Video :: 09

[The video flicks on and Ashura's gotten a little better at handling the mirror!Dreamberry by now and it isn't as awkward. He's grinning brightly at everyone.]

I think I like this time of year. Everyone is talking about the people they care about and though the winged babies keep shooting people, at least none of it hurts and they're kind of playing a game, I think!

But what Ashura doesn't understand is what these funny marks some people have are. [And Ashura sets the Dreamberry down and backs up to show off the large target on his person.]

Does it mean something? [He blinks and returns to the Dreamberry and leans in closer to the feed, curious.] Can someone tell me? I kind of like mine. It makes me feel warm inside.

[When Ashura turns and reveals what appears to be a bullseye over his back, he is reminded of a couple of videod seen on the network involving the very same sort of target.] ...Mn. [A grave, contemplative frown. While he would guess this has something to do with the cherubs circling the skies like vultures, he had become a target of their arrows, curiously enough, even though there was no such mark over his own back.]

I am afraid I do not have an answer. However, if this is as most things tend to be in Somarium, it will disappear within a week; you may or may not receive an explanation then.

[Blink. Blink blink.]

... Goemon did you get big? Is that you?

[Stare.]

[For a split second, he blinks blankly before readopting a look of cool composure and offering an explanation. The confusion clouding Ashura's expression suggests to Goemon that he is likely unfamiliar with some of Somarium's trickery.]

When we last spoke, I was affected by one of the cards that that exist within Somarium. They are capable of inflicting a variety of strange and undesired effects on one's body and mind.

Oh a card! That makes sense. Fay was a girl because of one of those. [Laughs brightly.]

Ashura just thought you were new, heh. [He rubs his neck sheepishly.] One of my other friends was a little kid again too for a while, but she's back to normal too. I'm glad you said something because Ashura wouldn't have recognized you!

[Goemon expression sobered further and he nodded before speaking again after a brief, thoughtful pause.] ...Thank you for your help.

[For he had not done so properly as a child, and he felt this short-and-sweet, acknowledging remark was due.]

Of course! Goemon needed help and he's a friend now. I'm glad I could help.
