fourth curse - pack mentality ☄ video; action

[kitsunemimi]

[ It's another beautiful spring day out in Prospero, and, you are treated to a kid's playground. But alas, where are the children? Won't anyone please think of the children? At least until a sing-songy, playful-yet-woefully-teasing voice beckons over the peaceful image on the feed: ]

--That's riiiiight! That blonde-haired, red-eyed man says he has candy, chocolate and ice cream in his pockets, and he said he won't share! My~, isn't that rude?!

[ The feed pans over to Gilgamesh, King of Mongrels Heroes, standing dumbfounded at the corner of the playground--WHEN SUDDENLY:



A mob of children make a mad dash for the blonde hero. ]

Zerrg ruuuuuush! Teeheehee~!

[ ...Oh joy. Gilgamesh was simply trying to enjoy a nice afternoon walk through the park because what else do kings do when they aren't trolling or working or anything else and besides he had been locked up inside a crappy jail cell for the past few days. BEING OUTSIDE WAS AMAZING TO HIM. So it kind of goes without saying that he wasn't really paying too much attention to his surroundings. You know, right until he hears the screams and laughter of an incoming ZERG children mob that promptly climb all over him attempting to pull on anything and everything in sight. ]

Gah! What the hell do you little brats think you're doing!? Get off of me this instant!

[ Why do people have to ruin people's days for no good reason? V/V comes running up after those kids. ]

Children! Please leave him alone, you shouldn't be rough with strangers!

[ And as an aside to the direction she thought Tamamo's voice came from: ]

That was mean.

[ The camera shakes with Tamamo laughing, the feed showing a displeased-looking V/V. ]

Niishiihii! A good king should show benevolence to his people, especially children, am I right--uuwahaugh!!--

[ Caster lets out a yelp, tossing the phone to the ground. V/V picks up the phone, dusting off the lens and continues filming, panning the camera over to Caster squatting on a large fence post with her own mob of children tormenting her. The kids can only resist ice cream and treats before their pack mentality childlike curiosity locks onto Caster's fox tail and ears, as there is a kid now pulling on her tail, while another one is tugging on her ears. ]

--Ow--Ouch! Children, tha--hyaaa!!----that's not a toy!!--NOO!! STOP DON'T LOOK UNDER THERE!!--

[ Caster cries out as one of the kids lifts up the front of her kimono flap, staring down between her legs....

Which, V/V pans the camera quickly to Gilgamesh.

Oh, but does that mean... Yes, good. There's only like three kids still on Gilgamesh--one on his shoulders, hooking his fingers into Gilgamesh's nostrils. Thankfully for Gilgamesh once most of the pack caught sight of FLUFFY TAIL AND EARS they rushed off to heckle the fox girl. The king wastes no time in dusting himself off before making a snide comment, still with dirty kid fingers plugged in his nostrils: ]

Yes, good! Play with the stupid fox girl, not me! She has the candy and treats!

...Ah, but what exactly are you doing with so many children, V/V?

I'm trying to look after them while the daycare manager is away, and that means not letting them just attack people.

Sorry, give me a moment.

[ She hands the phone to Gilgamesh and he brings it right back to the bedlam of Tamamo.

But alas, Tamamo is not there.

Where is she? Why is there a mob of children where Tamamo once stood? Where--ooh, wait, a hand emerges from the sea of children, quickly followed by Tamamo's head, taking a deep breath. Both of her ears are clutched by children and tugged rather painfully-looking. ]

I don't have any candy!! Seriously!! Geez!! Where would I even hide it with what I'm wearing?!?!

[ V/V's going to wade into the crowd of children, giving each one of them a Stern Look in turn.

The camera cuts out. ]


[[ OOC: Joint post between Tamamo, Gilgamesh, & V/V!! One, some, all may respond! Video or action tags are welcome! ♥ ]]

[Uhm... I don't... uh... what...]

...Do you three require any help?

action;

[kitsunemimi]

[ She'd love to reply.

Really.

But all Snake sees is a hand breaking free from the surface of kids.

It wants to give a thumbs up but it's waving frantically. ]

[king_of_heroes]

No, no. She's perfectly fine. Children love animals, right?

[ Hey, she brought this on herself. Gil ain't gonna help anytime soon. ]

[the_whitequeen]

[ Lacus comes over to the pack to return a lost little boy to the rest of his friends ... who seemed currently busy playing with the three people.

They seemed to be in trouble though. Lacus was not a stranger to handling kids, so she knows how difficult it was to watch over so many. ]

Excuse me, maybe I can be of help?

action; - 1/3

[kitsunemimi]

...

action; - 2/3

[kitsunemimi]

Why don't these children ever run out of energy? I certainly do love children, but at the expense of my poor tail? Oh, don't worry, you'll grow back to your full fluffiness!...

[ Tamamo casually pets her large tail held between her arms, though looking like it's been stomped on and treated rather poorly. ]

action; - 3/3

[kitsunemimi]

Ah. Yes, you can be of help, Master! Please distract the kids while I hop down from here!

Action

[yewbow]

[LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Comedy gold, really. He's just going to laugh at the awesome sight. Oh, Caster you stud.]

Action

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V is very disappointed in you.]

Stop that.

Action

[kitsunemimi]

Ah. Here to make fun of me, Green man? Go ahead and laugh.

[ Sounding rather annoyed... ]

[video]

[breatheinthefog]

...Weaponized mobs of children.

[video]

[heavenscorpse]

Don't try it.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

An interesting concept. Most mongrels would be unable to inflict harm upon such cute horrors.

[video]

[kitsunemimi]

Save meeeeeee--

[ A frantic Caster before the phone cuts off! ]

[lostherstrings]

[To Edel, the mob of children tackling Tamamo is more unusual than someone with fox ears and a tail. Seeing that she could use some help dealing with the children, Edel calls out in hopes of distracting them.]

Hello, there! Would anyone like to listen to a story?

[kitsunemimi]

[ Please.

Save.

Tamamo.

The flurry of children subsides briefly around Caster as she manages to crawl out from between one of the darling brat's legs--when her own big fluffy tail doublecrosses her, and brushes against the kid! Quickly the children are alerted to her harrowing escape as now Tamamo from her fours to her feet clamor over to and behind Edel, peering over her shoulders toward the kids. ]

Le-Let's listen to a story! It's story time!~

[Action]

[crouching_sin]

[... Oh now this is an amusing sight. But none of these idiots seem to know what the hell they're doing. So Naoya sighs, reaches into his jacket pockets, and pulls out some wrapped candies.]

They're both lying, children. They're actually over here.

[His tone of voice is rather gentle, actually. Shut up he's not a pedo he just has a sweet tooth.]

[Action]

[king_of_heroes]

[ Careful there, Naoya. The eyes of a hawk ranger God Gilgamesh are upon you. He really wouldn't put anything past you at this point. ]

[golden_witch]

[Beatrice noticed the commotion from the other side of the street. If it were just Gilgamesh under attack, she could possibly laugh it off, but V/V was struggling and her beloved Tamamo was getting buried and so she had no choice. After a short stop at the candy store, she would stroll into the park with a grand bag of goodies.]

Oh, look at all these darling children! Look at what auntie witch has brought for yoooou~! There's plenty for everyone but you have to promise to be goooood~ ♥

[She might be a troll regularly, but she's a troll that's very good with small children. Let her work her magic, guys.]

[king_of_heroes]

[ Really, Beatrice. Really.

I mean, these kids are probably the most ungrateful bastards around. They will take the candy and run and blow bubbles and stick it in your hair and all this other vile terrible crap. Or not. Maybe they are actually angels. But still. ]

Don't tell me you actually just bought all of that for them.

[not_the_dreck]

...

[What...]

...the hell did I just watch?

【 VIDEO 】

[heavenscorpse]

Some people making it hard for me to take care of children.

[Video]

[thanklesswork]

[Have a very amused or unamused Kid staring at the feed. He only recognizes one of them, but this is funny/strange enough to get his attention.]

Those are some...jumpy kids, there.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

They need naps.

[needsteaplz]

[Saori was out walking Sirius when the whole entire commotion started. She had to cover her mouth to stop herself from bursting out laughing at what the kids were doing to Gilgamesh.]

Oh my...Better help get those kids calmed down. What do you say boy, ready for some fun?

Kids, who'd like to play fetch my dog Sirius? It's okay, he's very friendly and loves to play!

[Sirius barks to get the kids attention and they all come towards them. Saori hands a ball to one of the kids.]

Everyone gets a turn, okay? Throw it as hard and far as you can now! No pulling his tail and ears now!

action

[heavenscorpse]

That's a great idea! Miss Saori is really nice, don't you think so?

[Nod nod.]

Action

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Sakurako comes running up to this mess waving.]

Hey! Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun! What game are you playing?

Action

[heavenscorpse]

They're not playing any good games right now.

action

[dancingdeath]

[ Can you listen to this pretty voice, she's singing to calm the kids and give Tamamo a nice distraction to run.

And it works. ]

action

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V thinks this is a very pretty song, and she stops to listen to it too.]

action

[nosecondstrike]

[ Uh, okay. This is Li Shuwen... being Li Shuwen. When did the get there to grab Tamamo and get the hell out of the way? Concealment of someone who is a cheater and performs this as a normal thing. ]

Are you well, Tamamo?

action

[kitsunemimi]

[ And just like that, Tamamo is tucked under Li's arm from around the waist, as if she were a sack of potatoes.

Tamamo squirms. ]

No way! The Assassin coming in to finish the job?!

[Action]

[theshiningone]

[Don't mind him taking a snap shot of Tamamo's little upskirt there and subtly puting the camera away.]

Those kids look like a handful.

[Action]

[kitsunemimi]

[ If Tamamo didn't have a hundred kids trying to tear her apart, she would have given you the scolding you deserve, bunny boy!!! But instead have fun with blue and white shimapan. Tamamo is going to try crawling away, but kids will be kids and are otherwise pinning the poor fox-girl to the ground. ]
