Flynn || video 001

[hi everyone, this is Flynn on your screen right now. Might be difficult to guess because his Dreamberry is angled in a way that obscures everything but his upper body and his hands, which gesture animatedly as he speaks:]

Citizens of Somarium! Hi. Flynn here. I have two questions... First, has anyone figured out how to purge the EVIL from these

Eat umeboshi. [He states, as if it is the most comprehensible phrase in the world. As it is, he rarely gets colds - but when he has them, he adds a little more pickled plum to his diet in addition to 'sweating' things out with a hot shower or bath.]

[foundaprincess]

What's that?

[you fight lightning and leap across rain-slicked rooftops... and you are somewhat impervious to colds. what are you and can you pass it on to Flynn? :|]

[ishikawa_juusan]

Pickled plum. [Sour and salty, baby - best eaten with other things, of course.]

[foundaprincess]

Plums huh. How many should I eat to get rid of this damn headache?

[ishikawa_juusan]

I don't know. [Gee, Goemon. To be fair, he cannot provide an exact number here.]

[foundaprincess]

Uh huh.

And how does this little remedy work exactly...? [does it relieve the sinuses? ease muscle pains? cool a sore throat]

[ishikawa_juusan]

I have heard that it helps to cleanse one's system of toxins and reduces acidity in the body. It is popular where I am from, and is frequently trusted as a treatment for many health problems. Colds, hangovers, and digestive complications are only to name a few.

[foundaprincess]

Huh. So an all-around cure then. Cool. Do I just eat 'em raw?

[ishikawa_juusan]

[A small part of him would derive some mischievous amusement from getting Flynn to eat umeboshi plain before learning it was something of an acquired taste, and meant to be eaten with other things.] You will find them pickled at _______* They will look like this.[He casually lifts some of his lunch into view - and lo and behold, one of those slightly shriveled plums can be seen over a mound of rice.]

(*ooc: Insert name of large grocery store in Somni here.)

[foundaprincess]

[well, if you're lucky he might accidentally take a picture of himself in the attempt

...what? Somni? Grooooan] ...I'll go buy some when I can stand still for a minute without toppling over.

Thanks for the heads up, Ishi. [yes, nickname]

Ishi...?

[By far, this has to be the strangest way a foreigner has addressed him in Somarium - and despite trying to be tolerant of the mistakes others sometimes make, largely because he is certain his English is not perfect, this bastardization of his family name cannot be overlooke; it is in a class of its own. Had a chirpy, smiling young woman said it, however, perhaps he wouldn't have been as irritated...]

[foundaprincess]

Your name's really hard to pronounce. [says this matter-of-factly]

A fitting userpic... ^

[ishikawa_juusan]

As are many foreign names, to me. [He muses aloud, leaving the words 'but, I try' hanging unsaid in the air.]

|D

[foundaprincess]

It also has way too many syllables.

[take a leaf out of his book. Flynn. Ri-der. Short, sweet, simple, sexy?.]

[ishikawa_juusan]

There have been twelve generations of Ishikawa Goemon before me. [The words, 'you will not insult this name' are suggested from his manner.] I am honoured to have been given this name.
