[ the feed comes on to show a boy with very tall hair and a much shorter girl with scratches on her face over her eye, one looking rather cheerful and the other less so. ]

Hi hi hi everyone, I have an important question. [ he holds up a finger, tilts his head as if a thought had just occurred to him. he's so preoccupied he was going to launch himself into his spiel without even introducing himself. ] I'm being rude. I am Henry Cheng, and we were wondering —

[ the not so tall and in fact very short girl interrupts. ] We're looking for someone we know! [ she pulls a little face, looking over at Mr. Henry Cheng. ] A few people, actually. [ okay, maybe that was a little rude. she murmurs something unintelligible and takes a step back. please, proceed. ]

And that was my lovely friend Blue. [ he gestures with a flourish toward her, shoots her a wink, absolutely unbothered by the interruption or her outburst. ] As she said, we are looking for someone. Multiple someones. I'm sure this place has a list of sorts, yes? A quick way to CTRL-F a friend's name and find out their status?

[ he looks a bit more serious, then, like underneath the cheerfulness he's exhausted. his next words are very earnest. ]

We would appreciate any info. Thank you.

[ in the background, Blue begins tromping away, shedding dead leaves for some reason, and can be vaguely heard to say 'maybe we should've mentioned Gansey by name' before the video ends. ]

Ridiculous magic bullshit, I'm afraid.

[oceiteres]

On accident? [ She is asking because "creating sentient toilets on purpose" sounds like a threshold of weirdness she really, really hopes to never cross? ]

[brushoff]

The toilets, yes. Some other incidents, no. [ cough Peter Pan and Satan cough ]

[oceiteres]

[ Ugh, please don't say those words aloud. Peter Pan and Satan. What is happening... ] Not by the same person who made the toilets, I hope.

[brushoff]

Thankfully, no. The person who made the toilets, Billy Kaplan, only has one major fuck-up so far. [ just you wait, Dorian. ] Satan's the one who almost caused the Apocalypse.

[ SORRY BLUE........ ]

[oceiteres]

[ Just you wait, Dorian. ]

Satan. Of course. Because who else would cause the apocalypse? [ Ha. Ha ha.

Where does she get off this train. ]

[brushoff]

He owns a church here because of course he does.

[ This is a very sympathetic look coming from Dorian because yeah, he knows this place is bonkers, have fun dealing with all the bonkers, Blue. ]

[oceiteres]

[ She deserves a vacation! Giant wasp demon, crazy black goo, kiss of death, superpowers, sentient toilets, and now Satan runs a church?

Sure, okay. ] Remind me to steer clear.

[brushoff]

He's actually not half bad once you overlook the whole Satan bit.

[ Though Dorian's face is a good 100% joking. ]

[oceiteres]

If you can overlook the whole Satan bit. [ That seems sort of pertinent. ]

[brushoff]

He helps finance my band, ergo I overlook the whole Satan bit.

[oceiteres]

[ She keeps doing this, but it's warranted every time: ] Satan. Finances your band.

[brushoff]

I know it's not an ideal situation. [ just roll with the bullshit Blue, that's the only way things'll get done. ]

[oceiteres]

[ She wants to roll right into a bed and not move for a week, actually. And then she'll get up and do everything. ] I guess it could be worse.

[brushoff]

I'll keep quiet on how it definitely can be worse. [ because it can. sorry blue. ]

[oceiteres]

[ She pulls a face. ] Thanks. It sounds like I'm in for an interesting time.

[ Can you see the 'yay' on her face? No? ]

[brushoff]

Never a dull moment here, [ his face is pure 'yeah, it sucks, I know.' ]

[oceiteres]

[ If this business had caught her on another day, that would actually sound kind of exciting. But not today, universe. Today, you get Blue Sargent stares into camera with look of moderate disdain. ] Well, I appreciate the heads-up. I guess.

[brushoff]

It's the least I can do, [ said with again, a shrug. ]

[oceiteres]

[ She can't muster another thank you, but she does nod. She might be all talked out, Dorian. ]
