video; un: fruitpunchsamurai
[ The video feed opens to... it looks like a park? From what can be seen, anyway, because most of the screen is filled with ducks. ]
[ That's right. There's ducks covering the ground, the bench that the man in the video is sitting on, and even the man himself. There has to be a couple dozens of them at least, but if the incessant quacking is any indication, there may be more behind the frame. ]
[ A couple ducks keep trying to hop off the bench, but the man carefully herds them back with an open hand, apparently determined to keep them nearby. ]
Greetings, citizens! Would anyone happen to be in need of a duck? I, ah, [ a duck perched on his shoulder starts fluffing up and flapping its wings, and he tries to lean away but still gets slapped over the head a few times before he finally raises his free hand to try and cover himself from the onslaught so he can speak without getting a mouthful of feathers ] seem to find myself in a bit of a bind here. I was hoping I could train them, but [ one of the ducks manages to slip off the bench and immediately makes a break for it, agitating the ducks already on the ground that start wandering off in different directions ] they're not listening to me and-- MARGARET, COME BACK!
[ There's some shuffling and the video feed just shows the sky as the phone was apparently placed down in a hurry. There's quacking and sounds of struggle for a few minutes. ]
[ If you're still watching, well, eventually the phone is picked up and Katsura looks like he's just been in a pretty brutal pillow fight. Meaning that yes, there's a bruise on his cheek and feathers in his hair and the neckline of his kimono is a bit askew. There appears to be less ducks around him now, though you may spot some in the pond in the distance, a few in the sky, a mass of them running all over the park... ]
Anyway, as I was saying. Ducks to a good home available today at Central Park! First come first serve, so please make haste, as they are proving to be quite popular. As you can see. [ Tilts the phone to show the now-empty bench, as if that's supposed to prove that somebody came and adopted all the ducks, rather than them all simply ditching him. Which is exactly what happened. You may also spot a Shady Shop duck whistle laying nearby. ] Ducks make excellent pets and are incredibly emotionally intelligent, so do make sure you're serious about the adoption!
[ A duck's face appears in the frame, staring at the screen point blank before quacking with determination. Looks like one stayed with him, at least. ]
That's right, Eleanor! Thank you. There will be an interview in person.
See you soon~

That only means they are suited to the ways of the untamed, the discordant. Perfect for a legion of chaos.
[Leshy pulls himself full body out of the ground as he addresses the ducks like an actual army, even as heās only met with noisy quacks.]
Yes, I mean you! You yearn for destruction, donāt you? Fear not, for I am the very avatar of chaos, come to show you the way.
[The effect is chaoticā¦in noise at least with Leshyās sermoning over duck honking.]
no subject
...A legion of chaos, huh?
[ WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE HE LIKES THE SOUND OF THAT... ]
[ The ducks do not seem particularly receptive to the address, but perhaps this is further proof that they truly are The Untamed. At least the loud honking definitely suggests some yearning for destruction there. ]
[ Looks like the ducks and the... god? are a perfect match for each other! But don't get ahead of yourself just yet, Leshy-- ]
May I see your CV?
no subject
See Vee?
[He tilts his head.]
If this is an organ exclusive to humans, I'm afraid I am not acquainted with such meat.
no subject
It is less of an organ and more a written history of achievements, but I can see the confusion. [ No??? There's no similarity whatsoever?! ] I would like to be aware of some credentials if I am to allow you to enlist these feathered warriors into your ranks.
no subject
Hrrk. I WAS the bearer of the green crown of chaos and ruled Darkwood. You canāt find any better āqualificationsā.
no subject
These do sound quite impressive. Please list three of your skills and competences that you believe will translate best into your new position as the duck general.
no subject
Attunement with all things belonging to chaos. These creatures are children of chaos. Biting. Followers respond well to biting. And I can play the pipe.
[He whips out his little pipe and starts blowing a few notes into it.]
no subject
The pipe may prove to be a critical channel of communication. The legends speak of the chosen piper that will lead his followers to victory...
[ That's the wrong Pied Piper!! ]
[ On the flipside, a number of ducks do seem intrigued by the noise and start gathering around Leshy. ]
no subject
I must be the one fortold...the Worm that shall hoist their victories on my song.
[The worm starts moving in circles as he plays more of a...not refined tune, but something torn from chaos to make a tune for sure. The ducks quack along, circling the bush worm creature.]
no subject
[ It's honestly pretty impressive. ]
Very well. I will allow those who wish to join you on your conquest to do so.
