003 [Video]

[thechoiceisyours]

[The video feed turns on to show what is probably a strange pair of people to be making a post together. It's also a really, really important post about an incredibly important subject.

Chris offers a small grin and a wave at the camera.]

Okay, so, I feel like I should say that I'm not announcing anything horrible about monsters this time. Just... Making that clear upfront.

[Is everyone relieved? Good.]

Instead, Cashmere and I are taking a super important poll.

[He glances toward Cashmere, waiting to see if she wants to continue from here.]

Very important. [ She agrees and pauses for a moment, fixing her hair in the camera. ]

I'm sure you’ve all noticed Chris and I have something special in common. So we need to know who else out there shares our special quality. Are you blonde?

[ Yes, she is serious. ]

We're here to make sure those of us who are blonde are having the most fun. If you're not having fun, we’ll think of a way to fix that.

[ She glances to Chris. Ideas?

Chris looks over at her in response, then fixes the video with a serious expression.]

Yeah. And if you are having fun, could you like... Tell us your secrets? Because that'd be pretty awesome.

[That covers the totally important stuff, he thinks. Any last remarks, Cashmere?]

Non-blondes need not reply. [ That should win some friends. ]

what??? :O

[smited]

It's shocking, I know.

[64th]

Oh well maybe you can help me then, that was my only idea

[smited]

With suggestions or finding out who is having the most fun? The answer to the latter question is likely 'the gods.'

[64th]

I guess I could have some fun trying to prevent the gods from having fun

[smited]

That sounds to me like a wonderful idea.

[64th]

I know.

It's the how that I still need to figure out.

[smited]

It's a shame we don't have any sappers here. That would make things easier.

[64th]

What's a sapper?

[smited]

A combat engineer--someone who can help bring down large, fortified fortresses.

[64th]

Yeah I guess that would be useful. You don't do anything like that?

[smited]

No, that was never my focus. I was a templar.

[64th]

What's a templar?

[smited]

Common folk tend to refer to us as "mage hunters" but that's not all we do. We're soldiers--knights trained to combat magic and guard against its dangers.

[64th]

Is all magic bad?

[smited]

All magic is dangerous.

[ which is not quite the same thing, but. ]

[64th]

That sounds like something people who don't have magic and wish they did would say.

[smited]

Mages have an innate connection to the Fade--the world of demons and dreams--that others don't. Demons will tempt them and try to possess them. I have seen it happen.

[64th]

Do you think there are demons here?

[smited]

Yes.

[ between the gods and all the other crap hadriel has thrown at them, how can there not be?? ]

[64th]

Hm.

Okay. I'll tell you if I see anything strange.

[smited]

Thank you.
