[There's nothing better to do after three days out in the cold and a chat with your best friend than to stare at your journal and idly contemplate whether or not interacting with People sounds like a good enough idea.

But something's on his mind. Or, well, a few somethings, but it's persistently sticking there enough to be worth asking.

To the journal.]

Could anyone tell me about leaders? [Well that's vague. ...Whatever.]

[...]

And while I'm here, what are elves? [...] And what's "tsun"?

Silver, Silver-kun, my boy, let me tell you about the beauty that is tsundere.

You see, it all begins with a boy and a girl. The boy is earnest! Steadfast in his feelings and his dedication to wanting to seduce the girl! Or maybe he's just Into her. Or maybe he's just talking to her! Really, any of them are okay. Anyway! While eh's doing that, the girl is over there pretending not to notice.

Oh she blushes whenever he does something nice, and she gets all flustered when good things happen but- and here's the trick! [Dramatic pause] She's hot and cold! [Snapping his fingers]

She gives you a chocolate on Valentines and she's like [And there's a mock girl voice for this] "I had some extra so I decided to give you one, be generous!"

You're on janitor duty in the class room and got ditched by everyone else because they had the good sense to ditch. She shows up and helps out, and is like [girl voice again] "I-It's not like I'm doing this for you, I just needed to keep the class room clean!"

You do something sweet for her and she blushes, not sure how ot handle it before...! [girl voice] "You idiot! I didn't ask you to do this!" [and then normal voice] But drumroll please, because here's the sincher!!

[And in the background, Linda the pichu is following sync and making a drum roll by tapping her tail on the table

girl voice:] "B-but... thanks."

[voice]

[tsuntrader]

[...Yeah, he tuned out about half of that and didn't get the other half.]

Is there a short version?

[voice]

[falenandawn]

....Leaders? [Really, really vague.]

[voice]

[tsuntrader]

Yeah, leaders. [Elaborating's hard, okay.]

[fierybluebird]

What kind of leaders, eh?

[tsuntrader]

Someone you'd follow. Someone you'd look up to.

[bamfing]

Elves make cookies. And shoes. And toys too, I guess.

[tsuntrader]

[...] Really? [Then what's the big deal?]

[Written]

[tinyhealer]

[Okay, lets try this. She covers up the camera when she replies.]

Why are you asking about elves?

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

Elves don't exist back at home. I have no idea what they are.

[voice]

[catches]

[Oh. It's that one guy. With the stuff.]

What about leaders?

[voice]

[tsuntrader]

[Oh. It's that not!Ruby that's supposedly the Champion or something.]

What kind of traits should a leader have? What would you do for a leader?

Stuff like that.

[voice.]

[deceives]

You wish to know about leaders? [ A scoff. Oh here we go. You want to know about leaders Starscream will tell you about the best. Mainly him. ]

There is none better than I. I am a rather good leader, I rallied the troops I did what was best for my warriors. Despite them being less than enthused towards my projects. You must have a clear understanding of what it is that you need to do for your troops.

[voice.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Is that a robot. That looks like a- that's so cool.

...Too bad he doesn't sound all that cool.] What do they think about you?

[Voice]

[fearless_leader]

What do you want to know about leaders?

[Voice]

[tsuntrader]

The kind of dynamic they have with their team. [Followers. Organization. Whatever. The point is pretty clear.]

[Voice]

[endgames]

What a weird assortment of topics...

[Voice]

[tsuntrader]

I can think of weirder ones.

Voice

[chibifalenas]

Leaders of what? There are a lot of different kinds of leaders I think.

Voice

[tsuntrader]

Leaders of anything. What makes a good one?

[voice] wow tl;dr

[subsultive]

...Leaders? Hmm... In general, leaders are kind, brave people that command a great deal of respect from their people... Their every word is obeyed. It doesn't matter if their followers are out of love or fear, because they're respected either way.

As for elves, um... Most thing I know are only from fiction books... Beautiful, noble, intelligent people who usually keep to themselves and have a strong dislike of humans. They're usually skilled archers or healers, and the one who joins the hero on his quest is either a snarky, pessimistic archer who turns out to be an anti-hero, or a pretty healer who's either the hero's love interest or one of the other party memebers'.

[voice] beautiful beautiful tl;dr

[tsuntrader]

[...]

Party members? Anti-hero? [The leader part makes sense. The beginning part of elves actually makes a lot of sense.

...The rest of it...]

[Nothing]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Oh man, he's actually asking all this crap? Wow, Silver, wow. Gold is cracking up over here, just reading all this. This is too much to handle.

He really asked about "tsun". Wow.]

[tsuntrader]

[dragoneer]

...Leaders? You mean, like...chiefs?

[Sort of pretty much like Hiccup's dad?]

voice;

[tsuntrader]

[...] Kinda.

What do your chiefs do?

[penetrated]

Ehe... 'tsun' isn't really something Silver has to worry about... [See, he dropped the '-san' like a good boy!]

Though, elves are a race you'd usually find in fantasy novels!

[tsuntrader]

[Good Aoba. You win a couple of points. ...Not many, but a couple.

But forget the elves, that statement on tsun-] Why not?

[risingwinds]

A "tsun"? That's a new one...

[Okay, so that's not helping much. Hrm.]

And what do you wanna know about leaders? Like, what kinda people usually take up that kinda role?

[tsuntrader]

[If Ven doesn't know what tsun is, he might as well not get into it.]

Sure. [He'd like to hear anything, so that definitely works.]
