video, at the end of october

[friendlyflower]

[A weird, half-dead sunflower seed with dilated eyes and sweat rolling down its shell appears, shouting at you from the clinic.]

THE VOTE IS CLOSE!!!!!!! VOTE FOR UMBREON NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[He grabs the Grumpearl with a vine.]

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT VOTING FOR LURANTIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nurse Chansey from the clinic visibly tries to wrestle the Grumpearl away from him. He shouts various curses that Emporio taught him. You may or may not have a headache now.]

voice;

[consequerer]

You were quite literally rescued, brought back to town and hauled into the clinic, unconscious and in deathly poor condition, by a separate team after you missed a check in.

[ Their tone is so incredibly deadpan that it might as well be Freeze-Dry. ]

If that is what qualifies as a resounding success for you then truly I do wonder at what failure might look like. Clearly, the concept of consequences being permanent here has failed to impress itself upon you.

[friendlyflower]

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[How could Chara do this?]

[consequerer]

Am I wrong?

[ why would Chara do this? ]

you think you are above consequences.

[friendlyflower]

Somehow I don't think you were this strict with Frisk.

[... Were they?]

[consequerer]

Wow! You are supergood at being wrong.

[ That said, being more than a voice in someone's head probably does lend them a bit more presence and a different kind of weight to the kind of running commentary they might have kept up with Frisk.

Now, whenever they judge someone for taking too many candies out of the bowl, other people hear it! ]

[friendlyflower]

Gee, that means you aren't unusually annoying towards me. You're just annoying! [His tone is teasing. Seems like he feels a bit... better???]

[consequerer]

What an astoundingly cutting comeback. Truly, I am slain by the sharpness of your wit.

[friendlyflower]

Urah ha ha... I can feel it. Every time you die, your grip on this world slips away.

[Complete with the pose- vines out to the side like arms- and a wink. They DID invoke the Absolute God of Hyperdeath...]

[consequerer]

... "Your life will end here, in a world where no one remembers you"?

[ That is how it goes, is it not? It's funny, really. It's really funny here, actually. ]

Yet I will again and again return, so long as there are still those who will speak the True Name.

[friendlyflower]

Hee hee! And you call me edgy. [If one of them is a God, the other has to be a Demon.]

[consequerer]

I think it is simply a matter of presentation. Impressions do matter, after all.

[ They may be edgy, but Flowey's the edgelord. There's nuance to these things!

Said they who modeled their edgy deviantart oc off of any number of extremely polite and proper demons, but hey. ]

1/2

[friendlyflower]

You're right, impressions are everything! [They saw him try to teach Frisk how things work around here, after all... and they got to see both of his awesome final boss forms.]

What can I say? I love an entrance. And your style has always been more...

2/2

[friendlyflower]

Greetings.
I am the demon that comes when people call its name.

[... This is accompanied by his very best Chara voice.]

[consequerer]

8/10.

[ Too much intentional menace, not enough would-be disarming (and therefore uncannily unsettling) =) . ]

[friendlyflower]

... Hey, what do you mean "8/10"?! [Oh, well. He can't help but add edginess/menace to his impression.]

[consequerer]

7/10.

[ Yeah now they're just fucking with him.

But also! It's about the juxtaposition of a '''harmless''' appearance and the unrelenting sense of dread you are trying to inflict on someone!

But yes, he's always been more for the outright menace and presence of it all. As he said, he does love an entrance. ]

[friendlyflower]

WHAT?!

[Okay, that was pretty funny. He plays the part with (mostly) mock outrage.

... This is nice, he supposes. Like the old days or something.]

[truthdecided]

...So that's what happened.

[Akechi heaves a heavy sigh. Flowey. Flowey, why?]

Let me guess. Icefall Lake?

[consequerer]

Snow, ice, freezing water, subzero conditions, and plants do not mix. You do not need to be a skilled gardener to know that.

It is especially foolish to be heading out there at this point unless one is particularly suited and more than simply 'adequately prepared,' given that conditions now are worse than when it was first explored, and only set to worsen. Foolish overconfidence is not becoming on anyone.

[ Hence: taking the wind out of Flowey's sails. ]

[truthdecided]

Birds don't fare particularly well in the cold, either. That's why my group took extreme caution, particularly in light of an unruly team member.

[He grumbles under his breath.]

If one is to explore the region, they need to dress accordingly, have team members to compensate for their weaknesses, and an escape plan if it gets out of hand.

[consequerer]

Poor little bird, grounded by the hailstorms and blizzards out there.

[ Singsong and crooning. Really, why would he go out to such a place when it means he would be all but useless, a liability to the group at best? ]

[truthdecided]

I had Safety Goggles to protect me from the hail, and we brought Agnes-san to accommodate for the cold.

[He draws a breath, holding it for a moment.]

But, I was also assigned to keep Kaiba-san out of trouble. It was not my first choice, but we made do.

[consequerer]

Because goggles will protect the rest of your body, and not just your eyes. [ Maybe he is small enough that it acts as protective armor instead? What an interesting mental image. ] To my knowledge, small birds will try to avoid even rainstorms, let alone the kind of weather one would find in Icefall. As for fire-types ... Well.

Guilmon, too, was a fire type. A frozen lake is still a lake beneath.

[ Rip to them. ]

[truthdecided]

Safety Goggles are... strange. For some inexplicable reason, they prevent hail damage in its entirety as well as protecting from sandstorm damage and powder moves.

[He shrugs. Really, it's not the strangest thing he's experienced h ere.]

Fortunately, we explored the crevasses rather than the lake. By all accounts, Agnes-san's fire and Drought ability served their purpose despite the difficulties.

[consequerer]

Fascinating that simple eyewear alone will protect you from broken bones. The rest of it follows logical sense. That part does not. It does not protect you from Powder Snow or Icy Wind, yes? By all means they would be more minor in my estimation than say, a softball-sized hailstone.

[ Nevermind the kind of hail that breaks windows and glass. Now, can they determine where that line falls, if he speaks truth? It sounds like an interesting little experiment.

(Frankly, they think a little that he's just trying to save face after also having admitted to heading out somewhere unwisely and getting lucky, but they will not say that.)

Musingly: ]

Perhaps we might all wear goggles the next time we are set to face rock slides. But the ice ... I see.

I have heard there are hidden pitfalls there, as well as ice upon which there is little purchase. [ Sliding ice puzzles where the penalty for getting things wrong is falling to who knows where, rather than simply just messing up the pattern of xes and os... ] I suppose you were warned to bring rope? Or were you merely given directions, and set loose after?
