[Oh hey look, Zulius is here! And he's looking pretty confused. He waves at the camera as he turns it on.]

Hi! So, you know how that weird guy in the creepy thrift store sometimes just gives you like, bags with stuff in? 'Course you do, it's a great time! You never know if you're gonna get something awesome or like. A bear. Not the fun kind. ANYhoo!! I got my usual bag-o-treats and after getting a second freaking evil notebook, like SERiously can we stop with those now? I'm never gonna steal Evil Notebook! Stop asking me to. [He's getting distracted, he clears his throat.] ANYway, along with that, I also got THIS!!!

[He pulls a baton into the frame. A baton with a gem inside it. Those in the know would recognise it as a Soul Device. Zulius, however, is not in the know, so here he is. Waving it about.]

I mean, I can FOR SURE dance with it, but!!! But!! It also does like...this? [He waves it and a blast of water shoots out of it- the water is glittery.] Also it like, vanishes into my phone??? Does anyone know what the heck this is? It's still WAY too cold for any wet T-Shirt contests so IDK why I have been blessed with this watery baton thing.

[That sure is a French accent on the other end of the line there, Zulius.]

Putting aside the fact that I've no idea what a "wet T-shirt contest" is, that almost certainly looks like magic.

[....Da fuq-]

That's a Soul Device.

[throwmoreswords]

congratulations on your induction to the firefighter color guard squadron. how good are you at marching on tempo?

[ he's got nothin ]

[bebest]

[Zulius knows how to say one French thing, but it's that line from Lady Marmalade- he doesn't actually know what it means, but he can say it. He very almost DOES say it. But he doesn't They are both spared this day.]

Oh my goose, okay so it's when you get dudes in really tight white T-Shirts and you...well, it's kinda self-explanatory really. You know. Wet T-Shirts. You see who has the best-defined abs with the T-Shirt clinging to them.

...I guess some people do it with women too but you'd have to ask someone else about that- that's SOOOOOO not my lane.

[He waggles the wand a little.]

I figured that part out when it vanished into my phone for like, an hour. WEIRD.

[bebest]

[Oh hey, it's Weaboo Batman who's totally Jun. But hey, they have an answer!!]

It's...a Soul Device? Like...the thing inside you or like... the music genre?

[bebest]

Gil, Babe, Darling, you should know I am a goddamn fantastic dancer- I GOT that part. Marching's just like dancing, right? Sure it is. Anyway, if we ever wanna do a new music video for It's Raining Men: Kaisou Edition, we're SET.

[ high goddamn raised eyebrow from your unfriendly neighborhood antiquarian. ]

While I cannot identify that item you recieved--I myself received a strange bracelet whose function I have not yet figured out--I am far more interested in these '...evil' Notebooks?

What do you mean, they are telling you to steal?

[crisantemo]

I'm not too sure... what it is, exactly, but I have something like that too! Let's see, um...

[ Lapis reaches to pull something into frame as well, revealing a chain whip in her hands. ]

I can just pull it out of my phone, though this uses fire instead.

[throwmoreswords]

marching is walking but aggressive, in my experience. you also wear terrible hats and it's funny as long as you aren't the guy with the big shiny horn looking objects.

you're going to pour cold water on all the men and give them hypothermia, based on your own admission. that probably violates some sort of health and safety code.

... then again, actors...

[cockade]

I suppose I see the appeal- and I can also say that it wasn't exactly the focus in Paris in 1792.

[He laughs, though, far too amused.]

It certainly is, though I'm sure you'll find plenty of use for it eventually. That's what I've come to learn with something involving magic, at least.

[bebest]

[Look, he knows, HE KNOWS. It's weird.]

A bracelet, huh? Does it have like, nice jewels on it or anything?

[He raises a finger, vanishing off the screen for a moment before bringing one of his possessed notebooks over, raising it to the screen. It looks like an average ass leatherbound notebook, honestly. ]

Okay, so WATCH this, Boo.

[He'll write into the notebook "where can I get good pizza right now?". Suddenly, words appear under Zulius scrawl: Kidnap a delivery person. Zulius waves his hands at it.]

See?!! See!! It keeps telling me to commit CRImes!!

[bebest]

[Zulius gasps!! He points at his baton, then at the screen at Lapis' whip.]

OMG LAPIS!! We're SAMESIES!!! That's so cool!!! I wonder if it's like- Captain Planet maybe there's a few of us with our own elements and we like COMBINE our powers or something!!

Wip's cool, though. Does Jinwoo like it?

[Zulius, no.]

[bebest]

I mean, I don't think you guys had T-Shirts back then?

[He THINKS??? Probably!!! That doesn't sound like a T-Shirt year.]

Oh yeaaaaah, I've been dealing with magic my whole life- it just got SUPER extra when I came to live here. I've got used to some wiiiiild stuff.

[bebest]

Eh. I think I can make this work for me! I'm gonna have to put a splash of colour in it. I could turn it into a power sashay.

Well, I was thinking of doing it when the weather warmed up...

...

What sort of actors? Because that's an important specification? Because if it's the movie sort I am SO listening.

[crisantemo]

[ His excitement gets her to perk up, and she glances between him and the chain whip in her hands as he points at it. ]

Oh, maybe! I haven't met anyone else who can do this, so that could be it. So we have fire and water sorted.. Though I haven't seen Captain Planet before, so I'm not sure-

[ Then Zulius says that and Lapis immediately chokes on air before dissolving into giggles. Give her a second. ]

Aha, well, maybe not one this sharp. [ Lapis, no. ]

[not_a_possum]

Ooh! That looks neat! You definitely should incorporate that into your next drag outfit.

[bebest]

[This is what he's here for!]

There's gotta be more of us! Oh and it was this TV show in the 80s where a bunch of kids had like, elemental power rings and they could summon a hot-ass superhero. It was like fire and water and all that. Also heart, I guess? That's an element, apparently. But yeah! We got fire and water down pat!

[The chance was right there and he took it!!]

Oh yeah, you gotta ease into that. They probs have a store for that in Undertown.

[Guys you don't have to be this way. ]

[bebest]

Moxx, you are a goddamn GENIUS!! Yaaassss, I can so do something with this!!! It's like a magical water baton. I could do great stuff with It's Raining Fellas with this, right?

[whiteshroud]

The thing inside you.

It's a special weapon that was used in my past world to combat spirit monsters. Soul Devices only appear for those with high spirit power, and they will take shapes that suit its wielder.

[throwmoreswords]

I would say 'I can't believe you're going to rainbow up marching band' but I can believe you would. It's a natural progression, truthfully. Maybe we should put the band in heels.

Oh, actors in general. Some people have no shame, and bills, and thus.

I am fascinated by the concept of the Man Weather universe, however. Sell it to me.

[cockade]

Shirts, yes, of course. Society might have an issue if shirts weren't a thing. But a T-shirt, certainly not.

[It absolutely wasn't, he knows that for sure.]

That would make sense, though I suppose it would be easier if you always knew about it. I spent almost two years in another world prior to this one, so I would say that counts in some way?

[jackdawvision]

Did you know that fellow from the Goodwill can actually get the stars to deliver these bags to you if you're away from Kaisou? Because he can, and they did, and I've only just gotten the scorch marks out of the Jackdaw.

[A beat.]

We did get quite a lot of bear meat on the voyage, though, so. [Oh shit wait. He feels the need to add:] The furry, four-legged kind.

Don't know what that baton is, though, sorry.

[crisantemo]

[ His excitement is infectious, though now his words bring a whole other conundrum; ]

... How is heart an element?

[ How does it work... She tries to think of how it would work, but currently her brain just goes towards Valentines Day considering it's looming on the horizon in all it's heart-y glory.

And she breathes out another laugh, lips quriking up into a tired but amused smile. She may be drained from the fight with Blade, but that still won't stop the terrible jokes. ]

If I find something, I'll let you know.

[ The unsaid for Vergil is there. They really don't need to be this way but they're doing it anyway. ]

[not_a_possum]

Oh yes, definitely. Let me know if you need a backup dancer!

[prunedworlds]

"Oh nice, it's like something out of a magical girl series!"

No, Ritsuka does not have any useful knowledge to share, just being a nerd.

"Can it do anything else, or just spray water?"
