001 Video: FilledwithSunshine

[onebadapple]

[At first, the image is that of just an absolutely giant stag. The stag's antlers are absolutely covered in songbirds, crows, ravens, and even a hawk, while a squirrel and chipmunk sit on his back next to a raccoon. And that's just some of the animals, there are creatures that look much meaner and nastier with infinitely harsher fangs and claws and mass. The stag huffs and shakes his head, the birds fly up for only a few seconds before going back to sitting on his antlers.]

...Now then, did I get it right this time?

[There are resounding tweets and chirps and squeaks and outright screeches from the animals.]

Oh! Wonderful!

[The picture turns around and then Snow White smiles bright and wide at the camera.]

Why hello there! It's so wonderful to meet you all! Or well, not meet you, not yet! [She giggles.] But I hope to meet you all properly soon.

My name is Snow White!

I was hoping someone here might have a very definite answer for a question I have! You see, I just arrived here not too long ago, but I'm not sure if this is the afterlife for all of us or not.

[Straight to the point this one.]

Some have said yes, others have said no! So I'm afraid I simply just don't know! I was so sure I was dead, after all, but what wonderful news it would be to know I'm not!

Would someone be so kind as to let me know? [Snow White asks all of this with a bright and cheerful smile. For a girl who thinks she's dead, she's frighteningly cheerful.

But that's Snow White for you.]

Thank you so much!

she what
dude was she trying to kill you???

oh huh ok
so you're like besties with animals?

[onebadapple]

Oh yes, she very much wants me dead. I'm really not sure what I did to upset her! But at first, she wanted my heart cut out and when the Huntsman was kind enough to let me live instead, she found where I was hiding in the woods and then poisoned me.

Animals were my very first friends growing up. I wasn't allowed to speak to anyone or they to me. But my stepmother didn't care about animals befriending me!

[laminae]

[That.

What.

Okay, that's an evil dillweed. Straight up evil dillweed.]

whaaaat does she look like?

man
it's good you had them for friends
dogs raised me and they were the best ever

Belated I realized this needed: CW: Child abuse, neglect, attempted child murder

[onebadapple]

Well, that part might be a bit of a problem. But I'm sure my stepmother isn't here! Or she'd have tried to kill me already! [She smiles.] She's very adamant about that, you see.

But when she hasn't used magic to change her appearance well, she's really very beautiful! She has sharp green eyes, really one of the fiercest gazes there is, pale skin, high cheekbones with a natural blush, long black hair when she doesn't keep it under her robes, full red lips, and she maintains her queenly air at all time.

LMAO OMG yes CW: Child abuse, neglect, attempted child murder

[laminae]

[Geez. He doesn't know this girl very well, but she's seemed nice and a mom trying to kill their stepdaughter is all kinds of red flags on the mom.]

ok cool i'm committing that mental image to memory
uh this is going to sound weird but if you see her here can you tell me?
no offense but she sounds like a huge greaseball and i don't want to see you get hurt
i've got an obligation to protect people since i'm a knight and all
and it sounds like you could use some help with her

[onebadapple]

You're so sweet to care for me when we have only just really met. Thank you for caring about me so.

And what a very good and brave knight you are. But she is a queen, so do be careful about such things.

[laminae]

it's no problem
you seem like a good egg and your stepmom seems like a real dingus

i will be! wouldn't be the first royalty i've fought

[Haaaaaah but let's not get into that.]

does this mean you're a princess?

[onebadapple]

Oh, I'm not an egg! [And she has absolutely no clue what a "dingus" is.]

But I am a princess, yes! [Not that it means much to Snow.]

[laminae]

oh no i don't mean literally
a good egg is like a cool person? it means you're rad

oh geez
sorry i didn't bow on that beach or anything
i had no clue

[onebadapple]

Oh, don't worry, dear! Even though my name is Snow White, I'm not chilly at all! And I'm not sure what rad is either. [Snow is from either FURTHER back than Varian. Soooo much slang is lost on her.

Additionally, since Fern is in text, Snow doesn't realize:] We met on the beach?

[laminae]

oh geez don't worry it's all just slang
they all mean good and nice! or great
you know, positive stuff

[Maybe he should send her the Ooo dictionary he's building, too?]

oh yeah! i'm fern
sorry i'm trying out a new username that isn't just my name
i'm the grass guy who asked you about your deer

[onebadapple]

Oh! I'm so glad!

[If he was insulting her, though, she'd be used to that too, though. But a dictionary would only work once she got better at reading.]

Oh! Fern! Why hello again! I remember you now! Why aren't you showing your face, dear?

And user name- oh! The name it asked for on this little gem!

[laminae]

oh uh i'm more comfortable with writing stuff out
but if you want i can switch over to the audio or video

[He knows not everyone is as down with the text as he is.]

yep!! that's what a username is
something you pick for fun
yours is really good

[onebadapple]

Would that be alright? I would really be very grateful if you did.

Why thank you! It was from part of a song I sang to help cheer myself up! It's something I constantly remind myself of.

[laminae]

[Yep, he goes ahead and switches over to voice.]

It's no big deal.

Yeah? Are you a musician?

[onebadapple]

Well, I don't know about being a musician. But I do like to sing.

[laminae]

That makes you a musician, in my opinion! Singing's great, I wish more people did it.

[onebadapple]

All seven of my dwarfs are musicians! I wish you could hear them, they're incredible! But I love to sing so maybe you'll hear one from me sometime! I sing when I clean, when I cook, when I'm happy, or sad, just all sorts of songs!

[laminae]

Hey, we could always music jam, if you want. I'm guessing you sang with your dwarves sometimes? It'd basically be the same thing, we could even drag other people into it for fun.

[onebadapple]

Oh, that sounds like so much fun! And yes, they played instruments and sang and I sang and danced with them! It was the most fun I had ever had in years!

[laminae]

Cool. I love music jams, they're a great way to just chill and have fun and not worry about life, so we'll definitely have to do it sometime.

[onebadapple]

Music... jam? I don't know what that would taste like! [She giggles.]

Taking time to relax and enjoy yourself is really very important. [Snow never actually DID that before the dwarfs.]

[laminae]

Not like, jam-jam. A music jam's when a bunch of people get together to play music for fun. It's pretty much the definition of relaxing and enjoying yourself.

[onebadapple]

Oh! I know what that is! I did that with the dwarfs!

[laminae]

Great, then you know what I'm talking about! We'll do one sometime and it'll be rad.
