[Hello Luceti, the Ion on your screen today is actually Florian wearing a colored paper headdress with green feathers taped onto it. Also his old newfeather dress, because why not. Lying on the floor in a sudden fit of ennui, he picks up his journal for some chatting.]

Ion's chair broke...I wanted to play with it, too. [He pauses for a moment, thinking. If Ion's chair is broken, then does somebody have to carry him around? Or do they find a new chair? Or--oh hey there's a big stick under his bed he'd totally forgotten about that.]

...Is there a special way to punch people? Like how there's special ways to use a sword, and you have to practice and all of that. So maybe I could learn to fight like that, and then I could save the day and be a hero and ride a dragon and--

[He's been lifting the journal higher and higher over his head as he says this from his position on the floor, to the point that it's practically touching the floor--which is when it slips out of his fingers and falls shut. Oops.]

Hi Vanellope! I wanna become a hero and save the day, so I've got to know how to punch people!

Voice

[sugarglitch]

Oh. [She frowns.] You don't haveta punch people to be a hero, though. Right?

Voice

[positivelycharged]

Well, a lot of the heroes in the storybooks use swords or solve riddles...but I'm not all that great at riddle-solving.

Voice

[sugarglitch]

Ooh. Makes sense. So why don'tcha learn how to use a sword or something! Those are pretty cool, too. And riddles are boring, anyway.

Voice

[positivelycharged]

A sword works too! I could go find a really cool-looking sword to use. Do you want to try too?

Voice

[sugarglitch]

Nah, I'm not much of a sword person. Fighting games aren't my thing!

Ooh, but the Sergeant wanted to teach me how to shoot stuff! That would have been cool.

Voice

[positivelycharged]

You like racing games instead, right?

Who's the Sergeant? Shooting stuff does sound kind of fun.

Voice

[sugarglitch]

Yeah! Racing games are the best! [She grins eagerly!]

And I know, shooting stuff sounds great right? But the Sarge went home before we could start so I didn't get to try it. [a SIGH.]

Voice

[positivelycharged]

Aw. Maybe there's somebody else here who knows how to shoot! Then....we could have a shooting race!

[He has no idea how that would work but...!!!]
