[Accidental Video]

[The first thing to be recorded is Seto falling down on his butt in the snow. His face and hair now covered in snow, as if snowball at hit him square in the face. Which... one did actually. He hadn't seen it coming. He blinks once, then twice, then brushes the cold snow off his already pink cheeks, giving someone that can't be seen, a pout.]

What was that for??

[And then another voice in the background replies] Ah... That's just how ya play the game. Sorry, Seto!

...Oh... [Totally unsure of what game this is, Seto decides to go ahead and give it a try himself. Mimicking what he saw Firo do, he gathers up some of the snow into a ball then hurls it at his target. Luckily it hits right on]

H--Hey! [Firo pauses for a moment, then laughs] ...Good job.

[Seto just grins then stands up, reaching down to pick up the journal] What's that game call-- [The feed cuts off as he shuts it]

[Action]

[ Anyone about town may spot two Luceti residents taking full advantage of the winter wonderland. Seto and Firo can be found racing through the snow and happily pelting each other with snowballs or pooling their efforts to make a snowman that's only slightly lopsided.

It's such fun that Firo's too distracted to try for a pretense of maturity and Seto has overcome his worry about the snow. Though perhaps the loss of fear due to the many layers of winter clothes he's swaddled in, which make Seto bear some resemblance to a marchmallow. The snow splatters on their clothes show that they've been at this for a while.

Stop by and join the fun? Or perhaps get caught in the crossfire? ]

(ooc: Blue is Seto, green is Firo. Action threads will be 3-person threads, the order will be You -> Seto -> Firo! If you decide to reply by video/voice/written, those replies will come only from Seto. )

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well being in Luceti for a while isn't so bad, Firo.

[The main reason he's saying that is because he actually has friends here and he would rather stay here for as long as possible]

[ But Firo's got things to do back home! He refrains from mentioning that; it would just be cruel to remind Seto of what he was missing in his world.

He looks from one of them to the other. ] ]

Don't all those experiments get annoyin'?

Oh, no. The experiments aren't annoying. They're fun!

[Grune has an interesting idea of what's fun.]

S-Some of them are at least.

[Laughing sheepishly]

Fun..?

[ Call him crazy, but he doesn't find all the strange compulsions and falling moons and explosions to be that enjoyable. He glances between the two of them, looking incredibly confused. ]

Yes, that's right. Like the fairytales!

[Those were a lot of fun!]

Yeah! That one was fun.

[He got to eat a lot of honey, and it was pretty yummy actually]

I guess that one was...

[ And he doesn't want to mention the moon one, so Firo will just fall silent, still looking a little puzzled. ]

[Don't worry, Firo. Being confused is normal when you hang around Grune.

And, in not too long:] Oh, here we are!

[It's that house with the massive garden! Except the garden is currently covered in snow, so it might be hard to tell that there isn't exactly much of a front yard left anymore. Or a backyard.]

[Once they get to the house, Seto kinda stares at it for a moment, just examining ever little bit of it. He's never been to Grune's house before! So with a big ol' grin, he looks up at Grune]

You have a very pretty house!

[ It's good to have a distraction from his hopeless confusion. Firo studies the house, trying to recall if he's seen it before. Smiling, he nods and repeats Seto's compliment. ]

It does look nice.

Thank you! [She heads up the nice, clear front walk (thank you, Walter!) to open the front door.]

I'm very happy to live here with everyone.

[Seto sheepishly follows, kind of excited to see what the inside of her house looks like.]

Who do you live with, Grune?

[ Firo listens closely, curious about Seto's query too. Before, he thought living with people from other worlds- unknown before Luceti- was just strange and possibly dangerous. Now he's in no position to talk. ]

I live with Fenimore and Norma and Walter and Sophie!

[And the kitchen is just right across the living room.... Right next door is Grune's room, for the curious.]

Oh! I remember you mentioning them to me once before.

[Seto's just looking all around really, so Grune's room is one room he peeks into... but just for a second since he doesn't want to be too nosy]

Are they all people you've met here?

[ He looks around, and catches sight of Seto doing the same. Realizing it may be construed as a little rude, he quickly taps Seto's shoulder and looks back at Grune. ]

[Go ahead and look, boys. Grune certainly isn't going to mind--in fact, she'll give you a tour if you want.]

Oh, no. They're all my friends from the Legacy. ...Well, except for Sophie. She's always lived here.

[Seto jumps when his shoulder his tapped but quickly turns his attention back to Grune, flustering a little. He was just curious! No harm done...]

What's 'the Legacy'?

[ "Always?" Firo's aware of the people not from other worlds, but he never thought they'd live with the other captives. Unless this Sophie is something else entirely. He's going to hold on to that question until Seto's is answered, but his confusion is evident on his face. ]

Oh, the Legacy is where we all live. [Grune is the best at explanations.

And now to get some of those groceries into the "electric icebox." One odd point about this kitchen? It has a woodstove instead of an electric one. Grune lives with Luddites.]

Oh! What's it like there?

[The wooden stove doesn't seem to be all that odd to Seto since he had one himself back in the Observatory he and his grandfather lived in]

Sounds like a funny name for a country.

[ Despite just trying to dissuade Seto from it, Firo glances around the room and stares at the stove for a little. ]

Oh, no, the Legacy isn't a country. It's a ship.

Everyone is very happy to live there, and they all work hard together. It's a beautiful place, with lots of flowers and rivers and forests and mountains. [No, seriously.]

[Big smile!] Maybe someday, we can all go there together!

A ship that has flowers, rivers, forests and mountains... ? [That's just--you have blown his mind]

I-I never knew a ship like that ever existed!
