VIDEO; 2. oo6 ☇ sometimes you've gotta tell a little lie to share a little love
[a video feed switches on, and for a few seconds there's not much more than a chest shot and a close up of a really tawdry bandana... then the camera jostles a little and it's Renji, and he's looking kinda shifty (and is he seriously wearing that bandana around his neck it's kind of hideous). he glances one way... then the other... then directly at the Guide, leaning in close and bringing his hand up as if to shield his mouth
when he speaks, it's barely louder than a whisper. this is between you and me, Guide, okay?]
Hey. So, uh... anyone asks, I'm a real great guy. An upstandin' member o' society. "Abarai Renji? Oh, sure! That guy helped me outta a rough patch a while back!" "Abarai? Oh, yeah. He's that guy who rescued a whole ton o' orphan tentacle babies from that ragin' lingerie store fire a while back, right?" That kinda stuff. Y'know. Don't gotta make th'sun shine outta my ass or anythin', but a couple rays wouldn't go down so bad.
Uh... if ya need an incentive, call it a redeemable thing. You scratch my back, guess I could stretch t'scratchin' yers a little somewhere along the way. Yeah? Great. Right. I'll hold ya to it.
[then something from offscreen gets his attention and his head instantly whips that way, and a couple seconds later he slams his hand down on the Guide to turn it off]
