[ Look who's finally figured out how to use the video feature! Though, admittedly, he's still hesitant about this particular function, and it shows on his face as he sits in front of the camera, looking at the image of himself before he remembers he's making one of these moving picture things. ]

I am aware that, with this relocation, there are many new changes for all of us to grow used to. I'd like, if I can, to make myself available. To anything anyone might need. A job or something similar. Something like that.

[ Gods be, why did he choose to make this a video? This must be the part where he lists his skills and qualifications. As a man who's never had to work a day in his life, his applicable skill, he knows, might be for an acquired profession. ]


If there are hunting parties seeking another member, I'm no stranger to the hunt. I am accomplished tournament knight. I've proven my merit on the battlefield, and I was designated Lord Commander of my king's Rainbow Guard. [ The guard may have been short lived, but even to this day, Loras feels he still holds the position. In his heart of hearts.

There's a long pause. ]

If you think I may be of use to you, I'd like to help. Any way I can. [ And then the screen goes dark. ]

[ Dazai isn't about to shy away from an offer like this when he's low on everything, especially in terms of food. ]

Well, that's a tempting offer!

[ Considering the recent string of bad luck going around this over-eager offer is already far too good to be true. There's got to be a hitch in it somewhere, or the Universe might just implode. ]

Would it be too much to expect that you have anything to hunt with?

[ He's not exactly unarmed, but why offer to waste ammunition that isn't easy to come by if he doesn't need to? ]

[triplerose]

[ How embarrassing. Loras doesn't even has his sword, and he hadn't thought that it would be an issue. That somehow someone would lend him equipment out of the kindness of their heart. ]

I ... Do not. Yet.

[cassus]

That tends to making hunting a little more difficult!

[ He isn't laughing, per se. But a sound that's halfway between amused and smug does end up stifled along the way.
Thank you Fate, for proving his eternal skepticism right. ]

I mean, unless your hobby is wrestling things into submission with your bare hands?

[ Dazai palms his chin, toeing a thin line between productive conversation and blatant teasing. ]

[triplerose]

I have faith that things will work out in my favour.

[ His lips purse. He can tell what's happening here. ]

[vorrutyer]

I have some heavy things that need carrying.

[ Byerly spreads the fingers of his hand invitingly. There's a wry smile on his face - he's curious about how far he can push the fellow's knightly agreeableness. ]

[triplerose]

[ Manual labour is, by and large, a foreign concept to Loras. And his strength isn't quite what it used to be - though even then, he'd be hard pressed to carry anything heavy. Mostly because he wouldn't want to. ]

I'm afraid I may not be the best choice in the matter.

[vorrutyer]

Whyever not?

[ His smile broadens just a bit. ]

You have marvelously broad shoulders. I can't imagine you aren't good at lifting things.

[triplerose]

They are good for jousting. I am much better practiced at knocking things over.

[ But he does like the flattery. People used to be full of flattering things to say to him, and, if he's honest, he misses it. ]

video, un: ironborn

[reek]

[ Oh, Loras. Sweet summer child. Prepare for another not too pleasant interaction with your favorite ironborn. He smirks, and it's a clear indication that one of his usual cutting remarks is coming. ]

And which false king might that have been?

[ Theon, no. ]

[triplerose]

[ Loras presses his lips together. He was just starting to like you, Theon. ]

Renly Baratheon was the rightful king of Westeros.

[reek]

[ That's usually how it goes. Theon is capable of getting along well with others for awhile, but then he makes a remark that bruises or cuts just a little too deep and it puts him two steps back once more.

He chuckles. ]

The North would have never supported him. Nor the ironborn.

[ He knows the same to be true of Robb, though. The south would have never accepted Robb's independent claim on the North, and even Balon refused his attempts at an alliance. Westeros was truly ripping itself apart long before the Storm. ]

[triplerose]

The North would not have suffered for it. Renly would have been kind, even in the face of Stark's attempted treason.

[priorly]

[Loras, he predates the internet and even he knows there are things you don't say on the internet.]

Well, chivalry isn't dead. Though I confess I'm afraid we've found what killed it.

[triplerose]

[ He's not quite sure he wants to speak with Prior. It's evident on his face. ]

If that's all you have to say, I hope?

[priorly]

[What why?

Have you been sulking for a full month over being called uncool. Prior cocks his own head, confused.]

It wasn't, but if you're busy making yourself available to the needs of a whole city, I'm sure I can save it for another time.

[triplerose]

[ He knows he's not the smartest. He doesn't like being made to feel like an idiot all the same. ]

Is there something disagreeable with making myself useful?

[illuminescent]

Hunt?

I should like to go hunting.

[Lucy no you are sick.]

[triplerose]

Perhaps once this has passed, my lady.

[ Loras likes Edmund. He's not going to encourage his ill sister to do anything. ]

[illuminescent]

...has he spoken to the entire populace?

[She's normally so cheerful she's been cooped up too long.]

[ Bucky doesn't like the video function, either, but he's bored enough to turn it on and try to make it work. He is dressed in drab clothing and also pretty clearly confined to his bed, presumably thanks to the ongoing plague. ]

What d'you do in the Rainbow Guard?

[triplerose]

It was a kingsguard. A group of knights sworn to the protection and duty of our king, Renly Baratheon.

[godwins]

You're makin' me feel like a real Connecticut yankee in King Arthur's court. [ And he's not even from Connecticut. But he hastens to correct himself: ]

Sorry, you won't know what that means. We don't have a king, where I'm from, is all. Being a kingsguard sounds important.

[ayes]

[Oh.

Oh, he's pretty. You stares for a bit, not having all that much to say about hunting or anything like that.

Eventually she blurts out:] The Rainbow Guard is a really pretty name!

[...smooth.]

[triplerose]

Thank you. It was named in honour of The Seven, the faith that we follow.

[ayes]

Oh... so like, each one of them is represented by a color! I get it.

Do you have a favorite?
