video; fanfic narration. because he can.

[OOC: Warning for some smuttiness! I will avoid explicit stuff, and replies should likewise avoid explicit stuff, but there is absolutely smuttiness going on.]


[Zelos will be honest -- he didn't really know what to think of the fanfiction at the Foreigner Festival when he first realised what it was, and he hasn't gone out of his way to find any more since. There's something about the idea of someone narrating his life that doesn't sit well with him.

But then. But then.

He gets his hands on these.

When the camera turns on, Keeliai gets treated to one of Zelos's smarmiest grins. He's holding a book -- or a paper document that does its best to pass for a book, anyway -- and he waves it at the screen.]

Hello there, all my beautiful hunnies! I have a special treat for everyone today. You know those stories people write about us? [He waves the papers some more.] I hit the jackpot! You'll never guess what I found.

[Some people can maybe guess.]

Hang on, I'm going to read out the best part. If anyone knows who 'Inaev Morenth' is, by the way, I'm happy to pay you to tell me. Okay, so here we go! This one's called The Hot Dust.

[And Zelos clears his throat, repositions the papers, and... proceeds to narrate what is unmistakeably, from the very first word, smut. Perhaps mercifully, people can turn off their consoles whenever they want.]

Comments

[Half scandalised but half interested is exactly Zelos's area of expertise.]

Right? I'm thinking about making it a regular thing. With warnings, because everyone's demanding that, but it doesn't seem like the author's done yet. [With a grin:] Interested?

[isochrone]

Well, yes, I certainly think warnings would be appropriate... but so long as those are observed, I suppose there isn't any real harm in it. It's a poor society that wants to censor material simply because people aren't used to it.

[You are now Zelos's favourite person, Elizabeth. Congratulations.]

I already agreed to use warnings next time. Valdis threatened to arrest me if I don't. [He sounds entirely unconcerned about this.] But I'm definitely doing it again, whether it gets censored or not, so if you want to hear more, you're in luck!

[isochrone]

[ Elizabeth has no idea yet what being his favourite person might entail. ]

I'm sure Valdis is only looking out for everyone.

Where did you find this, anyway?

[choiced]

What, by assuming everyone's too young to enjoy it? That's ridiculous. We're --

[He stops and thinks.]

How old is the youngest Foreigner, anyway? I don't think I've met one who's still a kid.

[This is so utterly beside the point that even Zelos seems to realise it, and he shakes his head and grins.] You know the stories kedan have been writing about us? The fan... stuff? It's one of them.
