video ♔ from polteageist - i mean, apollo

[priforprince]

From: Apollo
Date: December 24

[ This video is shot at a weird angle, looking up at the people on the camera from ground level. It's also happening in media res, no introduction, no explanation.

But what's happening is fairly obvious.

It's a guitar battle. Hibiki on acoustic guitar, her opponent on electric bass. They are managing to make it work.

But both of them are incredibly in the moment, here. If you want to get their attention, you might have to yell. ]

[ He doesn't want to interrupt but he does leave a video response that waits when they check the phone later. D2 is happily clapping his hands a little. ]

Ooh, that was really cool.

[ This plan immediately backfires on the "person" who'd turned on the feed, as Hibiki notices this response just as she's about to recover her strength after her bout with a refreshing cup of tea.

Now that won't be happening. ]

You spend too much time on the PPS.

video still

[smilingbullet]

[ She ought to have known that this would happen. D2 always ruins teatime. Chuckling as he does it. ]

And you don't spend too much time on the BBS? I'm sure you're way more active than I am.

Reconnaissance and rabble-rousing are as different as a hedgehog and a measuring tape wrapped around a pincushion.

[ She doesn't know what it means either so don't bother asking. ]

[smilingbullet]

That is the most hilarious analogy- metaphor? that I've ever heard. One can do two things at once.

[priforprince]

I was contrasting your style with mine.

[ She doesn't rouse the rabble. That would involve associating with it. ]

[smilingbullet]

Oh! I didn't know you had a discernible style!

[ She has the most discernible style and he knows it well. ]

[priforprince]

Yours is unattractive.

[ Wait, why is that message sending with a picture, was there a picture -

teacup ghost

when did you turn the flash off on the camera ]

[smilingbullet]

[ Masterfully done, teacup ghost ]

Ouch! I'm so hurt, I think my heart might break!

[ See him dramatically clutch his heart. He's clearly in pure agony. ]

[priforprince]

[ D2 is one of teacup ghost's favorite people. It throws him a bone when it can.

Hibiki is in a different sort of agony, over here. ]

See to that elsewhere, then.

Disconnect this call.

[smilingbullet]

[ Aww, teacup ghost is the sweetest. ]

Eh-? But that's no fun at all?

[priforprince]

Why must I concern myself with your enjoyment?

[smilingbullet]

Well, I thought you were supposed to be an entertainer.

[bass_instincts]

Wow, I didn't know she started recording!

[He gives a pleasant smile,] How brave of her.

Video

[smilingbullet]

Rather than brave, it's inevitable. It's one of those things that she does.

Video

[bass_instincts]

Is she always that much of a diva?

She is a she, right?

Video

[smilingbullet]

Oh no, sometimes she's worse.

And she's a she as far as I know.

Video

[bass_instincts]

She can get worse?

That's possible?

Video

[smilingbullet]

Yep, it's always possible. It's best to assume that she's always able to get worse.

Video

[bass_instincts]

I guess you know her pretty well then. [He's giving an awkward, piteous laugh.]

Video

[smilingbullet]

I don't know if I know her well or not, but after a while she becomes predicably unpredictable that way.

Video

[bass_instincts]

Predictably unpredictable?

And she is a girl, then? What's that, Prince style?

Re: Video

[smilingbullet]

You can expect her to do things that are completely outrageous.

She hasn't said she's not a girl, at least. What's the prince style? Pretending to be a prince? She does seem to like acting like royalty, at least.

Video

[bass_instincts]

It's a fashion style where usually girls dress up in clothing styled like Victorian England's nobility.

It's fitting for her attitude.

Video

[smilingbullet]

Oh. Oh, yeah that would suit her remarkably. Flashy and fancy all at once.
