WHO: Takame and you
WHERE: Gemini Network
WHEN: 6/23happy birthday sonic
WHAT: Prophecy!!
WARNINGS: August’s mouth by proxy
[Hey gamers, it’s ya boi Kesi Takame here with the foreboding bullshit of the month. Contrary to that description, as always when he delivers these messages he meets the feed with a bow.]
'Tis Kesi Takame, I pray you are all well. I've come to present you all once more with the prophecies for the next month. [For the uninitiated, Takame seemed normal as always as he pulled out his notes. But those who know him well will note that he’s pausing for a long while indicating that he’s a little uneasy.]
Three of Pentacles, reversed. I am told this represents, quote: "Conflicts, lack of teamwork, and people fucking shit up because of their egos".
[The only time he says the fuck word is when quoting directly… or when chasing moogles down but shh.]
The colors red, white and blue. No further context, though during the early parts of July, does this realm not post those colors rather openly? [Half spoken idly to himself, that’s how you know he’s trying not to be so military report about the prophecies.
The tone did shift greatly though with the next thing he shared.]
… A guillotine. No further context. And a sluice gate, again, no further context. [Which explained the subtle unease if the card didn’t already. But this is the part where it gets weird.]
… Squares? "Upon squares upon squares?" And strangely enough… Veldora. He was wearing an outfit that appeared similar to one of the books that he and Rose read… Bishoujo Senshi…? [He rolled a 7 on remembering what Sailor Moon was.]
Finally there was a song. I did not recognize it but when I’d asked I was told that it is "the Theme from Terminator?" And my research indicated that it was a movie…
[And he shares a link! It took him a while to figure out how to do it.]
I’m unsure what this all entails, but it is best we keep our guard up in the near future I think…

video; un; tempestdragon
give it a couple of minutes and then a video's gonna be posted of all 6'10 of Veldora in his well-fitted, deeply beloved Sailor Moon cosplay--minus the wig because Rose isn't here to help him get the buns to stay on. he holds his arms out to the side and does that little back and forth modeling twirl thing, cheerfully curious expression on his face. ]
Was it this, Sir Takame?
no subject
But Takame nodded. The modeling helps.]
Yes, that was it exactly.

I'm going to need to change my outfit plans.
no subject
[Guy who is clueless.]

[Leon's already dreading it.]
Between that and the guillotine, the symbol of the French Revolution, I can't help but wonder if we're not in for some kind of paradigm shift next month. [He doesn't miss the hint of revolution in there.] As for the Terminator, it's a movie about Linda Hamilton outwitting a robot assassin sent back in time by his robot masters to kill the leader of the resistance in her womb.
It's actually really good.
no subject
no subject
Mm... 'tis possible. Unfortunately I cannot say for certain. Though I've seen the results of rising tensions first hand several times before.
[Meaning he was right to tell everyone to be on their guard.]
Hm. I was told by the one who informed me of where the theme hails from that it was a frightening movie. Though I'll confess it takes a great deal to truly unsettle me.
no subject
[If it was a formal outing Takame would see the faux pas but aren't "anime conventions" rather casual?]
video
no subject
I'd sooner wear white to a wedding.
no subject
[The worst part of that might just possibly be all the damn waiting, with the worry twisting his stomach into knots. Easy enough to overthink when given all the time in the world before something big and bad hits them.]
Yeah, it's a terrifying movie, but it's a good one, promise. So's the second movie. The rest of them are... [He pauses, trying to find a diplomatic way to phrase it.] Not of the same caliber of quality.
no subject
Which I'm going to be celebrating at home, with headphones on.
no subject
Assuming there was even a connection between... anything in the prophecy. She sure couldn't say.
"Not a fan of fireworks, huh?"
no subject
[Well now he feels bad.]
Forgive me, I didn't realize.
no subject
[Takame didn't like it any more than Leon did. Being a seer didn't make the sense of concern any less loud.]
Hm. Perhaps I should look into it when I have the time. [It is still June after all and he did still work at the Vogue. But also he watches everything with Yusuke cause he's a big dumb doting boi.]
no subject
You should come to the convention if you have time! It's a lot of fun.
Video
She knew she probably didn't have much to contribute here but look she'd offer what she could.
"And was there anything about the sluice gate, like whether it was open or closed? There's a saying about 'opening the floodgates' so..."
video; un: midnightfishing
[It's been a very strange few months and now he's just realized that he's going to have to throw together a cosplay outfit in days.]
Does anyone have a fur coat I can borrow? I can pull the rest of Rosinante's outfit together easily, I just need his coat.
no subject
[Literally that easy.]
no subject
And I was only told of a sluice gate and nothing else.
no subject
[To be fair he's much taller than most of Kaisou aside from the aforementioned Veldora. He's also bulkier. He also has a tail. He als]
no subject
She tried!
"On the one hand, maybe it's not that bad. On the other hand, since from what I understand these prophecies have a track record of being pretty accurate, maybe it'd be best to assume the worst and that some sort of 'floodgate' has or will be opened..."
no subject
[Says Noctis, who's 5'9" and would be swimming in anything of Takame's.]
Just needs to be black.
video | UN: Thorn
[But it works?]
Oh, yes! Veldora's outfit. It looks very good, I think.
no subject
Haha, of course I do!
Rose will be there too, and I know she'd like to see you. Oh, and I bet your boyfriend would enjoy it too!
no subject
[True story. And yeah 5'9 is very not Takame's 6'7.]
no subject
no subject
no subject
Do you think he will? [He can do thing for bf???]
no subject
Anime is a form of art. I'm sure if anyone can appreciate that, it's Yusuke.
no subject
I see. I will ask him if he would like to go as well, then.
no subject
Wishful thinking, clearly.
no subject
[Takame will receive a picture of Rose on his phone, dressed to the nines.]
Will you be going?
no subject
You look lovely, Rose.
And I will be, yes. Jun asked if I would. [So you know. He's allergic to declining. But at least it means he can have a fun. Just one fun. As a treat.]
no subject
[And then she pauses. And gets an idea! Terrifying.]
Oh! And you should cosplay with us.
no subject
[Though he’d really rather not, a coat like that can get expensive.]
Are you going to the convention yourself?
no subject
[...]
I have never done it before... is it very different from drag?
no subject
[that easy...]
no subject
Not terribly? I suppose the main difference is you choose a character to dress up as, and there's no need to put on a performance.
Unless you'd like to, of course.
no subject
[The worst part is that he's very tall and has muscle but so does Veldora. He would try it.]
no subject
[A beat.]
Oh! And we should all walk around the convention together.
no subject
[A sigh.]
Not really, no. It’s just… [Call it PTSD, he supposes, or a hangover from his past life, but:] When I hear a loud bang, I don’t think fireworks.
no subject
[Can you hear the bitter sarcasm in his voice?]
Remember, just watch the first two movies. You can watch the rest, it’s a free country and I can’t stop you, but they’re not nearly as good. [He grimaces.] And honestly, the most recent ones were…pretty terrible, if you ask me.
no subject
That was really just about the extent of her knowledge on the subject though, did she look like some kind of historian to you??
"Ah, that's rough. At least here it's mostly just around the Fourth, since some places go pretty wild for stuff like new year's too..."
no subject
Let me know what days you get tickets for, I'll make sure to meet up.
no subject
Who are you going as?
