♉ 008 [ >Tavros: Forever abscond. | video ]

[clapifyoubullieve]

[The video opens up on what some might recognize as Tavros' respiteblock, otherwise known as a troll's bedroom. Everything within it--including the cards, stuffed animals, and odd-looking balls strewn about--is tinted in orange-brown, similar to the color of Tavros' font.

The camera angle affords a view of the floor. There doesn't appear to be any sign of the troll, and it stays that way for some time. Anyone who cares to watch long enough, though, will eventually be treated to the vision of Tavros gliding into frame from behind wherever the camera is located.

That's right. Gliding. Or flying, if you prefer!

He lands in the middle of the floor, back to the camera, wearing a gold, pyjama-like outfit that should be recognizable to most trolls. After a moment, he sits on the floor and drags his apparently fully-functional legs to his chest, rests his head on his knees, and sighs.]

Then what's it like?

Well, um, when I go to sleep--you know, in real life--I wake up on Prospit's moon, which... I don't know, I think it's a real moon inside the medium, but we haven't physically been there, yet? I'm not sure how it works, really, but when I'm here, I can remember things I was doing when I was awake, but... well, it's a funner atmosphere, and so... it's nice, to get away for a while, because the mood is lighter and not serious.

I like it here.

Hm. Strange.

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

Yeah. I guess maybe it is, a little bit.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

It's a function of the game, I'm guessing?

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

[nods] Yeah, definitely. Oh, except that... I think Kanaya and Jade woke up on Prospit before any of us had ever heard of the game, but. I don't know why that is.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

How could they go in the game before you'd started playing it?

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

I don't know. I don't think they know, either, really.

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

...or knew, I guess.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Well, Kanaya came back. That's apparently a trend with you.

Did Jade die too, then?

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

[this comes as a surprise to him, as he'd closed his husktop before watching the rest of the video]

...She what? And, uh, no, she didn't, but-- what?

[video]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She became a vampire, actually.

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

A what? --No, uh, I guess that doesn't matter, but, oh my god, she's okay? Like really, truly okay?

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Apparently. I'm starting to get the impression that it's impossible to truly kill you all.

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

Uh, well, I can tell you that that's definitely not the case, usually, but... Oh my god, wow, I really hope this just isn't part of my dream, or anything weird like that, and that this is a thing that's actually happening, because I'm really happy right now.

What about Feferi?

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Given your track record she's probably fine too.

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

I hope so. I really, really hope so.

Oh, gosh, I have to wake up so I can troll Kanaya! Uh, I hope you don't mind if I leave right now, or anything? I'm just, wow, really excited.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I don't mind.

[video]

[clapifyoubullieve]

Okay. Oh, and, uh, thank you for telling me that she's okay, even though it sounded like you thought I already knew that, but-- well, still.

Anyway, um. Bye, I guess.

You're welcome. Goodbye.
