[Video Post] un:redbird

[timmers]

[Tim has finally decided to rekindle an old hobby and get himself a camera. The video opens to a medium-sized mirror, from which you can see Tim holding up an SLR, dressed casually with a warm jacket, like he might be about to go out.]

It's been a while since I held one of these. Hope I haven't gotten rusty. [Tim smiles a bit wryly, thinking about the last time he'd held a camera.]

More importantly, I'm thinking of shooting a calendar to raise some additional funds for a couple of community activities.  I'm open to theme suggestions, if anyone has any.

If you're feeling braver than that, I'm heading out now to get a feel of things if anyone wants to be a test subject.
Just make sure you're not afraid of heights. [A grin for that, but you've been warned.]

Oh, boo, there goes all my amazing plans
I kinda thought the whole point of fundraising calendars was that they were risqué?

[timmers]

Well, uh. Think of the children?

I mean, it's for a good cause, that's plenty of point. If you're interested though, why not join the community team?

[/plug]

[spellslots]

I'm just saying like, if you wanna raise money for kids isn't the usual MO a bake sale or whatever? Calendars are for naked firefighters

[this is just science, timothy]

Community team of what, exactly?

[timmers]

Naked--- What happened to calendars of puppies and kittens? Or inspirational landscape calendars?

[Please, he is just trying to be a good boy. And he can't bake a whit.] ...I don't even think I've seen any firefighters here. Wouldn't the closest thing just be the Perimeter Guard? [That's...got to have some interesting personalities in it.]

Of Riverview. Technically, I'm just the community youth ambassador and I do some fundraising so we can have some community welfare or community building activities. So far, I'm just at the fundraising part.

i am. very sorry

[spellslots]

Can't relate

[Taako's never owned a calendar in his life but if he did it would definitely be a naked firefighter one.]

There's gotta be some kinda firefighters cause they like, put out the fire that happened ages ago? But maybe you're onto something with the perimeter guard thing 🤔🤔🤔

Oh. I do my community service just by existing, I don't need to contribute any more than that

same.

[timmers]

That's a shame, I guess someone else will be in charge of getting all those firefighters in position, then.

[He's just baiting now. Can't hurt. Probably.]

...I guess every community needs a case study. [Don't be like this, kids.]

please don't be

[spellslots]

The day I need help getting a bunch of firefighters in position is the day someone better shoot me to put me outta my misery

And hey, I'm an orphan that grew up on the streets and now I'm fucking famous, not a bad example

[milk it harder, Taako.]

[timmers]

Written and witnessed. We just won't be allowing anyone not affiliated with the program to get too close to them. For security purposes, I'm sure you understand.

Funny, we have a whole house of those where I come from. Who were you, again?

[spellslots]

I get it, I get it. I'm sure I can handle the firefighters in their downtime, you know?

[stop this]

I'm Taako, you know, from TV?

[timmers]

And I'm sure plenty of them can handle you. [He hopes, but Riverview seems to be getting along just fine.]

[But it's like a trainwreck. You gotta see what happens next!]

...Not our TV, that's for sure. So... you do stuff with tacos? [That's... an educated guess. He's seen worse themed villain names, come on.]

[spellslots]

They can try 😉

Don't be fucking rude. Taako's a pretty traditional elf name, just cause you thugs decided to have a food that's spelled kinda similar isn't my fault. I didn't even know what the fuck a taco was until Joaquin taught me to make them

[timmers]

My bad. Elf name, huh?

Do you know someone named Link?[He hasn't really touched base in a while since he moved out of the community floor, but Link was an elf, too.]

And there are TVs where you come from? [That's surprisingly modern. Even Link didn't really seem to get most modern technology.]

[spellslots]

What, you think all elves know each other? That's kinda racist. What's next, we all look alike?

[Don't be a shit, Taako]

There sure is. I'm a famous chef and like, I saved reality? No biggie

[what does TV stand for. it's a mystery but it sure as hell isn't television]

[timmers]

You got me there. My apologies.

I was kind of wondering if you were from the same realities.

[Besides, Link cooks well and is some kind of hero, too. So, not really helping your case, Taako.]

Is there a song and dance?

[spellslots]

If he's from Fearun we could be but I dunno every fucker who lives in that world

[not "my", but it's where he last was]

There was a song. For the reality saving. Kinda why they call it the Day of Story and Song, I guess

[timmers]

No kidding? Must be a pretty big step down for you, then, coming here.

[spellslots]

I mean yeah, for sure. Though it is kinda nice that not every single dipshit in this reality knows my life story, voidfish are stupid fucking animals

[timmers]

Void...fish?

Do I want to know?

[spellslots]

Magic space jellyfish, eats memories and shit but can also broadcast whatever it ate to an entire reality, they like music the most, I guess?

[timmers]

That's... suspiciously convenient. How does 'entire reality' work?

[Oh no, geek mode on.]

[spellslots]

Super fucking inconvenient, if I'm being honest.

Any chance you know what the planar system is?

[timmers]

Let's say I don't. [Even if he did, he suspects it might be called something different.]

[spellslots]

Fuck, okay, so what we're in right now is the material plane, easy to guess what that means by the name. The entire universe fits inside the material plane, and then there's the connected planes with all their different shit, magic, elemental, celestial, astral, etc. If you know how, you can get outside one planar system and travel to another. Best guess is that the portal here is one way of doing that, yeah?

Anyway since most dipshits here don't know about the planar system I just tend to call each one a reality. So a voidfish can transmit information to every single plane in whatever system it's in

[timmers]

If the universe fits into the material plane, does that mean other planes are immaterial?

[spellslots]

Basically? Astral plane is the dead, celestial is gods, magic is just pure magical energy

It filters through the ethereal plane cause if you straight up put the planes of energy into the material plane everything fucking dies
