second verse ☯ video;

[problematical]

He's gone, the other one... not Hawke. He was so heavy, he took away all the air wherever he went, drained it out like a vacuum.

[ Someone has noticed one of her suitemates has left the turtle and although she never spoke to him, seems much relieved he's not there. (Sorry Bert.) ]

There's so many secrets here, sometimes it's hard to breathe, to think. Keep trying to pull them out and... and...

[akito]

There's... Um... There is a... big... child... turtle in my head? Its name is Quintus. He's cute...

[ Even if he wasn't under the influence of turtle parentage, Akito would feel more relaxed now than he has since he first arrived. Having that empty void in his mind filled somewhat is a good feeling. Still, he doesn't really know what the heck is going on. ]

Is he okay staying outside? What am I supposed to do with him?

[ Aside from dote on him because cute and affectionate. And helping with the loneliness a little. Though mystical baby turtles in his head isn't all he wanted to post about - he has some other news that he's actually pretty happy with. ]

Ah... In other news! I found a small area that would be good to teach beginners how to skate with roller blades. It's not the best, but it's something, ne?

So, um... If anyone wants to learn how to roller blade, I can teach you in return for something else! I can teach beginners all the way up to professional-level skating. I don't have all the equipment for it though... But if you don't mind not having protective padding, I can definitely start teaching you right away! You just have to have a pair of roller blades!

Or if you would rather learn ice skating, I can teach that too! Beginners to professional! I just don't know if there is a skating rink here...

[ He falls silent for a moment, debating on whether or not to ask the last question he has before deciding that it won't hurt to try: ]

I also found a small field for sports... Would anyone want to play Ultimate Frisbee with me? Full body contact allowed! But, ah... No superpowers?

That's it! Thank you very much.



(( ooc: @ hawke-mun & skul-mun! i hope it's okay to assume akito already bumped into quintus and played with him a bit? he'll seek out his turtle to play with once a day from now on, too! please feel free to contact me! ))

✦ 013 ✦ [VIDEO] ✦ Network Cafe ✦

[backwordscompatible]

[It was a lovely day for a Network Post, wouldn't you agree, residents of Keelai? The sun was shining...the tank was clean...and Zatanna was sitting in front of a public console with the brightest smile she'd worn in a long time. Cheesy, at first, and definitely purposely over-the-top (her boss had clearly put her up to this, and she clearly was going along with it for giggles), but even as time went on and it melted away into something more genuine, her aura continued to project sheer happiness at life, the universe, and everything.  For now.]

[Although the casual onlooker might be more interested in the unusual outfit she was wearing. Which she very deliberately paired off with her favorite charmed choker, not even caring that it didn't match the rest of the ensemble.]

Do you know what the Future Holds? ...that's okay, neither do I. But together, we can probably managed to squeeze a few hints out of it...with these.

[Smirking, she held up one hand, then flicked her wrist in such a way that a deck of cards appeared in hand. Magically.]

[Of course, those who knew her spells well enough would recognize the fact that she hadn't uttered a single backwards word. The trick was legitimate sleight-of-hand. No cheating.]

Spring Special: all tarot card readings, half off for the entire Month of April.

Admit it.  You know you're curious.

[And on that note, she sent one last wink directly into the camera before signing off.]

[funkindofwicked]

[She's had enough of not doing anything. Bored beyond recognition. She didn't realize how much extra time she would have on her hands when she was going out of her way to ignore certain people. But that was only going to last for so long before she's bored with little to do and even less she gives a care about trying to do.]

This sitting around and waiting for something to happen just isn't my style. Aren't we supposed to be going to war sometime?

[War does not sound bad right now at all if it means she'll be doing something instead of working a crappy job and punching gang members when they get out of line.]

What is the lamest, dumbest and least funny joke that you've ever heard? I'm sure there have to be some real jewels out there. The ones so stupid they're almost funny.

[It's this or looking for someone to fight. She wouldn't mind the latter, really, but the quality of people to punch has gone a lot in the last few months.]

[Private to Kaine]

I'm bored out of my mind and I think the gang members in my territory are hiding out from me now. Do something amusing.
