☆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]]

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.

Action

[tearsofademon]

You never know.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*just giving you a look*

Action

[tearsofademon]

What? Besides, you're better at convincing people to go along with you than I am. You'd stand a better chance.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Yes, because it's clearly just so inclined to listen to reason....

*the swablu is currently thoroughly ignoring the two humans in favor of contentedly chirping to itself*

Action

[tearsofademon]

How will you know if you don't ask it?

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*....you are suggesting he try to reason with something that is sitting on his head. I mean, REALLY now....*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[Hey, Pokémon are intelligent.]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*well, yes, which is why it should have gotten the hint by now.... :|*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[They can also be stubborn about that.]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*so Sion is noticing :|*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[Is there any reason not to at least try?]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*the coaxing has failed to work so far, you know*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[Surely you can outstubborn a cotton bird.]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*well, you can be sure I'm TRYING....*
