Video | Forward dated to the 12th

Mal sehen, ob ich mich erinnere.... Otacon! I have for you an update on what the shift is for me, during Iris.

[The man ducks his head just a touch, and the base of what appear to be very large, very imposing antlers are visible for a moment. Apparently it would take a bit of effort to actually display the entire rack, just judging by the sheer girth of the base of those antlers. Less visible, but still obviously there? The base of a pair of fluffy, off white colored lop ears.]

I would show you in person, if you like, but I would need eh... A little bit of time to get ready. Leaving the apartment has become... a bit more complicated than usual. I am not clear on the anatomy of antlers, I do not think you can just file them down to fit through doors.

... Ah, with complicated in mind! Gabriel, I have a favor I would like to ask of you! I will pay you back, I have no button up shirts. Would you be able to get one or... three for me? I did not come prepared for this, I fear.

I know a couple of places, yeah. You want me to drop them off at your place?

[This is weirdly amusing but hey. The antlers weren't a surprise and answered just what moonblessing he fell under.]

Seems like it might be easier if I do.

I would appreciate this, ja. I am decent,

[Not being able to put on a shirt didn't make him indecent, but it would make walking through town right now a bit awkward]

but I'd rather have a proper shirt. I have to repair the door frame now, as well...

[Since he sort of forgot that he was carrying around a giant pair of god-forsaken antlers and tried to walk out a door the way he usually did and... well, that door frame's seen better days, but at least now he knows the antlers are sturdy, right?]

Give me a little while, already out so it won't be much of a trip to go look for a few.

[He was out getting food, so he was around the shopping district as it was. Could spare the chroma, too.

That's rough, buddy.]

Want me to pick up anything for that job? Sounds like you've had a hell of a day, Wilhelm.

I have had far worse days. I cannot say the same for this door frame though.

[There's a faint crack, and he pulls down a small chunk of the frame itself. Judging by the state of that piece, there's a good chance a lot of it is just barely on by a few fibrous splinters]

A set of two by fours, some nails and a hammer, if it is not too much trouble.

[A low whistle. Damn, the man really did cause some damage didn't he?]

Alright, got that list memorized. Guess you're going to have to use the slightly duck and go out sideways option during Iris- and probably that time all three moons are full.

[He is a big, big boy, and while aware of his own strength, he's not really used to having what amounts to a small tree growing out of his head.

Rest in pieces, door frame.]

I already duck!

[DUCK MORE. It's okay, he'll get used to it. He'll just have to make a note to start modifying the house a little more to suit him.]

At least the antlers were not harmed, I suppose. Far easier to repair a door frame than a skull. Vielen Dank, Gabriel, I owe you a favor for this.

[You will be well remembered.]

Gotta go sideways with those horns now, too. At least they're technically temporary? Just got to deal with them for... Nine or so days? Around that.

[Like he is very, very much glad to be back to normal and not think too hard about what happened during his Cordis change this time around. At least his hair isn't white anymore and he's gotten his color back.]

Eh, you were always a bit thick-skulled.

[A dry tease.]

I'll call you back once I've gotten all the stuff.

[There's a bit of a grunt on Reinhardt's side, a noise between a short chuckle and a scoff. Okay, yes, the joke is funny, even if it's slightly at his expense.]

Nine days of these! I may as well pitch a tent in the yard, I am not shuffling sideways from my home every day.

I will await your call, then.

[Always could take a joke, honestly.]

Think you could get the door widened? Might help, already a big guy and I doubt anyone would mind you making the front door more you friendly.

I should, but that will be a project for another day, I should think.

[When he can go to the store and get his own supplies, he's not going to mooch off friends for this!]

Later, when I have repaired this frame right now, at the very least.

Yeah, yeah.

Like I said, I'm already out so I'll call you when I'm on my way with the button-ups and some supplies for frame repair.

( The surprise is still visible on her face when she starts her reply, but she's also just as clearly delighted. Moreso, she's speckled in white fawn spots along her cheeks and exposed shoulders in whatever sundress she'd donned for the day, hair carefully braided to keep it from interfering with the doe ears perked up with her interest.

It seems they're both deer, which only has her fondness settling deeper in her smile. )

Reinhardt! I had no idea you were here; it's been such a long time. —Ah, and you're correct, please don't try to file your antlers down! It may be best to just remain inside for a couple of days, if you've only just arrived...

( But that is a bit of a difficult conversation to have with one of your heroes, isn't it? That they may be experiencing a rut and others are putting off their own pheromones and all sorts of additional nonsense. So she'll just let it trail off and smile, tipping her head, looking just a little concerned. )

It's wonderful to see you again, though. Would you be up for some company? I could bring something to eat and try to answer any questions you may have. I've been here quite a few months, now.

I'll have something set up for you when you arrive.

[Still has some good stout and decent sandwich making material around here!]

Angela! Es ist so schön dich zu sehen, it has been too long! Meine Güte, you are as lovely as ever.

[As if no time had passed at all, really, it was as if time had stood still for her.

So far, at least, he'd not had to deal with any other aspects of the Iris moon, other than being trapped in his own house and taking out the top of a door frame.]

Gabriel had told me that you were here, I apologize for taking so long to announce myself! I was trying to get a few things in order first, I was a bit caught up when I first arrived.

I am always open for company, my home is yours, natürlich. Please, come! We can have lunch together here, I have much to talk to you of.

You'll hear from me in a few.

[A few what? Who knows, but hey. Little bit of shopping to do.]

[ Wow, a video dedicated all to him on the network! His own video has him shaken out of his persistent depressed state, his tan-grey lop ears perking up (as best they can) and his blue eyes sparkling brightly with joy. ]

It happened! So majestic and cool!

[There you are! Reinhardt beams back, obviously delighted to get such an energetic response]

Vielen Dank, mein Fruend! Though I would have perhaps been happier with... a little less impressiveness.

Ah, I have broken the door frame attempting to leave, so it would seem.

[oh jesus christ. he shouldn't touch this. and YET]

are you stuck in your apartment

[A few is a few! No matter how long it'd take, the house would be ready for Gabriel to show up, including clearing away the debris from the door frame he splintered.

Yes, there are drinks and sandwiches, he's a good host.]

[NEW PHONE WHO DIS]

It seems to be so, I'm afraid. I have broken the top of the door frame.

[It takes a reasonable amount of time, the longest part was honestly finding some shirts that were big enough, but hey this place catered to all sorts. That was very fortunate.

A good host indeed, there was a bag hanging from one arm, no doubt carrying those button up shirts, and it was obvious as to what was being carried over a shoulder. The nails and all were also in the bag.

That poor door frame, at least he let Reinhardt know he was a few feet away with some phone ping.]

[ Hal hides how much he's actually into how big and buff Reinhardt is - his type, and he's so gentle and sweet. This is just kind of a sad byproduct of it, so he frowns. ]

That's... not great. Should I come with a bonesaw or something? Do you need anything?

I do not think we'll need to lop them off.

[There's laughter in his tone at that] I am waiting for a friend to bring me a few things, and I'll set about fixing the door frames to suit me.

I think what I will need, when I fix the frame, is some help making some adjustments to the rest of the doors here. After all, this won't be the first time I'll be sprouting antlers! I can't sleep outside for nine days every month.

Should you like to, I would love a hand with that.

[That door frame is in a state, it looks less like he tried to walk out the door and more like he took a flying rugby tackle at it.

But frankly if that had actually been the case, there might not have been a door left to begin with.

There's Reinhardt, looking sheepish on the other side of the door the second Gabriel arrived, gesturing for him to come in.]

Thank you for the haste, Gabriel. Please, watch yourself, I'm worried the top of the frame might still fall.

Like I said, I was already around the shopping district. Knew where the hardware store was when I went to pick up a chip to get my phone working here.

[He was not losing any of his downloaded music and everything else on his personal phone, thanks. Luckily this place had a way to help with that.

Still, he was quick and careful as he passed under that mess, propping the two-by-fours against a wall carefully, tugging out the nails and hammer and all, and then holding up the bag-]

Picked up enough to last you the week, there was a sale going on. Should fit you fine.
