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.

what no

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

All the more reason to shake things up a little more, don't you think?

totally is

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

... By being a jerk to me?

no way

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Just returning the favor.

yes way

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

... I regret every nice thing I've said about you now.

what no

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[snickering]

Was there a lot?

just admit it

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

... Actually, thinking about it now, I probably said more nice things about your way of life than actually you.

never. and way to spaz out on me when I'm tagging, LJ

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

.... That may just be for the best.

/punts lj for you

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

... Why? Do you not like compliments or something?

my hero?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine anyone can logically dislike compliments, Train.

now all we need is for laena/obi to stab it-

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Then who's to say you're following logic?

isn't that overkill?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Hey! I always thought I was a completely rational person.

well. she already did it once for me/zen? :D;

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Well, we've all got our own versions of rationality, Miss I-Need-To-Run-From-My-Friend.

I like how the names are interchangeable

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Hey, it would've been for the best if I moved!

it was in zen's voicemail, okay. SHE WAS EMULATING OBI.

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

[A shrug]

Who's to say? For all we know, with your influence gone, that could've caused me to revert back to who I was.

SHE'S ALWAYS EMULATING OBI

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I think the fact that you're the sweeper-licensed ball of fluff you are now is proof enough that you didn't need me anymore.

" /stabs both for Master B|"

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

... 'Ball of fluff'? To be fair, dying's a little different from moving away, Saya.

lolol you two

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

At the very least, you don't have that look that can kill anymore.

And maybe the two are different, but.... Eh. What can I do about it?

her fault

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can still bring it out if I want to, believe me.

[Seriously how many times does he do his murderous aura thing in the series—]

... And you could've not tried to avoid me here, for starters.

take the blame for once, Jan

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Not in Vatheon, 'kay? I don't want to have to apologize for you.

I had good reasoning for that too.

I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING THAT TIME D:

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

You say it like I do it unprovoked!

Oh? I'd like to hear that 'good reasoning', then.

... ONE OF THESE DAYS

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Even when provoked!

When you leave someone's life, I say you're supposed to leave it for good. I don't like leaving things half-finished and no matter how you look at it, soon as you or I leave Vatheon, whatever we're doing is gonna be half-done.

HAVE YOU NO FAITH IN ME

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Then the one that's left behind can worry about it when that happens. Until then... aren't I allowed to enjoy my time with a friend I haven't seen in a while?

... EH.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

You make it sound like I have a choice now.

I still think it's gonna be an unnecessary pain whenever the time comes for once of us to leave, but... I also realized that I have no talent for staying hidden.

/sobs forever

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

You got that right! Besides, what kind of sweeper would I be if I couldn't locate the target?

ilu? <3

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Still not as good as me~?
