( oz has spent some time practicing, so when the video feed comes on, it's steady and propped up to give a good view of him in the living room of his apartment. he shoots the camera a grin before holding up a helmet that may seem familiar to some people. )

Hello, everyone! You won't believe what I found today. ( a meow can be heard off-screen, and he corrects himself - ) Or more correctly, Li Jun did. Something like this must belong to someone, right?

( he hefts it up closer to the camera so that viewers on the network can get a better view. it's probably clear he basically thinks it's one of the coolest things ever. a real helmet like what a real knight would have!! maybe even what one of his favorite fictional knights would wear while doing something gallant.

it would probably be rude to put it on his head. which is what he does a moment later, cheerfully, because look okay how many chances like this does one get!! the network gets a wave before he takes it off and adds, )

Well, if it someone's, I wouldn't want to keep it from you. So tell me if it's yours, alright?

It was taken.

[maddeninghatter]

Well, you know - there are thieves here.

Someone should have given you a head's up about that.

voice;

[alphonse]

[Terrible.]

Are you done?

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

[ Not even close. ]

But what I don't understand is - if he's got your head, why then--

How do you smell?

voice;

[alphonse]

Of course I meant to say helmet! Seeing it on the network like that just distracted me!

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

No, no, no! You're supposed to say - terrible!

voice;

[alphonse]

I think that would describe your sense of humor.

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

Now, now - don't get upset. Or, rather, don't get upset with me. Save your indignation for the perpetrator who purloined your property--

And is presently using it to chat up the ladies.

[ Your conversation with Sheryl Nome, Oz, honestly! ]

voice;

[alphonse]

I plan on it! But you don't need to--

[Wait, wait, wait. That is clearly the most unfair thing ever.]

What an awful way to impress a girl!

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

He's obsessed with knights...

[ fortunately this is all voice and no one can see the wry look he's making.

quickly: ]

Which begs the question - how do yooooooooou come by a helmet like that? You're a little kid, right?

voice;

[alphonse]

A kid from an entirely different world. Armor's pretty common there.

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

Kid-sized armor?

[ How sad. ]

voice;

[alphonse]

Not so much in my case. I'm a lot taller than the average kid.

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

Ah - so you're a girl? With a voice like that, you know, and if you're tall, you must be! ♥

voice;

[alphonse]

There's nothing wrong with my voice! If you're going to insult me, at least pick something that makes sense!

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves!

[ it never ends ]

If you show me what you look like [ totally academic in his case but ] I'm sure I'll have more to make fun of! ♥

voice;

[alphonse]

I can't decide if that's more sad or lazy. Really, Mister-- [And then he notices. SUDDENLY SUSPICIOUS.] Your name is Xerxes?

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

[ Eh? ]

...people call me "Break."

voice;

[alphonse]

People from the same world as you?

voice;

[maddeninghatter]

People who know me.

Why this interest, all of a sudden? Ahahha, I'm flattered~!

voice;

[alphonse]

Hm. It's not very often I hear a name like that.

[velveteened]

( REALLY )

[maddeninghatter]

[ Ingrate

And here Break has always been working to help you, Oz. To get ahead in life. ]

[velveteened]

( well maybe if break hadn't lost his head trying to be witty! )

[maddeninghatter]

[ Insert Glen Baskerville joke here ]
