tWO SICK BEATS, [Text/Video]

[selfesteemkind]

[Well, that whole thing with the dreams was pretty unnerving to Tavros, especially since he found out that everyone had seen his. But luckily he's found something to distract himself from that.]

uHH, SO,
tHOSE DREAMS WERE, uHH, PRETTY WEIRD, RIGHT,
aND I GUESS, kIND OF SCARY ALSO, aND THEY MAKE ME FEEL KIND OF SAD THINKING ABOUT THEM,
bUT, uM, i FOUND SOMETHING, pRETTY NEAT JUST NOW,
uHH, cHECK IT OUT,

[The feed will then switch to video. It's Tavros, and behind him are a bunch of Arkan Sonney who don't seem to have noticed him yet. Tavros speaks in a low, excited whisper.]

So, uhh, I heard that, if you catch one of these small pigbeasts, you can get a wish! So, um, I will try it right now. Uhh, here I go!

[Tavros then props up the communicator carefully, and then turns around to sneak up on the pigs. Unfortunately it doesn't take long for them to notice him and almost all of them scatter. One of them is a little slower than the rest, so Tavros takes the opportunity to try and catch it by tackling it.

But the pig quickly scampers away, causing Tavros to not catch it and instead fall flat on his face. There's a moment of silence as he just lies there before you hear a muffled] Ow.

[It Keeps Happening.]

[Still weak from his injuries, Jr. sticks to an audio feed.]

...now that's just pathetic, man.

[A short coughing fit, and then he continues.]

You need a trap or something. Otherwise, you'll never catch them!

[audio]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

[It takes a little while for Tavros to reply.]

A trap? Uhh, I guess that would probably work better, but I am not sure how I would make one...

[audio]

[gunsablazing.livejournal.com]

Well first of all, you're gonna need some bait! Ya know, something to lure them in! Then you'll need a container or something...like a net! Or, hmm, like...

[oh god he doesn't know, DON'T SAY IT, JR.!]

Oh! Or a bucket!

[(fuu)]

[audio]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

[Oh no not the dreaded B word!!]

A. A buh.



A bucket...?

[audio]

[gunsablazing.livejournal.com]

Did I stutter?

[His tone is teasing though.]

For those fat suckers though...you might need a heavy-duty bucket!

[He laughs.]

[audio]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

He...heavy duty bucket...

[Jr. I think you've broken him.]

[audio]

[gunsablazing.livejournal.com]

[Meanwhile, Jr. is beginning to suspect that Tavros isn't the brightest bulb...]

Uh, yeah. There's gotta be an utility bucket in this place somewhere. Maybe you should ask Souji! He's in the inn a lot; I betcha he uses buckets all the time.

[Nothing is sacred.]

[ Nanako watches Tavros' attempt with great curiosity - this is clearly even better than tv back home. When he falls down there's a little wince though, and her expression turns a bit more worried. ]

A-are you okay?! Those things are fast..!

[ video ]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

[Tavros gets up when he hears Nanako's voice. He looks a little bruised, but other than that he's fine. All trolls are pretty durable, even this loser.]

Uh, I'm okay. Yeah, I guess they are pretty fast...

[ video ]

[myjunes]

[ Aw, Tavros, she still feels sorry for you.. ]

Um.. Do you maybe need some help? If you have more people, I'm sure you could catch one!

[ video ]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that would be great, but, uhh, are you sure? They are pretty fast, after all.

[ video ]

[myjunes]

Don't worry, I can be really fast too if I have to be! [ She giggles. ] If we catch one of them we'll get a wish, after all.. right?

[ video ]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And if you are fast, like you say, we can probably catch one.

[miiracles]

Dreams?

...

Mii. Are you alright?

[audio]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

Uhh, I'm okay...I'm fine...mostly...

Um, anyway, yeah, a few nights ago everyone had dreams about everyone.

[audio]

[miiracles]

...Don't give up.

Is this a common occurrence here?

[audio]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

I guess so, but I haven't been here for that long, so that was the first time it has ever happened to me.

[audio]

[miiracles]

It was merely a dream. Don't let it get you too down.

[audio]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

Uhh, o-okay, I won't. [Though it's all still fresh in his mind, and not just his dream.]

[video]

[akingmuststand.livejournal.com]

[Well, that's curious.]

Wishes?

[video]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

[Give him a second while he picks himself off the ground, Schneizel.]

Uhh, yeah. At least, that's what I've heard.

[video]

[akingmuststand.livejournal.com]

[Ever so kindly smile:] You're alright, I hope? And where was the source of this information?

[video]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, I'm alright! Don't worry about me. [Considering the other injuries Tavros has received, this is nothing.]

Uhh, well, I found this big book, with all these different faeries in it, and those little pigbeasts were one of them. And it said if you caught one, it could grant you a wish. But, uhh, they are pretty fast.

[video]

[akingmuststand.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, acquiring one's wishes is a goal seldom without hard work involved, is it not?

[video]

[adios-toreadork.livejournal.com]

Um, yeah, definitely. I wanted to be one of the Cavalreapers one day, so I practiced a lot with my jousting lance. And, uhh, I still do.

[Even though he can't join the Cavalreapers anymore since most trolls have now been wiped out...]
