✪ Tricky! Soraoto takes lead! ✪ [Video/Text]

[loyal_cube]

[Suddenly there is a cheerful Cube on screen. He seems a bit more animated today when he speaks, and in a much perkier mood than he has recently.]

Hello, everyone!
It wasn't easy but I've finally prepared a space to start removing chips again!

Things will be a little different this time but for better! For right now, anyone wishing for their chip removed can do so without having to fill out any forms. It's great, don't you agree? I will ask that in place of the forms, that you bring something to trade, instead. It can be anything but I do prefer something gold, specially coins. If you don't have any gold, we can work something else out, okay?

And will my assistants please come see me? I have something for you! I'll be waiting around the hospital.

[Everything is repeated in text.]


((ooc: FYI Cube is being possessed by Soraoto, the demon who he summons from time to time. So, filling out Cube's chip form (or paying Soraoto) will do nothing right now (except maybe have Soraoto pull pranks on your character.) Cube will get back to chip removal requests when he actually regains control, in about a week. For questions or plotting, please contact me!
Action is welcome!))

[Oh, it's Cube! He seems like he's in a cheerful mood today!

While it's good to know that he can remove chips again, not filling out forms seems odd. Aren't they important? It does mean less filing to do, but still...And what's with the need for gold? Did Cube like gold?

No matter. Gakupo takes his communicator and leaves a note for Luka and Matthew that he'll be in the hospital helping Cube, and heads out. He had to run from a raptor, but luckily he can run faster than humans. It would do little good to be raptor food!

He reaches the hospital eventually, looking around the outside first to see if Cube is hanging about. Maybe he's at their last meeting place?]

[Cube Soraoto is sitting on top of the hospital roof, wings out and legs kicking over the side. When he sees Gakupo, he happily waves.]

Good morning!

[satellitemecha.livejournal.com]

You seem happier, Cube. Did something good happen?

[loyal_cube]

Oh, yes. Very much has happened. Many good things, at that! So many familiar faces have come back and on top of that, I'm getting a lot of work done!

I guess you can say, I haven't felt better!

[He is sitting on the rooftop of the hospital, kicking his feat, even has his wings exposed. That's all probably due to it not being Cube at all, and actually Soraoto but who's to say?]

It's good to take a break from all the work once in a while. It's refreshing! I felt so cooped up.

[voice] apologies in advance for the snappy turtle

[asitneverwas.livejournal.com]

You're telling people to pay you for something that's being done to help others?

...I guess this place is slowly working up the rung back into being like the societies we were pulled from.

[Oh, yes. He is bitter. Grumble.]

What, in terms of "else," would you accept? I have a cougar pelt, but I'm working it into a blanket for a friend and I'd rather not give it up.

[voice] It's okay. Cube will apologize later.

[loyal_cube]

[He shrugs, not very interested in a pelt. He's seen such things come and go, magic and non magic and he really has no use for one in his black void.]

Unfortunately, I don't think a pelt will do much in my current situation. I've dug quite a hole for myself by being helpful in the past, and so now I'm in debt and need to some up with a payment of sorts.

Are you saying someone else is offering the same service for free?

[lotsoftalent.livejournal.com]

That's great news to hear Cube! I'll make sure to do that right away.

I was wondering when you'd start doing it again.

[video]

[loyal_cube]

Oh? So, you're interested in me taking your chip out?

I just needed a little time to clear some things up and find some supplies.

[bitterage.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? You're charging for crap like that?

[loyal_cube]

It takes a bit of work to get chips out. Specially getting supplies. So, trade is necessary right now!

Or at least small favors!

[Flandre promptly appears shortly after the announcement went out, after she had put the rabbits back into their makeshift cages. She scarcely makes a sound as she does so; just a rattle from her wings as she lands and folds them away.

She isn't smiling.]

[Action]

[loyal_cube]

[Soraoto stands from the ledge of the hospital roof in which he was sitting on and smiles at Flandre. His wings are still out, in fact he stretches one.]

Have you decided to join me for a bit? Maybe entertain me?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...What? Surely Cube-san of all people could realize that those forms are necessary.

[loyal_cube]

They are but they're also a hassle, are they not?

Besides, I need supplies to keep removing chips. Trade is much better for our current situation.

[loyal_cube]

Money, trade, favors! I prefer gold, but since this place lacks such things, I'll take trade or favors to keep my supplies stocked and things flowing along.

[Peach looks confused at both the original video and at all the others who have replied. So many new faces, and not one seems familiar, aside from that of Michelangelo.]

Forgive me if I sound ignorant, but what exactly is a chip?

[loyal_cube]

It's quite alright, Miss! The chip is a small little square thing that is in your body when you get here. It makes it so you can't use magic or any other abilities. It also can make you do funny things!

It's best to have it removed to prevent problems in the future.

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Is there even gold here?

[video]

[loyal_cube]

Has to be, somewhere. I've found some before but I need more... to pay off a debt.

But seems no one is willing to part with any, so I guess I'm left to accepting favors. [siiiiiigh]

[Oh, good, Cube seems pretty happy.]

['Gold coins']

[luke-triton.livejournal.com]

[Was Cube talking..strangely? Maybe he was just tired, but the Cube he knew wouldn't ask for payment.]

Um...Cube? Are...are you okay?

[Video]

[loyal_cube]

[Cheerfully kicking his feet off the side of the Spero hospital roof. This kid is one of the very few faces he remembers and he is rather happy to see the boy.]

I'm feeling great, Luke! Thanks for asking!

How about you? Working on any new puzzles today?

[Video]

[makoaddiction.livejournal.com]

We're charging now, is it?

[Not that... he will. Cause. Too busy experimenting on people. SORRY CUBE.]

[Video]

[loyal_cube]

I am.

I can't afford to be a charity service anymore but it's a great opportunity for some people!

[Something is very clearly up here, but Loki has no idea what. So he starts slowly, treads carefully.]

Gold, Cu-chan?

[Video]

[loyal_cube]

[Soraoto nods, chuckling at the nickname. He likes it very much. The demon continues to happily sitting on the hospital rooftop kicking his feet, wings out.]

Yes, Gold. But it appears only a few have any and are reluctant to depart with it.

However, I'm accepting other things for trade, too!
