video, un: grimm

[hagrides]

[The video opens on two figures standing outside a circus tent. Grimm is hard to mistake for anyone else, and it should be no surprise to those who know him to see Mike Morton at a circus.]

Greetings to you all, my fellow Moonblessed. We are pleased to announce the opening of the Lacewing Circus as a permanent attraction in Lower Lunatia. We hope that all who have an interest will come to one of our performances, occurring every Saturday and Sunday at five PM.

Ever wanted to see someone defy gravity? Well now you can! Swing on by for acrobatics, trapeze acts, and tightrope walking galore! It’s a scene you wouldn’t want to miss— guaranteed! But don’t just take my word for it. Come see with your own eyes! Just don’t let this momentous occasion pass you by.

[Mike pops up out of the parting bow fast and points at the camera. One last thing:]

…But wait! That’s not all. We’re also taking your applications! So? Don’t be shy. Show us what you’ve got.

[ Ah well, guess that means he'll just get a surprise when he shows up with the rest of the VEL house or something. ]

Is it now? And what can I expect to see at the Lacewing Circus?

[bombvault]

Well, what are you hoping to see? Because we've got a lot!
Grimm's a one of a kind fire dancer for instance!

[ Mike might've been a bit more apprehensive about it if he wasn't. ]

We've got balancing acts and so much juggling too!
But it'll simply ruin the surprise if I tell you everything. Now won't it?

[allegedprisoner]

I suppose you're right. I can't wait to finally see your act in person.

[bombvault]

[ It sounds like this person knows him. ]

It'll exceed your expectations for sure! Who should I expect to see in the audience?

[allegedprisoner]

If I can convince them? Mr. Grantz, Mr. Clark, and myself. Why?

[bombvault]

Luca!! Why didn't you say it was you earlier?

[ This HAS to be Luca. ]

I'll pay for the tickets. I insist!

[allegedprisoner]

I thought the username would be a dead giveaway to people I know.

[ Seriously. It's his initials. "L-B-". ]

You really want to do that?!

[bombvault]

Well most people don't use their initials. They have a pseudonym!!

[ Luca please he's not a dummy. It's just a lot of people could have those initials!!! ]

Of course I mean it! I'd just love to see all of you there after all.

[allegedprisoner]

That's something to note, though I'm not sure if I should be changing my username at this point.

[ That is fair, though. He wasn't that comfortable with being recognized online at first. ]

That's wonderful, thank you Norton.

[ EGJKLSEgsEKSLGJES Mike can't be upset because Luca's memory is the worst but he can still pull a FACE in the privacy of his own home. ]

2/2

[bombvault]

That's the other guy, silly. I'm Mike!
and you're so welcome ♥ !!

[allegedprisoner]

Other guy? [ Give him a second to check the text convo. ] Which other guy? I don't see a third person in the video with you.

[bombvault]

[ Oh luca... ]

That's because he's probably back at the manor with everyone else!
Because I don't think he's here.

Don't you remember that Prospector bloke?

[allegedprisoner]

Oh, you meant the man with the magnets and the burns on his face. My apologies.

But speaking of that manor, I just realized... Do you think the others have noticed we've suddenly vanished?

[bombvault]

Bingo! That's the one.

I'd like to think they would notice that I'm gone at the very least!! But it would be sad if anyone was really worried. So I really hope that no one is losing sleep over it!

[allegedprisoner]

As would I. I actually hope they assume we somehow got out alive.

[bombvault]

Awww but I'd never split town without at least saying goodbye!

[ Mike isn't one to bring down the mood. But if the rest are even aware that they're gone... 100% they probably assume that they're super dead!!! ]

Hey! Maybe eventually they could just show up here too. Then the problem would be solved, wouldn't it?

[allegedprisoner]

[ Unfortunately, no one in that manor would be at fault for thinking that. But let's get our minds off things, shall we? ]

It would, and honestly I hope they manage to show up. As strange as this place is it's far better than what we left behind.

[ He might be projecting himself a little here. Then again, he can't imagine anyone wanting to go back to being constantly hunted for sport. ]

[bombvault]

Yeah! That'd be great.
Although some of them would reaaaaally hate it!!
But it's really quite comfortable otherwise.

[ A lot of the people already here hate it. His impish giggling cannot be translated through text. What a loss. ]

[allegedprisoner]

[ ... He may not remember who all is here, but he can kind of read the room. ]

Let me guess, some of them wouldn't take kindly to the moonlacing?

[bombvault]

Exactly so!
But who knows for sure? I sure don't!
But it's a mean joke that the super shy ones are here already.

[ Mike back at it again "subtweeting" the people he knows for all of the network to see. ]

But you're doing just fine, right, Luca?

[allegedprisoner]

It truly is...

[ Oh, he forgot about Victor and that Gravekeeper... Andre, was it? Poor fellow. ]

I'm doing alright so far. A little physical contact a day is practically nothing compared to the sort of economy we have at home.
