asgardeventide | third wing Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ video

[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.

Wow, thank you for illuminating me on an experience I've known for over twenty years, thanks.

And no way I'm going to crouch in someone's attic. What's the point?

Edited 2012-11-30 05:47 (UTC)

That's me, mistress of the blatantly obvious. And why do you think you'd be in the attic? Not wanting to be noticed, of course. Like I said, it's a decent place to hide in a pinch.

[A sigh.]

I had better hiding places than a dusty old attic, thank you very much.

Besides, think of all the stuff I'd get on my suit, eww...

Sometimes, you don't get the option of taking the best places. Like I said, it's good in a pinch. And if you're hiding, suits are usually the last concern.

I guess you have a point, though in my opinion, suits are definitely a big concern. I pay for the things to be properly fitted, after all.

heh. I've never had that problem. You can't fit things when you have a two foot long tail coming out of your spine. You're lucky you can get pants that fit without slashing holes in them.

Oh, right, the tail thing. Well, too bad for you, I guess. Luckily Moths don't have any such things, we're built outwardly like humans, even though our insides are considerably different.

Yeah, well I'd much rather not have it myself, but that's neither here nor there. My insides are mostly the same as theirs, just tougher. It'd be nice to just be human.

I agree to disagree. The more I'm unlike them, the happier I am. Really, sometimes I consider this form more of an annoyance than a boon.

The demon side's the one with all the disadvantages as far as I'm concerned, so it's probably a pretty different situation anyway.

Hey, maybe there are advantages to it you haven't found yet. It has to help in some way, doesn't it?

Purely tactics, yeah. The price's way too high by my book, but it does make me tougher.

Oh? What's the price, then?

I go completely psychotic once in a while. Lovely little downside there for one.

[NICK SHOWS HIS SYMPATHIES IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE:]

That...sucks.

[a master at showing sympathy, he is]

Can't you just take a chill pill for that?

Currently doing that. It's working so far, but I'm not the optimistic sort who thinks these things will always work until they actually do.

...it tastes fucking god-awful.

Hey, if it helps you, the taste would be like the last thing to complain about.

But...you don't think it'll work, like you said. But have you had another psychotic episode since then, or what?

I'm a pessimist, what can I say? For now it's working. I just don't trust it to stick indefinitely is all.

Pessimists live shorter lives, it's a proven fact. Just letting you know.

Another upside to being a pessimist then. I'd wondered what the other positives were.

So, dying early is a positive for you? Wow. Not exactly Ms Sunshine, are you?

Yeah, there's all kinds of reasons they put me in Hel. Really, though, it would be nice if death actually stuck. I wouldn't mind a long life, if I just stayed dead at the end.

Oh, that house? Yeah, I've hear some stuff about that...and I'm guessing this is your way of telling me you're immortal.

No, I've died before. I just... don't stay dead. I don't know if I could die of old age or not yet. It's complicated.

Like, you come back to life after you die?

...Don't tell me you're a zombie on top of the demon stuff, too.
