Heaven's BBS | Video

[Posted: May 5th, morning
From: Nephenee

The video opens up in what's definitely a garden, or at least a forest with a bunch of flowers in view, and a not-oft-seen young women with green hair in blue armor, her helmet obscuring part of her face. Around her, there are more than a few books, some with titles such as Deities For Dummies, Lagomorphs For Losers, Your Shinki and YOU, and what looks like some self-help books for overcoming shyness.

The fact she's not been seen by most around here probably speaks to how well that's going.

One of her giant bunnies seems exasperated, and nudges her to talk already; there's a little hesitant mutter of agreement, before she actually addresses the device, her accent sounding a bit like warm apple pie, almost like it's from the Southeastern United States.]

H-hiya, folks. How're y'all doin'?

Um, Ah was wonderin' 'bout a few things. Like...do we got anyone 'round here who knows anythin' 'bout raisin' rabbits? We never had none back home on my farm, so while Ah've learned some stuff from readin' 'bout it, Ah'd rather see if maybe Ah can get more from talkin' to y'all. Experience is better than books, Ah reckon.

Uh, second, any one 'round here into exercisin' an' sparrin'? Ah'm a soldier, an' Ah really need to keep stuff sharp. Dummies only do so much, ya know?

Third, Ah...kinda need to get some new clothes, but Ah..don't know 'bout fashion stuff, so was...wonderin' if anyone could help with that? Ah've made some stuff, but havin' stuff premade would be nice.

Last...how do Ah work this technology stuff? Ah sorta figured out the 'ved-e-yo' thing, jus' could...use some help with other stuff...[Rubbing the back of her neck, here] please?

[Can you tell she's kind of crap at people-ing? Which is kind of ironic and hilarious, since she's the god of hospitality...

Someone please help her.]

Hey, Nephenee.

I don't know much about the other stuff, but if you want a sparring partner, I'll help you out.

[For the first time since the stream started, she smiles. It's nice knowing a friend is willing to help.]

Ah'd sure like that, Miss Katniss. What sorta stuff do ya know?

Just Katniss is fine.

[ She pauses. ]

Some hand-to-hand stuff. Archery. I'm learning sword fighting, too.

Hi there, young'un! I can't say I've ever raised a rabbit an' I think ye'll get plenty of offers for a spar, so that leaves th' clothes. Lemme tell ye, it doesn't matter what ye wear or what style ye like. Look at me!

[He steps back and reveals his flamboyant attire.]

I kin help ye look for clothes. I think ye are doin' jus fine with the technology.

[Holy moly bro, you've got a strong accent too! That helps her feel a little more relaxed, actually. Them's some pretty loud clothes, too, but it does look nice.]

Ah'd sure appreciate the help. But ya sure? We don't got any o'these doohickeys back home. Keep worryin' Ah'm gonna break it...

Is that style common 'round here?

[You don't get much stronger than a Victorian Cockney accent! Joker is wholly himself; he has no chance of hiding.]

Ye won't. I'm a clumsy oaf an' mine has survived! Trust me, they're indestructible!

Ah? Nope. I'm jus' a special lad, I suppose. I like me bright colors.

[That's a bun. Not sure if it's the same one from their first meeting but...]

I am afraid I can offer no knowledge of rabbits, since we have been raised around cats. But I can at least offer my services when it comes to sparring.

[Clothes can be discussed later.]

[It is! Autumn's ear perks at his voice, and she crawls onto her owner's lap...which gets a bit of an 'oof' out of the soldier. How heavy are you, giant fluffball? Regardless, Nephenee perks at hearing him as well, and she nods. She kind of expected this, but it's welcome nonetheless.]

We only had a few strays 'round the farm, honestly...they came an' went sure as they pleased, wouldn't really let me near 'em. Did keep the mice away, though.

[She's pretty grateful for that, but at least terriers were friendly. At any rate...]

Ah'd sure like that, Sir Aymeric, though Ah can't quite remember if ya told me what fightin' sort ya do. ~~[Cause my mun's slow as molasses.]~~

Our family cat is the same way; quite cankerous around strangers but loved us. But we never saw any mice as long as they were there.

[Because the cat probably beating on the mice outside.]

I...do not think I ever did mention that. My skills lie in archery and swordsmanship.

Preferred the doggies a bit, since they actually liked us. But kitties are nice. Jus' wish Ah could get one to like me sometimes.

[An animal that doesn't let her pet it makes her sadfais. :(

She does perk up at the mention of his fortes, though.]

Ah hafta admit, Ah know more 'bout sword fightin' then archery, but that's 'cause Sentinels are better 'gainst sword users...gotta know how it looks to defend against it, but Ah ain't used one. Reckon Ah'd be better at it than archery, though...back in the first war, they gave me an' another gal a bow to share, but neither o'us knew how to use it. Ah can dodge arrows good, though?

[Ohma...hadn't been prepared for a war. At all. There's lots of fun stories with that, actually.]

They take some time to warm up to people it seems; Mandragora was the same when I was younger.

[He was always such a grump but warmed up to him and his parents. Such a damn cat lover this one.]

A bow does take practice just like any other weapon but it also depends on how comfortable the person feels with that tool. Twas what I started with during my beginnings as a Temple Knight but I use a sword much more. But that is something we can try...if you so wish.

Aw, ya named him for the plant? Ah like doin' that, too.

[Really, Nephenee? That's what you focus on about the cat?]

Ah'd love to learn both o'em. Ah'll jus' need to be more careful with the shootin'.

[Let's not shoot her friend in the foot...]

Actually, they are vilekin that are rather loud at times.

[Because cat is loud too.]

Worry not, I will make sure your arrow flies true.

[And not in feet.]

[...Something about the way he says that makes her heart flutter a little and her cheeks get rosy. She doesn't even understand why! I mean, besides the fact he had a great voice. Rubbing the back of her neck in an effort to not think about that too much, she nods.]

Ah'd...sure appreciate that, Sir Aymeric.

[One thing does strike her as odd, though, and she tilts her head as she regards the camera again.]

...What's a vilekin?

[~~She's getting sick~~]

Oh, they are another name for 'monster' I suppose. But they vary by type and referring them as monster does seem to sit well since they can be tamed.

[Biasts and dragons and wolves as mounts man.]

Zeno will take you shopping! Missy has such a sweet face [Well, from what he can see of it], you'll look adorable in just about anything, but Zeno will help you find the stores and find the pretty things.

[Excuse the vertigo as he waves his arms in excitement, but forgets that he's holding his-- ah, there, now he remembers.]

As for the technology, mm, your guess is as good as Zeno's. Zeno just keeps trying until it looks a little bit right.

[If not for the fact she can spin like a top when she's fighting, that would make her far dizzier than it does. Still, a bit disorienting to see your viewpoint fly all over the place.

This doesn't however, take away from the fact that she's blushing at Zeno's words. A sweet face? Adorable? These aren't words she heard often, and the helmet does nothing to hide the red creeping into her cheeks.]

T-thank ya. That's real nice o'ya to say...A-Ah'm Nephenee. Your name's Zeno, then?

[She's just going to not think about the last time she encountered a cheerful person who spoke in the 3rd person. Devdan still scared her a little!]

[Nice? It's just true... girls don't hear that enough.]

Zeno has always been Zeno, and likely always will be. Might get confusing otherwise.

[Her blushing just makes him chuckle a little bit.]

What do you like to wear? Zeno likes long, long robes made with really soft, snuggly-warm fabric.

I'd be happy to help you with your clothing problem if you'd like. I have a business called Heavenly Couture, and I take custom commissions for a fee.

I don't know much about raising rabbits, but I'll trade you some chickens for one.

Uh, naw thanks. Ah'd like some chickens eventually, but...Ah couldn't trade away one o'my bunnies. They're...like family now? If that makes sense?

[She has very few friends here (because she is a social derp), and they are a few of those friends, sad as that is.]

Ah'd pay ya for a chick or two, though.

...I've never understood people getting that attached to their pets...

[Ah, well.]

What kind of payment we talking here?

[...BRO, are you wanting to eat her bunnies.

No man, this ain't standin'.]

...Ah ran a dairy an' veggie farm back home. We didn't kill the animals for food.

[She'll stop giving him the death glare now, though.]

As for payment...Ah dunno. Whatcha like to eat?

But why else bother raising them, then?

[There is no shame here. None at all.]

And I eat meat, mostly. Protein. That sort of thing.

I wouldn't mind pickin' up exercisin' with you again!

And I can't help ya much with clothes, but I've raised Pokemon before. Rabbits can't be too different! They haven't started spittin' lightning or anythin', have they?

[...Give her a second, because the first part begs questions, but that bit about lighting spitting rabbits...]

Um...Naw, they ain't spittin' lightnin'...why would they be? Your world got sparky bunnies?

[That's how you use 'spark', right? Right??

Words are hard.]

Usually they either do that or punch stuff!

...Did...ya jus' say there's punchin' bunnies?

[How does that even work?]

Sure, out in Sinnoh! They're bipedal.

[Because that explains everything]

Bi...petal? They got flowers?

[...No, Neph. We're so sorry Archie.]

Nah, they walk on two legs!

[What a great conversation]

Oh!...Wow, Ah wonder if there's any 'round here...are they jus' called bunnies, or do they got another name?

[Cause your shark is named something else, just saying]

Buneary. They live in a region up north, but I've seen 'em in person once or twice. They're popular as pets, but they can get real damn tough!
