third ingot ♚ video - backdated to the sixth

[pastsanity]

[The feed starts. Some of you might recognize the area, others might not - it's not that popular anymore. Right now, you see, Kinzo is traversing the Ilex Forest, and he's having quite the time of it. He looks fairly roughed up, for a great number of reasons, but he looks like the reason he's turning on the feed is for reasons... other than his own

[ Wow Kinzo you are rude.

But, there's a long pause before Beatrice speaks up. ... Someday, if he was to remember his trip here--he would truly regret his words. ]

.... You truly are nothing more than a fool.

[ Because she's not going to stand by and be called a delusion, or a fantasy--and after she's fought so hard, she's not going to let the future head insult everything that she's gained. ]

[Yasuuuuu don't act like you're something other than what you aaaaaaaaareeeee...!!]

... [He gives her a pointed look, but in his eyes, there's a burning fire, just waiting for a chance to escape. This time will be different, Beato. This time you won't escape without a burn...!!] I don't recall asking for your opinion.

How rude, how rude. You would speak of me in such a manner, only to say such a thing....?!

[pastsanity]

You of all people actually want to speak of rudeness? Hoh...!! [Kinzo shakes his head, a hollow laugh escaping his lips.] I am no fool, "Beatrice", I wouldn't be alive now if I were remotely close to being such a thing.

.... Hmph. Those who know me well know that it is merely in my nature to be cruel. ... However, perhaps this is merely something that the Ushiromiyas have in general with myself.

[pastsanity]

[IF IT IS OKAY WITH YOU THIS THREAD IS NOW DIAMONDS NOW TAKES PLACE AFTER LION'S?]

... Hoh. Ushiromiyas find you to be cruel, is it? I wonder what that says about yourself? What do you find yourself to be?

[endlessmagic]

[ that is more than cool with me o////o ]

Myself? ... Why, I am one of the cruelest witches in existence, of course. [ cacklecackle ]

[hokay ;w;]

[Kinzo can't help but chuckle back at her... Well, for his own reasons.] I suppose your bases are covered then, if you believe that much.

[endlessmagic]

.... Is that so. [ Her voice noticeably grows far more cold. ] I care little of an opinion of a foolish man who deludes himself from what is right in front of his eyes.

[ battler was different okay... and she's just being tsun. she actually cares about kinzo's opinion. but she wont admit to anything of the sort out loud ]

[pastsanity]

[Beato you silly girl, men never get the tsun thing. Kinzo, for... what it's worth, at least knows it's time to lay his cards on the table - at least some of them at any rate, so he makes an *ahem* noise and hardens his gaze.]

That's the thing, isn't it? I believe you're the foolish one deluding yourself here, and in fact I'll tell you why, should you be willing to entertain me for that long.

[... Naturally, he isn't about to blurt out Lion's life story, or his own for that matter, but he does want to clear up this "I am not yet that crazy old man" issue that may or may not be relevant in her eyes.]

You would insult me and then wish for me to humor you...?! If you continue to mock me, then I have little intention of continuing this conversation further!

You might want to hold your tongue, Beatrice. Your grandmother does not deserve this treatment.

We have much to discuss, you and I, but it should be on fair ground, shouldn't it?

... Is that how it is?

... If you are aware of that much, you should know of what role I had once played within Rokkenjima.

It's quite the opposite, actually. It is your role, your story, that I would like to hear. I have heard small things, of your servants, of those who know you, and of... [a pause] let's call it "your better half", but only you can tell me this much.

I ask you this not as the man who treated you and your mother as horribly as he did, not as the man who assisted in driving you to become the person you rightfully have become, to feel the things towards me you most rightfully feel... but rather, a man who hopes to stop than man from ever coming to be in the first place.

... [he's silent for a moment, this next part is... awkward. Lion started it, but this Beatrice, now that he knows - and that other one - they two, have brought it out in him. Maria as well, she's bringing it out in ways he would never have suspected from that side of the family.]

Furthermore... As your grandfather... and, yes, father as well-- If it means anything to you to hear it from me as I am now, that is. [he pauses, making an *ahem* noise.] It is... natural I wish to get to know my own flesh and blood, is it not?

[endlessmagic]

You are mistaken.

That human had ceased to exist the moment when I became a witch.

... However, I do not mind telling you some things.
