THIS IS WEIRD

why are the letters yelling

oNE MOMENT PLEASE --

[ He somehow manages to figure out how to swap to video, don't ask how. He clicked things until it worked. ]

Wow! Okay, this is a lot better than that text was. Not sure how that works yet, not sure how this works really, either. Maybe they should offer classes for those of us who want to learn.

[ Like he'd stay awake during them. He yawns, then laughs a little at the thought. ]

So, I'm new and I have one request for everyone who can see this.

Tell me a joke. It can be your favorite one, your best one. Whatever one you're inclined to share.

Oh, and I guess I could use some advice on how to really use this funny little thing.

[ He clearly means his phone, but it just...shuts off right after he asks that. ]

Comments

forever video

[verytired]

Okay, that's a really good one. And I haven't heard it before.

[ There's an amused, lazy laugh to follow. ]

I mean, I haven't heard a lot of jokes anyway, but I still think it's a good one.

--> Video

[afoolshope]

[He contemplates staying on text, but decides not to and switches to the video. He's laying on his stomach on his bed, a pillow under his chin.]

I tend to have a morbid sense of humor, or so I've been told. Glad you liked it. I'm Minato. I can help you with the phone. Or tell more jokes. Or both.

[verytired]

It's not morbid. People die. It's so normal everyone does it.

[ Well, mostly. ]

Well, Minato, I'm Hypnos, and I'm sure I can use help with this -- [ hesitates for a moment ] phone.

But I do like jokes, too.

[afoolshope]

Oh. You're Hypnos?

[Definitely better looking that the artificial persona version he had to fight.

He took a moment, a hand on his chin thought. And then...]

What is huge, grayish, and can send people to sleep? A hypno-potamus.

[verytired]

I'm Hypnos! The one and only, I assume. I mean, who knows now.

[ But that gets quite a bit of a laugh out of him. ]

It's a joke about me!

[afoolshope]

I only know one.

[So, for Minato, he was the one and only. The laugh gets a small smile from Minato.]

How about... Twin monks who ring the church bells have died. They are now dead ringers.

[verytired]

Oh, well - good. I'd be the best one, anyway!

[ He believes that much, it seems. ]

Oh, I like that one. I think enough to tell it to my twin if I see him here.

[ He hasn't yet, though. ]

[afoolshope]

Your twin... Oh, Thanatos. What's he like?

[Given how this place works and how Hypnos looks like like Ryoji or his true form, Minato figured this Hypnos was related to a different Thanatos.]

[verytired]

He's impressive. He's smart, talented, and a hard worker. He always has a very serious face, but I think that's just how his face is.

[ Hypnos is very fond, can you tell? ]

[afoolshope]

[Yes, he can tell. It's cute.]

A little different to the one I know.

[verytired]

Well, of course! There's only one of my brother.
