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! ))

No, you don't!

[ Wu, on the other hand, has no such issue with this, and shimmies off his jacket, before rolling up the sleeve on his right arm, showing off his constellation tattoo, that shimmers with darkblood in the ink ]

Manabu's just shy. His is on his chest. Pretty swanky, isn't it?

[Vyng's mild annoyance at being left out evaporates — it's understandable, seeing how parenthood keeps him so busy (and out of many spur-of-the-moment decisions). In any case, he leans closer to his screen and gives a small, quiet gasp.]

Oh, wow. That's gorgeous!

[royalfling]

[ Wu laughs happily, admiring it himself, too ]

Thank you! I don't think I would have had the guts to get it, if I'd been in the right mind, but I really can't regret it! It's the badgermole constellation, I used to look up at it all the time from the palace.

[spiritwalks]

Trust me. As far as drunk-tattoo stories go, you really couldn't have done any better than this.

[Seriously. Tuck refuses to shave his beard for a reason.]

What's the badgermole symbolize?
