[The video feed starts out very much as an unintended one. Bass, in his normal clothing, is reclining in his desk chair, leaning it back as far as it'll go with his feet propped up on the desk- it's likely he accidentally hit something on his keyboard to start the video. His head is tilted back and is partly obscured by what looks like... the Kaitou Kid hat?? Yes, it's certainly a white top hat with a blue band, but it's a souvenir from Halloween. As for why he's wearing it, and why it's pulled down far enough to cover his eyes, is anyone's guess.
The first thing that's obvious is that
music is playing, which the robot is ticking a hand on his chest to (as well as mouthing with it).
When the computer beeps-- the error ding, which happened when he accidentally pressed another button --he props the hat up with one finger and glances over at it with an annoyed expression. When his eyes flick directly to the camera it's obvious he now knows he's being video taped. But instead of any of his expected actions like ripping the hat off, violently turning off the recording, or even just glaring at it... He smirks. Heck, he grins, then settles back again and lets the hat fall over his eyes once more.]
Hey there, ducks. You know, I was just thinking... It's almost been a year since I've been here, and I can't believe I've lasted this long.
[He chuckles faintly, although the sound is more of a snort through his nose.]
This place is insane, you know that? Viruses, jerks- yours truly included, other worlds, people from the past, people from the future... Did I mention the viruses? Not to mention the greatest thorn in my side is still here and no, I don't mean you Megaman, although you are a pain in the ass.
[Bass laughs, then shrugs.]
I get my kicks though. And I get to fight people I might have otherwise never gone against. And sometimes I wonder if...
[The smirk vanishes from his face for a moment, then he shakes the thought away.]
Nevermind. [Another grin.] I don't care who likes me, or who doesn't, or who even cares about me, I ain't going nowhere.
[In the background the song starts over and Bass snickers shortly again, this time singing with the song.]
Yeah here we go for the hundredth time, hand grenade pins in every line. Throw 'em up and let something shine, going out of my fucking mind...
[Still singing with it he moves his leg and brings it down on the keyboard, effectively cutting the video feed himself, with a few more error dings.]
((Video link leads to Linkin Park's "
Bleed It Out" if that part wasn't obvious by now xD And it wasn't until I got to the very end when I realized that it actually was a fitting song for this, and if I wasn't already going to use it I knew I would >.> Anyway, this is way early for Bass' actual anniversary-- which is 2/23 --but hey, he himself said "almost" right? XD Something else will likely be posted on that day anyway. All replies will be text; feel free to point out the Kid top hat (which, yes, is a duplicate; Kaito still has his XD ). As for the MM9 plot with
nospikesplz, this is dated to whenever that's all wrapped up. And lastly it's totally a theory of mine that he was a little buzzed when he made this entry.
Also, of minor note not related to this entry I'm updating his info dumo post, so if you look over it and feel I omitted, please let me know XD ))
