accidental video ● fifth reflection

straying[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.]

[Video back] also. pffft.
Date: 2010-08-28 05:25 am (UTC)You should be resting, not calling me.
[video foreeveerrr] ilu2
Date: 2010-08-28 05:30 am (UTC)You expect me to have a good rest when you're upset? I'm not that cold-hearted.
[SAMEEEEE]
Date: 2010-08-28 07:24 pm (UTC)[ He's quiet. ] Have you spoke with the Oni child, Touka? ... I haven't told her yet.
[ In other words, what he's trying to say is: "I'm not sure I'd like to see anyone ELSE disappear on me." ... They always left him in the end. ]
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 11:24 pm (UTC)I... didn't know that Touka was an Oni. Well- nevermind that. She's sure to find out eventually.
[She considers her options.]
... Not meaning to invite myself over or anything, but you mind if I stop by when I can stand without doubling over? Your place must be pretty quiet. You managing?
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 08:38 am (UTC)[ Obviously he is very much reminded of his relationship with Hiro-chan dfgkfjhg. ]
... Do whatever you wish, Saya. I'm not about to order you around. ... By the way, I assume you're going to attempt to cut ties with most of the people here? It would be unwise. Attachment is... dangerous, but seeing as our current situation is rather unique, you should consider your options more carefully.
[ ... Sorry Saya. Naoya knows people; he is a people reader, and cutting ties is WHAT HE DOES TOO YOU KNOW. Anyway pocky is needed for this, where is it. Inserting stick. He eats sweet things yes. ]
... I don't mind the peace.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 10:04 pm (UTC)But now's not really the time to be thinking about food and she tries to get her mind back on track. Those facts about Touka are... completely new to her and all she can do is tilt her head and shrug with a passive 'Huh'.
Except that next thing he mentions is a bit... harder to immediately shake off. Oh, so he read her next plan of action. However all she can do at that is manage a bit of a laugh.]
It crossed my mind, you're right. But it's better for them if I'm not really a part of their life. You've seen what happened, Naoya, and for all I know, you could've hacked into all of the conversations I had. [An amused little smile.] They got hurt because of my decisions, and I think you know me well enough that I've got a knack for finding danger. I'd rather not have to deal with worrying anyone else. It's... too much for me. I'm comfortable enough alone anyway, and I'd rather face whatever this world's got to offer than deal with being smothered by the people I know.
[She's quiet for a while. Why on earth are people upset when she's gone? It's still something that she's trying to figure out and she's trying to figure out how to dispel it as quickly as possible.
However her intentions for everyone else and her next statement are rather contradicting.]
I bet. But all work and no play makes for a dull Naoya. I'll drop by when this exhaustion wears off.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-02 01:25 am (UTC)... You know, if they cannot defend themselves, that's hardly your problem, as I see it. And as I recall, most of them can. [ There's a long pause. ] ... Attachment is something I have always attempted to avoid, Saya, but you aren't bound as I am. Perhaps not in the same manner, but that still remains: while you're here, I believe it would be best if people didn't try to completely handle things alone, much as I detest working with others, it's for benefit of our situation. We have no idea what they plan to do with us, after all, and whether I like it or not, the fact remains that our being captive here is the common link between everyone.
[ He'll drop it there, since he's uncomfortable lecturing--there's a bit of anger, but it's not present anymore. Mostly, he's just... finding Saya's way of behaving far too close to him; it really hits home. ]
And no, I didn't eavesdrop on all your conversations. I do have SOME decency, after all.
[ It's just that he'd have done the same in your place. He doesn't say anything after that. Honestly, he's not in the best mood right now--very depressed, yes. It's hard to notice, but it IS there. ]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-02 01:43 am (UTC)... I'll think about it. I'm not fond of attachment, but after this little issue? A month or two myself sounds really nice. I'm happy to lend a hand to anyone who needs it, but any more than a passing conversation to help someone else...
[She sighs and brings her knees up to her chest, resting her head upon them, setting the SFC in front of her so she can still properly carry on the conversation.]
Yeah, I know you do. More than just some, you know. You're a good person and don't argue with me. I think we're both too tired for that.
[Her exasperated expression clearly conveys that message and she looks out her window for a while. Zombie-free streets. And moving on to another slightly vague topic.]
... I hope you can cheer up soon.
