Hello, everyone. With everything that's happened, I hope everyone is okay, or at least managing with their powers. If you didn't hear it before, Ventus got an idea to pool some money together to help rebuilding the Pokemon Centers. If you'd be willing to help, it'd be appreciated.

[ There's a pause, as though Xion thinks she should mention it, then... ]

Also--

Xion~!

[SUDDENLY A LANCER HIJACK. As if he doesn't even notice she's recording, he starts going off talking like the loudmouth he is.]

Hey, how you doin'? I've got somethin' you have to check out--I can breathe fire. Did you get anythin' interesting like that?

L-Lancer? I, uh... [ More pausing, and the sounds of her pulling up her zipper tighter around her hood... but the horns are even more pronounced to form an odd shape for the hood to go over. ] It's just... electricity. You seem to be doing fine, though.

You know me, kid, I'm always doin' fine.

[Don't mind the slight rustling as he sits right on next to her trying to get a look under that hood.]

Hey, what're you hidin' from? C'mon, there's no way it got you lookin' as screwed up as me.

[ There's a moment where Xion moves to make more space on her spot for him. ] But Lancer... you don't look that odd at all, really! I mean... Your hair's got more... variety? [ Have a small giggle. And yup. She totally just avoided answer his question. Sorry, man. ]

Wish I could say it was the first I had claws and all the sharp pointy shit, but it's not. Least I know I've looked a hell of a lot worse.

C'mon, lemme see what you look like. I'm not gonna laugh, promise.

[ . . . Xion sighs. ] Okay, fine. [ Zip! And off goes the hood to reveal a pair of small horns sticking out the side of her head. Bits of electricity flow out once the hood is removed and can be heard. ]

...Okay, y'know what?

[True to his word, Lancer's not laughing--actually, he sounds impressed.]

That's pretty damn cool.

Your really think so? [ And Xion sounds honestly surprised... and relieved. She'd been nervous about them before, but... She scratches the back of her head. ] Thanks, Lancer. They'd be... well, I'd like them a bit more if they didn't hurt my head every so often, but I can manage.

Well, y'know what you need?

[Oh no. Oh no, that's his 'I have an idea' voice.]

C'mon. We're gonna go have some fun.

We are? Where're we going? [ And this is Xion's 'I fully trust you and also I am very curious' voice. ]

Oh, don't worry. You'll see pretty soon.

[AWAY WE GO ON ADVENTURES~]

[ And that ends the feed. People might wonder. People might have called. Chances are, neither of them answer for a while. Maybe an hour and half passes and the Gear snaps back on, but with a video feature. A Hydreigon's face is briefly seen before turning the feed to the two adventurers--

... were those bottles and shot glasses? And some of the drinks, which haven't been dunked yet, were on fire. Hell, if it isn't for those bits of evidence, it's the way they look, especially Xion, who suddenly pumps out her fist and actually shouts: ]

Lanceeeer! Make mine go boom!

Sure, sure, I can do that.

[Laughing, the fanged and clawed Lancer with three-toned hair blew a small flame that set Xion's shot on fire much like the one Lancer himself was holding.]

Thank... Thank you, Lancer! Now let's... uh, drink and have fun and s-- stuff.

[ Somehow, just somehow, they clink their glasses before going to town. After which Xion laughs a bit too much that electricity flows around them and the Gear will now short circuit. ]

[ ooc: am I kicked out yet? Font for Lancer. Both will answer when able! ]

................................LANCER.

[Well, Lancer and Xion might have felt that something just dropped the temperature by a few degrees. BUT YEAH SOMEONE'S NOT REALLY AMUSED HERE.]

[paladinlost]

[He was going to offer some of his funds, before that interruption.

But now...]

That is not a safe and responsible use of your powers!

[...But keep on drinking, kiddos!]

[robbedsanity]

...Is it a wise idea to let a young child drink?

[Answer: No.]

[Now during this power trouble plot, her hair's turned white, so she's been reluctant to show herself. But seeing Lancer take her not-daughter drinking and abusing powers? Mama Minnie.

Is.

PISSED.]

Lancer, is that his name?

[She smiles ever so sweetly.]

May we have a word in private, Mister Lancer?

[video]

[soggypastry]

[First reaction: Okay, Xion's got horns. No big, right. Right. Second reaction, once the feed returns: ....she is going to murder someone. Someone who's name begins with L. And ends with R.]

What the hell are you two doing?

[It's more of a hiss than anything, and yes, those are sparks and tiny little bolts of electricity popping around Lightning. So much for control...]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

How are you making the water burn!? [Because what is alcohol?]

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[He has no clue who the other voice is, but that first one is definitely that brat who kept using him as a tackling dummy.]

So your name is Xion? I should thank your friend, whoever he is, for handing over that valuable piece of information!

[islandshore]

[See one: angry, silver-haired seventeen year old with fangs, horns, red eyes, and lots of red skin blotches. He is not amused.

Not even slightly.]

You can't be serious!

[It's not directed at Xion, but. Oh. The rage.]

[ex_cashcow493]

Lancer. Xion.

[ Is that fire in her eyes? It just may as well be. ]
