10th Card ♛ Video

[key_illusion]

[The feed starts out with ??? giving a rather clumsy looking smile to the--

Haha, who are we kidding. ??? would never make a video with his face included on purpose.

Nope, it's actually a view of the sunrise from what seems to be on top of a building. Only ???'s hand is visible with glowing runes on the back: the source of the light that's gathered at his fingertips which he's writing in the air with. The bright letters remain in the air once he's done.]

Hey.

I need a volunteer to test out some runes for me.

It might be dangerous, but I'm sure it won't do much.

I'll pay you and teach you some more if you want to learn.

Also the same goes for someone to teach me how to use a bow.

I'll be updating the runes book at the magic guild.

There's some you'll have to come to me to learn.

[A pause before he keeps writing:]

Which do you like better: sunsets or sunrises?

[The tech does not like water, hiiissss.]

Yup. It might feel weird, but don't worry too much.

[nukeoleptic]

Okay.

[ She concentrates for a moment- and suddenly, gills. Jade makes a noise of alarm. ]

[key_illusion]

Yes, it worked! [??? is soooooo pleased with himself, you have no idea, Jade.]

How's it feel?

[nukeoleptic]

[ Jade makes a weird, whispy gurgly sound-- and then ducks her head beneath the water. ]

[key_illusion]

[Sorry Jade, but he's casting out Telepathy to listen for your thoughts. He's vaguely worried.]

Jade?

[nukeoleptic]

[ She's fine! But the telepathy startles her. What if she.. thinks back really hard at him. ]

I'm fine! This is weird.

[key_illusion]

[Don't think too hard, Jade. You might break something.]

What's it like under the water?

[nukeoleptic]

[ Truth. She splashes a bit, curiously. ]

Chilly!!

[key_illusion]

Probably not as cold as the beach. [Silly. He's going off of Sora's memories though.]

[nukeoleptic]

Nope! But it's been years since I've been to the beach.

[ And then she turns, squat-waddles into deeper water, and dives. ]

[key_illusion]

Roxas always wanted to go to the beach. He didn't go on that last mission though.

[B'awwwww, thinking about Roxas now. :(

He really should pay more attention to the experiment instead of thinking of his original.]

[nukeoleptic]

Sunny. There are fish in this lake. How did I not know that??

[ GLUB GLUB. ]

[key_illusion]

Don't most bodies of water have fish in them?

[CONSIDERING IT'S A PARK.] Try focusing on the surrounding down there. I want to see.

[nukeoleptic]

Well, it's not like you ever see anyone fishing here!

[ You saw a duck eating a tiny fish the other day, Jade... ]

And I'm focusing, but it's really dark.

[key_illusion]

Why would they want to fish? [What is food.]

Are there any lights that work underwater? Maybe it's really dark because it's dirty.

[nukeoleptic]

To eat it? I think it's just dark down here. Hard for light to get here, I think I should probably think about what to get for dinner- I wonder if Draco's hungry. We should go fishing sometimes!

[ Sometimes her mind wanders...... ]

[key_illusion]

[At least Draco's a friend, so he doesn't mind it too much...]

Jade, focus.

[nukeoleptic]

I'm focusing! How long is this supposed to last, anyway?

[key_illusion]

My guess would be an hour. You can probably deactivate the runes though so you don't have to stay in that long.

[nukeoleptic]

No way! I'm gonna stay down here the whole time.

[key_illusion]

You sure? What if it ends while you're at the bottom?

[nukeoleptic]

Then I can just.. swim to the top!

[key_illusion]

Are you really good at swimming? I wouldn't be able to save you, you know!

[nukeoleptic]

Hehehe. Sunny, I won't ever ask you to save me, okay?

[key_illusion]

Hey, I could save plenty of people! I can't handle water, but don't make me sound useless!
