♉8 - video

[ the gear records a warmly lit room at the Goldenrod inn. it's a bit dim, just a rich buttery light coming from a lone lamp by the bed, but the viewer will have no trouble making out the picture. Tavros has just wheeled across the room in his chair and opened the window, making the curtains flutter in the chilly breeze. he doesn't seem to mind, though, and after looking outside for a long time he smiles and siiiii~ghs, then turns and reaches for the pokegear.

instead of pointing it at himself, he points it out the window ("Look!"), up at the sky. so many stars! millions and millions of bright stars on a beautiful black sky. from behind the camera, Tavros giggles quietly. ]


Which star do you think is the second one, uhh, to the right? The one that goes straight on 'till morning? It's sort of hard to tell. There's so many.

[ after a long moment Tavros sets the gear down next to him on the window sill and puts his chin in his hand, staring almost... longingly out at the night sky. ]

I heard that this "Christmas" holiday that humans have for celebrating involves receiving a visit from an individual that can make wishes happen, and I was sort of wondering if that's true. Because I have a wish that I've been wishing for very, very hard and I think now is as good a time as any for the granting of it to take place! Since, uhh, there is a particular occasion for it, that is. Maybe just, uhh... if the Claws-human could just send Pupa Pan to do the wish-giving for him instead, that would be okay with me. That would be really nice.

[ he cups his chin in both hands and smiles to himself. ]

That would be the nicest thing ever.

[ Nods! She gets it now. ]

Ah, that explains it-- so i-is your version of Christmas similar to mine?

Well, no, not exactly, at least, uhh, not based on what I've heard about the human holiday version. There is the decorating thing, that we also do with our lusus, and, we get a giant leafstalk to put things on, which is also something that humans do. But there is no Claws-human that brings gifts. We just do that ourselves.

[ GASP ] Eh?! You guys don't have a Santa Claus?! So... That means you guys have to know what you all want for Christmas, right?

video!

[identity profile] bullieve.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess so. It's not all that common, uhh, the gift-giving. I usually just get things for my lusus and maybe a few friends that I have, if they tell me there's a thing they like.

Ah... Well, that's not so bad! Christmas shouldn't be all about the gifts, after all.

Is it usually, for humans? Being about the gifts, like you said, I mean.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
For some, yes. But others value the idea of giving to others more than the gifts themselves, and many others enjoy Christmas because they get to spend time with family and friends.

That sounds pretty nice.

[ a pause to consider! he's not actually sure if he should say this because he already has a bad enough rep as a troll anyway, but fuck it. side-glancing at the camera with a little smile. ]

I think I kind of like the sound of the human version more.

video!

Well, now that you're human, you'll be able to experience it, right? Maybe Santa Claus will get to pay you a visit this year~!

[ And suddenly she pauses, because she knew she was forgetting something! ] Oh, I totally forgot-- my name is Orihime! Ah, I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself sooner!

video!

[identity profile] bullieve.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, uhh, right, that's okay, I also forgot about telling names, so, it's not just you. I'm Tavros.

[ also yes his mouth is still moving, but no sound is coming out. he's trying to figure out how to pronounce "Orihime" correctly before he says it... JAPANESE NAMES WHAT ARE THEY ]

video!

[ Pfft, Tavros, if you need help, just ask! That gets her chuckling a little, though. ] It's nice to meet you, Tavros-kun!

By the way, I'm just a little curious... What were you before you turned human?

video!

[identity profile] bullieve.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...yeah he definitely mouths "kun?" but decides not to ask, if only because he has a question to answer! good distraction from being an ignoramous, yes. ]

I was a thing called a troll, or, uhh, well, not a thing, but... well, that's what I was. I don't know if you know what they are, somehow I guess not a lot of humans have heard about them, here.

video!

A troll?

[ Blinkblink. She's imagining a stereotypical troll; the ones with warts and big feet etc. ]

Like... the ones you see in video games...?

[identity profile] bullieve.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
There are trolls in video games? I mean, uhh, in human ones...

[ it's okay, he's already been asked if he was a hideous monster and lived under a bridge :| ]

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
In some games, yeah, there are! B-But I'm sure you're not one of those, now that I think about it...

[ Not like Orihime's version is that much better but oh no, poor Tavros ;n; She can't picture him as a big scary monster. ]

[identity profile] bullieve.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
That's pretty neat, I guess, in theory, although, I can't comparatively, uhh, compare myself to them, since I don't really know what they look like.

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if that's the case, maybe you can tell me what you normally look like and I'll tell you if it matches with what I was talking about!
