Week 43 ❖ Friday ❖ video -> text

[akito]

[ have one currently powerless wind spirit staring awkwardly at his communication device, worrying at his lip for a moment before offering a small, equally awkward smile. ]

Ah... Hi! I'm Akito. I'm, um... Usually invisible to most people because I'm a wind spirit. Back home I kind of... try to manage global warming, so it doesn't happen faster than everything can adapt... Umm...

I thought it would be kind of... cool? To, ah... Try and see if I'll still be visible in a video feed after the collar comes back off... Since you never know, ne?

[ he fiddles with a snowflake he's attached to a small chain he wears. the hand that's visible is splinted, and the plastic may or may not have a couple of random, bright stickers on it. he makes sure the next part is filtered away from Jack: ]

Question!

Um... How do you make a... crush go away? Like... Make your heart stop going dokidoki around them...



[ private to jack | text; ]

I found out that I don't really like doctors.
I think it was because of something from Before
Because there's no other reason for it.
Anyway
That is part of why I was being kind of
Obstinate ??
You were just trying to help.


I got a splint put on it and it's fine now.

[ loki u r just a babby how do you know what's useful in affairs of the heart gosh!! ]

It is only so useful for so long...

[attention_wenches]

[It's fairly impressive that he's managed to understand exactly nothing about the subject after several centuries and attracting all the romantic attention that Thor doesn't absorb on account of being princes.]

My magic tutor has a most unfortunate fixation on my brother. This is what I've observed.

[akito]

That's kind of weird.

[attention_wenches]

Very much so. I have no idea what it is about him that overthrows the faculties of otherwise sensible women. But Amora keeps herself busy at the temple and it seems to do her plenty of good.

[akito]

Your brother is... Thor, ne?

He is pretty good-looking, but not enough that it should make people stupid.

[attention_wenches]

I suppose, but it's happened more than once, so...

[akito]

Maybe it's one of his supernatural abilities?

[attention_wenches]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[akito]

[ colour him amused. ]

It could be a theory worth putting to the test.
