[straying]

[At first, she's quiet for a little while. She opens her mouth as if she knew what to say before but now that the camera's rolling, she's second-guessing it. And so there's a pause before she starts talking.]

Matthew's gone.

[... and she looks a little confused, as if she never expected to say those words. They sound so foreign.]

... sheesh. Can he ever leave without causing me problems?

Well, now you know.

[A bit of a shrug and she ends the feed.]

Really? I always thought boredom was a fate worse than death.

[She still stands by it, despite having died.]

What's been taking up your time that's so exciting, Zen?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Is that where you pick out the words for how to describe your life, Billy?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

One word: Obi.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

Not at all~ I'm offended that you'd think such a thing, Saya-chan!

[Faking faking not depressed at all—]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

And I have one for you too! Details.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[She laughs. If he can do it, then she'll pretend some too.]

I'll make it up to you somehow, I'm sure.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, very funny.

Why don't we start with this: why did you have to place those weapons with paint all over the city?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Because reloading every time I needed to would've given Matthew a chance to get away. [... A pause as she remembers that he's gone now- but she quickly recovers.]

Everyone seemed to have fun with them anyway! Which was the other reason I left them lying around.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

I seem to recall you saying that once before. So now you owe me twice! ♥

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

[He definitely noticed that pause, but if she wants to play the carefree card, he'll let her.

Besides—]

It. Wasn't. Fun. For. Me.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should start cashing them in then.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... pffff. Trying so hard to hold in laughter. He's so serious--]

Hit by one too many shots, huh?

[ceruleanvices.livejournal.com]

Damn.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say that, but Obi apparently has a protective friend he neglected to mention.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I think I'll wait and then spring them up on you when you're least expecting it.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[siiiiigh]

Tell me about it.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Does he? That's cute. It's nice that he's making friends at all.

... but go on. I'm going to assume you had a less than civil run-in with this friend.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Gonna try to double-book me someday, Billy?

[tsujihi.livejournal.com]

A friend? I'm sorry to hear that.

[ceruleanvices.livejournal.com]

It's hard to think of this place without him.

[girlpowertouka.livejournal.com]

But it's always sad to lose a friend. But a lot of people leave and then come back again! I just did.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

There was something about a basement and stale bread. I think I was too shocked over being attacked when I hadn't even done anything.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

... that's true.

[She brightens up a little bit before she catches herself. And then it's a contemplative look.]

Don't know if I want him back, though. It'd be even more trouble if he returned.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'll do them one at a time.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

... yeah. My thoughts exactly.

[She's quiet for a few moments before laughing it off.]

Jeeze, what's with me? He'd be doubled over in laughter if he knew I was like this over him.

I'm starting to think these are one of those times where people say 'I need a drink'.
