Uu-! Hi everyone..! Today Maria and Beato have a question for everyone!

[ Maria is practically as cheery as ever when she waves at the camera - except she's not alone right now, there's someone sitting there with her, and she turns to that person with a smile as if urging her to speak on.

Beato waves too, as excited about this as HER TINY ONEESAN Maria. ]

We thought of this some days ago, while watching the people in the tea house. You all come from very diferent places, are we wrong? I can only imagine how many wonderful stories you all have!

And so we want to hear e-verything about you and your world! [ she's just fistpumping here now, look at all this double excitement. ] Uu-, so everyone, please tell us your stories, okay? Beato and Maria re-ally want to know!

We'll be waiting! Thank you so much!

( ooc: replies will come from both Maria and Beato (fathersbeloved) and will be a bit delayed (especially on my side, since I'm going to bed right now and will get to them tomorrow)! )

-could the stories go both way?

Because I'd like to hear about you two just as much.

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

Ah... I hadn't thought of it that way. But I believe it's a fair trade.

[video]

[uuing]

Uu-, of course they could..! [ a giggle. ]

Maria doesn't mind telling anything at all!

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Everything? That could take a while, you know. Maybe if you gave me a place to start?

[She has so much she could tell you about technicolor little ponies.

[Video]

[fathersbeloved]

What about stories that make you smile? I love those kind of stories!

[Video]

[uuing]

Normally people would say 'at the beginning', right, uu-...

[ she's pondering this for a few momens though. ]

How about a funny story?

[Video.]

[shakespearealien]

[Gorthan seems to think it over for a while, before finally replying.]

I fear that my story is not one you would like.

[Video.]

[uuing]

Uu-, of course we'd like the story..! [ Maria can't help but puff her cheeks a little, like some kind of pouty little kid (which is exactly what she is.) ]

Maria likes all kinds of stories, a-ll of them!

[Video.]

[fathersbeloved]

Why not?

[3_butterflies]

I think I remember telling Maria that I'd be willing to tell her anything about my home... Let me see... how about when I got my Cutie Mark? That's a personal favorite of mine.

[uuing]

Uu-, that's right! Maria remembers..!

And now Beato can hear too, right? Kyakyakya! Please tell a-ll about it! [ a smile. ]

*Hayate's just going to... not mention how awkward it is hearing Beatrice's voice again (bah)*

Stories, huh... I'm not all that sure if anything I've dealt with would really make for a good full on story. More like a chapter of a manga or an anime episode...

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

[You're Lion's friend therefore you're amazing NO AMOUNT OF AWKWARD WILL MAKE HER STOP SMILING CUTELY AT YOU.]

Any story that makes you smile will do fine, Hayate! We want to know about everyone's worlds!

[video]

[uuing]

[ Smiling cutely x2 combo. ]

Uu-, I'm sure all of Hayate's stories are really exciting, full of action..!

[video]

[paladinlost]

Everything? Very well, but I'll need suggestions for a starting point.

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

Hello Cecil! [WAVES :D]

You've already told me beautiful stories about your wife and son... I'd like to hear stories that make you happy.

[video]

[uuing]

Uu-, a lot of people don't know where to start.. Maria wants to hear anything but a sad story!

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Sure, no problem! My world--

[...actually, easier said than done.]

--uh, where should I start?

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

[Can't help but giggle a bit, Maria was right about people not knowing where to start...]

Maybe you could tell us about the thing you love most of your world?

[video]

[uuing]

Uu-! Maria knows..! You could maybe tell about your family or your friends..?

[video]

[used_trick]

I like stories. What kinda stories y'want?

[video]

[uuing]

Uu-! How about a story about the city you come from..?

[Video]

[usedcharm]

A story, huh? I think I can manage that.

[It takes her a few minutes to decide on a story, but once she does, Rinoa launches into it without any more delay.]

Once, not so long ago in a land far away, there was a girl who was desperately searching for help. You see she was the member of a group of rebels who were fighting for the freedom of their city from an oppressive government that didn't care about the people they ruled over. So to find help, she attend a special ball held in honor of people who would help almost anyone, if the price was right. And while she was at this ball, she met the handsomest guy she'd ever seen in her life.

[This story is way better than that boring one about Hyne and how he tricked the world/sorceresses got their magic. Yes, yes indeed.]

[Video]

[uuing]

Uu-, most handsome guy..? What did he look like, was he really that pretty? Maria wants to know..!

[video]

[hopeboy]

[A sheepish smile as Takeru tries to gather these stories in his head. Ahhh there's a lot of them.]

Where do you want to start?

[video]

[uuing]

Uu-, don't you usually start at the beginning..?

[video]

[impulsives]

...My world, huh.

[HM. Have a thinking and mumbling Shinn.]

...Well, there's a lot about it actually, where to start...?

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

I know there are ah... giant robots. And some kind of quarrel.

[video]

[usedthemonkey]

Talk about me? That's pretty much my favorite thing ever!

Impressing the babes is a close second. Luckily here, I'll get to do both at the same time.

[Johnny flexes a bit for the camera.]

[video]

[uuing]

Uu-, Maria's a babe..? [ she doesn't even know what it means. ]

Don't get it. But uu-, please tell about yourself!
