video; un: mako; it's a joint post y'all

[arclightning]

Hey everyone. Mako here.

[ The voice clips in just before the actual video appears for reasons that become clear in a moment: Mako steps back from where he's clearly set the Omni on a table to record what looks like a garage sale right outside the Raccoon Room.

A long table absolutely covered in little bits and baubles glints in the sun. In the center of everything sits Fritter the raccoon, Wu's omen, looking contrite and also sort of like she would like to leave. Her little ears are back and her tiny arms are crossed.

Scowling, Mako steps back to stand in front of the table, crossing his arms to match Fritter. ]

Some of you might have noticed some stuff going missing in the last couple months.

[ A pause. Mako glances back at Fritter, who huffs at him and holds up a winking blue heart-shaped gem on a sparkling chain. That... sure looks important. ]

Can't promise that what you lost is here, but there's a good chance it is. We'll be out here all day.

I'm sorry! [ Wu's voice pipes up from behind the camera ] It's my fault, really.

[ He turns the Omni around at a very selfie angle, pouting at the camera ]

I'm sorry that Fritter stole your stuff, it wasn't her fault! It was mine. Corruption just got me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I was mean to so many of you. Shiro, I'm sorry for making fun of your hair; Jessica, I'm sorry for throwing you out of the Raccoon Room. Manabu, I'm really sorry that I made you get a tattoo. [ Big grimace there ] I mean, I still think it looks great on you—

[ Mako clears his throat and Wu wrinkles his nose ] but that's not the point! I'm sorry for all of it. I'm better now! No more corruption here, no sir.

[ A beat. Mako narrows his eyes even more.]

Uh, please come get your stuff!

(( ooc: absolutely feel free to assume your character's random trinkets and stuff is here even if it wasn't called out in the post! Fritter is a monster. Also feel free to respond in action if anyone wants to wander by and/or come get their stolen stuff! ))

[Lexi releases a nervous breath more loudly than she'd intended]

She, uh. She wouldn't happen to have made off with something made of paper, would she? I mean, it's not sparkly, but it's missing and it's pretty important to me. 'Cause I wrote it. It's my play.

[arclightning]

[ Paper, huh? Mako glances over the hoard, but a ream of paper will be pretty hard to spot in this mess if it is there. ]

She's more interested in shiny things, but if you're worried about it, come take a look. I'll be out here all day, and she'll be helping.

[ Fritter, behind him, makes an affronted noise. She did NOT agree to this. ]

[thisislife]

[she's afraid the paper might have seemed like too good of a target to shred for the fun of it, but she didn't find any signs of such happening back home.

and she laughs sheepishly] Yeahhhh. Kinda worried, so I'll be right over. And I'll appreciate both of your help.

[arclightning]

We appreciate everyone being understanding about it.

[ Mako says very dryly. ]

You want to tell me anything else about the papers? I'll look until you get here.

[thisislife]

Yeah. I mean, it's not your fault. This is embarrassing for all of us.

[she says quite sincerely]

They've got a cover sheet entitled "Our Life," draft 5.0.

[arclightning]

[ Mako just smiles dryly down at the feed. ]

It's mostly our fault. Fritter shouldn't have been able to steal this much and put it in our venue without either of us noticing.

[thisislife]

[she smiles back]

It's okay as long as it all goes well in the end, right? I still have no idea what she would have wanted with my play, but weirder things have happened.
