[ The feed begins in a dark room - there's moonlight through a window somewhere offscreen, but not much else to illuminate the feed. There's not much to look at - a simple folding chair is all that's really in view for a little while, though there's the sound of shuffling footsteps in the background for a moment. Finally, a figure makes its way to the front of the camera. A giant, heart-shaped figure.

That's right. It's Huggy Heart.

He gives the camera a happy little wave before turning a bit, shifting back and forth as the person inside gets to work on taking the costume off. It's not a fast process - the stupid thing was pretty cumbersome - but eventually he manages to get the zipper in the back open, and with a bit more shifting around the costume falls to his feet.

Mercury stands there, hair a bit mussed and in a plain black t-shirt rather than his usual jacket. ]

Whew! That thing was not built for comfort.

[ He kicks the costume aside dismissively, falling back into the chair with his legs splayed out. ]

It was nice getting out and about for a while, though. That carnival was...

[ His smirk falls a bit. ]

Well, let's be honest. Pretty lame. Decent food, but not much else going for it. Didn't really wow me. Three out of ten at best. What I'm getting at here is that I'm bored.

[ He leans forward, elbows resting on his knees, narrowing his eyes at the camera as he lowers his voice. ]

Me and boredom are a baaaaad mix. Some of you might remember that! So consider this a heads-up that I'm going to be hitting the streets again. No more costumes, no more sneaking around. That lost its luster a while back. Just me and a few cities worth of friendly faces to mingle with. Can't wait to meet some of you face-to-face.

[ He leans back again, crossing one leg over the other - his pants and boots, at least, are the same as usual. His expression returns to his usual smirk, tone casual. ]

All that aside, anyone know any good jokes? Come on. Make me laugh.

I'm a dragon.

[Said like it's the most obvious thing in the world.]

Oh.

Huh.

Thought you'd be bigger.

We Fae dragons are often around this size.

And... what do you do?

...What do you mean?

From what I know about dragons, they're supposed to be huge flying monsters capable of bringing towns and cities to their knees.

You're only big enough to fit on a leash.

So what can you do?

I do have companions that are like that, mind you.

For myself, I can cast fire spells, heal allies, and reflect magical attacks back towards the casters.

I may be small, but my power makes up for it.

Fire spells! Now we're talking. Show me one of those.

Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt...

[If she does it carefully, considering she's in a jungle and doesn't want to burn down the lair.]

[She holds out her talons, forming a small fireball between them, which gradually grows in size. She holds it in front of the device for a moment before tossing it into the air.]

[ He leans in a bit as the magic begins, actually looking visibly interested - but when all is said and done his expression falls flat. ]

You're... not even going to hit something with it?

...What exactly did you expect me to hit?

You didn't specify that I needed to hit something.

Anything! What's the point of using fire magic if you're not going to burn something! Come on!

I don't exactly have anything to burn right now. If I were actually in battle, it'd be a different story.

Maaaaaaan... what a letdown.

You sure get disappointed easily.

Excuse me for having standards.

[He might hear some snickering in the background from a few other dragons.]

Well, we're not exactly obligated to fulfill your so-called "standards."

Sure, sure. It just means you're the lamest dragon I've ever seen, that's all.

[ WHAT A GENTLEMAN ]

Well, that shows just how little you know about dragons.

Won't deny that - I've only seen two, including you.

But it's not a hard pick.

Well, if we ever meet in battle, I'll be sure to hit something with my fire spells.

How much power do they pack, anyway? Like could you... I don't know. Level a building?

I could...if I wanted to.

[Not something she'd do just for fun, though.]

Really. See, I wouldn't have guessed that from just watching a fireball float away. It's all about context!

Well, again, I had nothing to hit, and I'm not interested in burning down my home.
