[Video/Catch All, backdated to April 15th.] Egglike Mishaps

[satori_komeiji]

"...Brrawk~! I squeal like a little girl when I see kittens for the first time~!"

The feed switches on in the early hours of the morning. A shrill voice can be heard in mockery of Satori's own, chattering in the background. Satori looks thoroughly worn out. A loud and rather mischevious parrot, which happens to be a riotous blend of colour, peers at the camera as if it knows very well what it's doing.

The mistress of the house mumbles... "Good grief...as much as I'm fond of animals, I'm starting to regret this one."

"Lots of regrets! Like wanting friends~!" The parrot replies... "Like how I regret letting my sister get in trouble all the time~! I blame myself, even now~!"

"...Oh, now you've certainly done it."

...And once more it screeches... "I'm not as scary as I act, isn't that right~? But I kill humans in cold blood when I'm hungry~! And enjoy it~! Brawk~!"

Satori's expression is all too tired from all of this as she wanders over, still in her bedclothes, and pat the parrot on the head, giving it a treat. For a blessed moment, it shuts up. However, it's thrown out a ton of emotional baggage she'd confessed to it. Big mistake, as it seems to want to compulsively announce it.

"Is anyone else dealing with this sort of thing? I'm starting to get a tad exasperated...I'm getting tired of it airing my dirty laundry."

"...Regrettably, I did. This strange bird was what I got out of the whole ordeal. It seems to want to embarrass me to no end."

Then, the parrot eyes Remilia through the screen and just gives her a Look.

"Brawk~! Remi's fashion sense makes me self-conscious and nervous~! She's way more fashionable than I'll ever be~! When we go out together, I can't compete~!"

"Ugh..." Satori just shakes her head and tries to avoid direct eye contact, now. "Just. Like. That. I don't want to be unkind to it, but it's very...very persistent in doing this."

[scarlet_devil]

That was... not terribly surprising to hear, really. She found Satori to be so cute whatever she wore.

"Quite different from last year's eggs..."

[satori_komeiji]

"Oh, definitely. At least last time was humourous rather than infuriating."

And the birdbrain cries out...

"...Everyone I love, I lose, eventually. People get driven away-- brawk~!"

Satori flashes the bird an unkind glare.

"You know, I'm not even that angry at that comment. I'm starting to understand how other people feel when dealing with me." An unkind and self-deprecative assertion on her part, but not entirely wrong - not everyone appreciated the whole 'reading minds' thing.

"Did you like old lady me?"

And now, Remilia gets annoyed with the stupid bird. And not just because it went and killed the moment like it did. She's not going anywhere if she can help it.

"And yet... the very thing that drives others away, brought me to you." Well. She could be a bit more tactful?

[satori_komeiji]

"A fairly blunt way of putting it, but I see what you mean. While I do drive people away, I don't always do it for long. Nor do I do it entirely because I hate people or wish them gone. Perhaps I'm fearful of others as much as they are of me, but that's beside the point. Love and hate are closely related - both obsessive and all-consuming desires that culminate in labeling someone the most adored or maligned."

"...But it is as much about understanding others and learning of all the little things that make them more than that. And you, for better or worse, took that risk. All the ugliness in my heart, you see as something beautiful." Satori chuckles a little as her third eye nudges the camera in a gesture of quiet affection for her dear vampire.

"...As for back then, do you have to ask, Remi? I couldn't care less what you looked like, so long as you're still of the same mind and heart. If anything, you were still just as graceful as you are now. Just the same as when I was temporarily human - you didn't seem to mind the inconvenience. I did. Immensely, don't you remember?"

And another little smirk as she jokes... "Honestly, half the time, I've wanted to complain to you about how much of a complaining type I am. I don't know how you put up with me."

[scarlet_devil]

"As clear as day. Though... I was at least still a vampire. I'm told I aged well."

"Ma belle, how could I not enjoy your company?" Besides, Patchy in a grumpy mood could out-grump Satori.
