[The 'gear is at an angle this evening - it was obviously turned on on purpose, but it's not recording him head-on, instead from his side, while he's lying down. That doesn't mean you won't be able to make out things like the tiger stripe-like markings on his arms, or the fact that he's wearing sunglasses at night, or the fact that there's a tiny yellow spider cuddling very happily between his neck and shoulder, but.]

So, I'm kind of curious. Anyone got any interesting legends or anything, back where they come from?

They tend to be back where I come from, too. Doesn't mean I'm not interested in hearing about them.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Haaa, you have relics like that where you come from?

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Of course! In addition to Excalibur, there's everything from the Golden Fleece to the Dragonfire to the Conch of the Ssssirens!

[And trying to acquire them ends badly every single time.]

[tearsofademon]

Those are never good. What did it want?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Never heard of any of those, either. What are they?

[femininity]

Legends? You mean like old stories and stuff, right?

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

You really want me to explain them?

[Because he was half expecting to have been called a pain by now.]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't interested.

[He's actually interested in something you're saying, Cobra. This isn't something you'll probably ever see again.]

[tearsofademon]

Yeah, stuff like that.

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Of course.

Which one would you like me to explain first?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Mmm... let's go in order, I guess. The Golden Fleece?

[eagletalons]

Well then...

People in my world were taught that a hundred years before my birth, there was a war between my homeland, Cocoon, and another place, Pulse. Humans from both sides were chosen to wield magic and the ability to summon creatures to help. In the end, it was Cocoon that prevailed.

[This is a sore spot to him, considering he knows that the real version was less like a fairy tale than the shows of Nautilus, but he manages to keep his voice even, like he's only reciting from a book.]

[tearsofademon]

Let me guess, there's more to it than that?

[femininity]

You must have a good one, right? Hurry up and say it!

[eagletalons]

There always is, really. The reenactments I've seen were very biased and a lot more colorful.

[Video] I am so sorry but this is what happened in the episode

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Ah, that one is from an ancient Greek legend. According to ancient legend, a legendary hero named Jason was tasked by a king to retrieve it in order to become a king himself! It was sssaid to be the fleece of a winged ram, but as Cobra forces discovered, it was actually a golden cone dropped by an alien spacecraft!

[He is 100% serious, Ryner.]

One of my operatives ssstupidly shot the cone and it somehow sent them all back in time to ancient Greece! Thereby creating the legend in the first place! When they were returned to their own time, the aliens took the cone, preventing Cobra ssscientists from dismantling it and using it to conquer the past!

[And that's exactly what happened. But with more G.I. Joes being mistaken for the Argonauts and performing the labors of Hercules.]

[Video] that is beautiful

[tearsofademon]

...Seriously?

[On the one hand, considering some of what he's seen and read, it's certainly not impossible. On the other hand... that's a little out there, yes.]

video;

[tearsofademon]

Ah, you want to hear one that I know?

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yesss, seriously! As far as I know, that's exactly what happened! Unless my troops were making things up!

[Which is possible, but not the case this time!]

And they weren't because the UFO was seen by both my forces and G.I. Joe! And thisss time it wasn't a craft I had made to deceive them!

[femininity]

If it's good, I'll tell you one of mine too.

[video]

[milquetoasthero]

Oh... Yes, it is. Um... Which would you like to hear about? There are those two, and there's also the tragic love story of Asura and Inanna... which sort of ties in with the Fall, I guess.

[video]

[impulsives]

...Legends, huh? Don't know much of it, but I do have war stories if that counts.

[He's not really the bookish/interested in fairy tale type back home, so.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It was another fairy... only this fairy was evil! She was Maleficent, a wicked fairy who only used her powers for darkness. She claimed she was insulted that she wasn't invited to the party, and had her own gift for the baby princess. When the princess turned sixteen, she would prick her finger on a spinning needle, and die! She then laughed and vanished, mercilessly enjoying her cruel gift. The good fairies couldn't remove the gift... but the third one could still give her own. When the princess turned sixteen, she would still prick her finer on a spinning needle, but instead of dying, she would fall into a deep sleep, as would the entire kingdom. Only the kiss of true love would break the spell of sleep.

[dreamsofahero]

Hahaha.

*...is totally listening in on the stories, though*

I've heard she makes it so you never become a well known idol, or just causes the business to fail.

But it's just a story? I've never seen it happen before...
