Video Post

[The video feed shows Lust sitting on the kitchen floor, in her black sweats, hair pulled back. She's been practicing her solo act with Guttle, and it's the ridiculously large and food loving Spheal that is on her mind at the moment.]

...so how large is too large for a Spheal?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well....rolling, I suppose.

It's part of our circus act, I balance on top of him while he rolls around. He loves it.

He also makes the perfect yoga ball at this size....

A... circus? Do you mean the circus they have in Goldenrod city?

Mmhmm. I've become a circus performer. My brother Envy and I have a trapeze act.

Oh, that's cool! Jimmy talks about the circus sometimes, so I guess you know him too, then.

[There was only one circus in the region... she thought.]

Oh yes, I know Jimmy. Not very well, but we've met. Enthusiastic young man.

I just joined recently.

Yeah, he's pretty... excited, isn't he?

[About a lot of things, or nothing in particular.]

I've been to that circus a few times, it looks like a great place to work at, if you have the skills they need, that is.

I enjoyed the show I took in before I joined. It's quite the production.

Lucky for me, they needed a trapeze act and my brother was interested.

[A slow nod.] Well, if you're able to do stuff like that.

For now, at least.

[Human bodies wear out, after all, but physically she's young and fit and still retains some faint lingerings of her homunculus agility and speed.]

You should come see the show when you have a chance - I wonder if I can get you tickets...

It sounds like a hard job to do. You'll have to stay fit.

[She could do it, no problem. If she had her abilities still, that is.]

Actually, I was thinking about joining a while ago. I don't think I could do it in my current state.

I've started yoga. I enjoy it.

Oh? Why not? Unless that's too personal a question, you aren't under any obligation to answer.

O-oh? That's great. I think it's pretty relaxing, I'm glad my suggestion helped.

Why? Well, you see... [she shrugged. Information like this... didn't really matter here, did it?] I used to have a bunch of different abilities. I could see infrared, use poisons, I was stronger and faster then I am here. I could even breath fire.

[...She chuckled.] That sounds silly, doesn't it?

It did, thank you.

[Lust only nods when Veronica explained.]

No, that doesn't sound silly. I had beyond human abilities before I came here, too. I still miss some of them.

[that drew a breath out of her. Thankfully, this world was more accepting of such things then home.]

R-really? Like what? I mean, you don't have to ask, of course!

[She's bad at this.]

No, it's fine. I've seen no reason to keep any secrets about what I am. Was.

[Especially with others who weren't entirely human back in their worlds, either.]

I was faster, and stronger, and close to indestructible. My body healed itself immediately of any damage it suffered. That was very useful. I'm still fast and strong and agile, but only in the way skilled and fit humans are.

...I guess.

[She was required to always keep secrets in the past. That. was a very different way to think.

And, hmm. Interesting.]

I... knew someone like that, back home. I have many of those same abilities, too.

I had to back home. Here...no one cares. It's refreshing. There are a number of us who were different in some way, before coming here.

Do you miss them?

... I know how that feels, being different.

[siiigh.]

Do I... W-well... I guess I do. She was rude as hell, though, and liked to mess with me and my sister. I still can't believe we were related.

It can be very lonely.

That's family, isn't it?

Yeah.

[The words stung a bit, but only because they were so true.]

My family is like me, too. But... different, you know?

But you aren't alone anymore, are you?

I understand. My kin are the same - the same, but slightly different. Of the same order but different breeds, I suppose.

I am, right now. No one I know is here.

Exactly.

Sometimes losing the old simply makes way for the new. You have friends and those that care about you here, don't you?

...Yes.

[The hesitation in Veronica's answer seemed to surprise even her.]

I've been here for a few months, and I think there's people here that I can call my friends. [She smiled crookedly.] And they probably think that too.

That's what matters. It doesn't matter if the friends and family you find here came from home or not. Only that you find them.
