Kaoru 7 - The Young and the Restless [Video]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Hello?

[the sound of fumbling as the camera feed flicks abruptly on. Kaoru doesn't look that much different aside from that he looks... quite terrified, really]

Is this... [recording? He hopes so. Takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself, moving his communicator to pan around his apartment]

Can someone tell me where I am? Whose stuff is this?

You've been kidnapped. You're stuck here now, cause nobody knows how to get out.

[[Normally she wouldn't bother helping out newcomers (or those she thinks are new), but this one is her age and kind of cute, so her desire to talk to him wins out.]]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[...the fact that he can't remember is pretty troubling...]

...I'm someone worth kidnapping?

[clockwrkangel]

Neither am I, but I guess the guys that run this place thought we looked cool.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

What if I'm not cool? What if I turn out to be really geeky or something?

[that's... actually a very scary thought]

...what if I am really geeky?

[clockwrkangel]

You're too cute to be a geek.

[[Becca thinks she's being oh so clever and flirting really well. YMMV.]]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Thanks, I guess.

[How awkward that he doesn't have a name to give you :\]

[clockwrkangel]

[[Becca hasn't figured that out yet.]]

My name's Becca. ...What's yours?

[uchimata_ja_nai]

I'll have to get back to you... [a nervous chuckle] ...I don't know. I mean, I don't remember.

[clockwrkangel]

You don't remember? ...

[[There've been so many strange effects from the candy, can this be one of them?]]

Is there a candy wrapper near you?

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[glancing around himself] ...not here, no. But this isn't where I started from...

[clockwrkangel]

Everybody's getting strange stuff happening to them from the candy around here. The candy probably made you forget. If that's what happened...it'll only be a few hours before you remember. Wanna hang out with me and see if it wears off?

[uchimata_ja_nai]

...better than freaking out alone, huh? I'd like that.

[clockwrkangel]

...I dunno where you are, and I bet you don't, either. Can you find the church?

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[fake blank look] What's a church?

...just kidding. It'll be easy to find, right?

[clockwrkangel]

[[She takes a deep breath, then lets it out as a laugh, relieved.]]

Yeah. If you look around at the skyline, it's huge. You should be able to get there pretty easily.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

...and I'll see you there, right?
