[So Kon has recovered for the most part, he just can't be bothered to do his usual video broadcasts.]

So I guess I can scratch 'being possessed' of my bucket list. Sorry if I hurt anyone. [It's easier to pretend he doesn't remember seeing what he did. Mostly to kedan though. And it's better than doing this over video because then no one can see any twitches that happen when he lies. Or you know, in case the twitches do happen.

He sighs.]

It is over, right? I mean those things are gone enough to not bother us? Kinda lame that they were pretty immune to physical contact though. I've looked and not really seen anything.

You got it? Magic powers? Makin' us non-magic folk tremble in fear, Kon? Huh? [ Oh, right--introductions. ] M'name's Gavroche.

[tactile_telekinesis]

Nice to talk to you Gavroche. I got powers yeah, they're not magic though and I don't use them to make other people afraid. I use them to help. I'm one of the good guys.

voice;

[chiot]

I'd make people scareda me. Then everyone could know! 'I'm Gavroche, an' you're gonna stay away from my elephant!'

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

You would, huh? So what's this elephant then?

video;

[chiot]

My home. Or was back then, I lived in an elephant. Big ol' thing, but there were rats. [ And if he was REALLY hungry he could always eat them, if he couldn't get his hand on a few sous. Nonetheless: ] Lotsa people wanted to tear it down even though it was fancy 'cause it was rottin'. [ Sweet, sweet symbolism for the French Revolution. ]

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

[It sounds kinda nasty and he doesn't blame people for wanting to tear it down, but hey it was the kids home so who was he to say anything bad about it?]

Oh okay. Yeah I can see why you'd want to make people afraid and stay away.

voice;

[chiot]

You protect your home, right? With your powers.

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

[Huh, he didn't really have a home that needed protected, but when he was back in Hawaii, he saw the Islands as his home so...]

Yeah. Stop the bad guys from bustin' it up and hurtin' people.

voice;

[chiot]

Stop the rich from gettin' richer and the poor sufferin'?

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Like Robin Hood, only, y'know, without the stealin'. [UNLESS IT WAS STOLEN FROM THE POOR!]

voice;

[chiot]

wha? Y'gotta steal.

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Well only if they steal first. Cause then I'd be just as bad, right? Got an image to keep.

voice;

[chiot]

Why you gotta worry about an image?

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

It's really complicated but it's just...I'm public so if I'm seen stealing for not reason that's gonna look bad and I'll lose trust. I need to be trusted if I want to help people, right?

voice;

[chiot]

You're public? Whazzat supposed to mean?

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

It means people know about me and what I do. I used to be...Basically if I do stuff like that for no reason, people will be angry and I could get into a lot of trouble, like serious trouble where I won't be able to help people anymore.

voice;

[chiot]

You're like--umm--Robin Hood, huh?

People knew what I did an' they didn't care 'cause I helped 'em lots. Maybe you can do the same!

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Yeah, like a super powered Robin Hood.

I guess so.

voice;

[chiot]

Hah, see? Y'gotta trust Gavroche. An' if you need anyfin' you don't wanna see yourself doin', y'lemme know, huh? I'll do it for a few Juulan.

voice;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Sounds cool to me. [He probably won't unless it's something he really can't do for some reason. But he likes the kid.]

You'll be the first guy I go to.
