caughtinanetwork | seventh flame: video { an apology and a request

[Rin looks surprisingly tired as he comes on the network this afternoon. He tries to smile, but it does little for how he appears right now.]

Hey uh... so about the other day when I was screamin' about my stuff gettin' stolen...

[There's a bit of a drawn out pause, and he actually bows his head a little.]

'msorry. I need to be better 'bout flippin' out like that. I upset a lotta people and... well... I actually have friends here so I better try to keep 'em and not act like such an ass, yeah?

[He clears his throat awkwardly and straightens, shifting uncomfortably in his seat as he glances away.]

Speaking of friends... uhm... I'unno if any of you who know Shing or Kohaku know but... Shing kinda--...

[Was an idiot? A dumbass? A jerkface mcstupidpants?]

Well he went away for a while and we dunno when he's comin' back. He's still IN Vatheon just... hidin'. Somewhere.

[Like a dumbass]

A-anyway... Kohaku is... pretty damn torn up over it. That on top'a bein' killed and brought back.

[Get to the point, Okumura]

I've been lookin' after her for the past coupla days but... she's not really sleepin' or eatin' unless I make her and... well uh. Guess what I'm sayin' is I need some help. I have work and I can't be there all the time, even if I wanna be. Maka suggested maybe takin' shifts lookin' after her, if anyone would be able to?

Thanks...

[He reaches forward with a tired sigh, and the feed ends a second later]

I don't think anyone could blame you for flipping out with- all the stuff going on lately.

Few people got on my case for cursin' so loud...

It's just words, right?

To some people they ain't. Lotta people think cursin' is somethin' kids shouldn't do.

Oh.

I guess there are some kids here who could pick it up.

Yeah. Kinda happened already...

Well- there's still a lot of things worse than that.

Yeah, I know... but one of them was Mrs. Brisby and I respect her so I figured I should probably start watchin' what I say a little more.

Mrs. Brisby?

Uh... she's a mouse. Well, a talking mouse. She's kinda motherly, though, so I got the "I thought you were better than that" speech from her when she heard it.

[Talking mouse? Nothing out of the ordinary there.]

...is that what mothers do?

[Oh, right. Mickey.]

I guess so? I never knew my mom but she kinda says a lot of the same things my old man used to... I guess it's just a parent thing.

I guess they are supposed to scold you, so you learn not to do bad stuff.

Basically. Not that... I ever listened to the old man much...

I think that's called "learning the hard way."

... yeah, sounds like me.

[Roxas shrugs.]

I've done it, too.

Hope you're smarter'n me then. I think Vatheon only needs one idiot actin' like an ass on the network.

[Not that it stops other people from doing it.]

I don't think I'm any smarter. I just screw up differently.

Pretty sure you can't top damn near burnin' the city down.

...that's more like something Axel would do.

I'unno, he seems way more in control than that...

You haven't seen him pissed off.

[He smirks a bit at that]

True. We just sparred. He seemed pretty chill durin' that.

[Gonna be quietly amused at your word choice, Rin.]

Yeah. He usually is.
