video ● thirteenth reflection

[straying]

Well... I think I've resolved all the matters of my past in the last couple days, so that means I'm back in business! Also had a nice little... birthday celebration of sorts. Heh.

Speaking of which... do we technically age here? I mean, I can technically keep calling myself nineteen, right? It doesn't really matter, I guess, but indulge my curiosity.

And... well, out of these nineteen or twenty years, I don't I've ever had such a break between brawls before- that's not encouragement to start fighting in the streets, guys, but I think my aim might even be getting a little shaky. Don't need another paintball war so soon, but... maybe a tournament would be fun...

[FILTERED TO SHIRAYUKI, ZEN, AND OBI]

So~ I'm going to assume one of two things happened with your living situation. Guess number one! Zen and Shirayuki are in a hilariously awkward situation where they're living together and feel so bad about it because it's not... proper or something, right? And don't tell me you put Obi on the couch- that's just mean.

Or... two: Shirayuki's living in an apartment all by her lonesome but close enough that her two bodyguards aren't worried. Right?

Well, here's option number three~

Shirayuki, you wanna come bunk with me now that I'm heading back to my old place? It's just one floor up from Zen and Obi so they're welcome whenever. ... Well, almost whenever. I reserve the right to kick out anyone after midnight. So... whaddya say?

[FILTERED TO ZEN AND OBI]

Okay okay, I know what you're thinking- don't want your girlfriend too far or Zen'll suffer from seperation anxiety, right? Oh. And the whole safety thing.

But I'm not a top-notch sweeper for nothing so I've got her safety covered. Not to mention it'll ease your conscience so she's not all alone in a two-bedroom apartment by herself. Don't you think she might be getting lonely? We wouldn't want that, right?

So stop being so over-protective and let her give me an answer before you say no.

It has been rather quiet as of late. Would like some help?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

That'd actually be really great! What're you offering?

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

Strength-wise I'm not very strong ... So I'll help with organizing. Making a logo should be fun as well.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Heh, whatever you want. Any help would be appreciated. I don't think I can handle all this on my own.

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

Well, I was looking for something to do. But we really should write a list of participants first.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

That's... well, I thought a sign-up would be most effective.

I should probably think of some rules while we're at it, too, though.

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

True. And we need to make sure all participants follow them - are there any people who can will volunteer for that kind of job?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I can definitely enlist some help.

But... I can't think of any rule besides 'no killing'.

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

If indefinite amount of people are participating then there should be a time limit, don't you think? And I am certain there are many tough fighters in Vatheon.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

... but restrictions are such a bore.

How do you decide the winner if time runs out anyway?

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

But sitting on uncomfortable arena seats are not that appealing either, I'm afraid... - How about by hits? Whoever lands more hits should move on.

Of course, having time limit of semi-finals and finals would be "boring." We can rift the restriction there. *If he sounds like a manga editor please excuse him.*

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[She's used similar methods when racing against Matthew, so...]

Alright, that's fair. How about a time limit of thirty-five minutes? Think we'd get enough brawling in by then?

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

I should think so.

*He picks up a nearby laptop (He built it!) and types.* Now,is there anything else you would like to add?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Can't think of anything. How about you?

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

I have nothing to add either.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Great! Then I guess I'll get around to putting up a sign-up at some point.

[nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com]

Of course. And I'll go and make a poster, I'm sure advertising will help.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Sure will! Many thanks, Japan.
