[cacoethic]

Oh!

You filmed my bad side, Genkaku.

video ; 2/2.

[cacoethic]

[He turns on his own video setting, revealing a nice view of his nostrils before he swerves it across, panning from the dead-eyed Nagi he's sitting next to to Genkaku, who's sprawled out lazily on the other side of the room.]

I'm getting quite excited about this carnival business, myself.

[The camera turns back to Nagi, and the owl feather swings into view again, bumping on his forehead and crawling along, over his eyes and nose, swinging away to hit him repeatedly.]

Maybe you'll see Ganta there, and Nagi can see how he's doing too?

[cicumae]

[ still from tamaki's communicator: nagi's been accepting this bothering without response for a few moments, head bowed and eyes half-closed.

but it eventually irritates him enough. though his expression remains blank, his good hand reaches up to snag the offending feather away, crushing it between his fingers before ripping the twine from tamaki's hand with a sharp jerk and tossing it aside carelessly. ]

[And that gets laughter from Tamaki, who gives Nagi a threatening little tap across the scar on his neck, using the stick the twine had been on. It isn't long before it drops away.

And then the video feed ends.]

[Voice]

Mister Eike. Are you around, by any chance?

I think it's about time we had that meeting you wanted to arrange.

[todefydestiny]

Y... Yes. I'm around. Right, that meeting ...

Um, that person doesn't look like he's well... should I bring a doctor?

[guanosine]

[Ohhh screw you Eve is watching you with angry eyes.]

[thanatolatry]

[ Come on babycakes, you can't stay like that forever. It'll give you wrinkles. ]

voice ;

[feverhound]

[ there's the sound of wind whistling past him -- namae's smoking out on one of the high rooftops. a low laugh ]

voice ;

[thanatolatry]

[ And in reply to the laugh, there is a low scoffing mockery sound. ]

Nah, wouldn't want you to miss that shit for the world y'know.

voice ;

[feverhound]

[ a snicker before he goes on, nonchalantly ]

voice ;

[thanatolatry]

Hmm? S'that his name, huh?

Little hard to have free time when bastards need babysitting.

[voice]

[cachaemic]

[Of course he's been watching in so much horror and confusion. What the hell is going on?]

You're... kidding me.

[video]

[thanatolatry]

[ Genkaku just gives a wry grin at that very familiar voice. ]

Too bad you had to leave early, yeah? Would've given you a encore.

[video]

[cachaemic]

[Flinching when the video comes on. But he sees Eike there too, even after he promised--]

...That--

What are you doing with him?

[video]

[thanatolatry]

[ Sorry kid, he's put you on mute, but that doesn't mean you can't hear the bullshit that is spewing from Tamaki's mouth while he's with Eike and Genkaku's audible grin. ]
