★004 | VIDEO | MAHOGANY TOWN

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie once again shows up on the feed and once again appears to be in a hotel room. Unlike the other few times, however, he seems absolutely delighted to be talking to everyone, which means this is probably going to be very annoying.]

You guys gotta see this, look what I finally got!

[Behind him flutters a little woobat, its flight pattern some what erratic as if it's struggling to to stay afloat. And yet it seems completely fine with this, smiling as Teddie's cubchoo and quilava happily chase it about the room below it, giggling and generally being adorable monster critters.]

I finally got my scorebat! [Which he totally...didn't need help getting at all. Don't be silly...he would never make...someone catch something...for him. That would be, um, lazy or...something.] Now ladies, try not to get too excited. I know he makes me even more irresistible, but there's no need to fight over me just yet~

[Before Teddie can continue about how he's probably a hot stud or whatever nonsense he normally spouts, there's a loud THUD as the tiny bat slams into the wall and lands into the tiny trash can behind him. Teddie jumps, looking over his shoulder to see this...display, but quickly whips back to the feed as if this makes his new pal even better.]

I'M GONNA NAME HIM YOSUKE!!

[Cho toddles over to the waste bin, a worried look on her face as she pokes one of Yosuke's exposed wings. The feed ends before anyone gets to find out if it's dead or not.]

[She shrugs, male sexuality and how it's encouraged isn't really something she's bothered to look into besides "I don't like this."]

As far as I understand it, women aren't really...valued very much as more than objects in most places. If you're not attractive, boo hoo, you're worth nothing.

[friendyousohard]

How does that... How would that come about though? That makes no sense! I mean I'm from a nation with three female rulers and mostly equalilty between the sexes beneath them so maybe there's something I'm not seeing here, but even so...

[If someone she knew less well were telling her this Twilight would probably say they were exaggerating. Heavily. After all she's met many humans at this point and she can't think of a single one who espoused a viewpoint like that, male or not. But she trusts Maka's judgment.

Of course, it could just be that Maka's world is significantly worse than most others in this regard, but clearly Teddie, at least, comes from a similar culture...]

It's insanity.

[soundmind]

...I guess it can be considered a type of insanity, yeah.

[Insanity of Lust is probably a thing.]

...Hey, Twi, we probably shouldn't keep talking about this here. This kid is really confused and needs a lot of help, I think.

[friendyousohard]

Nnnn, right, right. Though I did put this under private so nobody should be able to look anyway.

Clearly in this case it's just a matter of a kid overhearing something he didn't understand and not being willing to admit he doesn't get it. The larger implications are... something we can worry about another time.
