Name: Louis, Fie
Date: 1/2
Format: Video

[ The camera comes on and in it is Louis in front of Shinjiro's house. The front door is behind him in the frame. He has a hoodie that is definitely way too big for him, since he is swimming in it. It's not his. The hood is up and covering the top of his head and his ears. ]

So we've been keeping busy redecorating Shinjiro's house. Oh, he's not home right now, so I guess this is a surprise for him and his --

[ His attention shifts off screen for a moment. And he moves the camera towards who has stolen his attention.

Fie, who is dressed in a similarly oversized hoodie in red adds: ]

Well, it's your house too now.

[ He has a couple of notes: ]

Yeah, so it is, isn't it? As it is also my house, I'm going to replace some pieces of furniture that were a bit worn out.

[ A pause, then, he shifts, turning so his back is towards the road, where several pieces of furniture are: couch, end table, the dining table, a couple of mattresses. Immediately, they go up in flames. It looks to be a very controlled fire. Magic is great, isn't it? ]

It's probably better if we just burn everything. Start fresh. Is that a thing people do? I mean, it's too late anyway, but it's good to start. Don't worry - the fire is magic and will burn out when it's done it's job.

[ He moves, so he and Fie are both in frame. He tilts his head towards her. ]

Maybe we'll burn a little sage, too. I heard that it can help. What do you think, Koro?

[ Yes, he's asking the dog what he wants instead of asking Shinjiro. That's just how it goes. ]

But, on that note, I need to buy some replacement furniture as soon as possible - today, possibly. I've never had to replace it before and this was kind of impulsive. Yes, that means I'm looking for recommendations.

Oh - and if anyone wants to roast marshmallows before this fire is out --

[ Fie, notes: ] Bring your own.

[ And it cuts out. ]

[UM... WHY THIS?!]

You guys... didn't ask first at all... did you?

[If this were a JRPG you'd see the sweatdrop over her forehead.]

Well... you're probably going to need a lot of help cleaning all that up and replacing it so... what... kind of look were you hoping for?

[sylphid]

[Oh hey, sup Towa? Fie waves a little.]

He said before he didn't care about the stuff, so we're okay. [Probably.]

Not sure, that part's up to Louis.

[overworker]

[SIGH.]

W-well... I suppose if that's true... as long as we can get it replaced, it shouldn't be too much trouble...

[But why did you do it before you had a plan???]

...but you really don't have any idea?

[sylphid]

Not my call. I'm just here to help.

["Help."]

Did you wanna come over for marshmallows?

[overworker]

Well... I'd like to help you guys if I can so...

[If you can't beat them--]

Sure. Marshmallows sound nice.

[sylphid]

Just talk to Louis about decorating. He's forbidden me from helping.

[A very smart call.]

Bring anything else you might wanna burn. To eat or not.

[rightfoot]

I don't have to ask.

[ Louis just decides. ]

More clean and simple, rather than drunk hobo.

action, kinda caught on video

[sylphid]

[Fie lightly smacks Louis.]

He's not drunk.

[rightfoot]

[ Nudges her. ]

He's not but his style is.

[sylphid]

As long as we're clear.

[She holds out a bag.]

Do deer eat marshmallows?

action/video combo

[rightfoot]

I mean... we can. I don't really eat many sweets, though.

[ But he'll take it anyway because, why not. ]

Though, this is the right time for marshmallows.

[sylphid]

Yep. Ever had them roasted? They're good.

[She looks around and picks up a nearby stick to offer to him.]

Try it.

[rightfoot]

I haven't.

[ But, he'll do what he sees, and takes the marshmallow, shoving it onto the end of the stick. Into the fire it goes until it is on fire.

Then he takes it out, blowing it, before tasting it.

This - well.

It looks so awkward. Have fun, Fie. Enjoy your laugh. ]

[sylphid]

[A big smile crosses her face, but she doesn't laugh. Not out loud.

It's adorable.]

What do you think?

[rightfoot]

[ He is trying.

To finish.

Eating it.

He swallows it after a few moments. ]

It's a little difficult, but it tastes good.

[overworker]

[...yeah, this is probably about what she should have expected.]

I... suppose not.

[Focus on refurnishing--]

W-well... You could take it in a modern direction-- it's all about simplistic style with sharp, clean lines and simple colors.

[rightfoot]

[ He's the bossiest deer here. Only deer that walks and talks like this. Shh. ]

Then modern is exactly the way to go. With my moving in and that he needs new things, this seemed like the perfect time to update.

[overworker]

[A deer shaped like a friend or a friend shaped like a deer-- it's all the same probably.]

Okay... then... what kinds of colors do you like best? It doesn't have to be just one, but we might be able to pick some that will work well together and suit you both.

[rightfoot]

Blacks, greens, purples, blues, reds.

Uh. None of which I'd use to decorate. I think we'll probably stick to neutral and dark colors of things.

[overworker]

Well... black can work well with red or even purple. But different tones of tan or beige could also work with a lot of those. Since everything else in the house is easier to work into the color and style of your furniture, it's just something to keep in mind.

Black or beige could be good to start with for furniture. Or even a silver or gray color. Something simple that you can accessorize around.

[rightfoot]

Grey is a good idea.

[ He'll cling onto that. Grey, and purple, and red. Yep. This is going to be the house now. ]

It goes with almost everything.
