video; action

[It's a gloomy day according to the video taken from the base island but Jake seems happy.]

Um, salutations fellow crew members!

This week has been... well, frankly it's sucked giggleberries! But I've been working on my powers and, uh, I won't bore you with the details of that? Unless you really want them. Anyhoo! C'mere you rascal...

[A little... bull fairy thing flies into view. Jake pets it and it seems pretty happy with that? So it must be nice.]

You should come play with them. They're awful sweet. And maybe it might turn some frowns upside down! It's worth a try, isn't it?

[He's still so awkward at ending these though so he just kind of waves at the end.]


[Action;]

[Meanwhile Jake really is hanging out with some tinkerbulls. Specifically five of them. Despite looking exhausted, he's in high spirits for once and seems to be enjoying the affection from the critters.]

I can't really argue doing things properly, at the very least it would be considered the polite thing to do when people have been bothered.

[potentite]

That's the spirit! You'll do fine at this. At least if it fails, it won't be for a lack of trying.

[despairing_hope]

Though I feel a bit anxious about trying to talk to any of them.

[potentite]

I can't recklessly say, "It will be okay" because I don't know that. They're probably quite angry. But I do know you'll still have friends whatever happens.

[despairing_hope]

I will believe you. If one can't trust in Hope, there is nothing left to trust.

[potentite]

Well gosh that's a lot of pressure! I'm not even offering you much. I just know that... the people who are standing by you through this won't abandon you.

[despairing_hope]

Oh but it still means a lot! Even a little bit for one person can be the world for another.

[potentite]

[Jake chuckles.] You're right. Thank you for reminding me.

[despairing_hope]

Please remember, that you are a truly beautiful and wonderful person.

[potentite]

Me? Gosh, that's awfully high praise for me when I haven't done anything.

[despairing_hope]

You've done a lot! And your hope is very bright. I feel people like you are rare, so please accept it.

[potentite]

Well, all right! I'm trying to get better at accepting compliments.

[despairing_hope]

Thank you.
