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.

[ he shakes his head. ] Not religion. Just stories.

If you don't believe in spirits, you can't see spirits.

[unofficial_ambassador]

Oh. I see. Maybe not, then.

[She's seen a lot but this is a bit much]

[akito]

It's no big deal. I'm more used to being invisible than seen.

[unofficial_ambassador]

I'm . . . not sure how to take that, to be honest. Take care of yourself all the same.

[akito]

Un, thanks.
