[this is Arashi in her new (rather empty) apartment in the Communal]

The fog thinning is hopefully a positive sign, but with this rain... [she trails off, then sighs]To all the new arrivals, I hope you stay inside and remain cautious despite the fact that we didn't encounter anything on the way here. I doubt things will go smoothly for us for some

[popupshadow]

Would you like me to help?

[la la la i am innocent look at my innocent face]

[video]

[storm_of_ise]

[dryly] I'd rather not, I think.

[popupshadow]

How cruel. Now I have nothing to do for the rest of the day.

[storm_of_ise]

I'm sure you can find other things to amuse yourself with, Fuuma-san. [and no, she won't call you Kamui without some prodding.]

[popupshadow]

I suppose your injuries were that bad, neesan. I am Kamui, remember?

[THEN WE WILL PROD >8(( ]

[storm_of_ise]

[flinches at that and almost starts to react violently ---- but then she winces and subsides, glaring balefully at him]

Don't call me that. And you aren't my Kamui.

[resists! D:]

[i forgot this is vidya]

[popupshadow]

[sighs. gives you an awesomely creepy smile]

No, but it is who I am. Our Fates are different now, but surely you haven't forgotten what the word means? If we are to remain friends, then I'm sure it won't be too hard for you to learn it. As I have learnt yours.

[let's just say this is video forever then]

[storm_of_ise]

[not looking away!

but then she sighs and gives the tiniest of nods]

As long as you refrain from calling me "nee-san", [there's a pause. it will take some getting used to] Kamui-san.

[popupshadow]

You have a deal! And I am not your best friend, so you don't have to carry the sentiments that come with sharing that name. [slight shift in tone.] I am not as privileged as he was, after all.

[storm_of_ise]

Kamui isn't ---

[looking away. oh Fuuma, why you do this.]

It will end one way or another. Just not here and now.

[another longer pause. it's difficult for her to say, but] I will not dwell on it if you don't.

[popupshadow]

[.............. it's kamui >8( ]

There is only one way it'll end if he doesn't change.

-- but if it makes things better for us, then I will do as you wish. No talk of Fate, it brings us down badly.

[storm_of_ise]

[.....can't she even refer to you as Fuuma in her thoughts )8

n-nods]

I would appreciate it.

[popupshadow]

[no it's the only identity he has )8 he's kamui, dammit]

Very well. Take care of yourself, and I wish you well. For your sake as well as for those who worry for you.

[storm_of_ise]

[well, with Kamui's insistence on bringing Fuuma back... >: ]

...I will.

[it's a little easier this time.]

Take care as well, Kamui-san. There are those who worry for you as well, after all.

[popupshadow]

[sob he wants me to be erased ;; luckily that's not his real wish]

Thank you.
