☆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]]

You never know.

*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....*

[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....*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[You can do it!!!]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*why won't this thing let GO? I mean, seriously*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[It likes your hair, man.]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, I hate to do it, but I wonder if I'll have to ask Jina to help...

Action

[tearsofademon]

...I guess if there's no other choice and he goes easy...

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

It would probably be the only expedient way to go about it, really.

*meanwhile, blithely ignoring all this conversation, the swablu has started Singing to itself....*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[It sure has.]

I'd just rather not see either of you get hurt because of this.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Well, if it gives us no other choice....

*...yawns, what's with this sleepy feeling all of a sudden?*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[also yawning...]

...well, good luck with that...

[sitting back down on the ground because maaaaaaaaan does a nap sound even better than usual all of a sudden]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*the swablu just continues cheerfully Singing~*

It can't stay up there forever, at any rate...

*why is it so hard to keep his eyes open...*

Action

[tearsofademon]

...'re probably right about that, yeah...

[already has his eyes closed]
