[they make another face -- and then pause, and sort of like. you know the stance dogs do when they're ready to play, where they like jump and sort of bow? like this. that's what bass does, except their hands are out in front of them.]
Wait, wait! I've got it. Percival von Lichtenstein de Koalaski Frederico Rollout the Third!
[they tilt their head back.] I can't decide if its more weird that they do or not. Know each other, I mean? On the one hand you'd think it'd be easier to pull in people from the same world, but...
Not really, but. [they think about this for a second.]
My theory is that either you guys had something and the prism needed it, or you guys needed something, and the prism had it. For why you're here. It could be both, even.
I'm not a prismologist, but... when the four of us needed something, it always finds a way to give it to us. So.
Honestly? Maybe it sounds kind of corny or whatever, but that might not be far from the truth. [they shift colors, a rainbow of static rippling through them.] Maybe you needed us!
anyway even though it's kind of corny vax looks a little fond, watching this rainbow static. ]
Maybe. [ ... it doesn't feel like a need. at least not on his end. it feels a little confusing, but it feels - it's nice, too, in a way that vax had separated himself from. in a way that he's interacting with others, in a way beyond just "the raven queen's champion." in a way that feels like he left behind. ]
Liven up the place a bit, if nothing else. We're pretty good at that.
[it's never ask me that question again next question
they peer at him, for a long moment.]
No kidding, dude. This is the most excitement we've had in forever. The others maybe don't really care, but it's nice to see other people. To have more colors than just us.
... Yeah? There are a lot of colors that exist, dude. There's only four of us. [a beat.] I mean, Riff has got a little bit of red? And I have a little purple?
[there's not any on the blob itself, but they do extend a hand and show them a little swirl of purple. some orange, too, shivers around in the ball of color dancing on their fingers.]
Those change a lot, but I can do those ones too. Not just Sunrise.
Like your red and green? [they ask, curiously.] I guess it's what I feel right now. Or felt when the colors changed. Usually I'm mostly Sunrise, but sometimes the prism reacts to the colors I'm feeling and I can use those more strongly.

[ teasing! ]
no subject
There's a lot of you! And some of you have weird names.

he wipes his face in case he ended up with any yellow blob ghastly spit on his face though it's mostly just performative. ]
Vax'ildan is a normal name. [ is it ] Least it's not fuckoff long.
[ like SOME people ]

Wait, wait! I've got it. Percival von Lichtenstein de Koalaski Frederico Rollout the Third!
[no]

anyway he just stares at bass for a second and then cracks up. ] Yeah - yeah, that's it! Fuck. You can call him Percy.
no subject
He's got the longest name I've ever seen. [wild] You guys are friends, right?
no subject
[ brother in law... eventually ] Not a lot of people here that know each other.

anyway. that kind of makes sense, actually, for as much as it is on vibes. with a little snort: ] Maybe you guys just needed us.

.... mm, that's something, though. ]
Yeah...'s right. There are others, right? I mean, the red - none of you guys are red. What's up with that?
no subject
Huh? [blinks.] What d'you mean what's up with that?
no subject
he tilts his head. hello ]
Like - I'm blue, or whatever. So's Riff. There's only four of you, but there're more colors we can do.
no subject
... Yeah? There are a lot of colors that exist, dude. There's only four of us. [a beat.] I mean, Riff has got a little bit of red? And I have a little purple?

he is scooching a little closer to look at that hand. ]
...'s like the red and green. Why can you do those ones...? Any reason?

How are you... feeling.
no subject
no, they look up at him again.]
Curious, I guess? And maybe a bit worried.
