008 [Video]

[Chris smiles and gives a small wave at the camera when the feed starts, then turns his hand to show Hope's blessing on the back of it.]

So uh, who else got one? And are they all from Hope, or...?

[This is so cool you guys he wants to see who else got what. And for something else slightly less important by still cool--]

Oh, also, my iPhone was up and working for a bit thanks to Pell, and I managed to get some music off it. I'll share on the condition no one makes fun of my taste.

[The last comment is a joke--he's really not going to be too hurt by jabs about his choice in music--but the offer is serious, and attached is a download of the music he's copied off so far. It's kind of a slow process, so there's still more on the phone that he can transfer later.]

What the hell is that? [ Because he's never actually seen someone with a blessing before and stuff.

And all he got was just random goodies. Want some nail polish? ]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Hey Kanda.]

It's Hope's god blessing, so basically it gives you badass super powers.

[He's so hype you have no idea. Also he'd totally take nail polish because he's pretty sure both Ash and Em would appreciate it.]

[Emily briefly cconsiders telling him in private about Rage's blessing (element of surprise and all of that), but they need badass points, they'd discussed, so she graces the network with a video comment, showing off her guns -- or rather, her right bicep, where Rage's symbol is.

That's it, that's her comment.]

[bekommen]

[Nick's response is delayed, because you better believe she downloaded the music and listened to all of it once through.]

I only know like, two of these songs, but Jesus, Chris, this sounds good.

[thechoiceisyours]

[This is so awesome.]

Well, it's like, official now that we're the coolest people in the house.

[Sorry Ash, Josh, and Hannah.]

voice.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah?

[He's super pleased that she sounds happy.]

I'm really glad my phone even worked when Pell turned it on; I was kind of worried about it.

[So he's extra glad he could get music--and other stuff--off of it at all.]

[beanstalk]

[ Man just look how he goes from curious to skeptical now. ]

I assume they're rather picky.

[ Good because it's hot pink, does he look like a hot pink guy to you 8( ]

[unfollowing]

I mean, I know I've always been the coolest, but I guess this is a really new experience for you.

It'll pass soon, so enjoy it while you can.

[thechoiceisyours]

Picky like how?

[He sees that skepticism. And hey, hot pink would look great on you, Kanda.]

[thechoiceisyours]

That's okay I can only take the fame and glory for so long, so it's for the best.

[beanstalk]

Not like they can all go around giving people their "blessings" as they see fit. Or if they asked. This place would be chaos.

[ Can you blame him though? Also wow excuse you Chris no. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

Oh, yeah. I dunno how it works exactly either; if it takes some of their power to do it then they'd have to be careful about it for that reason too.

[Running out of energy giving people powers is not the best plan.]

[beanstalk]

If it takes their power to give that [ gesture >:( ] to you, then it'll come full circle where they take power from us, from our emotions. [ He thinks. It's logical in his head okay. He's a fighter not a thinker but he tries. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

I guess so, yeah. However it works it's great to have it, though.

[Not just because it's cool but for practical reasons.]

[beanstalk]

What makes it so great?

[ Enlighten him so he can be....more skeptical. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

It's a healing power, but I don't know a huge amount about how it works.

[He will be asking, though! He intends to use it to the best extent he can.]

[knifecollecting]

Yours looks cooler than mine. [Jo laughs quietly. She's not going to bother trying to show off Delight's mark. It's kind of hard to see, being yellow and all.]

Thanks for the music. [Most of it isn't her style but she's missed a lot of things, so she appreciates it.]

voice.

[bekommen]

Yeah, man, I miss the shit outta music. You don't know what you got 'til it's gone, right?

[She laughs quietly at her own joke.]

You had all this on your phone, huh? Some kinda space phone from the future?

[beanstalk]

[ Oh.

Well.

Okay that is useful Kanda has to admit. Says the one reckless enough to get hurt sometimes. ]

Do you even know how long it lasts? The blessing.

[thechoiceisyours]

Not really, but I know a few people who've had it I'm planning to ask about it. Gonna ask Hope for some details too.

[Knowing people who've had it is the only reason he has any idea it's a healing power, actually.]

Video

[thechoiceisyours]

[He grins a little at that.]

Oh yeah? Which one did you get?

Yeah, of course, no problem. If I can get my phone up and charged again I'll try and pull more off it in the future too.

voice.

[thechoiceisyours]

Seriously. I could make a huge list at this point, and it'd start with hamburgers.

[And it's only insult to injury that he knows after being vegetarian for something like five months he would probably be really sick if he did get a hamburger. Life sucks.]

Oh yeah, super space phone from the far-off year of 2015. You're from what, 2009 was it? The iPhone came out in '07, though mine's uh... A whole lot more powerful than the one from then. And it's got 64GB of memory on it.

[Since that looked different than the one they received, it couldn't hurt to speak up about it. There could be more that Chara didn't know.]

I have received one as well. It is different than the one you posses and on my left calf.

The music is interesting

[and far, far different than what they know. Not bad, but they'll chalk it up to an experience]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Ooooh, interesting. Chris doesn't know much about the marks other than Hope's.]

Awesome. Do you know which god it's from?

Yeah it's kind of a weird mix of stuff.

[And since the recording process takes a bit of effort he'd tried to get kind of a variety.]

[somuchlove]

I do not know. I've only arrived, you see, and have not met the gods.

[Newbies get all the cool stuff apparently.]

How did you manage to do it?

[They were under the impression from others that Hadriel's technology level hoovered somewhere between bugger and all.]
