017th Shattering * Audio
[He would have liked to do it sooner but he was tired, exhausted even. The battle and the almost outbreak of the syndrome that he had did wonders to deplete him from energy, so as soon as he got back home he went to sleep.
Morning comes eventually though and it's even possible that despite his tired state Keiichi forced himself to wake up before the rest of the people in the house. Anyway, whether they are awake and around or still sleeping in bed, Keiichi will be assaulting them all with a bear-like hug. Yes, Satoshi, you included. Keiichi is just that happy to be back and see you all alive and in one piece and that Rika still has her two beautiful eyes.
Don't mind his obviously tired expression that he tries to hide with smiles. Or the bandages on his neck, he still has a few bandages and signals of having gotten a few wounds here and there and a couple of bruises, but nothing serious. And it's not as if bandages in the neck signal that something bad happened, right? Not at all.]
[The recording starts with silence actually. Keiichi is just still considering what to say, or if he wants to say anything at all. Patchouli is dead, and though they weren't close he likes her and enjoys talking to her so it's a detail that annoys him, it's another person whom he appreciates yet was unable to do anything for. She's not the only one though, but she's the only one he knew of and all. There's also the fact that he almost had an outbreak, even with the medicine the stress of the battle took the better of him, he made a mistake feeling safe now that the medicine was around after all, didn't he? Of course, adding to the outbreak thing is the problem with Minato or rather his incapacity to fight alongside him without causing him problems.
And Haruhi still must hate them if he knows her well enough. At least she won't be actually upset about them not dying during the draft, right?
He really doesn't want to talk about any of that so after a while of silence he talks trying to not sound shaken or anything.]
... I was wondering, do your worlds have mysteries? Ah, I mean, riddles. I suppose that a riddle is something simple enough to exist in several worlds but one never knows, what riddles do you have in your world? Any interesting ones?
In mine there are a lot of them, the most fun ones I think are the ones which answer isn't really clear or defined and allow for debate about it depending on how one person is. Anyone wants to give those a try?
"One door closes, nine open. When nine doors close, one opens. What is it?"
"If you break me I don't stop working. If you touch me, I may be snared. If you lose me, nothing will matter. What am I?"
[Maybe he should have thought better ones, those two that just came to his mind aren't very cheerful even if they are open to debate. Maybe he should do something else, something so no one notices how circles his thoughts are lately even if they guess the riddles...
Something K-1 would do. He can do it, right? He can bring forth enough attitude for a bluff, with some luck people will actually center more in the bluff than in what he said before if he does it right.]
Riddles are really interesting you know, they help to solve the mysteries in life. They aren't just mere questions, they are questions with a meaning and which require careful thinking and consideration of the facts given. Some are quite vital in life even, a man has to know their answer well to be able to life successfully!
"They come in several sizes, but only one makes you satisfied. Small almost flat or big but not fat. Which size do you want them in?"
Vital riddle for every man out there most probably, ladies can answer it too though, they have rights to care about the size as well.
[And K-1 laughs. Diversion tactic activated and performed successfully.]
