VIDEO, @GEKOKUJOU

(in the beginning, it looks like suigetsu is trying to take a selfie with a particularly horrifying looking fish with teeth longer than its dorsal spines. but he lowers his peace sign, pulls the phone closer for a flattering view of double-chin, and grins into the camera.)

Yo, I'm Houzuki Suigetsu, and this is my first network post of all time. I'm gonna make an announcement to commemorate it, so listen, okay? I won't repeat myself just 'cause you wouldn't pay attention the first time around!

(hope your phone has a translator, because it's notably japanese, both spoken and written on the sign suigetsu lifts up. it looks handmade and like something a child in elementary school could cook up. and while there's an attempt at english, to appease the majority of the people here, both languages have poor spelling and even poorer handwriting.)

Do you like fish and fish-like things? Amphibians and, uh, things that look a lot like amphibians that I'm not too sure about? Well, look no further than—



(eyes creasing, there's a flash of pointy chompers that make him look like he belongs there.)

We were open before this, but I thought that there should be more of you guys going now that I work there. Like the sign says, we're open every single day except for Sunday, from nine in the morning till five in the evening. This might mean that you can't come, 'cause you're at your own job, but you should leave there and come here for a tour instead!

What do you think? It's a swell idea, right? Are you coming right now?

(a tilt to his head, raising the phone back up so only his eyes, his forehead, and his fish friends are visible. many bubbles are blown, many alien crab pincers are pinced. and honestly? it looks kind of fun.)

Lemme know if you are, so I can meet you at the entrance and give you one of my super special all-inclusive tours, with a bonus prize if you listen to my whole talk without interrupting. How could you pass an opportunity like this up?! The right answer is that you can't!

Suigetsu, out-o!

[ ...Gladio winces the moment he sees the hand-drawn sign featured in this advertisement, and spends the next few minutes giving careful consideration to the idea that maybe Suigetsu never went to school. ]

[ Anyway, he should probably answer this. ]

Ahh. You have some interesting stuff here.

...Are you on exhibit, Suigetsu?

[ ... ]

If you're not sure about something being an amphibian, shouldn't you study before you give tours? That, and you should also study your spelling and handwriting before making new signs.

Are you kidding? With an ability as cool as yours?

[ Gladio folds his arms and grins. ]

I'd wanna be center stage. Get lots of fans, maybe some pretty ones.

[ GUYS CAN BE PRETTY TOO I MEAN JUST LOOK AT HIM ]

You can have those too - with your face printed on 'em. It'll make for a good advertisement for your aquarium.

[ Maybe spelled correctly, though. ]

No, no... you give the fans out. When it's hot outside, people are gonna use 'em.

Then they see you and... [ What is even the name of this place, it's barely legible ] the name of your aquarium. Trust me, it'll work.

[ Gladiolus stares, then sighs. He tried. ]

Suit yourself. Hey, do you like water volleyball?

[ Gladio squints. FOR REAL? ]

Uh... a competitive sport? It's fun. If I get enough people together, I want you on my team.

*Lola's practicing how to pronounce Suigetsu's name as the video starts, just under her breath trying to get the emphasis and sounds out. Japanese is not a language she's any good at. But she's trying!*

Do you have any really colorful fish? But, um...

*Don't let the icon fool you, Lola's hair is currently a neon green.*

The teeth thing, that's like normal for you, right?

Don't make it that obvious in your advertisement; that's my point. [ But... there's something about the change in Suigetsu's demeanor that gets to him -- even him -- and his tone softens marginally. ]

I can't speak for the design of the sign. It just contains spelling errors.

[ Try not to overthink it, Gladio wants your mad command in water skills for his team. HELL YEAH. ]

Guess that depends on how far into the lead we are... [ He scrubs at his chin and thinks a moment, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. ] And how much face you wanna lose to your competitors.

[ Gladio leans his head to the side. Huh. Okay, guess they're really close. ]

Dunno yet, I only just thought of it... all this talk of water reminded me that you were the kind of guy I wanted on my team.

[ Let's just keep it simple and straightforward - not a complete answer but it'll do for now. ]

You and Sasuke are close, huh?

[ Ah. Nakama then, or at least maybe at one point. He understands this. ]

Do I need a reason to ask? I don't know anyone here, I'm - [ A pause. ] Maybe a little envious.
