[ the view is black when the feed finally enters video mode, but the sound well. that leaves much to be desired. whatever he's doing to make the communicator make that noise should definitely be illegal.

it's actually kindof. terrifying.

the camera picks up a handful of images of the oxygen garden as it spirals backwards and drops a few feet, sorry to those of you who get motion sick. the communicator comes to an abrupt stop on the ground (the clunk of metal on grass isn't as bad as it could be, but still isn't all that promising) and for a long stretch of moments, you're pretty much stuck looking at a tree trunk.

until-

a stick. s l o w l y turns it over onto it's back, and you get a nice view of the treetops overhead. guys we have a nice oxygen garden, it's really pretty in he- oh wait, nope, you're being rolled back over onto your other side now. silence, and on the other end of the feed, peter is leaning over to listen, which gives you a glimpse of a blond curl at the top of the video, before it's snatched away. WELP. he's satisfied that he's killed it. ]

O, the cleverness of me!

Comments

voice; ( OF CONCERN, REALLY )

[cons]

Hey, kid, need some help? [ see look how concerned she is oh wait ] I mean, you're not drunk, are you?

video; ( of what the fuck i killed you how are you talking)

[hangedmanstree]

[ HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE

there is a rustling that follows, and while the boy remains off screen, the branches and it's leaves ripple with movement overhead. in the silence that follows however, he wonders if maybe this isn't a strange music box. he's seen them before- the place where ladies hide their jewelry.

no sound reaches the feed when he returns to the ground, but the device is lifted, and finally offers a view of his face.

unfortunately, it's so that he can sniff you. ]

[ video ]

[hostage]

[Jesse is just laughing and applauding at this.]

[ video ]

[hangedmanstree]

[ well, it's a far more innocent sound than- pretty much anything else could be.

which has Peter shaking the device, to try and, you know. get the tiny fairy in there out of the box. ]

[handelaar]

[So. Uh. Within the first first five zeros, he thinks this is Nill again and heaves a sigh, only making it through some blurred foliage before he stops watching and starts replying.]

Are you lost or hiding
Or watching

video;

[hangedmanstree]

[ WHAT ARE THESE SHAPES HE IS AN IMMORTAL CHILD WHY WOULD HE KNOW HOW TO READ

he does squint down at the feed though, and try to scrub the strange squiggles off of his screen. ]

[sweetmotherofgod]

[heather's attempts to sound stern are somewhat thwarted by the fact that she can't keep a little smile off her face or laughter out of her voice.]

The hell are you doing to my garden, kid?

video;

[hangedmanstree]

[ THIS MYSTERIOUS VOICE

his head jerks up, gaze casting wildly around the room to try and find the source, because why would it be coming from this weird thing on the ground, that's just silly. one hand goes to his side, dagger drawn. ]

Who's there?

[ripstides]

Wait.

So, what exactly did you do that was clever? [ just going to loudly judge you over here, bro. ]

[hangedmanstree]

[ haters to the left, percy

his curiosity is piqued (not a feat, by any stretch of the imagination) but there is no wariness in the reply. ]

Most everything I do is clever.

[omicron]

[ r u srs rn. ]

Well done, it's dead. This is just a figment of your imagination speaking.

video;

[hangedmanstree]

[ his head cants over the feed, then drifts to the opposite shoulder- before he decides that he's given that enough thought. his chin dips forward as a dagger is sheathed at his side. ]

My imagination is much greater than such a small box.

voice;

[scamp]

[ ... ]

Are you for real?

video;

[hangedmanstree]

[ at the very least, he's had enough time to get used to voices coming from no where- which means that he doesn't bother with a backwards glance to the device, and instead continues his exploring. ]

Well I am not make believe.

video.

[shoyu]

[ oh this is charming. an amused little laugh and then, cheerfully, ]

Don't suppose you'd go through the trouble of granting us a better view? There's just so long that dirt and plant bottoms can hold one's interest.

video.

[hangedmanstree]

What should you like a view of?

[ UGH THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GROWNUP

and ordinarily, where his head may have appeared at the top of the feed to peer at the source of the voice, he stays hidden from view. well. mostly. the side of one dirty foot can be seen in the grass. ]

It is an awfully small forest.

VIDEO/ACKSHUN or something

[tofindthesun]

[this is the other giant fairy, perched somewhere high up and watching the whole exchange. he's never seen someone fly before.

here's something fun he can do.

using his own communication device to record fairyboy's antics.. and send it as a reply. mm-hm.]

VIDEO/ACKSHUN idk shenanigans being had in the gardens

[hangedmanstree]

[ it takes him some time, if only because he is so easily distracted (and the communicators offer no shortage of mysterious voices to speak to) but Peter does not often encounter those he must look up to see. when he does spy the other, it's only because of the light glinting off of his communicator, and Peter draws towards it with equal parts intent and intrigue. perhaps if he is able to lose the attention of this stranger, he might sneak up on him.

he catches the air, gliding through the windless room to mask himself in the dense foliage of the trees above. ]

voice;

[blunted]

Well, that's different.

video;

[hangedmanstree]

Who're you?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[Well. That is enough to make one seasick.]

I fail to see what is clever about that.

video;

[hangedmanstree]

I thought I had killed it. But since you're living inside there, you must be very lucky I didn't.

[video] LATE FOREVER

[the_vishual]

[ This? This is funny and Chase can't help but laugh. A lot, actually. It's a quiet giggle but it's something, a big step for her at least. ]

You're very curious, sir!

[video]

[hangedmanstree]

[ it's the youngest voice he's heard so far, and perhaps for that reason, Peter is less inclined to actively keep himself away from the feed. ]

Curious?

[player_not_slayer]

Yeah. You're a big bad communicator slayer, all right.

[You have got to be kidding him. What is this guy even.]

[hangedmanstree]

[ POT, KETTLE CALLING. ]

Don't worry, I didn't break your little house.

Voice

[still_alive]

Congratulations. You've killed it.

[hangedmanstree]

It isn't dead! Voices still keep coming out!

[ video ]

[tailcrook]

[Okay watching this was strange enough on its own, but that sound hurt.]

Clever? What were you trying to do with it?

[ video ]

[hangedmanstree]

Kill it of course.

Video

[bottlearum]

[Have a raised eyebrow.]

What exactly were ya tryin' t'do to it, mate?

permavideo|

[hangedmanstree]

I was practicing. For when I kill the pirates.
