Week 31 Day 6 [Accidental video]

[The feed opens up to a the back of small figure curled up in a dark corner. Four is just setting there, staring blankly at the stone wall of the tiny area he has found underneath the house he stayed with Lenalee and the others. He has been in this little space since yesterday, the desire to do anything or go anywhere has vanished as he slowly and ( Read more... )

[ Kakashi is... actually not sure what on earth he just saw. Or what this... creature is. But it appears to clearly be in pain, and it's actually... kind of cute, now that he thinks about it. ]

Hey... are you okay?

[ He's not actually sure why he's even asking this. ]

[Four finishes the projection of his brother carefully inspecting a couple of spoons and collapses. The effort of keeping up these projections for this long has a huge toll on him, and he could feel himself on the edge of blacking out.

He slumps onto his back and looks up listlessly at the device that is now talking to him. He blinks at it, but doesn't do much else.]

[ Blinks back and kind of just stares at the thing. Maybe a touch confused now. Maybe it doesn't understand language?

He tries to wave at it. ]

[Four drags himself over to the Hitomi and pokes at it tiredly until he got the text to work.]

Hello

[Matt's never seen anything quite like this... doll? That's closest. Maybe.

One thing he can recognize, though, is missing someone.]

Hey, little... dude?

Who is that?

[Four drags himself over to the Hitomi and wonders how long it's been on. He doesn't particularly care though.]

Someone like you. A brother or sister?

[He ducks his head, lighting a cigarette.]

I guess it's kind of a cliche, but it'll get better. I lost someone I care about, too.

[On any other day Four would be excited at whatever any human did or said.

Right now, he can't bring himself to be.]

My twin.

He isn't here.

I want him here.

Four-kun...?

[Iruka is tentative in his approach, because there is something in how the little thing, this little person, in how he moves, how he behaves, how he reaches for something that isn't there, that reminds him of little children standing in the downpour, who've been left behind.

(The ones who stand quietly in the back of a funeral. The ones who watch others walk away hand in hand with their family. Their friends.)]

[He remembers who this person is.]

Iruka.

[What more can he say than that?]

I don't think you should be by yourself.

[Iruka understands now that Four-kun doesn't... speak. But writes. So far. He only wishes he is able to express more through text.]

Do you eat? Drink tea?

I was never alone when I was with 3.

[Four vaguely finds the question to be interesting.]

No. We don't need to.

Thank you though.

[Kanda can't quite tell where the video is coming from, but it does look like a part of their house. And while he can't be bothered to really go around searching for the little thing, Lenalee had been worried it's been missing. Or, well, maybe he should start calling the creature 'he', because he quite dislikes considering something with feelings a mere object.]

[Either way, he decides that for the good of Lenalee and therefore the house including himself, he should try to find out at least where 4 is at the moment. ...no, of course he's not concerned, don't be ridiculous. Time to bait him out... And, of course, does it in his usual way.]

Is that under the floor? Quite sure there are rats there. You might want to get out.

[Four looks over at the communicator and shrugs. He hasn't had too much trouble with rats down here, so he's not that worried about them. He can't bring himself to care even if there is a rat problem.

He pushes himself up into a sitting position despite his exhaustion and starts another projection. This time it is a black and white scan of a broken apart and destroyed city. Three pops out from behind a large shoe and Four's focus immediately zooms in on him. His twin grins triumphantly and holds up a shoelace that he has been working pulling out for the past hour...]

[Of course, another one. Kanda can't exactly relate to missing one's family, but he figures that's the reason the little guy is so upset. There's nothing else he can offer but to deal with it, however.]

Lenalee's worried about you.

[Almost a little accusingly, there.]

[Four inwardly sighs and drags himself over to his Hitomi once he is done with his projection.]

I'm right here.

Nothing can hurt me here.

Lenalee does not need to worry.

[He does feel a little bit of guilt however, he doesn't want Lenalee to worry at all! He likes Lenalee. He just... doesn't want to leave this little dark hole right now.]

[This is... the strangest, most surreal moment. Because of all things...
Yuui would have never imagined having something as daunting as the loss of not just a twin, but if their numbers were any indication, an older twin in common with the fascinating little doll.

But that's a pain he knows far too well - one that, for him, is only just now beginning to heal. But that feeling of loneliness, of separation - like you're missing the most important part of you?

Yuui would have never expected it in a 'doll'.

But there it was in flickering black and white. That alone is reason enough for him to flick on the video and offer a hollow reassurance. Hollow, because he also knows... nothing anyone can really say can lessen what the little bugger is feeling.]

...Not all hope of seeing your twin again is lost here. It took some time, but my twin was returned to me by these gods. Fai...Fai's my 'three', so give them time and maybe they'll give your twin back to you, too.

[Four places a hand over his eyes and winces. He is pushing himself too far, he supposes that he should stop or he'll wear out the tiny lightbulbs and other things in his head. He glances at the communicator and picks it up.]

Why did they take him to begin with?

[Four has never experienced such pain and loss like this before, and he is unsure how to cope with it. He knows (or he hopes) that Three isn't dead, but they are so far apart now that he might as well be.]

How long did it take for them to return your Fai to you?

[It's a little easier to answer in kind, though seeing the words written out in cold black and white seem even worse in some ways. Still, it's no secret in this place, not anymore, so there's no real point in lying.]

They didn't take him. He died when we were small, a very long time ago, and these gods gave him back. He's still little, but - well, you met him the last time we spoke.

[Text] 4_thecuriousone November 15 2011, 04:28:15 UTC
He died?

[The thought is a terrifying one. What if something has happened to Three?]

What purpose...

Do the "Gods" want to punish us or reward us?

[He has no idea.]
