10 ☀ Day; Video || Stark's Residents Encryption

[ Hello, Promenade. This is a short video, but you might notice the heavy bandaging along the right shoulder peeking out from behind Ichigo's hoodie. He's a little worse for wear after the madness of the past week, but then again, who isn't?
Actually, truth be told; he looks pissed. ]Yeah. So, here's the deal; I'm damn tired of hearing how "oh so

A-fucking-men. Proud of you, Ichigo.

voice;

[savior_n_black]

Yeah, well. Not about pride.

[crimsonandnoir]

Never said it was. I guess I just want people to realize that they're not to blame. Especially since Max pointed out that it wasn't my fault for what happened to Lii.

How's she doing, by the way?

voice;

[savior_n_black]

I...guess I just got tired of seeing, and hearing all this blame being passed around is all.

Anyway, there's no change. She's still comatose, but I'm changing her I.V. out once a day.

You hope that everyone's 'coping decently mental-state-wise', and yet feel the need to dictate how they should deal with something that was no doubt quite traumatic. I'm sure you meant well, but those two things don't really fit together.

I'm just saying that passing blame around when there's nothing left to blame is dumb. Feeling guilty because you were freaking used is kind of messed up, isn't it?

[ Though, you're not wrong about that contradiction, either. ]

video; sorry wrong icon

[dirt_heart]

It is messed up, yeah, but people have a tendency to need something to blame for bad things, even if it involves blaming themselves. Particularly after a situation where they were rendered helpless. It lets them take back some control, or the illusion of it, at least.

video; no worries

[savior_n_black]

Uh-huh. Well, insisting that other people hurt you because you feel guilty is crazy logic if you ask me. Trying to make yourself into some bent kind of martyr doesn't really help a damn thing.

[mansamune]

My thoughts exactly. It's stupid to start agonizing over it now.

[Though there's a pause.]

But it seems like we got another thing to worry about - people are missing. And not in the "they went back home" sense.

voice;

[savior_n_black]

Yeah, I noticed.

I don't know who all is technically "missing" though. Heine went totally bugnuts, and Xion hasn't been returning my calls.

voice;

[mansamune]

... Katsuragi, for one. She hasn't checked in.

[Is that a small twinge of worry in your voice, Masamune?]

From the sound of it, some idiot might've kidnapped people during the chaos. Dammit.

voice;

[savior_n_black]

I saw Blaine saying something about his friend being missing, too.
...Jeez, does it ever end?

[ Ichigo is pretty beat up, but maybe he could get Shiro to help him? ]

And telling us how to feel is okay then?

text;

[savior_n_black]

Not telling you how to feel. Telling you that being eaten up with guilt helps NOTHING.

[lunardancing]

That's what it sounds like you're doing.

And maybe it doesn't, but that still doesn't make dealing with it any easier.

[savior_n_black]

I get feeling bad about it, but getting stuck in guilt makes you stop going forward.
And ASKING people to hurt you to make up for something is dumber, still.

Deal with it by being a good person. Say you're sorry, sure, but don't wallow.
