[ 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.

Like your lack of humor? [ ooooohhh - nah whatever ] Are you more of a story joke kind of guy or a short "Two mallards walk into a bar, the third one ducks" sort of guy?

[ Another roll of his eyes, but it's pretty obvious he doesn't take it to heart. There are... very few things that he does take to heart. ]

Probably more of the latter, with a preference for something crass.

Alright, mint said I need to tell you about the trigger warnings.

It's this new thing used to alert people when an internet post, book, article, picture, video, audio clip, or just about anything can cause "negative reactions" due to its content. I once witnessed a blog with a warning that it had spiders on it.

[ "Mint". He'll have to use that one, later.

Mercury listens quietly, frowning a bit and squinting as if to say "... now hold on a second". ]

But... isn't there the chance that literally anything could cause a negative reaction with someone?

Exactly. I also once saw a site warning it had a picture of a vegetable on it.

How do people like this exist.

A true mystery. People are so sensitive.

Good thing there are upstanding citizens like us who will absolutely take their precious feelings into consideration, right?

Obviously. I'd go so far as to say we're needed to protect them. Society would collapse otherwise.

We bear such weight upon our shoulders, and get no thanks! I weep.

It's hard being humanity's savior.

Tell him about the trigger warnings, he'll get a kick out of that.

[ She doesn't even care if she's not anon anymore. ]

Is this who I think it is?

[ hey ]

That's me. I don't have to hide anymore so I can laugh at things without the veil of anonymity.

Hey, that's great. Hiding is one of the most boring things even if popping up unexpectedly can be fun. It's the waiting. Got to have the patience for it.
