[003 | VIDEO] morning of the 18th

[spah]

[It's early, and Engineer has his communication bracelet's video screen leaned up against his bathroom mirror.

Engie himself looks... different. Aside from being in an undershirt with an expression that says "just woke up," he's also sporting stark white whiskers, not unlike barbels, sticking out from under his beard. Two strands flow out neatly on either side of his cheeks, almost matching the direction of his growth.

Along with that, there's new scales on his bare shoulders in patches of black, white, orange, and a little bit of blue. He holds up a beard trimmer, and you can barely see flowing, sheer-like white fins under his arms.

Basically, he's a koi now.]

Anybody got tips on how to shave 'round fish whiskers?

[If you haven't heard Engineer speak before, that's a pretty thick Texan accent.

He chuckles sleepily and rubs one eye with his other hand. He's really tired. Don't ask why.]

Hell, how do y'all do regular, everyday things 'round the animal bits? Honest-to-god question. Might as well make this Lunatia's talkin' point for the morning.

Hey everyone, happy Summer Solstice!

Yeah, I checked, and it turns out this is the longest day of the year here in Lunatia. They, uh, don't seem to celebrate it, though. Kinda strange, back home it was a pretty big deal. There was a big feast, planting seeds and starting gardens... oh, the flower crowns! Everybody got at least one. Some people had trouble wearing all the ones they had.

Also I think stuff with alcohol and... well, that stuff my Dad would have killed me for getting involved with, so nevermind.

Anyway, any of you guys have celebrations like that? And Riku, Sora, we've got to at least get some crowns made before the day's over!

[What Kairi isn't saying is, the Summer Solstice is also her birthday, or at least the day they've celebrated it since she arrived on the islands. But hey, she won't make a big deal out of that, and the only ones who know are her boys.]
