[ The video comes on - forgive the awkward shifting for a moment. He's not a pro with these cameras yet. ]

Wow - [ a small haha ] things got so serious on here, huh. Well, I'm hoping to relieve a bit of tension here.

So, I'm only asking teeny, tiny questions. And, I mean, you don't have to answer both.

Since I've just started really having dreams of my own here, tell me about your weird, interesting, or funny dreams. I dreamed I turned into a cat and got to sleep all day - It felt so [ his voice lifts ] real!

Also - tell me a joke. Or share something funny you saw. I don't know a lot of jokes, personally. So I'm here to hear from you.

And last, I need a... hoodie. I think that's what they're called. A really big one! I have a nice cape but a hoodie sounds handy!

[ now that's... a name. together with his appearance, it really makes her wonder. still, she's just uh. gonna sidestep the dreams thing for now. either way, she considers, tapping at her chin. ]

I'm not as good as some of the pro tailors here, but if I can get a pattern, I think I could do that...

[verytired]

Can you make it like - really big?

[Here have a very tired looking grey-haired teenager. He looks fashionable, or gaudy, dressed in what looks like all the jewelry a hot topic mid 2000s would supply. Heed his advice? Or not.] Miwako is a fashion designer here. I'm sure she could make you a hoodie you'd love.

As for a joke:

[He clears his throat, and with the most deadpan expression and tone]

I just found out I'm color blind. The news came completely out of the yellow.

[verytired]

Wow - do you need a nap? Might I suggest burying yourself in blankets for a few days?

[ Anyway -- ]

Miwako, that's her full name, then? I'll reach out to her. See if she'd be interested in something like that. I don't really care about fashion. Just comfort.

But that's a really good joke. I like it~ [ small hum ] Very clever. Good delivery. People don't tell a lot of jokes where I'm from. No one there is particularly funny.

[bakudan_bambino]

Hm? No. Nice as that sounds. I woke up after sleeping for an entire month and I've been sleepy ever since.

[He just can't sleep well. Maybe he should invest in a potion that will knock him out and keep him asleep.]

It won't hurt if it looks good as well though, right? Yeah you can reach out to her here or just edit your network post. Either way, she'll definitely want you to be comfortable and fashionable.

I've got another. [Yay dad jokes!]

Don't you hate it when people answer their own questions? I do.

[He grins and then stretches. Gokudera's sitting on a couch, and then on the back of it is an entire leopard, just idly resting against him, long tail tapping against his arm.]

[verytired]

How are you still tired after a month? You need a really good night's sleep.

[ He's a little disappointed that his normal skills aren't here. He can help! ]

Yeah, yeah. I'll just ask her directly. I'm not good enough with these phone things to even think about editing anything.

[ Everything is weird, magical, and ancient Greece at home. ]

That one's pretty good. Admittedly, I don't know many jokes. I've not been around very many funny people. Thanks for sharing, though.

[bakudan_bambino]

I guess because I was time-traveling in my sleep. It didn't feel restful cause my body changed and I woke up very different from when I went to sleep. Yeah, probably. I'm sure I could buy a potion or something to help.

[By the sound of it, Gokudera is not making that anywhere close to his highest priority.]

She should respond pretty quickly, but if she doesn't, don't take it to heart. Miwako works several jobs, so rest assured she will apply herself fully to whatever she makes.

[He nods.]

You're welcome. I don't make jokes very often, so it's good to know those landed well.

[verytired]

Were I home, I could have helped you with that. But an alchemist is definitely the type of guy you're searching for.

[ He's not going to chew anyone out because he doesn't like to be chewed out himself, but he did notice. ]

I like to take long naps, so I probably won't even notice however long it takes. To be honest.

They did. Everyone is pretty serious, so a joke is always great to break the tension.

[ Sure -- that's why. ]

[whirlwindthrust]

Why are we so interested in dreams?

[verytired]

I'm the god of sleep where I am from. Sleep and dreams. Sometimes nightmares, too.

Plus, I haven't had a dream of my own for a long time before getting here. I spent all my time in others. Surely, though, you weren't asking for personal details.

[ He lets out a small hah. He's not shy about who he is. ]

So - Curiosity! I'm a very curious man.

[whirlwindthrust]

[ Considering Xiao... Has been known to devour dreams? He's curious about those "personal details." That's exactly what he had been inquiring about. ]

Dreams and nightmares often go hand in hand.

[ One can easily bleed into the other. ]

Though I suppose I was asking for such "personal details." Thank you for obliging my curiosity.

[verytired]

They do, they can. I'm about peace, though. I like people to be happy. I like my work a lot at home!

[ All of it, including the stuff that's not dream related. ]

Always, anytime! Of course. I never mind [ heh ] answering questions can be fun.

[whirlwindthrust]

Does that mean you feed more off of peaceful dreams than nightmares?

[verytired]

I don't know if feed off of is the right word here. After all, they're not lunch and I'm not powered by them. Think of it as my domain. It's mine.

[rediscovering]

i cant remember how the joke starts but my uncle's favorite joke about tea is pretty funny, the punchline goes like
"leaf me alone, im bushed!"

[ Nailed it. ]

[verytired]

It's a pretty good pun. Usually I recommend telling the joke before the punchline, though.

[rediscovering]

but i dont remember it

[ Uh, he already made that disclaimer. :| how do jokes ]

[verytired]

I know, and there was a real, sincere attempt.

I can say I appreciate your effort.

I can honestly say I'm baffled, though, I have no idea how a joke like that would start.

[rediscovering]

then i guess we can agree on that, ha

[ See, he can joke, he just can't tell jokes... ...barely, but it counts. ]

[verytired]

I have a pretty low bar.

[ it's so low it's in hades -- ]

But people seem to like puns, and yours were tea-riffic.

[happyberry]

[ A girl with pastel pink hair in twin buns wearing a long-sleeved striped shirt and jean overalls is on the camera, smirking self-satisfied with a... ...very wholesome joke. ]

"Ouch! I love you."

"Ouch! I love you, too. Ouch!"

...And such was the story of the two lovestruck porcupines, heh~

[verytired]

I like it. Porcupines are pretty cute, too.

[ That wasn't the point of the joke, but here he is. ]

[happyberry]

They are, aren't they! Have you ever heard the noises they make? Miwako saw a video, it was mind-blowing — like a cartoon...! Look, look!

[ She goes so far as to go find the video she'd seen again to share this groundbreaking discovery. ]

[verytired]

I now have heard. They're squeaking! I don't know what a cartoon is, but I'm a fan of porcupines. Don't pet them, though. They're prickly.

[happyberry]

I've never seen a porcupine in real life. They don't live where I live... except in like zoos. But that doesn't count.
