002 - Video - Public Service Announcement

[whitefeathered]

[The video clicks on, and there's Aoko, perched on a stool, that firm set to her mouth almost swallowing her lips in that firm, white line. Someone's going to get it . . . and they're going to get it good.]

I'd like to make a public service announcement.

[Her spine straightens, chin lifting, and almost veritably, she glares at the camera.]

If your new TV or microwave or disco ball or whatever doesn't work . . . maybe you should make sure it's plugged in before calling tech support and fussing at them for half an hour.

And then figuring it out and hanging up on them because you're embarrassed.

Jerks.

[That last part is obviously directed at certain unspecified individuals and not the world as a whole, but Aoko doesn't look as though she's in the mood to specify, bright pink by the end of it all. With a toss of the head, she looks tempted to say more, but flicks the NV firmly off.]

Wanna punch a pillow when you get home? You can pretend it's your customers.

[Muttered,]

Going to need something more durable.

. . .

Or I'd settle for Kaito making dinner.

Are you sure you trust me enough to leave me alone in the kitchen?

[video]

[whitefeathered]

No.

But it'd probably be more edible than what I'd make right now.

[video]

[pandorabox]

I think you might have too much faith in my cooking abilities.

[video]

[whitefeathered]

Just put a TV dinner in the microwave, Kaito. You can manage that.

[video]

[pandorabox]

What if I blow up the kitchen?

[video]

[whitefeathered]

. . .

You take the tin foil off of things before you put it in.

Why do you have to be such a jerk?

[video]

[pandorabox]

How is this me being a jerk?

[video]

[whitefeathered]

Because I'm tired, and all I asked is that you put TV dinners in the microwave, and you're still trying to convince me you're not capable, probably so I'll do it myself when I get home.

That makes you a jerk.

[video]

[pandorabox]

I'm teasing, Aoko. 'Course I'll put some food in the microwave for when you come home.

[video]

[whitefeathered]

Really?

[video]

[pandorabox]

Really. I'm not that much of a jerk.

[video]

[whitefeathered]

Kaito . . .

[video]

[pandorabox]

What?

[video]

[whitefeathered]

Just happy.

[video]

[pandorabox]

Good.
