022 // video

[Long time no see, Siren's Port. Gilbert has been doing his best to keep off of the NV for the last few months for a multitude of different reasons, but today he has something to talk about.

Or rather, he has something to complain about.

The video turns on while the NV is still pointed at the ground, some section of the garden out in front of the Phantomhive estate, but it snaps up fairly quickly to reveal a very rain-soaked Gilbert Nightray. It's been raining a lot lately, so the sight in and of itself isn't horribly odd, but what is odd is that he looks furious about it.]


Who's doing this?! Whoever it is - cut it out already! This 'prank' is going too far!

[The camera then shifts upwards until it's pointed up over his head. A few raindrops fall onto the NV, obscuring the sight a little, but viewers will definitely see a small, gray raincloud perched over his head. Just. Hovering there. Raining on him. He takes a step to the side and it follows him faithfully.

Yes, the broodiest resident of Siren's Port now comes equipped with his own personal raincloud for the day thanks to one of his regular customers at the bakery. Though honestly, in a city full of pranksters, it's really very odd that Gilbert hasn't been pranked this badly before.]


It won't go away! It keeps following me inside! It ruined part of the carpet and I can't even clean it up! I can't smoke like this either, and...

[The camera moves back to his pissed expression.]

IT'S NOT FUNNY DAMN IT SO STOP!

[And with that he slams the NV shut. April Fools, indeed.]

[ooc - Action for Phancyhive people if they want to venture out to Gilbert's little Brooding Spot in the garden. Also I'm off for work so tags will come later today.]

It was a lockdown.

[Not quite. He hasn't told Gilbert it was SERO labs he'd been snowed in at. Or there had been renegade murderous cyborgs on the loose.]

Still. It would have been nicer to be home, certainly.

And it isn't a stressor on you, physically? Did the terms of a contracted chain change, somehow?

Building a tolerance doesn't mean it ceases being detrimental, in the long run. You know that.

I don't believe I've ever known you to take it for granted, Gilbert.

Always the things we count upon, to be there...

But at least Oz is here now.

Are you going to make him aware?

If he finds out the truth on his own, he .... may hold that against you.

You and I...

We're really quite alike at heart, Gilbert.

Well.

I don't.

It's just how we are.

What trouble!

Well. Best of luck, sorting that one out.
