Please stop you're scaring me [video]

[corruptedsave]

[Elections? Meh, they're kind of over that stuff, especially since they're pretty sure they're not going to win.

Holidays? They were surprised by some of the gifts they had gotten but the one that made them the happiest was the gift from Santa. Which they are currently twirling the knife around their fingers and anyone who can sense a murderous intent?

That knife is full of it.]

About time. [Golly, their voice sure sounds a whole lot more menacing there. Then Chara clears their throat.]

Anyway, how was everyone's Gryf--Christmas, or other holiday thing? Did you get something super special, and if so what was it? I mean, if you don't mind sharing that information.

[And while they're asking these questions? Still twirling that knife in a most dangerous way in their hand, and yet they haven't been cut.]

[Welp Alessia might be a little creeped out but she's ignoring that right now.]

I got the fidget spinner my brother Raphael got me for my sixteenth birthday.

[She holds up said fidget spinner, dark blue and sparkly.]

[corruptedsave]

[It's not like Chara is doing anything dangerous with the knife.]

That's neat, it looks like it's covered in stars.

[They refuse to ask what a fidget spinner is, they shall not look a fool.]

[aketianrunaway]

[It was the voice at the beginning more than anything, but she's not going to get into that.]

Yeah, stargazing was kind of my thing when I was a teenager, guess this reminded him of it.

[corruptedsave]

[Yeah best not, as Chara will deny the voice ever happened.]

Do you still star gaze or didja grow out of it?

[k2so]

[Kay is wearing the long ass scarf Chara got him. Even wrapped around his neck, the ends brush the floor. He's really happy with it.]

It wasn't bad and thank you for the present. You seem very comfortable with that knife. Are you interested in cooking?

[corruptedsave]

Well that's good, and I'm glad you like it. It took me forever to make it.

[That and even if it's too long they're glad Kay likes it.]

Cooking? Well... I've tried baking [Knife goes around their fingers again.] but I'm not that great at it.

[k2so]

I really do! I never got presents in all my years living in my Galaxy, I appreciates all the gifts I get here. You have talent for knitting.

[Said the droid who also knits terribly.]

Oh I'm sure that Cassian could teach you a few recipes if you want. We have some very originals ones where we come from.

[A lot involve blue milk, Chara, don't trust Kay's taste.]

[corruptedsave]

I've done more than just scarves before. I knitted a sweater once.

[Rude, they knit way better than Kaytoo.]

Oh? Is it anything like that cook book that's out?

[They've eaten snail pie. They would totally trust Kay's taste, or lack thereof.]

[k2so]

Oh those are next level.

[A blind orc would knit better than him, that's not too hard.]

Cassian never cooked those dishes at home but perhaps it's because he was saving them for his cooking book. [Book that Kay had no idea it existed before Emerald posted about it.] But yes, if you want to?

[corruptedsave]

They're only next level if you have thumbs instead of fingers.

[Cocky little shit that they are, they had to say it.]

Huh, well... Only if it's okay with Cassian. Since it's not polite to just offer someone else to teach a thing without, you know, them also agreeing?

[k2so]

[Kay raises one of his hands. It's a pretty big one, even if his fingers are very well crafted.] It's not so easy with metal digits.

[Eh, that's okay. Kay would brag too if he were in their place.]

True, true. I'll ask him but I'm sure he won't have a problem with it.

[Poor Cassian, Kay is always making assumptions.]

[younghero]

[Link never goes anywhere without a sword, so he's not too concerned about the knife. He holds up a wooden shield with a red design carved into it.]

I got my first shield from back home! It kinda burnt up....so I'm glad to see it again!

[corruptedsave]

[That's why Link is cool.]

I can see why it burnt up, it's made of wood. It doesn't even look like it's been properly sealed either.

[younghero]

My Hylian shield is way sturdier. But, I'm gonna keep this one because it reminds me of home. I just won't use it for anything important.

[corruptedsave]

If you don't use it then doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a shield?

[younghero]

I have a metal one. It's a little awkward, but, it doesn't burn.

[corruptedsave]

Awkward, how?

[Let Chara know about the turtling, Link. So they can mock.]

[younghero]

Oh. It's just a little big, that's all. It's made for Hylian soldiers and guards, after all.

[He totally looks like a turtle, and earns all of the mocking.
Link shifted so the shield was visible, and tapped it absently.]

Video.

[carrythesin]

[Some reason, she isn't phased by the knife.]

A music box. It's... more of the melody, I guess.

Video.

[corruptedsave]

[Being phased or not, it won't stop them from still twirling it around.]

The melody huh? ... I can see why that'd be a special gift then.

Video.

[carrythesin]

[It just tells this girl she's comfortable with it. Killer instinct maybe? But she's not one to judge.]

Is that why I got it? Everyone's gift is special?

Video.

[corruptedsave]

I think so? At least the ones from Santa are, or should be.

Video.

[carrythesin]

Hn.

[She goes quiet, looking down at the music box off screen.]

So then, the knife is special to you.

Video.

[corruptedsave]

[Twirl, twirl, twirl goes the knife.]

Yeah, it is. It helped me finish off something that needed to end.

Video.

[carrythesin]

That needed to end?

[Which later in canon, the melody will serve the same.]

Good luck.
