Video 🔥❄️ A Special Announcement

Type: Video
Sender ID: Clive Rosfield (gruffier) and Jill Warrick (tilfrosset)
To: Public to everyone!
Subject: The two lovebirds have something important they'd like to say.
Warnings: They're being disgusting. Seriously.

[The feed opens to a blurry image of poorly jostled movements. Sounds of rattling scraping against the speaker of the shellphone indicates an attempt to prop it against something solid. Finally, after a few more moments (got to get the angle just right!) the image clears, revealing not one- but two faces on the other side of the screen.

Clive and Jill, at your service!
]

Good day, everyone. [Clive begins, his back straight and voice almost mirroring an authoritative tone. However, despite how rigid he looks, the man was smiling. His scarred face wrinkled with creases of a genuine gleam as he looks to Jill before finally returning to address the camera.] We thought it proper to give a formal announcement…

[ He’s not the only one who’s smiling. Jill is too, though much less rigid in her posture. Her shoulders are relaxed, looking as if someone has taken a large load off of them for one and together the pair make a picture of two giddy schoolkids up to no good. She reaches out for his hand, taking it into hers, and clasping it tightly before addressing the camera as well. The measure of support they give one another is obvious and what they have to say shouldn’t come as much of a surprise if given a little thought to how much they mean to each other.. ]

Not only proper, but more… efficient in this manner. Rather than leave it to the winds to carry the message, we want to tell all that we know at once.

[ She glances back over at Clive with expectant eyes, wondering if she should say it or if he should. But on second thought, she shakes her head and decides not to force the man of few words to come up with the entire message. ]

We would like to officially announce our betrothment.

[ Now that the main message is out there for all and sundry, she gives the floor back to Clive. ]

Yes. [Clive listens and nods along with a fondness on his face to that of a beggar receiving an abundance of gil. He holds Jill’s hand tightly in return, giving a look of a man clearly in love, before eventually offering the camera a half glance.]

Thank you for the kindness you have shown Jill and I. We pray that you will continue to support us as we take our next steps— [Annnd just like that his gaze leaves the camera completely and back onto Jill, dripping his head slightly.] —together.

Yes… Together.

[ Because that’s how they always do things, isn’t it? That much is certain with how she shifts to face him fully, to take in the man she loves with every bit of her soul. Apologies to anyone having to suffer through this. The shellphone and whoever is watching this broadcast no longer exist in her world; just the two of them remain at this moment. A moment more than well earned in two lives that were once full of nothing but strife and pain.]

Yes, it does.

I know it can be difficult to understand emotion through here so...I wanted to be sure I didn't upset you.

That said, I still hope you'll accept my gift.

As it seems as if you're quite determined about it, very well then.

But please don't put yourself out too much on our behalf. We're simple people just wanting a peaceful life.

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-09 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay then.

Um...what kind of food do you like?
tilfrosset: ([81])

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-10-11 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm rather fond of baked goods. Breads, pastries, things of that sort.

Clive, on the other hand, isn't choosy. He'll accept just about anything.
scooba: (Squall)

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-11 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay then. Baked goods.

I haven't really baked much before but I can try to make some cookies. Would that be okay?

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-10-11 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be just fine, as long as you really don't put yourself out too much for them.
scooba: (Be Nice To Me)

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-11 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
But I want to.

Especially when it's supposed to be a gift. I want to try my best on them.

Then I'll look forward to them.

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-11 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then...where is the best place to go once I'm finished?
tilfrosset: ([44])

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-10-11 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Would somewhere on Eltrut do well for you? We could meet there for an exchange.
scooba: (A Home for Flowers)

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-12 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
That would be fine.

However, you don’t need to give me anything in return.
tilfrosset: ([04])

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-10-14 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
A gift requires at least a thank you note. It's customary.
scooba: (I Can't Handle Change)

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-14 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'm happy with anything. You can give me whatever you want.

...As long as it isn't coffee, that is.
tilfrosset: ([25])

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-10-14 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Dragon's Milk on Elturt has tea. We can meet there unless you don't care for tea either.
scooba: (Savior)

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-15 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't mind tea.

That would be lovely. Thank you, it means a lot you still wanted to give me something...
tilfrosset: (Default)

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-10-21 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Then tea it shall be. If you can, we'll meet at noon?
scooba: (Deep Swim)

[personal profile] scooba 2024-10-22 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fine.

Um....I'll see you then? And thank you.
tilfrosset: ([26])

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-10-22 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Again, you're welcome.
