ninth minute [backdated to Day 119]

[clockeyes]

[Hey, hey Asgard. Like sleeping in peace without a sound to bother you? Hate it when somebody rudely awakes you by screaming at the top of their lungs? Well, too bad! Because that is exactly what you are getting. So far, there is no one on screen- there is just the sound of somebody sounding utterly terrified.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

[And it continues like that for some time, until said person screaming almost forgets to take a breath and proceeds to cough and hack. Finally, the person himself stumbles on screen, grasping at his eyes with a very pained expression.]

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Where-where are my eyes? My gears? And...and everything is really squishy and soft too...

[A disgusted sound and a shudder.]

Everything is just so quiet, too! It's really disconcerting. I should be able to hear them ticking, but they're not there, and...oh my dear Lord, this shouldn't be happening. How do I even live like this?

[He manages to detach one hand from his face to pull a chair next to him for sitting on as he stares wearingly into the camera with a bright green eye.]

Also...gosh, blinking is weird when you haven't done it for hundreds of years. How do you humans even manage it? It's like you don't see half the things around you because your eyelid is just flapping up and down and you can't do a thing about it!

I mean...no offense to humans or anything. You're all really wonderful and stuff, but I-I don't think I could possibly live as one of you.

[A sigh.]

Not ever.

[ooc: Have a bodyswapped Cheriour, who is currently hanging out in Ernest's body (A note: Ernest is deaf, so Cheriour actually won't be able to hear anything your character says.). Replies will be made with nomoregears!]

[Good gods what is with that screaming ahfkashkf

Ernest has turned on the video and is holding up a piece of paper with writing on it.]

Is this yours?

[nomoregears]

[Wait a second. What. That's...that's him. Wow, looking at himself is such a weird feeling, don't mind if he stares a while at the camera with a raised eyebrow, before speaking:]

Um. Yes. That body is mine.

I'm guessing this is yours?

video

[clocknoises]

[Nodding! Linefacing the whole time because this is all ridiculous. He turns the paper around.]

How do you stop the ticking.

video

[nomoregears]

How do you stop the- wait. No, no no no, you can't stop it! It's always there.

It helps me focus, really. I'm sorry you have to hear it, but stopping it is like stopping you from, I dunno, breathing.

[...]

I see.

It's driving me insane, though.

video

[nomoregears]

[He's silent for a while, frowning. Insane. Those clocks kept him from going insane, not the other way around.]

Odd. But never mind that, I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do.

[clocknoises]

[You try saying that after spending your existence with everything being silent to you broski.]

This better not last long, then.

video

[nomoregears]

That's what I hope. I don't think I like everything being silent all the time...

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I didn't know angels could be so noisy.

[asklfj SHE HAS NO IDEA HE WON'T BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT since it's only audio :'D But at least the talk of gears and eyes and ticking are a total giveaway as to who this really is.]

[Video]

[nomoregears]

[Yep, Cheriour doesn't even show a hint that he heard anything, and just sighs, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.]

I hope this doesn't last long...having these eyes and all these weird soft organs is just incredibly weird...

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Cheriour? [Man did he hear her?] Hey!

[Audio]

[nomoregears]

[Now he's just trying to prop his eyelids open with his fingers and keep them that way. Unfortunately, it's failing. Horribly.]

Ow! That hurts!

[Text]

[occulthymns]

[Weird... she'll try with text, then video.]

HEY!!!

[Video]

[nomoregears]

[Hey, it's a message! Better check that right away.]

Oh, Euri! Hello!

...Why are you yelling at me through text, though?

[Text]

[occulthymns]

(」゜ロ゜)」 You weren't responding to my other messages! That's why!

[Video]

[nomoregears]

What other messages? This is the first one I've gotten from you.

...And what is that symbol supposed to be at the beginning?

video

[imperish]

Shut up, you idiot!

video

[nomoregears]

...

[Cheriour just stares for a while, because while he knows something has been said, he can't actually hear it. Welp.]

Um. Say that again? I think something is wrong with my bracelet, I can't hear a thing...

video

[imperish]

I said, shut up.

video

[nomoregears]

[Peering at the camera and trying his best to read those lips.]

Shut...up? Hey, I'm-I'm sorry! I was just startled by everything, I'm sorry if that bothered you. But telling someone to shut up isn't nice.

And why is the sound on this thing gone...?

video

[imperish]

Bothered me? You woke me up with your damn screaming! I don't care if I'm not being nice!

video

[nomoregears]

[Just going to be flustered over here, don't mind him.]

Miss, please speak slower, I can't read what you're sayng that fast! And once again, I'm sorry, but attacking me is not the way to go!

[imperish]

[ Fine, switching. ]

You woke me up with your damn screaming. I don't care if I'm not nice.

action; lmfao what a trainwreck

[minifridge]

[Oh hi there enjoy a strange no-longer-British man running up to you and instantly falling back with alarm.]

Who are you?

action; everything is going wrong

[nomoregears]

[Cheriour only manages to turn around when he sees the man fall over, and immediatedly launches into a flustered and concerned expression of alarm.]

Ah! Sir, are you alright? I do hope you're alright, I hope I didn't scare you!

[Totally didn't hear anything you said, dear. 8Ib]
