.[Hope Estheim - 0.0.3. Video]. What's evolution?!~ (Goldenrod)

[cursedwithpuns]

[Hope looks stunned.

He's just witnessed his little Surskit who was working so hard at training turn into this weird moth thing. He blinks with a smile on his face before turning the camera to the Masquerain flying around his head.]

I don't really know what happened. One minute we were training and then suddenly he went all white and changed into this thing.

[The Masquerain starts flapping, seemingly annoyed at being called a 'thing'. Hope blinks at him before laughing. That was definitely his Surskit.]

Lightning! Ven! See?

[He grins showing it again.]

Same here. I try and avoid anything with recoil damage, too. There's plenty of other tactics I can go with, and I sure wouldn't want anybody to tell me to hurt myself to win a fight.

[Not that he hasn't done that before, but still]

[Action]

[cursedwithpuns]

[You're talking to the glass canon!]

I haven't had to face recoil damage moves yet. But if one learns it it'll be Absol.

[Action]

[ex_aeroga402]

[And the best darn one there is, at that. Ven's just the cake that keyblades cuts itself]

Princess learned a move like that, I didn't know those kinds of attacks existed till then.

[Action]

[cursedwithpuns]

What move was it?

[He asks curiously. Recoil moves are not fun, he wants to know to avoid them.]

[Action]

[ex_aeroga402]

It's called Last Resort.

[Ven thought he mentioned it before, but maybe he only thought about doing so. He really should write more things down]

[Action]

[cursedwithpuns]

I... knew spell called Last Resort.

[He looked at his hand.]

It didn't hurt me, it just left me open while it charged.

[Action]

[ex_aeroga402]

Your spells take time to set up, right? I remember you mentioning that part before.

[Action]

[cursedwithpuns]

Yeah. I had to charge them for a little while. Not long though.

[Action]

[ex_aeroga402]

That's good at least. I bet battles'd get pretty tough otherwise.

[Another tug at his tie, and then he pauses]

Unless Snow's covering you, if I remember.

[Action]

[cursedwithpuns]

His ability to take a hit saved my life... A uh... lot.

[He smiles a bit.]

Do you need a hand with that?

[Action]

[ex_aeroga402]

I bet. Terra's like that, too.

[The question makes him pause, and a good thing, he's only making that knot tighter]

...Probably. Leon gave me some pointers on ties before, so I can tie them, but...

[Getting out of the darn things is another story entirely]

Re: [Action]

[cursedwithpuns]

[Hope stepped up to his friend. He fiddles with the knot and sighs.]

You've made the knot too tight. Here.

[After a prolonged time in Ven's personal space... voila! It's off.]

... Do you need me to show you how to put it on as well?

[How did Hope know this stuff? WELL. That's a story for another day.]

[Action]

[ex_aeroga402]

Thanks for the help, I was starting to think I was stuck in that thing.

[Good thing there's no personal space with friend-family, or so Ven was raised. He's just glad when he's free of that tie]

I'm a bit better at tying a tie, even if I don't get it as neat as others do.

[Action]

[cursedwithpuns]

Okay. Well, next time just come find me or you might choke yourself.

[He smiles and pats his shoulder.]

[Action]

[ex_aeroga402]

[Time for pouts he knows don't work on Hope, but unfortunately his frowns just turn out that way]

Geez, you don't have to smile when you talk about ties kicking my butt...

[Naturally, he's not serious, but bros have to be like this]
