☆40☆ [Video/Action for Blackthorn City, backdated a day or so because... yeah uh... yeah]

[tearsofademon]

[So today, from the 'gear of a certain lazy mage, comes a video not of said mage or any member of his menagerie... but of a certain work-a-holic king.

With a Swablu on his head.

Oh, by the looks of things he's trying to get the bird off his head, but every time he tries to swat it off, it just hops and dodges out of the way before settling back down immediately after. I guess it likes Sion's hair.

Of course, most of what the 'gear's microphone is picking up? Ryner's snickering.]

Guess someone really appreciates how much time you put into your hair, Sion.

[Sion looks this way indignantly.] That's not--... [and then he sees the 'gear] Ryner, are you recording this?

[And now the video quickly shifts away as Ryner tries to innocently hide the 'gear behind his back.] Of course not.

[The Swablu, having made itself more comfortable on Sion's head in his moment of distraction, gives a content "Swa~", and then the feed is cut.]

[[ooc: blue is Sion]]

*"swablu swa~" the swablu is protesting being held there, especially not when there's such a comfortable head right there...*

It's the principle of the matter.

Action

[tearsofademon]

But it likes it up there.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Then why don't we see if it wouldn't prefer your head instead?

*holds out the swablu like he's going to put it on Ryner's head, at that...*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[raising his hands]

Hey, we don't need to take it that far...

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*"swablu swablu!" looks like it's getting restless at all this now..*

Are you quite sure...?

*continues to hold it out*

Action

[tearsofademon]

Very sure.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

I don't know, I think it might like you after all...

*though even as he says that, the swablu finally manages to break free of his grip, zooming into the air*

Action

[tearsofademon]

You're so sure about that?

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*"swablu~" look out, it's wheeled around and is now zooming right back at them.....*

Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there?

*ducks :D*

Action

[tearsofademon]

Aaaaagh!

[Swablu flying straight toward > attempt to duck out of the way a second after it would be useful]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*"swa!" you may feel yourself buffeted by a pair of cottony wings as the swablu hits your head, then uses it as a platform to launch itself into the air again and zoom straight for Sion's hair.

"Swa~"*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[...not entirely unexpected...]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*...SO not amused.....

"swablu swa~"*

Action

[tearsofademon]

...Well. Guess that answers that.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

I would rather it didn't.

Action

[tearsofademon]

What, you don't want a bird nesting in your hair?

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Would you?

Action

[tearsofademon]

Well, that doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, it obviously likes your hair better.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

That's precisely the problem!

Action

[tearsofademon]

Maybe if you ask it nicely...?

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Does it look like it's going to listen?

Action

[tearsofademon]

Well, it couldn't hurt to ask it...

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*by now the swablu is quietly chirping to itself as it preens*

Well, if you're so certain of that, be my guest.

Action

[tearsofademon]

But it's your head.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

And you're the one assuming it would listen to reason.
