Video; UN: oona

[mermaiding]

[Well all of that doll nonsense was, you know. Fun.

(It was not)

But it's over now, so moving on! Out of sight, out of mind!

Oona appears on the network, around 10 books scattered around her. From the looks of the covers, they're all very trashy ridiculous romance novels. Oona sits on the floor in the middle of them, one in her hand and opened somewhere in the middle, but her expression is a bit disappointed and exasperated]

Human books are so strange! Like stories and such-- really like romance. There is so many! But so weird. Want to read romance, but keep talking about gardens!

[Wait what.

She looks disappointedly at the book again and sighs deeply.] Where did she get flowers from, so sudden? Why is he stroking 'quivering flower petals'? [UH] Or rubbing buds? [oona wait--]

And! Man keeps suddenly having hard swords? They stab, but girls like? So weird! Is all such nonsense! [ooNA NO.

She tosses the book none-too-gently over her shoulder and rests her elbow on her knee, chin in hand, pouting.]

Tell me better stories.

Comments

[A new face! A new pretty face! Oona perks up some, but laughs in agreement at his words]

So strange! So far, the only things have not had to complain too much about is their food! Ah, well, some of it.

[saigawa]

[A pretty face with nice looking nails! His smile quirks up and he nods.]

Oh man, they do have so many good food! They're usually pretty good at making things with their hands, so I can almost forgive them for being strange.

[After all, he exists!]

Did anyone tell you what's up with those stories yet?

[mermaiding]

Almost. [It doesn't totally negate everything else about them, but yeah.

She sighs deeply and nods] Yes, know now. [What kind of stories these were and all, she means] So annoying... Just wanted love story. Not that kind of love story.

Not that it is not also good, but... [Just wasn't what she wanted, you know??]

What other things do humans make that you like? [Oona's curious, since Kashuu brought it up]

[saigawa]

They should add labels or something for them.

[Except erotica do have labels?! Eh, anyway.]

Other things I like? Obviously, it's their clothes! A lot of them have very good sense of style and use it to make so many cute things to wear!

[Among other things, but human fashion is something he likes observing and wearing.]

[mermaiding]

[Slap some AO3-style tags on them. 'No beta we die like men.'

She listens with curiosity, but immediately makes a face when he mentions clothes] Eugh... Clothes? Like clothes? Why? They are so... [She makes a vague hand gesture and shakes her head]

Is not comfortable! But so many like it. So weird...

[saigawa]

"Not comfortable"?

[He blinks for a moment, before he decides to...! Speaks as if he Knows.]

Clearly, that means you haven't find and wear the right ones for you. And beside fitting you, clothes can make you look great! Cute, stylish, and everyone would look at you!

[Like the gaze of awe and adoration. Maybe the occasional envy, but he doesn't care for them as much as people he wants attention from.]

[mermaiding]

Do not already look good enough? [Her tone is faintly sarcastic and she raises an eyebrow before she snorts in amusement and drops the look.]

Get enough attention, do not need all that for it. Stand out on own! [There's a little laugh and Oona eyes him thoughtfully] But, you are good looking. Very pretty~

[saigawa]

Aww, thank you. I know I look cute, but why not become even cuter?

[Sure, that might be sarcasm he picks up. But he'll take it. Especially when it seems like her comment about looking pretty sound genuine!]

As the cutest sword around, it's only natural for me keep that position~

[Even if none of his comrades are exactly competing with him for it, but shh.]

[mermaiding]

[Well she was sort of joking but she huffs out a breath, amused despite herself, and tilts her head. She's about to say more--flirt and say that's clearly impossible, or something--but her brain picks up on the one Off Thing like a beacon.

She squints slightly]

Sword?

[like look, she knows what a sword is. But she's not entirely sure ho it comes into use here. Is it some weird human slang she's not understanding or ???]
