Reprise #2 [Video > Text] > Other Father: Mention the Garden Party and start using Funny Text

[otherfathering]

Hey there, e~veryone! Thought I'd just sing a note on a little idea that came to me, concernin' the upcomin' blackout.

I've been workin' on the family garden since I got back'ta Johto, the other month; I've been tryin' to get it like the garden back home, y'see- my other home- [he laughs a little, realizing that could get a little confusing.] the one before the sunny streets of Goldenrod. As such, It's got itself a jazzy little light-show goin' on, so I thought wh~y not let it shine its brightest? In the dark! fI plan on setting the lights to dim, bringing out the al~mighty B-B-Q, and puttin' on a little show. And best of all, e~veryone's welcome! Couples n' singles alike.

It'll be startin' sundown, on Valentines day! If y'could, just bring along some food and we'll a~ll be set. O~r if you'd like to perform, we could get a little new-talent set-list going on.

See y'soon!

[The feed turns off, but some text transmits after, written in an orangish-red colour and in a familiar font to those who know the Homestucks. Attached is the address to his house, details, and this:]

And hey, kids, I finally thought I'd join in with this fun little text you all have going! 8) Thanks to Mr. Armstrong for the help.

[It's finally happened. Fathering the Homestucks has gotten to him... good thing he doesn't use text much.]

A Valentine's party, huh?

[video]

[otherfathering]

Mmm-hm; 'though you're always welcome at home, if you ever want to come over.

[video]

[vulpesvivus]

Thanks, but I'd probably just make the whole place depressing.

[video]

[brokenmemories]

Valentine's day, huh?

That sounds rather fun.

[video]

[otherfathering]

Come on over, if you're in the area. It's gonna be a lo~tta fun.

[video]

[brokenmemories]

I have work that day but I guess I'll try to make it there.

I don't mean to be rude but may I have a name?

[There is nothing about the communicator that is familiar to her, but Justine Florbelle is a quick learner. Nonetheless, she finds that she likes the audio function best, since it's like she's talking to someone she's not facing or who was recorded on one of the phonographs she invented back home. And now a (somewhat flamboyant) man is talking about parties.

So Other Father is now treated to a young, lilting voice with a French accent.]

I must say that that sounds absolutely delightful, but I am inclined to ask if parties are traditional on Valentine's Day.

[video forever]

[otherfathering]

[That's a lovely accent, lady he's never met! He's not entirely sure where it's from, but he'd like to know.]

Everyday's a day for a party. Wouldn't know with Valentines; this's only my second.

[Audio forever]

[eternallywithoutfear]

Ah, they do not celebrate Valentine's where you come from? It can become quite the to-do sometimes, and I must admit that receiving a lovely card can brighten up one's day, but a party seems like a much nicer way to celebrate.

[trailweblaze]

what's the deal with the funny colored text really?

[video]

[otherfathering]

Just a fun little thing the kids like t'do. Seems like it's been spreadin', though.

[ghostytrainer]

[He could have easily gone and found Other Father and told him this in person but...well he's so excited about the text.]

probably goes without saying but count me in!

[otherfathering]

Of course! But you haven't got anything planned with Rose?

[shippingmath]

[Other Father wanted to meet Dirk; here's his chance, now.]

Congrats, you're one of us now.

[otherfathering]

[Text party! He doesn't notice who this is, though. He checks the network ID, so he doesn't make any mistakes- Oh, it's Dirk! The third Strider.]

A year not in vain! Looks like I finally get to speak to you, Dirk! 8D

[Audio]

[searsblindly]

What is everyone so excited about? What kind of light show are we talking about? What's so interesting about them that people are making such a huge deal about it?

[She's starting to feel like she's missing out on something, but she doesn't even know what it is.]

[otherfathering]

[hello child he's never met]

A garden show, kiddo! Lights shine fa~r brighter in the darkness; I hope to give one of the best shows you ever saw.

[Father. no. she's blind.]

There's a blackout to help the mating of two Pokémon, y'see; so the skies are gunna be d a r k on Valentines.

[tendered]

Ooh! I've never been to a barbecue, but a light show on the ground and in the sky sounds super cute!

I'll be there! What type of things do you barbecue anyways? [ Besides rowdy Shinigami if you're Head Captain Yamamoto... ]

[Video]

[otherfathering]

I'm hopin' they'll hit the sky this time! Less surroundin' lights means more room to shine.

Hm... All sorts. Meat mostly. We've got hot dogs, burgers, meatballs, kebabs~! Any requests?

[santafancier]

Jazzy light show? Hot socks, that sounds like quite the little clambake you've got going on there, sir! Might have to stop on by if that's alright with you, of course.

[You jad her at "Jazz", tall, handsome stranger.]

Oh, but is Aradia one of your kids then? Since she types in a right fun little shade of red.

[otherfathering]

The mo~re, the merrier, m'am!

She is indeed, 'though the colour choice is my own. She's got a lotta style- but so do a~ll of my kids.

[timelymaid]

[otherfathering]

Come on over to the house whene~ver you like, Aradia. The help'll be- well- helpful! [Chuckle]

Couple'a shades lighter than yours, I'd say! I reckon know who's got the better colour here... [You, of course! <3]

[thewhite_symphony]

I'd love to come, Other Father. It sounds like a lot of fun!

Would you mind very much if I bring someone along?

[otherfathering]

We~ll if tha~t isn't a voice for sore ears! [He's grinning pretty widely, right now. It's been a while.]

Valentines is a day for love; I'd be sad if you didn't.
