003 [Video]

[For those familiar with Clinic, it can be recognized to be the backdrop for this broadcast; it's also probably easy enough to guess that Lance has just arrived there, because he's obviously drenched. It doesn't seem to bother him any, though, except for that his slightly ridiculous hair is now definitely long enough to fall into his eyes when wet, so he has to shove some of it out of the way before he can actually see the screen.

Despite being soaked he looks a little more vibrant and relaxed than usual, although in contrast his tone is quiet and sedate for the most part.]

Is the 'raining underground' thing strange even for here, or...?

[Because he hasn't been here that long and he's heard that it's snowed before, so maybe not? But the rain is totally not the point of this post, so he continues.]

But rain aside, I'd actually wanted to ask about the caves that branch off from the main cavern. I know they're supposedly difficult to navigate and filled with monsters, but have there been any coordinated efforts to explore them? And what sort of monsters exist in them?

[He does remember Maketh telling them there are paper records on some of the monsters at the Guard post, but as far as he's concerned that's really not too helpful. Besides, he'd rather hear that the general populace has to say, and talk to them individually on this.]

Have you ever wondered who 'they' are?

Old people, I presume. Maybe a few mothers.

[Sounds like the right combo for most of the sayings.]

I have a confession to make, Lance.

I am 'they'

Or rather I am the CURRENT 'they'. There are new elections every decade.

[Okay, that wasn't exactly unexpected but it's still funny, and he might be laughing to himself a little bit about it.]

Then you really need to come up with some better sayings if you want to stay in office.

Why would I want to stay in office? Its a thankless job. You are living proof that no one ever listens to 'they'.

Thankfully its limited to one term.

Maybe you could turn the reputation of 'they' around, though. People might listen to advice that's actually good.

[Because advice from 'they' is never good, honestly.]

Lance.

Are you telling me how to do my job?

:C

[He literally just learned how to do this. Be honored you get his first emoji]

[Rosen are you serious. Lance isn't even sure what to say to that for a moment; he's so amazed and confused all at once.]

Considering your newly-demonstrated emoticon prowess, I would never dream of telling you how to do your job.

I am not entirely unaware of 'chatspeak'

[Thats what you call it, right?]

[Something like that.]

Does this mean I can break out the acronyms?

You are free to do so so long as I am free to make up my own meanings for them.

However I already know a few:

LOL: Look Out Lance
LMAO: Lance Must Always Object
ROFL: Really Obvious For Lance

[It's a good thing this is text so the look of horror that shows on his face as he reads this isn't visible to anyone.]

Okay nevermind.

[Why do so many acronyms have to have an L in them?]

Oh? Suddenly not so interested in outsmarting the old man?

I'm not going to answer that because I'm a nice person.

[Or something.]

I'd call that a cop out.

I call it not wanting to be responsible for you having a heart attack from distress.

Whether you like it or not that is a game you are already winning.

Then I definitely shouldn't purposefully add to it.

[Also stop stressing about him he's f i n e.]

[Never.]

Thank you for your concern but I hope you didn't think you were getting rid of me that easily.

[However he's actually oddly touched. Even in jest no one has really ever expressed a concern for his wellbeing in that way before. He'll try not to read too much into it, after all it is only a joke and he knows he does push Lance's buttons.]

I'd hope not, even with your fascination with making my hair even more difficult to deal with than it normally is.

[Though that actually makes him realize something, and he switches the connection over to private.]

That reminds me, I have my notes compiled for you.

[Enjoy his very helpful commentary on the citizens of Hadriel, Rosen.]

What? Are you telling me you'd miss me if I disappeared? :P

[He's pretty sure he's seen Nina use that emoticon before]

[He then turns his attention to the notes Lance has sent, interest piqued. However he is stuck by full bellied laughter when he stumbles upon his own special section. Lee falls back in his amusement, now flopped fully across the couch his a hand over his face until he can get himself together.

He then types]

It wasn't a bun. It was a ponytail.
