「02」VIDEO/ACTION FOR HIS ROOM

[ex_bawl518]

[ Hello, Asgard. It's late, and Bolin is on your video feed tonight, looking slightly -- more-so, extremely -- horrible. Appearance-wise, anyway. His hair is tussled, his eyes are shot. His face is droopy and he's slumped down in his bed as far as you can see.

Someone's been crying again.. ]

Hey, Asgard. [ A sniffle as he rubs his eyes. ] Does anyone have, like, a good pick-me-up? I mean, I know it's been hard these past few days, but.. Tell me a joke, anything. [ He shifts in the bed as Pabu the fire ferret peeks into the feed, nuzzling Bolin's cheek. ] Pabu?

[ A moment or two before the feed clicks off. After all this darkness hoo-ha, the rain, AND people going missing -- well, it's a lot. Still. Way to go kiddo, not even gonna mention the fact that your brother left in the midst of it all. Don't blame him, he's so... under the weather. ]

[ ooc; forward-dated to day 135 (for the rain). i hope this is ok, otherwise you know what to do. ]

[Someone is crying? Well, Bianca isn't going stand for that! Quick, Bianca, think of something!]

Hey, cheer up! I know a joke for you! Okay so...

You know why Emboar crossed the street? [Pause] Because it was too hot for him!

[seventeenpills]

[Aw. That poor guy looked miserable.]

I'd offer to tell a joke, but I'm really not good at them. Not in the conventional sense, at least.

A good meal usually doesn't hurt, though. I'll generally cook something if I'm feeling down or under the weather.

[with_the_big_top]

Would someone juggling things on fire help?

I can totally do that.

[naicha]

[ Poor guy. Taiwan knows how he feels. It only prompts her to make the late night snack she was already making for him a little faster. Soon, Bolin will hear someone knocking at his door. ]

Are you hungry? It's me, Taiwan! ... Oh, you probably don't know me, though.

Anyway, I brought you something to eat. If that's okay? Teacher says food always cheers people up.

[OH HE IS ON THIS LIKE WHITE ON RICE.]

I got one:

Three men are captured by cannibals.

The cannibal leader says that if the men can go into the jungle and find 10 of the same fruit they would be freed.

So they go into the jungle. The first man comes out and was told by the leader that if he could shove all his fruits (apples) up his butt without wincing or making faces they would be freed. So the man shoves the first one up and then a second one accept he winced so they killed him.

The second man comes in with berries. He's all the way to 8 when he bursts out laughing and is killed.

In heaven the first man asks the second man "why did you burst out laughing you could of made it?"

The second man replies "I couldn't help it I saw the third guy come into the clearing with pineapples.

[ryougi]

Think you need a good nap more than a joke right now.

[gentle]

[N isn't very god at jokes, but he gives it a try anyway. this guy looks haggard as hell.]

Knock knock.

[labelism]

What is with all these masochistically moody people today?! [His tone is as mocking as ever, rather than being outright confrontational or annoyed]

Aren't you a man?! What kind of man would show others that he has cried?!

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[She's terrible at jokes. Terrible. So she's skipping that and going straight for concern.]

... Are you okay?

[ex_bawl518]

Is--is it that bad? [ He sniffles loudly. Aw shit! You can see snot now. ]

[Voice]

[ex_bawl518]

[ Oh Bianca, you're too nice! Too bad you're making references to pokemon and despite the fact that Bolin has ridden on one before, he hasn't exactly... caught 'em all. ]

Uh.

Haha.

[ It actually sounds more like he's speaking the words instead of laughing. ]

video;

[ryougi]

... yeah.

You kinda look like shit basically. [Maybe one day she won't be so awfully blunt. q_q One day.]

[ex_bawl518]

[ He is, Hisao, he is. ]

S'okay. [ A pause as he tries to remember if he knows how to cook. ] Well, my brother usually brought me food...

[ Wait. ]

Bro.

Bro..!

[ More fits of sobs. Sweet Jesus. ]

[ex_bawl518]

I don't knoooow. But if you want to, I guess you can try... [ He wipes at his nose with his finger. ]

[ex_bawl518]

[ It's the thought that counts. ]

Guh, who's there?

[seventeenpills]

Oh... your Brother was here and left? I'm really sorry. That seems to be a running theme today.

[Hibiki, Nakama, This Guy - The Gods were just on a Return Everyone Anyone Loves Spree, weren't they?]

Well, I'm not your Brother, but I can at least cook? My name is Hisao. I can make you something if you want?

[text] BLESS YOU FOR MAKING HIM USE TEXT

[ex_bawl518]

[ Oh, that is long. Bo switches to text, just to make communication more smooth.

Too bad he's still droopy and upset. Expect many typos. ]

voice

[begrudged]

I never thought I'd see you moping around. What happened to the whole "being an idiot is great" thing?

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

[It cheered him up a bit at least! There was a pause coming from her end]

...You don't know what Pokemon is do you? If not, my bad!

Do you want me to explain what an Emboar is?

action.

[adventurous]

[ she knows your feel, Bo... well, to a certain extent. Hilda considered Mako to be a semi-close friend, but she also knew what a close bond he and his younger brother had. she might not have a sibling, but she knows that loosing someone close to you is beyond rough.

so even though it's storming outside, it's still the first day and not too rough. he'll hear a knock on his window, and out there is Hilda, holding an umbrella and riding on Reshiram's back.

apparently this is how she chooses to address these brothers. through their windows. ]

[gentle]

[oooooh god, N is trying not to crack up or sputter but this joke is so good--]

...Raichu.

[ex_bawl518]

[ Bolin blushes just barely, looking away. ]

Gee, thanks. [ A sniffle again, more softly this time. ] I'm too tired to nap, though..

[ex_bawl518]

Huh?

[ THAT MOCKING TONE IS JUST MAKING THINGS WORSE JESUS. ]

Of--of course I'm a man! I'm the manliest man out there? Right.. [ SNIFFLE. ]

Just 'cause I'm a dude doesn't mean I don't have really fragile feelings! Ok?

[Audio]

[ex_bawl518]

Not really. [ Whoops, that kind of came out squeaky. ]

action

[ex_bawl518]

[ Ooo, a knock. It's a shame Bolin's curled up in his bed spread at this point, otherwise he'd answer the door himself. ]

Come in..!

[ What he really means is... ohmygodfoodivebeenstarvingmyselfcryingallthistimeholycrap ]
