VIDEO; 2. oo6 ☇ sometimes you've gotta tell a little lie to share a little love

[nostray]

 [a video feed switches on, and for a few seconds there's not much more than a chest shot and a close up of a really tawdry bandana... then the camera jostles a little and it's Renji, and he's looking kinda shifty (and is he seriously wearing that bandana around his neck it's kind of hideous). he glances one way... then the other... then directly

Hm... I wouldn't know about that. Your conduct has hardly been exemplary.

[godammit this is the worst possible outcome]

Hasn't been too bad though, right? Been worth a little slack?

[IF IT'S YOU ALL I NEED IS FOR YOU NOT TO SAY ANYTHING AT ALL THAT'S ASKING ENOUGH]

[ oh come on Renji it builds character! ]

I can think of a few things off the top of my head that were absolutely inappropriate.

[ like hitting on Yoruichi-sama, hitting on Yoruichi-sama, and hitting on Yoruichi-sama. ]

[oh fuck why did i ever think that would be a good idea why why why]

... yeah, but I took a couple o'good shots, right? A couple o' good money-makin' shots? You sold any yet?

[SLOWLY REALISING... this is a losing battle...]

[the scenery behind maka seems to be some sort of restaurant! it's a tad bit noisy and there's a bar behind her and family and people in their tables or booths talking or eating. but regardless of how busy and how a tad bit noisy it is, he can still hear her. ]

[her hair is up in a bun(that's a first) with a few locks hanging down on the side of her face and in uniform.]

Why? Is there something going on?

Re: video;

[nostray]

Nnnnnope nothin' I'm just a great person an' everythin', right?

[the look he shoots you right now Maka says 'I'll fill you in later', Renji still a little too cautious to out-and-out say anything just yet this publicly...

but then he catches a proper look at her, and her surroundings, and pauses]

... what're ya doin'?

Re: video;

[ineuphony]

[she makes a quiet "ooooh" and nods. and when he asks what she's up to, maka straightens in her seat.]

I'm at my new job! -- Well, my permanent one, anyway. I'm on my break.

Re: video;

[nostray]

Huh! So, by permanent, d'ya mean permanent-permanent or permanent fer th'month?

[appraising look! b'aww you look so grown up with your hair up and in work uniform]

Lookin' pretty neat, there, Maka. Job any good?

[He's not going to ask what that bandanna is. Or why this lie is suddenly a great big secret, though...wouldn't telling it to the entire network nullify everything?

Whoooo did you piss off this time, Renji?]
