{3rd Jingle} Hey Near... [Video]
[The feed cuts on to show the interior of the coat closet. After being lived in for a week, whatever boots there were are thoroughly flattened and the coats have all been arranged into a very used nest. A few seconds of silence, and then one half-gloved hand moves into view and makes 'talking' motions at the camera.]
I'm out of the closet now, ( Read more... )

Because this lunatic just had to be the very first person Near met at the manor, when he was still uncertain of his surroundings and therefore took everything seriously, he had made one slip with the wrong person. One slip, and this waste of space is still not letting it go. Really, had this idiot nothing better to do? Pathetic.
What did he hope to gain? As if Near would would ever bother responding to something this moronic. No, this person isn't worth his time.
Near shuts off the Blackberry and places it face up towards the ceiling, turning his attention back to the room-sized map he had recently replicated.]

Congratulations Near, you just got your first "accidental video" experience, courtesy of the Author.
Fortunately, all that shows up on the screen is a plain, gray ceiling. You can also hear the sound of tapping on paper as Near is setting his toys down one by one in the different miniature rooms outlined by his map.
Unfortunately, he does not appear to notice any of this.]
(ooc: Near hates me so much right now. ._.)

Without getting in the camera's field of view. Near shuts off the device, but he doesn't leave it's side. Instead, he stares at it, waiting.]

However, that doesn't mean it has to go public. Near locks the feed but leaves the blackberry lying on its back so that you continue to get a lovely view of the ceiling.]
Congratulations.
[As he says this, Near continues his little side project and marking the rooms of the map with toys. Just because he has to speak doesn't mean he has waste any effort paying attention.]

My job is to entertain the grumpy guy. In the absence of Lord Kortan, that's you! [here, have a slew of nasal, manic giggles] ...are you entertained yet, Mister Finger Puppet?

Very. [Monotone voice a-go!]
Looks like your task is complete. [Now gtfo.]

[Yes, he's going to keep calling you that, Near.]

If this idiot knows where Near lives or even knows his name, he would have already seeked him out. Therefore, he must not know yet.]
Why don't you come sing to me in person then?
[Can you resist the invitation?]

You'll have to tell me which room is yours, Mister Finger Puppet. And you'll have to let me in - it wouldn't be right to share your song with the rest of the manor.
[Does he sound maybe the slightest bit sly or smug? Your move, Near!]

While there's a chance that he might already know where Gokudera lives and therefore not fall for this trick of misdirection, the consequences of that possibility are negligible at best. While when Near pulled the same trick on Gokudera two days ago, he had intended to test something so it was necessary for the latter to follow through, this time, he would lose nothing meaningful if unsuccessful.
And the reason for choosing Gokudera was simple. 1) Near knew for sure that he also knew neither his name or location. 2) Gokudera is easily trolled angered. He would be perfectly suited to distract the freak from Near. On the other hand, he might beat the living daylights out of that clown. Either outcomes work in Near's favor.]
Room 035.
[That ought to satisfy you for now, Author.]

Why, Mister Finger Puppet! You didn't tell me you would be so handsome when you grew up! ...and you're so much calmer than I thought you'd be when you were younger. You don't have to play so coy, you know. [gales of mocking laughter follow. Anyone's guess whether he knows Near isn't Gokudera or is just that oblivious]

You've met him at an older age.
