The Second Rose [Accidental Video] Backdated to around 1AM Tuesday morning

[idkmybffkyouya]

[It's dark. The only light in the clinic room comes from a flashlight ... under the bed. Yes. Tamaki is lying, stomach down, on the floor under the bed (but on top of a blanket). He has next to his trusty flashlight a small assortment of sock puppets. Each one resembles another member of the Ouran High School Host Club in only the vaguest of ways

[... this, minus the puppets, is remarkably familiar. Which is why Rei doesn't bother beating around the bush -- though she does set up a filter, because like hell is she letting Usagi see this admission.]

When I first got here, I was alone, too.

[lkjadklfdf Nobody was supposed to see that. But wait- No jokes? No teasing?]

I'm sorry.

[marsfireignite]

It's really -- painful.

[She steeples her fingers together for a moment.]

But they always show up, in the end. Sometimes you have to wait a long time -- but they show up, when you least expect it.

If they care about you as much as you care about them, you'll see them again. Sooner than you think.

Oh, I have no doubt I will be found! I just got bored while I was waiting!

[Rei isn't sure whether or not he's lying or serious.]

Are they members of your club? The one you run at school.

[idkmybffkyouya]

In fact, they are! Ootori Kyouya and Fujioka Haruhi! [Because clearly, adding their surnames will ensure that they are recognized!]

[marsfireignite]

How did you meet them?

[She's both genuinely curious and working to keep his mind off of the fact that they aren't here.]

[idkmybffkyouya]

Oh! Kyouya was the class president, so when I transferred to Ouran, he showed me around. Not just the school either! He took me all over Japan, wherever I asked!

[marsfireignite]

Sounds like an adventure.

[idkmybffkyouya]

It was magnificent!

[Cue incessant, nonsensical babbling about just how magnificent it was.]

[Video // Private // Unhackable]

[marsfireignite]

[And, to Rei's credit, she actually listens... though her expression grows a little flat as the explanation goes on.]

Then I'm sure you'll see them again soon.

[idkmybffkyouya]

And then, the Shisa-

[Oh, Rei. You so nice.]

Naturally! We are the Ouran Host Club! We stick together!

[marsfireignite]

[She... tries, anyway.]

Then you might want to stop hiding underneath your bed so they can find you if they arrive.

[IT'S BRILLIANT! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! WHY DIDN'T HE THINK OF THAT?]

You're right! How could I greet them in this sorry state! I must look a mess!

[Video // Private // Unhackable]

[marsfireignite]

[Yes, well, this is what Rei is for.]

I know, I'm a genius.
