Video

[The video that suddenly pops up shows part of a tree and a bit of grass at first. Then a large Spheal fills the picture.

A Spheal in smoky eye shadow and as much lips as Lust managed to draw on with liner and lipstick. He looks immensely pleased with himself, and greets the viewing audience at large with a long, low, happy sounding 'spheeeaaaaaal' as he shows off the fancy face paint his trainer has been kind enough to let him wear again.

It takes all of a handful of seconds before Lust realizes what Guttle's up to, and she rushes in to grab her gear. She image shifts and wobbles for a moment before Lust's own face is visible.]

Guttle, what are you doing? Is this on?

[Yes. Yes it is. Her gaze shifts off screen, to give Guttle an exasperated look.]

And broadcasting to everyone, I see. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[Back to the screen.]

Don't anyone encourage him.

That's why I'm trying to help you.

You're more than this, Scar. You're more than just anger and frustration. Just calm down.

[Silence, for a moment. These stupid devices are a curse as much as they are a blessing.

He wishes, not for the first time, she weren't an entire region away, right now. But, as usual, his words contradict his thoughts.]

You shouldn't.

Maybe so. But I'm still going to.

You know how I am.

Yes, a damn fool.

Are we living in glass houses now?

I'm no more foolish than you. At least what I do comes from a place of hope.

[Envy came in here to laugh about the goofy seal wearing makeup. Instead he found this.]

So. Uh.

Not sure if you realize it, but this conversation is public.

[And it is now to the point where even he realizes that someone should probably step in.]

....That's impossible, Scar always locks our conversations!

[...]

Wait, how often does this happen?

[CLEARLY SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LOCK THIS SO HE'S DOING IT.]

What, that we talk?

[Lust you just admitted it wasn't actually talking!]

I don't know.

[Suddenly she's very sheepish and uncomfortable.]

No, that you...that.

[He's gesturing with his hands, not that she can see it. Wow this is worse than he thought it was.]

I don't know, nevermind.

That's how we talk.

It wasn't supposed to be public!

I know it wasn't. I could tell.

That's why I said something.

[He's not even touching "that's how we talk" right now because that's just kind of horrifying.]

You could have said something sooner!

God, we were making such good progress...

[At the end there. Sort of. What counted as good progress for them.]

I was hoping you'd realize!

[...good progress. You guys.]

I guess you can...always hope that most people don't get curious about other people's conversations.

Did it sound like a conversation where I was paying attention to anything else?

I doubt anyone cares to listen to the pair of us beating our heads together over and over.

[...Oh, hell. He's always careful to lock everything in which they speak, how could he have been so stupid?!

Because it had started about the damn seal.

Aaand with a click, Scar is gone. You will find him with his head buried in the sand, not saying a word.]
