[There is a little kid on a box. That is placed on another box. That is placed on a chair.

It doesn't really look terribly safe. Anyway, he's on top of that pile and tries to reach up as high as he can, obviously trying to get to a cookie package that is placed on a shelf that is just way too high up for him.

it might be there for a reason. Or not. Anyway, as the feed continues, the pile starts to move and sway dangerously as the child on top of it continues his efforts, and finally crumbles. And down goes little Sve, crashing hard into the floor, together with the boxes and half of everything that was on the shelves in front of him.]

Whahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

[When the cluttering and crashing is over, one can hear stiffled sobbing a bit off screen - he's not crying, totally not, he just hit his nose! - and then a tiny hand reaches for the device and a little kid with already forming bruises and some minor cuts comes on.

Unaware that the thing has been recording all the time - never switching it off does that to you - he prods the screen, wondering how to make it show something.

While he's concentrating on it, the chair, the only thing still standing around him, finally decides to follow everything else and, comically slow, tips over to come down on the little nation.]

[[ooc: Since I have no clue where Svear is staying right now and he has at least been to the Western-Nordic-or-whatever household for sure, I'll say this happens in the kitchen of Marshall 301/302. ]]

Downstairs at 114 and 115.

Al'ne?

Nah, I've got my little brother Ace and his little brother Luffy, and then some of Luffy's crew there too.

...Th' 're warriors?

Yup. Pirates like me.

What 're pi-raaates?

Warriors of the sea. Like vikings.

V'kings?

[He likes the word. But has no idea what it is.]

Warriors of the sea, little mate. [Ruffles his head.]

We sail on the ocean and have adventures. Absolute freedom. Lots of fun.

And yer famil'?

Yup! My family is all pirates. My captain was my father. Strongest man in the whole wide world. He was amazing. Huge, eh. If he stood outside right now, even though we're on the third floor, we'd be eye to eye with him out a window.

[That is really fascinating. And cool.]

Y' 're a half giant?

Nah, my Pops isn't even considered a giant for my world, those are a hundred feet tall. One of our allies; Oars Jr. is four times that of even regular giants. He's like a small mountain, eh. Pops is pretty big though. Two of my brothers are big like that as well. Joz, and Atomos. They're a good fifteen feet at least. I ride around on Joz's shoulder sometimes.

But me? I'm a phoenix. [Sneakiest coolest pirate grin he can ever manage.]

's what?

[He's never heard of a phoenix, but if it is cooler than a giant, it must be really, really cool.]

You've never heard of a phoenix? Aw man, you're missing out. They're immortal birds, reborn of the ashes, constantly on fire, very one of a kind. If you promise not to tell anyone I'll show you.

[nodnodnodnod, accompanied by a very intense stare.]

And no worries, eh, my flames aren't hot enough to burn.

[Glances around and changes into a slightly larger than human-size flaming blue phoenix, spreading his wings out as wide as he can in the corridor and showing off the ridiculously long ornate tail feathers.]

[At first there is the obvious reaction, stepping back, crouching down a bit and holding his hands up to protect his face, but seen he is back to staring up at the bird and then gets up.]

'm can touch?

[Nods and chirps quietly, stretching out a wing protectively over him. The flames are merely warming, if anything they should feel soothing or healing, but not warm enough to burn. There's also a few sparkles. He wasn't completely lying when he claimed that as his ability to Seifer.]

...

[Brushes his fingers over the wing.]

'sh pretty.

[Shivers slightly at the touch and bows his head in thanks for the compliment. Then spreads out more to show off the rest.]

Why doesn't 't burn?

[Switches back to hybrid so he can talk.]

That's how they work, eh. Healing flames, not burning. I'll leave the burning to Ace I guess.

'f I cut m'self, th' will heal t?
