[He's not going to put on video for once, instead opting to voice. He sounds peeved, but only mildly so]

Oh hey, heads up- if you go into that Spirit Realm, do not agree to play any soccer games unless you're really into dying! Which for related reasons, I'm not going in there. So people who'd be inclined to call me, you're on your own!

Anyway- I got a question. Has there been any progress on fixing fae curses? I hooked up with a hot chick this weekend, and don't get me wrong it was a great time- but ever since then I've been plucking feathers out of my hair.

So like, is there a cream or a pill for that, or am I sunk?

I am a bunny half the time forever.

[Immediately twisting about on the couch to peer up at him with a scrunched-up face.]

No! I was going to say, you don't have to buy pillows anymore. You can just make your own and sleep on it.

[wilder]

Physically? But spiritually? 24/7 bunny.

[.....]

Sis, just because I suggested having a hard spending limit at the next convention doesn't mean we're hurting for money THAT much. We got enough to buy pillows, don't sweat it.

[greatlydares]

......you know what, I can't argue with that.

[A huff.]

I'm not sweating it! If I were, you'd know by the begging. [She props her elbow up on the back of the couch, putting her chin atop the heel of her palm.] I'm just...finding a bright side to you suddenly growing feathers. I can't really help with the fae curse thing, and I don't know anyone who can.

[Or, you know, she wouldn't be possessed.]

You could make snazzy accessories with them. Necklaces with feather pendants, feather earrings, feather boas, that kinda thing. You don't even have to sell them.

[wilder]

[He listens to her ideas, making a face as she does it.]

.... Sis, as much as I appreciate the "glass half full mentality"- my feathers are a body part. You're suggesting we make accessories out of my body parts.

Maybe, just this once, it's better we just accept there isn't a bright side with this!

[greatlydares]

[Belle, whose best friend is Harumasa, recoils immediately, grimacing.] ...yeah, okay, maybe let's not make accessories out of them.

But then, what are we going to do when you molt and leave feathers everywhere? [Wait.] Can you molt? Is that a thing that happens when you get cursed? Am I going to shed so much fur?

[wilder]

[Zelos meanwhile knows nothing of Harumasa's trauma, so he does not understand the full weight of the recoil. Ah ignorance is bliss]

The same thing we do with hair that sheds! Molting's not a big deal, it only happens once or twice a year and it's usually around the same time- so easy enough to predict. [How does he know this] As for you.........

Yeah, I'd say we should get you a pet brush. And lint rollers.

[greatlydares]

[How many bird people did you know back in your world that you know that? Belle keeps that question locked up tight, and instead:]

I love that you think I know anything about birds. I thought they did that thing where they shed old feathers more often than once or twice a year. Did you ever keep a pet bird?

[It's a subtler way of putting it.]

...I'm not sharing a brush with the cats.

[wilder]

Eheh, fair point. They'll lose the occasional feather once and awhile, it's just the big molts that come once or twice a year- with the changing of the seasons!

And nope! Never had a pet.

Huh? I wasn't proposing that! Of course we're buying you a new brush~! And maybe whatever other cute things rabbits like.
