[Video] Spooky Month Activities! (w/Tokoyami Fumikage)
[For those in the know, you will find Sonia's face popping up on your bracelet interfaces, smiling and barely holding back from shaking apart. For those who don't, well, gird your loins?]
Hello, fellow Moonblessed! My name is Sonia Nevermind and I am here to remind you all that this is October and therefore, we have to address the fact that there is a holiday that is coming up that MUST be celebrated properly! At the end of the month, Halloween will be here and to let that pass by without any sort of party would be devastating to the morale of this world.
To remedy this before it becomes an issue, I would like to have a party on October 31st. Everyone attending must wear costumes and be ready to watch lots of scary movies, play games, and eat appropriate foods.
[From just off-screen there's the sound of another voice clearing his throat, as if humbly requesting to interject.]
It might be best to inform them of the festivities happening earlier in the month first, Sonia.
[Sonia's face turns into a scrunched up frown as she focuses the device to show Tokoyami's very distinct features.]
Which festivities? Your birthday party is the day before, yes? I was under the impression that we would be sending them invitations personally.
[Though he seems initially a bit put off at being abruptly placed on camera (one might say his feathers were ruffled) his composure recovers quickly, eyes closing as he folds his arms coolly ('coolly') over his chest.]
We're already here. We may as well do it all at once. Besides, aren't you forgetting that your birthday comes well before mine?
[There's a rather poignant pause before she replies, her voice a little less excited than previously heard.]
No, I have not. I was going to hand deliver invitations to my friends and acquaintances, but you are right that we are here. [The device swings back to the former princess.] On the 13th, all of my friends and acquaintances are invited to my home for a small get-together to celebrate the anniversary of my birth. Please wear your costumes.
[From just behind Sonia, Tokoyami's head can be seen leaning into view.]
I'll be holding a similar function for my own annual rite of birth on the 30th. Similarly, I urge those attending to arrive in costume. This is a dark season worthy of such efforts.
[Sonia Nevermind is in green. Tokoyami Fumikage is in purple. Responses can come from both of them.]

Neither here nor there.]
That's wonderful. And I suppose one would never have to worry about losing an earbud of having a side die suddenly. There are lots of practical uses for such a Quirk.
You are rather lucky.
no subject
[There's a bit of an almost incredulous laugh to her tone, with one of those jacks coming up to scratch her cheek a bit.
She's smiling a little, though; that's a good sign! She doesn't really do that much.]
I mean, I'd still have to worry about the earbud thing, I still use earbuds sometimes...
Though, well - I guess I don't have to worry about that with Yaomomo around, either? She could always just make a new pair...
A-anyway, I don't really have anything to compare it to aside from everyone else's Quirks, y'know? So I'm not really sure how "lucky" I really am.
Especially since you've got, like... Tokoyami with Dark Shadow, or Bakugou with Explosion.
no subject
[Of course, the fact that it didn't occur to ask at the time is also part of the reason why she doesn't know what Momo's Quirk is.]
I do not know who Bakugou is, but I know that Dark Shadow-san is rather unique, is he not? Fumikage-san and I have discussed the fact that your school is set to develop the powers of those blessed with Quirks to be heroes. My own high school was set up to develop the talents of its Main Course students, of which I was part.
no subject
[Even down to the legal paperwork... she doesn't sound bothered by that at all, at least.]
Yaomomo's is really impressive, though! You should ask her about it when you get the chance.
I don't wanna go off about it where everyone can see, you know, I don't wanna embarrass her. But... it's really cool.
What, uh... what "talent" do you have, though? I mean, if you're going to a school like that then it's gotta be something cool, right?
no subject
[She nods at Jiro's assessment of Momo's powers.]
I will have to speak to her personally about it then. I am rather intrigued now.
[When it comes to her, Sonia gives a slight smile and shrugs before bowing her head deeply.]
I am Sonia Nevermind, Princess of Novoselic and have been granted the title of Ultimate Princess.
no subject
[...]
Actually, wait, no. That makes sense with him. If anyone would, it'd probably be him.
But that's not really a talent, either, is it?
[Congrats on meeting Tokoyami's one friend who has zero filter and no expressions to help you parse if she's trying to be rude or not, Sonia.]
no subject
I suppose he did. We were dragged into a fortune tellers tent during the Sinless Fox debacle. It was there that we found we had a great deal in common.
However, I would agree that being a princess is not really a talent. The administration of Hope's Peak seems to think that I embody all of the virtues that are bestowed upon princesses and thus wished to study what exactly makes me such a "good princess". I'm not sure what they thought goes into being a princess, but I was not consulted either.
[She wasn't going to waste the chance to attend school in Japan though, so who cares?]
no subject
But at the very least, she's an attentive listener!]
That sounds pretty weird... that'd be like if someone got into UA because their Quirk sounded cool and they wanted to see it.
[A short pause with thought.]
I mean, knowing UA, that's probably happened at least once. But still, the concept's kinda weird, isn't it?
What can you do that other princesses can't? There's gotta be something, right?
no subject
I'm not absolutely certain there is. I have no special powers. Everything I know and can do has been a lifetime of study and hardwork. I know that my country is the last absolute monarchy and the line has been unbroken for the last thousand years. No family has ruled that long without breaks in the leadership.
Holding the title of Ultimate Princess is supposed to be a signal that what I do and feel for my country is what every princess is to strive for. Allegedly.
no subject
So rather than having any special skills that other princesses don't have, you're the Ultimate Princess because you're the spitting image of what the world thinks a princess should be.
Sounds complicated. And heavy. But I guess you wouldn't be the Ultimate if you couldn't handle that heaviness, either.
[For some reason, Jiro's expression is still as flat as ever. ... Though she gives off the air of being pensive somehow, despite that.]
... Have you ever thought about what it'd be like to be something else?
Like, put aside the whole princess thing and try your hand at being a fighter or something. Just the complete opposite of it all.
no subject
And, it can be a burden, but I am honored to have all of the responsibility of making sure that my people are well and happy to rest on my shoulders. I always have been. Their needs have always come before my own, after all.
[And the question of wanting to be anything other than what she is, she has to stop the thought of laughing and crying at the same time.]
Of course I have thought about what it would be like to be someone, anyone, other than who I am. It is human to do so. It is part of the charm of attending school on another continent. However, I am, and always will be, a princess. No matter what sort of selfishness I harbor.
