Heh, looks like a pretty crazy day today, doesn't it?

[The guy in the video, if any of you happen to recognize him, seems sort of different today. Taller, for one. Maybe a deeper voice? Whatever the difference is, his smile is the same as ever, and he grins cheerfully at the camera.]

You guys shouldn't let curses get you down though! Whether you're suddenly bigger or smaller or feathered or lost or a brand new parent, you should face it head on and smile. It might even be fun!

[He glances away from the screen after that last comment, as if some sudden thought had caught him by surprise.]

Come to think of it, I should probably go out and do something too.

[[Elmer's aged-up today! By quite a lot. Replies will be coming from

unfrowning!]]

Magic!

[He pulls another coin out of his sleeve.]

But how do you do magic?

Practice! I could teach you a trick, if you want.

Okay.

Alright, first you need some coins. Can you find any coins?

[ That device? Dropped down to the side, while Akito looked around the area. ]

[Waiting patiently! Also maybe humming the song that never ends, because why not.]

[ A minute later, he picked up the device again. ]

[ With nothing in his hands. ]

Where do you.. find coins?

Oh, well, you can find them almost anywhere! Under furniture, on the street, in your pocket, in your brother's pocket--or I could come find you and give you some, if you want.

[ Akito will just give the street area a once over, then shove his face closer to the device. ]

Where're you?

I'm...on my way out!

Where?

Well I hadn't decided on a destination yet. Want me to come to you?

By the.. game machine place?

The arcade? That's perfect! How about I meet you there and we can try out some games!

Can you teach me.. how do do the-- coin thing, too?

Of course! I'll teach you everything you want to know. You might even want to be a magician when we're done!

A magician?

A magician's someone who can do all sorts of tricks like the one I showed you. Or better!

Okay.

[ He'll just wait over by the arcade, then. Since 'okay' was obviously a valid response to that sentence. ]

[Any response is perfectly valid to Elmer, and he'll be showing up at the arcade in very short order, looking around for his brand new magical magician sidekick.]

[ Akito waited, back pressed up against the wall of the arcade, with his eyes trained on-- whoever happened to pass by during his time spent there. ]

[Soon enough, Elmer came jogging down the street, skidding to a stop in front of the arcade, and--]

Hey there! Did you wait long?

[with a smile and a wave.]

[ A shake of his head was all the response Akito was giving, before he moved forward, extended a hand out-- ]

[ --and latched his fingers onto the edge of Elmer's shirt. ]

The coins?

--Ahaha. I've got them right here, see?

[He pulls some out of his pocket and offers them to Akito.]

Wanna try that trick now?
