third wing Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ video

[fluturi]

[There's a very, very tall man on your video today, Asgard. A man in a bright purple suit, and sunglasses even though there's no sun to be seen, what with the oncoming winter weather.]

Yeah, so I don't do this often, the posting thing, I mean, but I felt like something needed to be said.

[And he holds up his clasped hands, opening them slightly- inside them is a colorless butterfly, flapping it's wings feebly.]

Since it's pretty much a given we are going to be stuck here for a while long, possibly forever because life hates us, I've figured I ought to do something with my time about the insect population, considering winter's coming and all.

That's right, insects. Because at least these things are way more deserving of my help than humans are. So, here's the deal! I'm going to be creating one of those...what are they called, butterfly houses? And you bring me any butterflies or moths you have hanging around your place. Consider it a nice little donation to the cause, alright? And I don't know, I'll do something like not insult you for 24 hours. That's a pretty good deal, take advantage of it.

[A pause as he frowns at the camera.]

However...if you bring me any dead butterflies or moths, I'll seriously punch you in the face. They have to be alive. Don't test me, okay?

...

And if anyone actually knows how to create a butterfly house in the first place, that would be kind of helpful too.

Freyr. You want to talk to one of his guys. See if one of them can draw a butterfly house, if you're in a hurry. Otherwise I'll bet someone has something like they can get it.

...

And... well, at least you've got priorities?

[fluturi]

Freyr? Draw me a butterfly house... Wait, that's one of their powers, right? Is it permanent? I don't want it going "poof" when I least expect it.

...Of course I have priorities. Who doesn't?

[samantha_grey]

Far as I know, it's permanent, or at least as long as they want it to be. It's one of the smaller houses, so figuring out what they do's a little hard sometimes. Only guy I knew from that house was a stoner that used it to make weed.

So, why the butterflies?

oh wow html fail

[fluturi]

Good for him. Honestly, I see his point. I would be using it all for myself if I had the power, too.

[And he glances away, frowning.]

Because...they're just something I like, alright? You know, me being a Moth and all, even though we're in no way related...it's just a better use of my time to take care of them than worry about other people.

I've heard of bird houses, but not butterfly houses.

[But more importantly, she's got a bone to pick with you.]

Wanting to help the butterflies is nice and all, but did you have to say you care about them more than other people? Asking for help and insulting someone in the same breath's just rude!

video.

[fluturi]

Well, surprise, surprise, the more you know.

[A shrug because LOL LIKE THAT BOTHERS HIM.]

Because it's the truth. God, don't people appreciate honesty nowadays Besides, you obviously haven't been here long enough to know that I'm pretty vocal about my opinions.

[multifacets]

Oh, we appreciate honesty. You just don't need to be a jerk about it.

[It should bother you!]

[trinitylimit]

[With all the drama in his life right now, Sora needs a good joke. So when he gets to that last sentence, he has to laugh.]

They don't sleep through the winter or go somewhere warm?

[fluturi]

[THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER, SORA. >BI]

Oh, they would if they could, Last I checked this was all on the same continent, therefore it wouldn't get warm anywhere else.

And that's only some types of butterflies. The rest die because of the cold.

[video] oops i forgot this, i goofed

[trinitylimit]

Asgard butterflies live rough lives.

[He has a soft spot for everything ever. He spent like two years with a cricket in his jacket.]

[halflived]

Would this butterfly house be open to the public, or are you going to be babysitting them?

video

[fluturi]

B-babysitting them?! Honestly, who do you think I am??

[And a huff.]

But it is a good question...I guess I'll open it up to the public and make people pay to enter at some point.

[halflived]

A moth, if I'm remembering right. [He's going off of what he's read about in books here, don't be all huffy.]

The way you're answering, how much have you thought about this, sir?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

... That's nice of you.

[Video]

[fluturi]

Please do illuminate to me your definition of "nice", because I might take that as an insult instead.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Taking care of the butterflies instead of just letting them die. It's nice.

[5thchild]

Why do you love them so much - insects, that is.

[Video]

[fluturi]

Because at least they have stuff going for them that humans don't. They're just infinitely more likable, okay?

[Video]

[5thchild]

Like what? What do humans lack?

butterfliie2 are for pu22iie2.
bee2 are where iit'2 at.

[fluturi]

[oh god NOT YOU AGAIN]

Oh, right, because bees are clearly the best, considering they spend 100% percent of their lives following a queen like a brainless zombie.

Butterflies do their own thing. That's what makes them so great.

Don't you think that such animals have adaptations of their own to the weather, or they wouldn't have survived this long?

video;

[fluturi]

Some butterflies would migrate, but considering this entire place is on the same plain, fat chance they've got if they try to fly anywhere.

And butterflies don't really hibernate too, so to answer your question, this type of insect got the short end of the stick when it comes to this.

[deputychief]

But they shouldn't exist here at all if they have no mechanism at all to defend themselves. They've been here longer than us, after all.
