[He needs space for all of his armor skins!! And his horrible American armor set once he’s finally out of level 25. But mostly for all of his glamour.]
It’s hard to find it fearsome when it laughs like that…
[Baby…]
Though I wouldn’t call it “hideous”, either. It’s more like… a child trying far too hard to be impressive.
no subject
[ Fandaniel carries on ruffling the hood over Cultist Grunty's hair, all to the background of the grunty whining about the whole ordeal. Cultist Grunty must be feared! Feared! But not for much longer. He'll relent soon enough and rise up to his feet again. ]
Though I hardly mean it without a touch of fondness, I suppose.
no subject
[How he was as a child… He looks between Fandaniel and the grunty, before he nods.]
I see. You must be embarrassed of how you were, then, desperate to be taken seriously and to seem as cooler and harsher then you actually were…
[Hm hm.]
Though, perhaps you’re still like that in some ways, so you can’t help but feel conflicted feelings for your mirror.
no subject
[ Excuse him while he strikes the most dramatically shocked pose he can imagine, leaning away from Owen, a hand flying to press against his chest. Aghast, simply aghast! Ah, but he drops that soon after. ]
You aren't wrong, although not all of that applies to my real life outside of this game. I rarely attempt to seem cool or harsh out there. Hm, but... [ He takes a moment to tap his chin thoughtfully. ] I don't believe I bother trying to be cool here, either.
[ But that said, he'll smirk at Owen. ]
Why? Do you think that I'm cool?
[ Well??? ]
no subject
[Absolutely not. He thinks Fandaniel is interesting, and his theatrics and shenanigans might be more endearing to Owen then most of the rest of the current playerbase, but “cool” is a bit much.
He’s… cute, like Cultist Grunty.]
I don’t know that “cool” is how I would describe you, but I think seeing what you get up to is endlessly entertaining.
[he’s not like the other beta testers………]
no subject
he's not like other girls eyyyy]Entertaining? Heh. Honestly, I believe I'll take that over cool.
[ A clown until the very end, after all. In any case, the tall clown turns back to the little grunty-shaped clown and bids him to stop flailing. ]
Cultist Grunty, could you swap the color of the lighting out here in the lobby? Why don't we try some purple instead?
[ Cultist Grunty huffs and puffs but at least it's no longer being treated like a cute little child (despite being exactly that, more or less). Given a command, it gives a loud "your wish is my command, heheheh~!" and opens a little menu. Beep, beep, and boop.
Red lighting shifts gradually to purple instead, throwing the tower's edgy interior into a gloomier kind of mood lighting. ]
no subject
[Because all of his theatrics totally weren’t a giveaway or anything.
Is the purple better, though? At least he got proof of what the grunty can do, even if it wasn’t really in question, but now the lighting is…]
I think this is just as bad as the red.
[Maybe they should go with pink, even if it’ll be just as clashing against the green as the red, but pink is a great color.]
no subject
[ Fandaniel stares a moment at the new color of the light and how it hits the room. Not quite as sinister, but certainly more mysterious. ]
I imagine green would be as bad, too.
no subject
[Though normal lighting would absolutely be even worse... Can't have that. This isn't the normie guild for normies.]
Though it's often used for dramatic effect in movies, so it might worth trying? You won't know until you see for yourself.
no subject
[ The little guild grunty perks up again once Fandaniel is addressing it. ]
Could you slowly go through the various green options we have for the lighting? Let us say about fifteen seconds per green.
[ And as before, it pops open a display to tap on and begins going through the greens. There aren't too many but there are a few. Dark green, pastel green, neon green, shamrock green. ]
no subject
I think the brighter greens aren’t horrible, but I’m not sold.
[Green lighting and the edgy decor makes it feel like they’re on a mad scientist movie set or something… It’s at least not as bad as red, in Owen’s opinion, but now he wants to see if they’ll go through the whole rainbow.]
What about blue?
no subject
Blue isn't even in the guild emblem, Owen.
no subject
[And yet that was his first choice for lighting...!!]
We might as well try every option, shouldn't we?
no subject
Well, yes, but red was the default! [ And he had simply left it on that. He puts fists to hips and looks generally put upon by the idea of running through every color not part of the emblem. Ugh. ] But if you must see blue, let us go through the entire lot.
[ Owen can waste his time right alongside Fandaniel. ]
Cultist Grunty, carry on through all the other color options, starting with the blues.
no subject
Actually...
[He has an idea. It'd be stupid, but it might just work.]
Is it possible to set the lights on a color rotation?
[Bust out the rainbow LEDs and make this a real gamer den...]
no subject
Well? You heard the man. Set a rotation.
[ Cultist Grunty gives an affirmative "heheheh~" and beep-boops away on its screen until the lights begin doing just that, slowly shifting from color to color, spaced out in a way to not make it too obnoxious. ]
no subject
Owen nods, happy with what he's done to the place.]
I think it looks fantastic. The best I think we could get.
no subject
[ But he won't tell Cultist Grunty to stop it. It can run... for a little while. Maybe he'll get used to the slowly transitioning colors and leave it, maybe he won't, but for now? It can stay. ]
All we need now is the music.
no subject
[The thought of a Telophoroi… Seems like a bad idea.]
Shame the music I usually play wouldn’t be suitable.
no subject
The music that you usually play? [ Fandaniel turns to give Owen a look, an eyebrow quirked. ] And pray tell, Owen, what music might that be?
no subject
[But he’s still going to be secretive and cagey about it.]
It’s more muted then you’d find at a rave, is all.
no subject
[ This time he turns around fully to face Owen rather than just to look his way, his hands dropping to his hips. ]
You can't say you play music and then not share. Inquiring minds want to know! Don't we, Cultist Grunty?
[ And, loyal as expected, Cultist Grunty immediately throws his hooves up as high as he can and hops over to Owen, wiggling at him.
Yes! We want to know! We want to know, hehehe~
no subject
[It’s hard to say no to Cultist Grunty. It’s just way too precious.]
It’s jazz, mostly. That’s all.
no subject
Jazz? Oh! [ Fandaniel wasn't sure what else to expect. Something more classical, perhaps, but jazz? Interesting. ] Yes, that's more suited for a club than a rave. Do you play a specific instrument for that?
no subject
[He pauses, looking like he’s considering something important. He has to decide how much to share with Fandaniel…]
I have played the harpsichord quite often, but mostly at the behest of my acquaintances.
