[There is a beep, and Karakael glances up, registering that his thinkhive has begun to record without his consent. He looks well rested and slightly amused, despite his tangled hair and battered mask.]
I had wondered how long it would take before it noticed. This place tends towards voyeurism at the strangest times. But I suppose I should call myself lucky – we seemed to have missed that silly Earth-love holiday, and escaped the inevitable virus.

...There was some kind of virus, I assume?

[Kefka wanders in on-camera. People in the know will recognize his ball outfit, albiet rather crumpled; his hair is down and he's sans make up]
Didn't you check earlier? There were some killer love cupcakes everywhere! [beat] I may have blown up the ones here.

[Karakael grins] Oh? Thank you. And here I thought you would have enjoyed the chaos.

What, and let you get distracted? [Kefka wags his finger] Only one thing's allowed to put you under a spell here and that is me.

[That gets a laugh]'ta Heng. You've certainly won me over. Protecting me from evil cupcakes and all. The community shall just have to try harder, if it wishes us to fit its mold.
[He turns back to the camera, and taps it lightly.] That being said, do be a dear and give the adults some privacy. There is a far more interesting holiday coming up, and I -we- have things to do.

[Kefka just wiggles his eyebrows at the community, grinning like the cat that ate the canary.]
Problem, community?
[Apparently not, for the video cuts out obligingly, but not before catching Karakael ruffling the younger man's hair affectionately.]

The community will listen to you?

[masked_god]

Not always. But my personal computers will.

[bonywings]

Of course. I should get computers as good as that.

[sandinmyboots]

It realized that doing otherwise would create a losing battle, ha ha ha....

[bonywings]

I should remember that.

[createswithink]

Looks like you didn't need the cupcakes.

[masked_god]

Oh, is that what they did?

Sorry to disappoint, but no matter what it looks like, nothing particularly interesting happened.

[createswithink]

....Oh.

Well, it sure looks like you two are good friends.

[sandinmyboots]

Even if I were interested in that sort of thing, I wouldn't need a cupcake to get it started. And stop talking about me like I'm five!

[I-IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S CAPABLE OF POSITIVE EMOTIONS OR ANYTHING, BAKA]

[createswithink]

It's pretty clear you can't make the right decisions on your own. That's why you need friends.

[yacantdoitkid]

Awww fuck I'm gonna heave.

[sandinmyboots]

Go away, Jecht. No one here wants you.

[yacantdoitkid]

Thank fuckin' god

[masked_god]

My apologies. Was there something unpleasant in the video?

[yacantdoitkid]

Unpleasant? Nah. Fucked right up.

[sandinmyboots]

Oh! Scrooge!

[sandinmyboots]

Don't panic, it's not what it looks like!

[heavenlyhome]

My, I've never know the community to be so obliging. It seems that it respects you both, to listen.

[masked_god]

Perhaps we have merely bored it by accepting its chaos so often.
