o1. video / optional action

[Today, two unforgivable errors were made: the first, he let Rosette use the kitchen.

The second: He let Rosette use the kitchen.

When the feed blinks to life, the serenity of the figure facing the camera is directly at odds with the thunderous cacophony in the background. Chrono just smiles blandly at his unseen audience as a terrible burst of sparks makes itself visible in—is his back to the apartment's kitchen?]


I just had a quick question. [He might as well dive right into it, as a crash echoes around the apartment. He doesn't even flinch.] Does anyone here know how to repair electronics? A microwave, specifically? I think apartment number 304 could use your services.

[It's here that Rosette comes into view, hurdling around the corner as smoke billows in her wake; if Chrono were actually looking, he might think it seems appropriate for Rosette's definition of an entrance. It's unclear whether she's addressing Chrono or the tablet (even realizes he's talking to the tablet) when she bellows FIRE! THAT'S A FIRE! It's very likely the former based on how the serenity of Chrono's smile twitches into something that speaks silent danger for someone.]

Quickly, if it isn't too much trouble? [The feed doesn't cut off; evidently, his quiet fury is such that he completely forgets to turn off the tablet before hurling it across the room to go perform some manner of intervention.

It lands facing a ceiling that is growing increasingly smokey.]




action.

[Anyone who actually approaches apartment #304 will find an impressive cloud of black smoke billowing out of the open door that smells distinctly of burnt electronics and scorched metal. Rosette's voice will make itself known second, shouting about how the kitchen is out to get her and this isn't her fault.

If one actually ventures into the abyss (which speaks volumes toward a capacity for bad decisions, by the way), they'll find a frantic teenage girl and a long-suffering little kid trying to determine the best way to put out an impressive electrical fire.]

I have my doubts about that being future-related. It seems like a- special ability of some sort.

He says he's a dragon slayer... So I guess that's what you do with fire eating.

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-01 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think dragon-slaying is connected to fire-eating either. At least, not in my world, anyway...

[ Flynn is actually imagining this. ]
soul_sister: (A little to the right. Yeah by the couch)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-01 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
We don't have dragons at all. But you have to admit, it's gotta be a perk for the job.
srslynotguy: (♣♣  skit • happy)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-01 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
If I had the power to eat fires, however. I think I would rather use it to serve the populace instead of exterminating dragons. Provided those dragons didn't come close to human settlements...
soul_sister: (Thoughful regard)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-01 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't that what dragons do though? Burn things, carry off beautiful maidens...
srslynotguy: (♣♣ smug captain)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-03 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
In fiction, maybe.
soul_sister: (That's because I was there)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-07 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't ruin the magic.
srslynotguy: (♣♣  skit • happy)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-09 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure some of them do burn things. But carrying off beautiful maidens might be a bit far-fetched...
soul_sister: (I don't wannnnnaaaaaa)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-09 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that's true. Haaa, nothing is exactly like I've read anyway. No gallant knights, no switches and levers... the future oven doesn't even work.

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-10 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a knight...
soul_sister: (Fluster)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-13 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
.... Really? No wonder you know about fighting dragons...
srslynotguy: (♣♣  skit • happy)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-14 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ What was that Rosette? What are you mumbling about?! ]

Yes. Back in my world, I'm a member of the Imperial Knights.
soul_sister: (Listening)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-14 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[JUST PRECONCEIVED FANTASY BOOK BASED NOTIONS. Carry on, nothing to see here.]

... What's it like?
srslynotguy: (♣♣  huh what?)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Being a knight?

[ He imagines being a knight is... normal? Clarify, Miss Rosette! ]
soul_sister: (What if I just hit it a lot?)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-14 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I mean, is it glamorous or just really boring? Do you do a lot of jousting and rescuing? Do you know how to ride a horse? Have a devoted best friend who's super skilled but a commoner, that sort of thing?
srslynotguy: (♣♣ skit • I only laugh like this in batt)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-14 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. That. Flynn laughs. ]

I don't think it's particularly glamorous. Our duty is to protect people and... I suppose that's fulfilling.

I can and do ride mounts [ but they're not quite horses... ] and ... I guess you can say Yuri counts as the "super skilled bestfriend" who's a commoner. He used to be a knight himself, though.
soul_sister: (Repeat that)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-14 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That DOES sound kind of amazing, though. It could be right out of a-




wait.


Yuri? "Yuri Lowell?"
srslynotguy: (♣♣ smug captain)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-14 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That'd be him. Have the two of you met before?
srslynotguy: (♣♣ commander flynn is a derp)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-14 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What did Yuri do?

[ This time. Why is he not surprised? Yuri just keeps on making people dislike him :x ]
soul_sister: (Untrue. Totally untrue)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-14 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
He was laughing during this time of crisis!
srslynotguy: (♣♣ excuse me what?)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-14 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ Flynn sighs and shakes his head. That- ]

I extend my apologies on behalf of my friend. Did he offer his help, at least? After laughing, I mean.
soul_sister: (That's stupid.)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-15 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
We'd gotten it out. [It doesn't keep her from huffing just a bit.]

... Maybe he'll be better next time.
srslynotguy: (♣♣ juuust as planned)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-09-15 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Flynn's inner monologue: I doubt that. ]

What did you get out?
