Accidental Video [Open]

[wyldghost]

[There's a loud clatter and the screen turns on. The feed is pointed straight up at the sky in some alley, before a ten-year-old boy's dirt-smudged face with white hair and blue eye's appears off center, looking worried. He sits down cross-legged on the ground, picks up the communicator, and now it's visible that he's wearing a very oversized (like several xl large adult sized) gray t-shirt like a tunic or dress with shorts and sneakers.]

Oh no! Kaiba-rhya's gonna kill me! Did I break it?

[He moves the screen really close to his face so he can look at the communicator but nothing looks wrong..? But..? He doesn't know? The screen really looks weird!]

Hello? Box? Are you okay?

[ooc: If anyone responds in text, they'll be able to hear the text being read aloud by the communicator to the boy.]

[ It's a good thing this isn't set to video, because it might be a disturbing sight to see Ann leaning in to press an appreciative kiss against Seto's cheek. Just a silent thank you for dropping the subject, even if an apology wasn't issued. ]

Yeah, no problem! Oh, you can just call me Ann, by the way. Yeah, I'm sure he was, but you were just playing, right? So, no harm, no foul! It wouldn't hurt him to lighten up a little bit, regardless.

Kyoko Mogami... [ She mumbles it automatically; manners are still important when you're flustered! ] And yes! I really was just teasing a little! That would have been a pretty lame way to actually bully someone.

It's nice to meet you, Mogami-san. [ How many times has she told Seto that you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar? Too many to count. She worries about him and his... inability to be friendly sometimes. So, damage control time it is. ] Agreed... then again, it was pretty creative! Er, from what little I caught while I was cleaning. Do you have siblings at home?

Nice to meet you!! And "Kyoko" is fine! [ Only fair if she's supposed to call her Ann!

Creative feels like a generous assessment to Kyoko, but she just laughs a little, sheepish. ]

Oh, no--I'm an only child. And now that I think about it, the only kids I've been well-acquainted with are the type who'd never fall for something that silly, so maybe my expectations were a little skewed.

[menaretrash]

Kyoko it is, then!

[ Ah-hah. A kindred spirit in being sibling-less! ]

Same, honestly. I don't have any siblings either, and generally don't interact with kids. The last one... [ ...Had been a monarch and had tried to kill them. The whole thing had been pretty sad, so, she doesn't bother to finish that sentence. ] I think it was cute... I'm afraid Tiriaq is a little... gullible at the moment. He doesn't seem like he's very well versed in technology, and I don't know a whole lot about him or where he comes from just yet. But I do know he's super adorable!

[ Kyoko does blink when that sentence trails off and never comes back, but it doesn't feel like the kind of thing she ought to chase. ]

He is a pretty cute kid. [ That had been part of why she was tempted to play with him in the first place! ] But... next time, I think I'd better make it even more obvious that I'm teasing.
