[open video, 4/20 squeaky voice] | Skill Sharing!

[ The screen blips on to Hunk, reclined across a couch. Balmogra the moogle's pom-pom occasionally drifts into the top of the frame, and Hunk's eyes keep glancing towards it. As he starts talking, he's entirely oblivious to the fact that his voice is high-pitched and squeaky. ]

Hey, so with other people asking about things like our stories, our worlds, and our jobs, I realized that we don't actually know a lot about what we can all do! Like... I learned that some people have never been grocery shopping before! Or some can't cook! Or some people don't know how technology here works. Since we're all stuck here, we might as well try to help each other out, right? So what are some things you know or want to know?

Me, I know about cooking and engineering and mechanics. But I don't know anything about magic. Or how to defend yourself from a monster that's up close and trying to eat you. Or how to use a giant fork in a fight? Or why they use forks here to begin with.

[ He pauses for a moment, looking almost uncomfortable, and then- ]

And if you're embarrassed to say something you can't do, you can always send it to me and I'll mention it for you!

( This is super open and threadjacking is possible and totally okay! )

[ Hunk wants to ask about St. Germain, but he knows Okuyasu gets a bit touchy about home. So he doesn't. Shelved for later, even though baking is the best thing about cooking. Plus, poor guy's bamboozled by technology, gotta pounce on that. ]

You didn't know about that? I mean, sure you can type, but [ He holds the slate in one hand, typing I'm typing this right now! :D and sending it to Okuyasu. ] sometimes you just gotta be lazy. Or you're busy.

[ And then he turns on voice-to-text again, making sure to enunciate the punctuation for the emoticon. ] Seriously, typing's a pain sometimes. :( [ Then he hits send. ]

DUUUDE!

[He holds his up to his face.] Sparks Nevada is a little bitch!

[That phrase pops up on the screen, much to Okuyasu's delight. He's a teenage boy, this is the pinnacle of comedy.]

This is something right out of Star Wars! No, like...like Star Trek! This stuff is real? Not magic?

[ Hunk's eyes go a little wide at the language towards the good Marshall. He's not sure why he expected better from Okuyasu, but he did. But he shrugs it off, if only to make sure his pal's enthusiasm isn't stomped on. ]

Well, Vaikuntha just loves magic, so there might be some, [ And then he rolls his eyes judgmentally. ] but this sorta thing was pretty common back home. Even ignoring the whole "space" thing.

[ And then he just starts to grin. ] But one time, in space, we got a bunch of these little cubes that repeated sounds back to you. [ Hunk barely manages to stifle a laugh. ] So I made them make a fart noise, and it just...

Pppffffffftttttttt. Forever. [ And now he's giggling like a small child. ]

[It felt good to yell his frustrations about his grouchy housemate at the computer and see it immortalized as text. He should do this more often - well, it's not as cathartic as writing it down, but it's hilarious. He has to test this function with naughty words when he returns home.]

All of them? At once? [That sounds like a Stand, which means it's dangerous but hilarious in this context.]

[chefbayardee]

[ Of course Okuyasu had questions about the farting cubes. This is fine. ] Yep! All of them. Just farting. [ And he starts giggling. ] Well, at least until someone else said something.

They'd just repeat back the last thing they heard... which was still pretty funny. [ Now he's grinning. It's almost like they're great for nonsense. ]
