003. [Video/Action for Goldenrod City] (hella backdated to like Oct. 3rd)

[foolishwren]

<sub>[THERE ARE LOTS OF WET SLAPPING NOISES. Someone is vigorously painting something with a large brush, slinging thick strokes of blue across a wooden surface.]

[The project was apparently nearing completion already by the time the camera was turned on, because it's only a couple of seconds before the view steps back, revealing:]



[Anyone who's been doing any wandering in suburban Goldenrod lately may know about the weird, otherwise-nice house that has suddenly started getting its windows boarded up and had candles sprouting all over it like little glowing mushrooms. WELL, THIS IS THAT WEIRD HOUSE'S DOORWAY, AND NOW IT HAS A SPOOKY-LOOKING DEMONIC BLUE SYMBOL ON THE FRONT DOOR.]

[The camera whips around. The painter is Heather! She looks pissed. Whether that's funny or scary depends on whether or not you notice the fact that her freckles are now supplemented by a bunch of blue paint flecks.]

[She has only one thing to say to the camera.]</sub>

God can kiss my ass.

<sub>[And the feed ends.]



[????? ???? ????????????]</sub>

[...you, know, of all the things to come home to, this probably isn't the weirdest. Not sure what that says about this household.]

You're gonna make Envy's ego even bigger if you call him that.

[Jokes about their relationship?! Scandalous.]

action;

[foolishwren]

<sub>[She's not entirely sure they're at a point where Al can acceptably joke about their relationship, BUT IT'S WAY BETTER THAN HIM GETTING ANGRY AT THEM so she ain't gonna say nothin.]

[Instead she'll crack a little joke of her own.]</sub>

If there's a 'God' in this relationship, it sure as hell isn't Envy.

_{[hahahahahahahaha]}

[armoredsoul]

[Yeah, he's wincing soon as the words have left his mouth, but can't exactly pull it back now. And she doesn't seem pissed, so...bonus?]

[He laughs a little weakly and comes up to a stop beside her, frowning at the...well, it's not a transmutation circle, not with that power balancing, but it seems similar.]

So...what is this, exactly? Seems like a little more than just 'spooky month, time to freak out the neighbors' stuff.

[SLOW... CLAP...?]

You uh. Sure showed God.

video;

[foolishwren]

I did, actually!

_{[Oh wait she's talking to an innocent bystander. Um.]}

Okay, so, I know that probably looked REALLY weird, but I promise you I'm not just like. High.

It's complicated.

[shiro2hero]

Let me guess.

"Cult stuff"?

[Video][Private]

[wing_attack]

[That. That looks bad. He sighs and takes a deep breath. ... And switches on a private filter for good measure.]

... Do you need me to come over? Or to talk about anything?

Re: [Video][Private]

[foolishwren]

NOPE.

<sub>[This answer comes readily. This isn't like the Claudia video, apparently-- she's not sad, just MAD.]

[She is also currently adding little touches on her admittedly-fairly sloppy Halo there.]</sub>

I've already done all the talking I need to, and the person I was talking to knows who they are.

[Video][Private]

[wing_attack]

Okay.

.. Need some... chocolate or something? I can get you a delivery.

[He just worries about her, okay.]

[video]

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

So normally I'd agree. Like, don't get me wrong, totally agree.

But what the actual fuck, though.

[video]

[foolishwren]

OKAY, yeah, full disclosure, I didn't really think before making this video, soooooo yeah, fully aware that this is probably one of the weirder things for your average random bystander to sign on in the morning and see.

In my defense: there is one specific person who this is gonna really offend, and that, in my opinion, is worth a little confusion.

Sorry.

[video]

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

Oh my god. You fucked up your place and painted some fuckin' satanic shit on your door just to piss off one person?

That's the kind of personalized 'fuck you and the ponyta you rode in on' I can get behind. Go offend the lil shit. And also god. Go ahead and offend god, too.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

...Hmm. Your form's pretty good, especially for using paint. Not entirely sure what it's supposed to do, but that's definitely just a different universes thing...

[...my apologies, you've attracted a magic nerd.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Halo of the Sun. In red, it glorifies God and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In blue, it reverses its meaning and becomes a curse on God instead.

Cult shit.

Don't really expect anybody else to know about it.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I see.

[So it's more symbolism then. Or an insult. Still interesting.]

Sounds legit. Guess you've got a pretty big problem with God, though, if you'd take the time to bother to curse him out.

Video

[dreamsofahero]

Some sort of magic sigil or ward, I presume?

*...well he might not be Ryner's level of magic nerd but he's definitely intrigued!*

Video

[foolishwren]

Halo of the Sun. In red, it glorifies God and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In blue, it reverses its meaning and becomes a curse on God instead.

Basically, I'm telling God to fuck off.

VIDEO

[11121_assumption]

[ ...well, this has happened. Part of him is furious. The Halo represents the God born from the Sun; it's meant to be in red or in colours that reflect the warm light she was birthed from, not blue. Also it's been painted so messily. But there's something he realises. ]

Is that on the door of your house?

VIDEO

[foolishwren]

As a matter of fact, it is.

So you know loud and clear, you see that sigil anywhere? You're not welcome.

You see that on something, that means it's mine.

I'll paint it on Henry's freaking forehead if I have to.

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Well, at least the house looks dressed for Halloween...

Video

[foolishwren]

--yeeeeaaah.

That's, uh.

_{[IT HAD OCCURRED TO HER, A LITTLE TOO LATE, THAT LUST MIGHT NOT APPRECIATE WHAT WAS BEING DONE TO HER FRONT DOOR.]}

... I'll paint back over it in awhile. After Halloween.

video

[zoomied]

You doin' alright there?

video

[foolishwren]

_{[She drags one hand down the side of her face, leaving a blue smudge.]}

Juuuuust peachy.

How about you?

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[When Envy opened the front door to go out today, he didn't think he'd be confronted with his girlfriend wielding a messy blue paintbrush. He stops right where he is in confusion, door half open.]

Uh...

[action]

[foolishwren]

_{[THERE IS A LONG MOMENT IN WHICH THEY JUST SORT OF FACE EACH OTHER.]}

... I was gonna say this isn't what it looks like, but I don't actually know what it looks like.

So...
