Okaaaaay! I know what you are all here for today, a bounty? A chance to beat someone's face in!? I want that too, but I'm bringing somethin' else to the table.

[ the camera shuffles, surge can be seen relaxing on someone's bed with her legs crossed, and what seems to be a small book in hand. the background suggests she's in a very tidy room which doesn't match her personality, however... in the corner of the video, a busted down door can be seen with the hinges broken off, and then the camera's readjusted to show only surge and that mischievous smile of hers. ]

So Chick had me thinkin' you know, everyone got a lil creative side, so I thought maybe revealing these techniques would lighten everything up.

[ leaning up, surge flips through the book in hand searching for something and... ]

Aha! So I'll start with someone I know who does this almost every day. Ahem! Here we have one that happens to the best of us. I feel as if this one needs a beat... DRIPPY, HAND ME THAT GUITAR....

[ with the guitar in hand, and the questionable pick is when surge begins to strum at the strings to find a beat. she's a little taken aback on how this works because this is different from what she's seen, but her beat is off-rhythm and she gives a little screamo action on this poetic piece of literature she memorized as another piece of art slides on screen. ]

MY WALLET IS SO EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I COULD USE A PENNYYYYYYYY OR TWENTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
THE STAAAAAAAAAAAATEEEEEEEEE OF MY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNKKKKKKK SO UNKEMPTLYYYYYYYYYYYY
DOO DOO DOOOOOOOOOOOOO, DEE DEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[ that one speaks for itself as surge finishes up her "technique" on the guitar, one of the strings snapping, and she throws it on the floor afterwards. with that done, surge flips to another page, squinting to look over at her camerafox picture he wants to use then down at the writing.

once found, the picture takes the entire view. ]

Bees buzzing so loud
Crocodiles full of sound
It's snowing on Mt. Fuji

[ as they prepare for the next one, surge is shuffling through pages unable to find what she wants... ] This next one gunna take a minute, Drippy do a commercial break or somethin' I need to find this one.

--COMMERCIAL BREAK STARTS--

[ kit and surge each leave from one side of the camera, going offscreen until...

a piece of paper is lifted in front of the camera, and slowly moved from one side to the other. behind it, some might recognize that they're hearing kitsunami's voice. ]

Do do do do doo, do do d-do do... Doo... Do not buy Build-A-Bot!

[ after this important message, the picture slides off camera, and now surge is somewhere else inside of the room, and there's a little quaint desk for calligraphy by her side. surge stands with sharktooth grin as another image comes from above, covering the camera. again, surge's voice can be heard as she reads off another hit. ] For the finale of Peaches' Hikes, we'll end it off on one that makes a lotta sense to me.

[ here comes the last image from below, covering the shellphone screen, and revealing... a masterpiece as surge reads off that little book she has. ]

Seashells on the sea shore
There is a very loud snore
Ignoring it is a chore
Would like to stop being poor
Waiting around is a bore

Well, there ya have it! All sorts of creative Hikes in this little book, now if anyone has any critiques or things they'd like to say. Love, love, looooooooooooooooooove to hear'em.

[ she throws the book onto the ground as she's done with it. ] Anyway, everyone say thank you to Della Duck for bringing us together as a community to showcase our talents. Remember to like and subscribe.

[ one last piece of paper comes on the screen. ]

[ then the video cuts off. ]

"Fun as that might be, you don't wanna go and muddle your message."

[To most that build-a-bot-interim probably seemed like an afterthought. An extra bit of craziness in a slew of nonsense. And maybe it was wishful thinking on Axel's part to see it as more than that but..]

"If you're using the stuff halfhazardly, you don't want people to pay more attention to that then what you're doing. Be a real shame if someone ignores all your work because they're distracted "

[No, these two give him the distinct of impression of two bold troublemakers, unafraid to make a statement and liable to do something as equally disruptive as it would be effective.

...exactly the kind of thing Lea or Isa might have done.]

"You want an expert on site for that."

[Precisely why he wants to be the one to bring it up first. If he's right, the next step to these 'grand schemes' always involved it getting progressively more 'flashy.'
And as if to confirm her question, the Nobody snaps his fingers and the entire screen behind him fills with flames.]

"Just call me Mr. Fire Safety."

[ her hands slip into the pockets of her pants as she watches the other, her message... huh. it's the first time someone has said anything like that here, perceptive or he's seeing more than what's meeting the eye. not a bad thing, that's why she gives a wide, shark-tooth grin. ]

Yeah! All this hard work, I don't want anythin' to go amiss! Then it'd feel like a waste.

[ look at how much work they put in already outside of breaking down his door and using the poetry she found. fortunately, she even has more to offer to people if they're willing to hear it.

when he says expert, surge raises her brow curious, leaning into the camera as she squints. it's when the fire flashes into the background with ease, he can see the reflection in her eyes as she whistles at the sight.

and does she whistle. ]

Well, Mr. Fire Safety, sure! But damn, you should take "Hot Stuff" as an alternate.

[ see, this is what she likes to see, talents that makes her double take like "wait, there's somethin' about you" that sparks her interest. ]

That's cool as hell, you can just do it a la snap? On and off?

"Oh I wouldn't say that."

[He raises both hands into view to display them, as the flames die down all the same. He doesn't need to snap~]

"Or you could just call me Axel."

[Not that 'Hot Stuff' is an unflattering moniker, especially compared to other things he has been called lately.]

"And sparks are your thing, huh?"

I get it, ya got me.

[ she sees what he's trying to say, her eyes watching as the flames slowly die down with ease. ]

That's just somethin' ya do, impressive! I don't really see that kind of action from people lately.

[ what she gets are zombies, crying moms, and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't quite make since, but hey. their life, not hers.

at his question, surge's eyes shine a brighter blue as a blueish white energy snaps from her bracelet to her ring. he can hear what is eletrical pops as they bounce off her hands. ]

I can't do toooooooooo much, this isn't my place, but you get the idea, yeah?

[Just as he thought, an electric user. Axel hasn't seen anyone wield that kind of magic since Larxene. It if even was magic, with that bracelet as some part of it? Unexpectedly the redhead finds himself flinch as the currents begin to bounce around.
Hrm. Getting tasered into unconsciousness recently hadn't been pleasant.]

"Oh yeah, I got it memorized." [He covers smoothly with a tap to his temple.]

"Well Surge, you put quite on a show."

[And he gives a little parting wave. He's satisfied he communicated what he needed. No playing with fire without him, now.]

[ gone so soon? isn't that interesting, of course the tenrec can't help but be curious about him too.

it's with the wave that she offers one back, albeit a little slow with a mischievous grin on her face. yeah, whoever this guy is is someone she'll have to keep an eye out for no matter the circumstances, it seems like it wouldn't be bad to stretch her relationships with different kinds of people here. ]
