[mansuetus]

This day has found me sad.

[ there is not much of an introduction today. Lucrezia Borgia, wrapped in a blanket in her bed, pale fingers flipping through a book which lies open in her lap. ]

What can be done to expel such?

It's a boardgame! You push a level and make the little hippos eat the pearls. [At least, he thinks they're pearls. Like oysters. He's never seen real ones before, but maybe they're close enough. He can't really figure out why hippos would like pearls for dinner, though...] You gotta eat as many as you can! Then you count and the hippo with the fullest belly wins.

[mansuetus]

[ what the even is a hippo, Takeshi. ]

-- I wish to play.

voice.

[throwsdown]

[Hippos are the coolest, is what.

He claps his hands together, eyes brightening.]

Good!! Good, good! Where d'you wanna meet? I can meet you anywheres, as long as it's not a dark scary hall! Those are bad to walk in.

voice.

[mansuetus]

Shall I walk you? we can go to the gardens and play on the grass.

voice.

[throwsdown]

Yeah! Where can I find you? I'm at my room! I can wait for you and we can walk and talk...

[He's not aware that you can actually pinpoint his room by his listed tattoo code, but whatever, he's not even realizing she wouldn't... y'know. Know where he lives without that feature.]

voice.

[mansuetus]

And your room number?

[ why are you so adorable. ]

it is the same one as the one on your arm. I will walk there and you shall tell me a story.

video.

[throwsdown]

This one!!

[Suddenly it's video, and his arm is all up in the screen.]

This one, here; I'll wait for you, 'kay? I'll be here, and I'll tell you any kinds of stories!

video.

[mansuetus]

I am walking toward you. I shall hear my story. Once upon a time!

video. → action.

[throwsdown]

[And thus, Takeshi waited, eager as can be. He's got his Hungry Hungry Hippo game in the box, his arms wrapping it and making him look smaller than he already is behind it. He's a patient person, and all. Him and his panda, Hoi Hoi? They can wait for anything.

Games especially.

Games and stories...]

action.

[mansuetus]

[ the knock that comes is light and gentle and the voice that comes is sweet and playful ]

I wonder, I am looking for someone very bright to teach me how to play a game, does he stay here?

action.

[throwsdown]

[Oooh!! He rushes over to the door, hugging his Hungry Hungry Hippos.]

What's the super secret magic password?!

action.

[mansuetus]

[ oh gosh, is this a game, she loves game. she makes a humming sound; thinking, thinking - ]

Hungry Hungry Hippos!

action.

[throwsdown]

[.... OMG

He opens the door and he's completely amazed completely amazed]

How did you know?!
