❧ 002 [video]

[shadowblends]

[When the TAB first flickers to life, all that's visible is an intricately scarred cheek with just the slightest peek of ivory fangs past blue lips. There's the faint sound of something shifting about and finally, Kurt comes into full view.

He's sitting on the edge of an old stone fountain, his tail swishing back and forth behind him, a grin plastered across his face.] I know very little about this holiday, but I've read a few things in an attempt to try and understand better.

[Meaning that he has forgone all the really romantic and couple-esque things about 'Valentine's Day' or whatever they would be calling it on Thisavrou.]

Giving chocolate to someone you like is traditional and I have more than a few friends and other people that I enjoy being around, so ... [He reaches over to pick up a small black box and pops the lid off of it, revealing the candy inside.]

Who wants some chocolate? [A soft laugh follows shortly after his inquiry as he replaces the lid and clutches the box to his chest, smile somehow broadening.]

I'm more than willing to deliver it, too.


(ooc: cw for anyone that decides to read the thread with kurt and j. [mentions of self-harm, internalized transphobia and ... self-loathing?])

[Lea blinks at the feed a moment--this kid is very blue--and then chuckles a little.]

I don't think we've met, but if you're giving away free sweets, I'm more than happy to take some off your hands. I don't really know much about this holiday either, only ever heard about it in passing, but I say any excuse to eat chocolate is a good one.

[Kurt instantly perks at the response, iridescent eyes flickering with elation, his tail beginning to lash almost wildly in the same manner.]

We haven't, but that doesn't mean you aren't welcome to some! I ... [A pause as he turns his head to look next to him, cheeks flushing indigo with embarrassment.] I bought a lot.

:D

[Lea can't help but stifle some amusement behind one hand. Hey, it's good to be enthusiastic about stuff, right? This boy doesn't seem too terribly bereft to be away from home, which is far better than the alternative, he thinks.

[Candy aside, he's a little intrigued. He's never seen anybody quite like this guy before, and far be it from Lea to turn down the opportunity to learn something interesting.]

Where are ya? I can meet'cha someplace; always happy to lend a hand to those overburdened with candy.

i'm SO behind in the kingdom hearts series and now i'm disappointed in myself

[shadowblends]

[He is the most enthusiastic, okay? Kurt prides himself on his ability to make people smile and his passionate attitude and quirky optimism really help with that. Sure, he's not thrilled about being taken away from his home, but ... he's hopeful.

Leaning a bit closer to the TAB, those golden eyes blink thoughtfully as he examines the male on the other side of the screen. Lea's equally vibrant eyes lined in red and crimson hair are rather intriguing to him; he's got streaks of blue throughout his own bangs, but the longer he looks at the camera, the more he's reminded of fire.]

Currently, I'm at my place of residence. We could meet at the Ingress Complex and I could bring you a couple of boxes?

well gosh there's only like 84 games in the whole series now, you really have no excuse, sheesh

[promises_to_keep]

[I'm on mobile at work now I'm going prose til I get home, hope you don't mind. formatting on mobile is a huge pain.]

Lea gives a nod.

"Sure, that's fine," he says, pausing a moment to think. "I only just got here a few days ago, but this device has a map and stuff, so I probably won't get lost."

Probably.

"If I'm not there in like an hour, though, definitely send out a search party," he adds with a grin, obviously kidding.

Mostly kidding.

"By the way, the name's Lea," he says then, giving a little salute. "And you are...?"

Dude, I am totally here for chocolate. You have any idea how long it's been since I had chocolate?

Wait. I can give it to myself, right? Because I am totally my own Valentine.

video (ofc you can be your own valentine, hunk ... ;w; that's what kurt's doing)

[shadowblends]

From the sound of your delighted tone, a long time? [Another laugh - light and airy, much like the one before.]

Of course you can! I'm giving it to you, so you can do whatever you please with it.

yessss valentine buddies!

[im_a_leg]

A really long time. Oh man, being here's been great for my stomach. A guy can only survive on space goo and alien tubers for so long, you know?

You're the best, man. Name's Hunk, by the way!

oh nooo it's cute (omg that icon /clutches chest)

[shadowblends]

Space goo and alien tubers? [He's never heard of such things.] Ja, I can imagine it's been nice to have normal food.

Not really, uhm ... Ach, it's nice to meet you, Hunk! My name is Kurt.

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Where did you get the candy, blue boy?

hello bb c:

[shadowblends]

Oh, hallo, miss J. [A short pause.] I bought them.

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

So you didn't make them yourself? [Now that's reassuring.]

Well, since you're in such sharing mood you can bring me some. I trust you know the way to my room?

[shadowblends]

No, I didn't. Homemade chocolates are not something I have attempted to make yet. [Thanks for the vote of confidence, J.]

I do, ja, but ... [He turns way from the camera, clearing his throat before bringing his attention back to J.] I'll be there shortly.

[brokeassgoing]

What, they're sellin' normal ones too? You had any yet?

voice;

[shadowblends]

I bought them this morning on my way back from job hunting. I've eaten a few from a box of my own.

voice;

[brokeassgoing]

And you don't feel weird or anything? Not even any diarrhea?

voice;

[shadowblends]

No, not at all. I feel completely normal.

[culver]

I like chocolate!

[shadowblends]

do you want some??? i have plenty!

text;

[culver]

Yes I would like that very much.
What kind of chocolates are they? It looks like they are different.

text;

[shadowblends]

wonderful, yes! i will put aside a box for you.
oh, there are milk, dark and white chocolates. some of them are filled with caramel, some of them with fruity flavored creme, and others that are just filled with more chocolate.
... i've eaten a whole box since i've bought them.

[Please, Nill, don't judge him.]

[Well... this was interesting. Last Varric remembered, this fellow was much smaller. In fact, if not for the chocolate being offered, he might have thought it was another man altogether. That, and the speech patterns were still similar.]

Shit, that you Spades? You got big.

[shadowblends]

[Kurt's usually pretty good at identifying people, so it's not really a surprise for him to perk at the familiar voice, vibrant eyes glittering with enthusiasm.]

Hallo, mister Varric! Oh, ja, my body is back to normal now.

[neverheardofhim]

You didn't tell me you were a grown adult. Just figured you were a smart kid. [Whatever, whatever, Varric doesn't look too perturbed by the whole thing. He grinned at the young man, just as personable as ever.] How did you like those chocolates?

[shadowblends]

... I suppose I didn't, huh? My apologies if it seemed like I was misinforming you. [Thankfully, the man on the other side of the screen doesn't look too upset, but ... had he said smart? Varric thought he was intelligent?

That comment and the mentioning of the chocolates he'd gotten from Varric back when they'd been near the caves makes him smile again.] They were great! Didn't last as long as I thought they would, but I decided to share some.
