[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.]

Comments

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Really?

[A laugh]

Well, thank you, then.

[tsujihi.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's a good point.

[ Hitoshi smiles. ]

Nope, don't think so. Well, I heard I was around before, so maybe I should say that if we've met, I don't remember it.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Hence why I'm not lonely at all~

[She grins.]

Mm, that's what I thought. I met you before, but I'm glad you're back now. I'm Saya, it's nice to meet you. I kind of know your cousin a bit.

[tsujihi.livejournal.com]

And likewise. It's Hitoshi by the way, in case you didn't catch it the first time.

[ Why does everyone know Naoya - ] Naoya? Hmm, has he been good? [ Because getting the dirt on if his cousin has been up to something is always fun. ]

[ctrlaltdemon.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, he kept running away after I declared a sticky note war against him, so it was pretty one-sided. But as long he got a few, it's all good.

[Action] no problem!

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan. What're you in the mood for?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

More than a few~

[She hums, pretty clearly showing that she knows something that he doesn't.]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Heh, Hitoshi. Got it.

[And at the question, she laughs and shakes her head.]

Not at all. Was he supposed to be?

[ctrlaltdemon.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll bite. What happened?

[Action] <33333

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure. Just something that's quick I guess. Do you have ideas?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

["Pi!", Pikachu decided to wave at Saya~]

Oh... Right. You haven't met.

This is...

["Pika-Pikachu~"]

no idea, this must be rectified

[livedagain.livejournal.com]

[An eyebrow raise but he shakes it off.]

Well, that must be a bit of a bother then, losing a friend like that. Sorry to hear it.

[first_scorned]

[ ... Have a laugh. ]

Lonely? No. Concerned? Yes. If only because we were the last of the first group that arrived here. That leaves me, you realize. I'm surprised they haven't taken care of me yet.

[ But he's not going without a fight. 8| ]

damn right it does- ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART <3 your gift will come soon

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, not really! [She laughs.] He's been wanting to get out of here for a while. If he got what he wanted, then why should I care?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[A bit of a shrug.]

Hey, you've wanted to go home, right? I'm surprised. I thought you'd be looking forward to it.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[A bit of a laugh and she offers her hand to Pikachu.]

It's very nice to meet you then, 'Pika-Pikachu'.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Nothing big. Matthew and I cleaned up just as the Lady Mayor told us to!

... but we weren't sure where to put 'em, so we thought Naoya could just torch them for us.

[Not that they asked him directly or anything.]

[Action]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

... not ice cream? I've kind of had enough of that to last me a while.

[Action]

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[Kagome giggled.]

That's fine! So what about something sweet that's not ice cream?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[Pikachu tumbled a little at her small mistake ;; "Pikaa, pika-pi!"

but shortly, he raised his paw and placed it unto Saya's hand.

Red laughed a bit.]

It's Pikachu, actually.

[ctrlaltdemon.livejournal.com]

Let me guess.. You guys provoked him?

[Action!]

[lockandkeyblade.livejournal.com]

Saya...

[He looks surprised.]

[Action!]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[A sheepish smile and a shrug.]

I don't like people coming back after they leave. It seems very lazy and weak-willed. If he's out of my life now, I want him to stay out. It's easier for the both of us that way.

[... so why does it feel like she's still trying to convince herself?]

[Action!]

[lockandkeyblade.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, I guess that makes sense.

[No, Saya... he doesn't sound convinced either.]

But still.

[He wants to say something, but he's not sure if he should.]

[Action!]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... she shouldn't ask. She shouldn't ask after she's trying so hard to convince herself and he only has an argument to offer and she shouldn't ask, she shouldn't ask--]

Still...?
