episode 1 [video]

[bamboozler]

Yaaaaay! I found it! [This is Panda’s first time using his journal on his own. It’s so cool!] It’s just like a smartphone...eheh. Everyone can see this, right? I finally found my panda notebook! Anyways, I don't really know any of you that well...it's been so hot that I've been eating bamboo in my room all day.

[And that’s how this trainwreck starts. Panda is filming himself holding a notebook he picked up that’s shaped...like a panda. There are clearly things written inside, and he seems to be eager to share what he wrote down.]

Let’s see...where should I start...Did you know Wolverine really likes kids? I’ve never met a wolverine before... [Oh. Oh no. Panda wrote down what the trees told him.] Shinji has the hots for his roommate...I think I’ve met him before! Ehh...he’s kind of scrawny though. [Flip. Flip.] Masaomi doesn’t like boobs at all, but he really likes legs! Isn’t that really strange? And this Yun girl knows everyone’s secrets...Ahaha! That sounds like a fun superpower!

[And then, the Panda shuts his notebook. He must be out of them...but then he reaches for a second notebook. Apparently, he didn’t do a very good job of organizing them. He’s still got dirt to spread.]

Shikamaru likes to sing in the shower with his roommate. Eh...but is that a cute girl...? There’s someone named Gold, too, and he’s never even been kissed...that’s really sad, isn’t it? [He flips to another page. He’s got plenty of random things written down.] They also told me that Adell hates women, especially harpies. Ehh...it seems like everyone doesn’t like them, huh. I also heard that Yotsuba is missing a few crayons from her box! Isn’t that just awful? And Pilouette-chan is a gang leader! Uwaaaah! That’s so scary, isn’t it? She’s the meanest!

[And then he shuts his notepad. He’s done for real this time.] Ehh...I don’t know most of those people, though. These panda notebooks are just super cute, aren’t they? Just like me. [He laughs, moving his notebook so everyone can see.] I had almost forgotten about all of these facts, too...! Hey, does anyone else have any embarrassing secrets they’d like to share? I can write them down for you!

[ooc; And this is Rune, off of hiatus! o7 It's good to be back.]

Comments

[noexit]

[She's listening along, kind of amused and kind of baffled by the fact that he's a panda. What even. Then...] Hey, wait just a minute! Where did you hear that?! [Way to be specific, Misato.]

[bamboozler]

[Of course, the easy answer would be to say that the trees told him, but...] Ehh...which one do you want to know more about?

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[Once he's gotten over his initial surprise at seeing a panda whom is more than capable of human speech, he boggles over some of the gossip, particularly the bit regarding Pils. He was such a mild-mannered girl, sweet, a little shy--]

Pils, a gang leader? ...That can't be right... [He knits his brows puzzledly.]

[bamboozler]

No, I think this one is the most fitting of all.

[keepitcanine]

Dude, the day Shikamaru sings in the shower is the day I learn to appreciate good music.

Not sure about the roommate thing, though. [Except he totally is, but whatever.] That might explain why he's so weird.

[bamboozler]

Hmmm...so this one isn't true, then? I don't even know who Shikamaru is.

[shinesbrightest]

[Oh jeez, not this again. He can't even be flustered or embarrassed because he's already heard about this before! If anything, he's just... exasperated.

...and "scrawny"?! Come on.]

You really believe that stuff?

[bamboozler]

Are you saying it's not true?

[ribbonbon]

[She doesn't even know some of the people he's mentioning, but...as much as she dislikes Panda and even though she knows some of the stuff he's saying is probably untrue, being in Luceti has deprived Pilouette of an entire summer's worth of trashy daytime gossip shows and this is probably the best she's going to get. So she quietly listens to the feed as she picks up around her room.

Until she hears him mention her name. Immediately, she drops what she's doing and scrambles to grab her journal as Panda finishes what he has to say about her.

She is not pleased.]

You loudmouthed ball of fur! What in the heck are you talking about?!

[bamboozler]

Uwaaaaaah! You're such a bad person! I always knew you had it in you, Pilouette-chan!

[He's not going to elaborate.]

[tolivefortoday]

[Sounds like someone was writing down what the trees were gossiping a-- hang on!

...superpower?]

I do not know everyone's secrets!

[bamboozler]

So you're Yun-chan, then?

[... ... ...]

I believe you. You don't really look like a superhero.

[vulcanblazer]

Wait, what?! I don't hate women! I had a girlfriend here for months!

[Oh god, those damn rumors again, and he hadn't heard that one before, though he can't recall having an opinion on harpies.]

[bamboozler]

And then you got rid of her because you didn't like her?

[failazure]

[So, um.

Noel wasn't exactly paying attention... because there's only one thing that's stuck to her mind throughout the whole message.

A thing that absolutely cannot go without asking...!]

Are... Are you a panda?

[bamboozler]

[There's the most serene look on Panda's face.

This is the face of a panda.]

Yes! My name is Panda. Do you want to tell me an embarrassing secret about yourself?

[So much for smooth introductions.]

[allseeingdeath]

[ She didn't know which to be more surprised at. All the rumors, or the fact that there was a panda bear talking. She had seen him around the village before, but...he could talk?! ]

...You usually don't go just saying embarrassing secrets about other people.

[bamboozler]

Didn't you see my super cute notebook, though? That's the only thing I really wanted to show everyone.

[avaricious]

That really is unfortunate for Gold. Someone should help him out.

[bamboozler]

Is there really a chance for him? Maybe if he's cute like a panda, there might be some hope...

[touchofrogue]

[Wolverine really likes kids.

...

...pffffff.]

An' where'd you get all this info?

[bamboozler]

Oh, I remember that one! There was a group of people talking about these things, so I made sure to write them all down. It was by the store right where I found these cute notebooks.

[They were trees, not people, but. Oh well.]

[generalflirt]

...Heeeeh, Shikamaru-kun's actually got a good singing voice, you should know.

[How else is he supposed to react here]

[bamboozler]

I don't know who Shikamaru-kun is. Are you the roommate he showers with?

[voice]

[justicereigns]

There's nothing wrong with liking legs. Especially long ones.

[Yup. That's what he picked up on. No mention of his name or anyone else he cares about so... As for a talking panda? Well, he's heard about Bepo and Pandaman. In Luceti? He just won't even ask.]

[voice]

[bamboozler]

So it's okay to ignore everything else, then?

[That's the message panda is getting, bro.]

[rollypolyclover]

I am? Ohhh...

[That's awful, she didn't even know that she had lost a crayon in the first place. A quick check in her room for all her crayons and other drawing materials shows that nope, everything is still there.]

It's okay, all of Yotsuba's crayons are here.

[bamboozler]

Ehh...are you Yotsuba-chan, then? I heard it somewhere, so it must be true...

[tailasoldastime]

[Grrrr, this stupid bear again. He doesn't even know what he means by a "gang leader", but he's sure it's not true.]

What are you calling Pilouette?

[bamboozler]

A gang leader! I called her a gang leader.

[At least he answers honestly?]
