✗ 002; voice -> first noir monologue; one of many

[hardlyboiled]

[There's some clattering heard as someone takes a sip from a cup. Is it coffee or tea? No idea. A satisfied sigh and the cup sits back down on the saucer before a voice begins to speak. It's distinctly Japanese, but of course, through the ~magic of Vatheon~ it's translated into the language of your preference.]

... It takes a real man to know how to

Shoutarou-kun, no one wants to hear your rambling.

[hardlyboiled]

[>[ Since they were living together and all, he could get in her face and complain.]

I was not rambling! It was food for thought.

[atashikiitenai]

Fruitcake for thought, maybe. Thick, tasteless, and difficult to chew. Also, no one wants it.

[hardlyboiled]

That sounds disgusting. If my words were a food they'd be something amazing. Like t-bone steak. My words are t-bone steak, Akiko!

[Also. Keywords.]

...

... ... [he doesn't speak until Shoutarou was finished talking] Did you consider writing a movie? [because that would totally sell off]

[hardlyboiled]

A movie?!

... Well, I always knew I had the face for the camera. I could write, direct, and star in it!

[He's daydreaming now, you have him daydreaming, Red.]

[pristinestar]

[watches him daydream. this guy's amusing, he likes him B)

Red continues nibbling for a bit, then: ] ... Well, there's no broadcasting network here aside from a radio station though.

[hardlyboiled]

Radio station?

[That little nugget of information is stored away for later use.]

Is it open to the public?

[keyword_bingo]

[These tags.]

Yes, I do.

[hardlyboiled]

[Those tags.]

Ah, great! I need them, I left something in them.

[keyword_bingo]

[Like what, your dignity?]

They are drying. What do you need?

[hardlyboiled]

I left a keychain in them.

[Going over to Philip now in usual Shou attire minus pants and shoes. Gosh he looks like such a dork, doesn't he?]

[to_worlds_end]

[Just this smile.]

[hardlyboiled]

[Dude. What is that smile for?]

[to_worlds_end]

[It says he agrees with you.]

[hardlyboiled]

[Ah great great. Still weirding him out but great. Agreement is great! Great.]

[eatingwings]

Do you understand what you're talking about, or are you just rambling, boy?

[hardlyboiled]

I'm not rambling! Food for thought, of course.

[eatingwings]

Enough! You repeat the same words that humans have forever said. You are either rambling or you have finally been enlightened about the true nature of war and battle, hmn?

[hardlyboiled]

[Ooooh touchy.]

I can say I've been pretty "enlightened" for a while, sir.
