[Pierce shows up on the network, still with red hair, and looking kind of... frustrated. He is observing the camera with a frown, head propped up on his hands which are... gloved?]

So, I would like to submit myself in the running for most obnoxious echo ever.

[He, very gingerly, pulls off a glove, picking up random objects around his desk as he keeps talking.]

By the way, I don’t really plan on making posts on here all the time. This is just super shitty timing. Also, if I can get any tips on how to break this to parents, that would be awesome. There’s only so long I can pretend I’m high enough to think I need gloves that my folks will believe.

Oh, and one more thing-- a-ha. [Pierce holds up an apple, and from the tips of his fingers spread a sheen of gold, enveloping the apple within moments.]

I figured out what I hate Greek mythology.

[He sighs, pulling the glove back on and frowning down at his creation.] ...Anybody want a golden apple? [Any reference to the fairest of them all or giant wooden horses will totally be lost on him.]

[Pyralis, huh?]

Hold on a moment.

[Some silence follows for a good few moments due to browsing through some books. Atlanta... he vaguely recalls the name. AHA! Soon enough, Karl is back and bearing knowledge.]

Whoever had told you that was incorrect; according to reliable sources, she was in fact raised by bears.

[Unless there's another Atlanta. Always possible, but the one in this world WAS raised by bears. Sholarly sources do not lie. Okay, well, they may get proven inaccurate, but inaccuracy isn't lying.]

If you want to argue that with the kid from my memory, be my guest.

Who the hell's Atlanta, anyway? [Pierce immediately realizes his mistake and continues:] Wait, nevermind. I don't need to know.

[SIGH. PIERCE YOU DISAPPOINT HIM. INSERT STORY OF ATLANTA. After finishing that story, Karl can't help but sigh once more.]

Given your clear connection to mythology, it'd behoove you to familiarize yourself with some of it.

[He went to go get something to drink in the meantime.]

But... I don't want to.

[this is a good excuse right???]

Would you prefer having something even worse than the golden touch take you by surprise?

[Knowing the enemy is half the battle, Pierce.]

...Is there worse? [this is about the top of terrible things, in his opinion.]

Medusa and her ability would be the worst off the top of my head.

[Very few things could beat that one.]

....Which was...?

[jfc pierce this is basics]

[S.I.G.H.]

Would you like the whole tale or just what ability she possessed?

[He's actually giving a choice!! Will wonders ever cease?]

Just the ability.

Gazing directly at her turns any living creature to stone.

Oh. [YEAH THAT'S PRETTY BAD.]

A tad worse than the golden touch, wouldn't you say?

Yeah. A bit.

Precisely why you should read up on these stories. If you really do have some tie to them, better to be informed than taken by surprise by a pulse later on.

Yeah, ok.

[That sounds convincing.]

Next time we meet, I'll lend you several books on the matter.

Um... yeah. Ok. [That doesn't mean he has to read them!]
