⚒ sixth - [ video - open to action ]

[ Zeref appears to be in the middle of Fayren City; a very bad place for him to see something that angered him, or at least severely embarrassed him. He's glaring, but his eyes are barely visible; they're not quite red and glowing yet, though. ]

Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea? [ Zeref holds up a flier for the beauty pageant. The camera is centered on his name, in the list of male contestants. ] Whoever you are, do you realize what could happen if I participated in something like this!?

[ Ignoring the fact that he'd sooner volunteer one of the Books of Zeref to be reviewed in the Genessia Tribune, if his magic activated in the middle of something like that... ]

I can't participate in this. I'm sorry.

[ And with that, the feed ends. Attempts to convince him otherwise, go. ~~Spoiler alert, they'll ultimately work.~~ ]

I... wouldn't know. { Flirting and making others jealous isn't exactly his field of expertise. } I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

Relax, I'm only joking.

I see.

{ His joke detector has never worked well. Comes from having been isolated for a century or so. }

[ She's getting that impression. Hmm.. time to test it. ]

Tell me your best joke.

I don't know any.

{ No, really. }

Try to make one up!

I don't think it is that easy...

Sure it is. Just think of something that you find amusing and then form it into a joke. I'm not asking you to be comedy club ready, just tell a stupid one.

You might have better luck asking Mavis.

I don't want to hear Mavis's joke, I want to hear yours. Tell you what. I'll give you until the next time we talk to come up with a joke on your own or find one that you find funny, and you can tell it to me.

{ She's really not going to give up on this, is she? }

If I find one.

You will find one. You're legally required to or I'm going to find you and try to drag you into town.

[ And she knows that's an pretty good threat given how easily freaked out he is by his own powers. ]
