TWO [VIDEO]

[April looks...happy. It's bizarre. She's also cuddling a tiny hippo and holding it up to the camera.]

Say hi to everyone, Hippy. Look how cute she is!

[April makes the hippo wave and places it into a cardboard box.]

First we learn everyone's hilarious dirty secret texts and now we have these. I could get used to this whole curse thing. Except...I really want to keep Hippy after today. I mean, I don't have Champion here so I need a pet. Do you think you can teach a hippo tricks?

[Locked to Deities]

Hey. I read that you guys do trades sometimes. How much is a hippo? It's a really tiny hippo. I wouldn't even train it to eat people's shoelaces. Maybe.

I named mine Roger. I wish they could stay, too.

[hates_most_things]

I'm going to see what I can do about keeping mine longer. I guess I kind of miss my dog.

[horseish]

What kind of dog do you have? I'd never had a dog before but now we have two maybe you can share mine.

[hexuality]

Who's Champion?

voice;

[hates_most_things]

Champion is my dog at home. He has three legs and he's the best.

voice;

[hexuality]

That's a brilliant name for a dog. Didn't really have pets at home, most of mine are here.

You mean this is a curse? [Ruby sounds disappointed.] I only moved into my apartment a couple of days ago, I'd hoped they were permanent residents.

[hates_most_things]

Well, I mean maybe they are normal here, but I think my roommate would have mentioned that, and everyone's acting surprised.

[spotlighted]

That's a real shame, I'd sort of gotten attached to them.

Hey. We do do trades sometimes. What do you offer?

For the record, I would recommend against encouraging it to eat shoelaces. If you intend to keep it for very long, at least.

|| Deity Filter ||

[hates_most_things]

Uh...do you need an assistant or anything like that?

Maybe just to untie them.

[laszlo_jamf]

What I actually need are all the marshmallow (or whatever passes for marshmallow in this case) pieces from one box of Lucky Charms (or, if you're a cheapskate, the off-brand Fortunate Signs) cereal.

Bring me a bag, box, bin, container, bucket, whatever of all the marshmallow or marshmallow-like pieces, and you shall have your new companion animal for keepsies.

[ooc: No, seriously: if she brings all the marshmallows from a box of Lucky Charms to the Deity offices, the hippo is hers to keep. The task is just a little outlay of effort to prove that she wants the thing. If you're good with this, feel free to have it go through any time hereafter!]

Hi, Miss Hippy! She is very cute.

I'm so glad you found one for yourself!

[hates_most_things]

Uh, thanks.

[riceballfruit]

You're welcome.

Might I ask your name? I'm Tohru Honda.

[intheblanks]

Champion? Your wonder horse?

[hates_most_things]

My dog.

[never_very_good]

Those things are fucking vicious.

[hates_most_things]

Some of them are a little feisty, but they're not vermin like raccoons.

[whitetwoguns]

How'd you know it's not gonna grow to full size?

[hates_most_things]

Maybe it will. I'll ride it around town on a reign of terror.

YOU'VE GOT A HIPPO IN THE APARTMENT??

video;

[hates_most_things]

There are kind of a lot of hippos in the apartment. This one was the best one.

[S-she's making a trade it? That's so sweet! ;3;]

[brothertragedy]

[Well, it's quite nice to see people genuinely happy!

He smiles, but it looks somewhat sad, because he's not expecting Hippy to stay (ever the optimist).]

She does look sweet.

[April get what she wants.]

[hates_most_things]

Yeah. But I bet she could bite a few ankles if she wanted.
