[The blond looks a bit... distraught. And messy. Very messy in fact. And there are twigs in his hair as he records himself standing somewhere in front of the forest. Few scratches along his cheeks and neck as if he wrestled something- either some kind of animal or shrubs. And tears in his shirt.

He presses a fist to his mouth and closes his eyes, brows furrowed.]

I'm a free spirit that usually goes "Hey! Try everything once at least!"

But for the love of everything, don't drink that Dandelion-Apple-Banana milkshake that they have been selling.

A friendly word of advice. If you tell people not to do something, there are those who are going to get curious and try it anyway.

Especially if you don't tell them why they shouldn't. Just makes it all the more enticing, you know?

[dvine]

Oh, I'm aware of that! I do it myself sometimes, [he chuckles.]

But on the other hand, I didn't want it to turn out like "That guy knew stuff and didn't tell!" you know?

[leicesters]

Ahaha, that's true. Your desire to look out for the community is truly commendable, good sir. [his tone is teasing]

Sooo... Don't keep me in suspense here. What does it do?

[dvine]

I do what I can! This place is weird and odd creatures show up from time to time so wandering off into the forest because of a milkshake is not advisable.

Well, it makes you wanna go do your own thing. Like make stuff, collect stuff, or [he squints at the forest-] go hunt food for yourself.

[leicesters]

So you say, but you look like the one who got hunted. Just what were you trying to catch, anyway?

[dvine]

I was trying to catch a bunny, I think [which was probably a bad idea as they are protected in March] but I missed- and then tripped, slipped off the hill, and fell into this chasm? I think? Filled with some plant that has huge thorns. Took a while to get out. The effects seem to have worn off by the time I was out.

[leicesters]

...Wow. I'm actually kind of impressed. It takes a special kind of talent to fail that hard.

I'm also curious what would happen if someone already self-sufficient drank it. Maybe it'd have no effect and they'd act the same as normal?

[maybe they should find a volunteer... for science. magical science.]

[dvine]

Ouch. Fair, but ouch.

I'm just a basketball player, not a survivalist. Never had to survive IN the forest longer than ten minutes. I'm lucky something worse didn't happen.

Maybe.
I think they'd feel compelled to go to the forest as I did. Only they'd be good at navigating it and won't fall into some shrubbery.

[leicesters]

...And maybe they'd actually catch a rabbit and get into big trouble with the powers that be.

I thought it might be fun to test, but on second thought, some things are just best left alone.

[dvine]

Yeah... getting hexed doesn't sound fun, at all. I'm glad I didn't catch the rabbit myself, I'd be thrown out of the house for having a curse and bad luck on me.

[Heavy sigh.]

[leicesters]

Well, you made out out of the forest in one piece, no cute little bunnies were harmed, and you got to warn everyone else about your dangerous brush with drink.

All's well that ends well... Sort of?

[dvine]

I guess so...

Now I only need to find my way back. [There's shuffle on the video as Kise looks around.] I need to find my way back to the cliffs and get a ride back to the city. I can't believe how I got here!

[He's not lost. Nope. The sinking feeling in his stomach is NOT him being lost.]

[leicesters]

Hmm... In those situations, it's worth using landmarks and the position of the sun to figure out where you are. Although, it might not help much if you're not sure how you got to wherever you are to begin with.

What kind of familiar do you have? Anything that might be able to help?

[dvine]

I think I'm somewhere close to that Archimedes guy that rents rides. Still, that's SO far away from where I'm supposed to be!

[Midorima will think he's ditching fixing up the new living quarters to go frolic in the woods.]

Her name is Vila. She's a fairy, I think? Of sorts? She uses illusions and wind magic and she's of NO help. She showed up, giggled at me once she saw I wasn't in mortal danger and just left.

[leicesters]

Ouch, that's cold. I thought familiars were supposed to help us, but I guess they're all just as different as people are.

[a pause while he racks his brain for other ideas...]

Hmm... Maybe Archimedes could send out a search party from where he is? I'd like to help, but I'm all the way over in Camelot, so I'm not sure you'd want to wait all that time to ride over there.

[dvine]

She helps when I'm in actual danger and she's protective of me when people threaten me or shoot at me. But otherwise, she's very whimsical and doesn't really help out with day-to-day stuff.

Oh, don't worry about her. She's familiar, comes and goes as she wants. I need to get to the rent-a-ride tho, it's starting to get cold.

[leicesters]

Right, I'd better stop distracting you when you should be focusing on finding your way. Um, good luck?

[don't get attacked by rabbits and fall into more ditches somewhere...]

[dvine]

Haha, nah it's fine. I shouldn't be THAT lost.

[Right? And Vila would help him find a way back if push came to shove... right???]

But thanks!
