accidental video ● fifth reflection

[The video clicks on to a very familiar apartment. Yet it seems that the person who turned on the SFC on accident is rather disoriented. As she fumbles with it, the video becomes clear. Saya's apartment, the living room area to be exact. The SFC is set on the table and it catches just a glimpse of an odd sight. Why the hell is Matthew laying on top of Saya on her couch? She's not quite sure either.

And so she can't refuse reflexes, emitting a sound most likened to a squeak and then roughly kicking him off of her. As he falls on the floor with an 'Ow', she wakes up a bit and tilts her head down to look at him. Her hand is removed from the SFC but the camera still manages to catch the rest of the conversation.]


Oh. So I got last and first hit. I'm satisfied.

[Then he lurches to his feet--or tries to. Instead, he ends up slumping to the floor again, wincing.] That isn't fair.

Sure it is. You gave me an opening both times. You need to work on your hand-to-hand combat skills. [She stretches and attempts to sit up as well but fails, flopping back onto the couch.]

[He huffs, propping his chin on his hand.] Catching me by surprise doesn't mean I have to work on my hand-to-hand combat. [He notices something that she doesn't and grins.] Hey Saya, toss me your SFC?

[She complies, carelessly tossing it to him and the camera is jostled as she does so.] Don't go throwing it at an enemy like you did with yours. [a pause] ... we'll probably have to go looking for it now.

[He catches it.] It was a better use for the thing at the time. [He pauses, glancing into it and tilting his head.] Oh, so it is recording. Hello, Vatheon. Looks like the theory is true.

[She sputters incoherently off-camera. There's some ruffling as she slips off the couch and reaches for it.] H-Hey! Hand that over! This isn't how I wanted to make my return!

[He laughs at her.] Well, it's too late for that. Anyway, I'm using it. [He sticks his tongue out at her.]

[There's some grumbling and she has no qualms invading personal space in order to get it back at this point. Attempts to snatch the SFC are go, but she tries to get a message across at the same time.] Ignore this guy, you can discuss the more serious matters with him later. For now- [a moment of hesitation] Well, I'm back. Or maybe we're back, I should say. Sorry if you worried, let's talk later!

[He gives a cheeky grin and cuts off the feed with a click!]

[OOC: JOINT POST IS GO. We'll be hitting you with combos marked with [1/?] so don't worry about comment order.]

[She scoffs. MANNERS, WHAT ARE THEY. She's too angry at Matthew to mind them anymore.]

Of course it was. He's a man, though, he can take it.

Surely he's not that bad is he? [she smiled at Saya's answer to Matthew] It doesn't as though its working very well Saya.

[To Matthew:]

I didn't know that you needed one but after seeing this side of you, maybe its a good thing that Saya keeps an eye on you.

[He is so entertained. And of course he doesn't care; he doesn't like Saya that way.]

I'm glad you have such faith in me.

[He shakes off the melancholy and forces a grin, even if she can't see it. It can be heard, right? Best to be as exact with the facade as possible.]

I'll keep that in mind and leave the revenge to Naoya.

He is. [No room for argument.] And I stopped trying for now. I can only ignore him for so long until he steals something from me.

[And so the whining begins. Let's bring things back to 'normal'.]

Don't remind me. He seemed so angry. I'm scared of what's waiting for me when I call him back.

You know, people are seriously going to start thinking things about you two if you keep interacting like this~

[identity profile] redcloakedthief.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh come on. I'm not that bad.

[He laughs.]

Wouldn't that be interesting?

[She considers her answer for a moment. Now that the intial accusation is over.... she laughs.]

It would be. Too bad I don't know any other way to interact.

[identity profile] redcloakedthief.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Probably a further lecture, while he tries to cover up the fact that he cared about your death. That would be my guess.

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Caring. What a pain.

[She sighs, but doesn't deny that she thinks the same, though she wouldn't put it quite so bluntly.

... and she notices something.]


You know, you make for a nice cushion and all, but I don't think I'm interested in taking a nap in this position.

[identity profile] aimforthesun.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, Matthew does seem to prompt certain kinds of attitudes, doesn't he?

[Lalala pretending you're not here, Matthew]

Re: [2/2]

[identity profile] shard-finder.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
He seems nice and funny...although, I know from experiences that looks can be deceiving. Wait he's a thief too. [eyes widen in shock]

[to matthew]

I don't know...it seems to me that you are pretty bad.

Even from you, Billy? Well, I am touched.

[Rolling her eyes and yep, ignoring Matthew.]

He does. It's a shame, I worry that he might not make friends.

[identity profile] redcloakedthief.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well, feel free to stand up, dance around some, and find yourself a bed to sleep on.

[identity profile] pristinestar.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
No... It's not you, it's the fact that this place is capable to do something like this.

That heatwave that killed the zombies, too... I wonder what else they are capable of doing.

[personal profile] first_scorned 2010-08-27 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
... Please. Those creatures are nothing to the numerous demons that currently should be residing in a small, locked down city within my own world. I managed quite well a week to not be touched at all for a week, and I believe I shan't have much trouble with anything else here.

[ In other words, Matthew, your point is invalid, as his clothes remained spotless. And dammit Saya, he's insisting because he of all people knows life is precious, and you had his respect. ]

... You had my respect, Saya. Try not to ruin that too much further.

[He still looks agitated at the two of them, clearly not impressed.]

I still don't get why you didn't ask others to help. He clearly wasn't enough to protect you, and there were other people who were able to escape from them.

[No offense, Matty. Except kinda :3]

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I know where my bed is, thanks. You should lend me a hand so I can at least get up and fetch you a pillow and a blanket. The couch is yours again.

Way to blow my cover, Saya.

She's a smart enough girl to have figured it out eventually. Not like you don't have a reputation for that anyway.

[And responding to Kagome now.]

Funny, maybe. Nice? ... no, not really.

[She snickers and knows she's lying, but she's not about to give the idea that she would ever think positively of Matthew. Pshft.]

[identity profile] redcloakedthief.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
This is going to be interesting. Can you stand?

[She takes a minute to think her answer before admitting the truth.]

If it was simple escape, I would've been fine. I knew exactly what I was getting into, but... you know, there were other people who couldn't defend themselves against the zombies and needed help, so... I didn't think I would need any help for that!

[So she died being a hero. Yep.]
