caughtinanetwork | twenty fifth flame: accidental video/action for villa; {something gained and something lost

[The broadcast gets a noisy start right off the bat. Whatever is happening, Rin is apparently in a panic and has knocked his SFC and several other things off the end table in his flailing. The crash of things hitting the ground is followed by a frantic yell.]

--n't see! MAKA! DAD?! Fuck--!

[Even being "blinded" (he's not, he just hasn't figured out that the little spots of light he's seeing amongst the darkness is actually soul perception) he tries to get up, but as the SFC shows, those items that he knocked off the end table are perfectly placed to trip him up in his current state. There's a loud cry for him as he goes crashing to the ground, still dressed in a tee-shirt and sweatpants since he just woke up to this nonsense.

He gropes about until his hand finally covers the SFC, blacking it out for a minute until he can get it facing forward. His eyes look a little strange - still blue but with the pupils sort of dilated in an unnatural state. They dart around frantically, though he really can't see anything except for those glowing lights that seem to be all over the place for him.]

I can't-- ... I hope this thing is on 'cause... w-well I'unno what's happenin', I'unno what I did wrong but I can't see! There's just... lights...

[Yeah, he's properly panicking. This isn't good. Being blinded is a punishment, isn't it?! He has no idea if his SFC is even recording so he just gives it up, getting to his feet with it still in his hands. Even blinded he's going to attempt to walk through the Villa, hoping to find somebody that can help him.]

Kid?! Yukio?! Somebody, help me please...

Rin? Maybe you should- take it easy if you can't see.

I-I don't wanna-- just sit here and wait for some one...

[Yeah he's scared, and he really can't find any way to hide it right now.]

You're in your own house. Is it really that scary?

I can't see!

[Of course it's scary, Roxas.]

Is it that much different from when it's really dark?

[...Roxas, you don't really have that much trouble seeing in the dark.]

I can actually see in the dark! This is-- it's-- I-I can't describe it, okay?!

[Nothing like utter pitch black dotted by glowing souls that don't actually give up that much light to make you feel tiny and frightened.]

Okay, okay. Um... There's gotta be other people home, right? They can help you do stuff.

Should be... I... I don't think Maka went out, but she wasn't in bed when I woke up this morning.

Maybe she got up for breakfast.

M... maybe. Then she'd be downstairs.

[But. Stairs.]

...go to the top of the stairs and yell?

Y... yeah okay, I can make it that far... I think...

It's just going down a hallway, right?

[He guesses. He's not sure what the place looks like.]

Well... yeah, I just-- ... fuck which way are the stairs...

...

[Rin, shouldn't you know the layout of your own house by now?]

Would it- help if I went over there?

[You ever try to navigate a familiar place blindfolded?]

... y-yeah a pair of eyes would be good...

[Not so much. He and Axel haven't even gotten to vanilla yet.]

Okay. Be there in a minute.

[Literally, since he'll be portalling outside the villa and heading inside. Ah, there's the staircase. He starts up it.]

Rin?

[Har har.]

Over here...

[Rin gave up trying to find the stairs and just dropped down on the floor. Roxas will find him clinging to the banister for dear life.]

[Roxas finds him easily enough, and Rin being the first person he's seen in person today, he finally finds out the curse hasn't skipped him.]

Uhhhh. W-weren't you- dressed before?

[Woops, that sure is some x-ray vision there.]

[I'm sorry Roxas, did you say something? Because Rin is suddenly making a lot of noise. A lot of screaming noise.]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[Roxas jerks back a few steps.]

I- I'm sorry! I won't look!

[...that's what he's flipping out about, right?]

Look at what?! Do you see it?!

[Not... exactly...]

Y-you, being all...

[Naked. But Rin seems to mean something else.]

See what?

There's this... ball of light in front of me! It's all I can see! What the hell?!

It wasn't there before?

...

I'm in front of you.
