[The video feed cuts in on an unfairly pretty teenage boy who appears to be...sparkling. How is he adding those effects in a live feed? He flashes a winning smile with an edge of mischief at the camera and leans in, one hand swaying in a calculated, alluring motion.]

Good morning, imPorts. I thought I should get to know you since it look like I'll be stuck here for a while. So tell me about yourselves. What makes you tick? What makes you interesting? [Rather, what information will lend itself to good pranks in the future?]

I'll start us off. I'm Kaoru Hitachiin, son of a world famous fashion designer in my home world. I'm not half as good as her yet, but I hope to get there one day. [He softens his smile and fades the sparkling away while he gestures encouragingly at the camera.] And you?

Oh! And if you've seen me around anywhere, could you let me know?

[???]

I just saw you. It was on a pretty good network post? This one.

[crueltobekind]

But have you seen me before the pretty good network post?

[fehus]

I have not. I think I'd remember the son of a world famous fashion designer, who sparkled like a YA vampire?

Sorry, dude.

[garotted]

Is this what Twilight vampires look like? You're my expert.

[vanto]

Fashion designer?

[crueltobekind]

Yes, a designer of fashion. She designs for all sorts of the world's elite. Actors, musicians, politicians... You get the idea, right?

[vanto]

I do but you look a little... young.

[ Please try not to cry too hard at the fashion nightmare that appears on the video feed. Shinjiro's beanie is firmly placed on his head, with his longer brown hair peeking out from underneath. There's a brick wall behind him, and the distant sounds of cars and people chattering can be heard in the background. ]

...Is your power.... sparkling?

[ Yes, that was his takeaway from this video post. ]

[crueltobekind]

[The question is enough of a distraction from the fashion disaster for now. Kaoru laughs and gestures grandly, setting off another round of sparkles floating around him.]

It's the best part of my power.

[axeboyfriend]

Well, that's definitely.... a great way to emphasize....

[ He's at a loss, honestly. ]

[ Unfairly pretty teenage boys unite? Although... he tilts his head with a little hum. ]

I'm Hajime Shino... I'm an idol back in my world. I don't really have anything special, but, I can speed-read?

But how are you... [ He makes a little sparkle motions, waving his hands around his face. ] Is it a filter?

[crueltobekind]

[Kaoru sits back in his computer chair, and the sparkles are replaced with some oddly dramatic lighting that makes him look far more serious than the situation calls for. It might look intimidating if not for the amused smirk he can't manage to shake.]

More like a super power.

[looseleaves]

[ ??? Whoa... ]

So that's Hitachiin-san's super power...

You're capable of changing the mood really easily.

You've got a little something in your eye there.

[it's the sparkles.]

[crueltobekind]

[Kaoru keeps the video up on his end and makes a grand show of wiping his face. A flurry of sakura petals pass between him and the camera like a scene change, and when they pass the sparkles are gone.]

Did I get it?

[deadtective]

Looks like it. But it seems like it's a high pollen day wherever you are, so you might wanna check if you took an allergy pill already.

[ghoulking]

You have the power to sparkle?

[ WELL. ] I guess it's not that weird, I've seen one that was to create flower petals, but... [ it's kinda useless, no? ]

[crueltobekind]

I can actually create flower petals too! Among other things. I wouldn't give away all my secrets right away.

[ghoulking]

[ what are you a shoujo character? ]

Is that so? Is the list long?

[itistolaugh]

Oh, are you worried about the clone thing? That got cleared up months ago.

Great lighting, by the way.

[crueltobekind]

Not at all! I'm actually looking for my robot double. I haven't seen him since I got here, but I thought there might be a chance that someone else has.

And thank you. I do try.

[itistolaugh]

Tell ya what, every time I see you or nearly-you I'll check for robot.

[ either this dude is a vampire, or Iris is seriously seeing things. ]

Gotta be honest with you: the sparkles are kind of overkill. [ . . . ] But if you're a fashion designer, I guess you could make it work.

[crueltobekind]

Fashion designer and now a model! According to the job they assigned me anyway. I'm sure the sparkles will come in very handy.

[eloquentness]

You'll certainly dazzle your audience. [ she laughs - she couldn't help it!! ] What company are you gonna model for?
