caughtinanetwork | ninth flame : video/ various filters

[Rin looks surprisingly distant and thoughtful today. He's lacking his two usual modes - growling and pissed off or cheerful and derpy. He's just sort of... there.

As much as he wanted to believe it wasn't going to bother him, what Maka revealed is getting to him. And it's not even necessarily the relation to the other two that's bothering him. It's more the other questions he has on his mind.

But for the public post, he has a purpose aside from that.

Oh and he totally has a Kuro sleeping on his head]

Hey uh... if anyone wants any free lunches already made and you don't wanna bother with the lines at the restaurants today, I grabbed a buncha leftovers from the ball we had frozen and made some. I got way more than even everyone in the Villa is gonna eat, so I figured I'd just give 'em away.

[He holds one up. It's got a rather interesting assortment, not strictly Japanese since there was a pretty good assortment of cultures represented in the food at the masquerade. But whatever, they still look damn good. And Rin has enough bento boxes behind him on the counter to feed about twenty people. How the hell does he do that?

Aaand here comes the next part.]

video//filter//away from Amaimon and Mephisto

Also uh, if anyone sees this guy?

[Rin holds up a picture Amaimon.]

And he's harassin' you or whatever, just send him my away, okay? I'll deal with him.

[He pauses, then continues with with quite a bit of reluctance in his voice, with a tone of some one who is struggling to accept something but knows that he has to sooner or later.]

Just... just tell 'im "little brother" is lookin' for him.

That's it.

[He goes to turn off the SFC, but stops and frowns, switching the filter one last time.]

video//filter//to: Mephisto

Oi. Clown.

We gotta talk.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

... yeah.

[Can't you tell how thrilled he is?]

...

You don't look much alike.

He's uh... father's kid.

Not that I know what the bastard looks like, and not like Amaimon is really a kid but whatever...

[Roxas chews on that for a moment. He's not used to thinking about parents, to be honest. But, okay, does that mean they only have the same dad?]

Your mom must've been pretty.

[Yup! Not that Rin is making that particularly clear. At least Roxas catches on to it.]

Huh... ? ... oh, yeah. I guess she was. Yukio said she was.

[After he hounded him for days about it. Seriously Yukio, why you no tell him things.]

How come he knew but you didn't?

Actually I dunno if Yukio knew about Amaimon and Mephisto. And Mom? ... that's a pretty long, weird story.

[Actually he was only asking about your mom there but he's taking that as an "I don't want to talk about it."]

Oh.

What's with that one guy anyway? Does he- have something against you?

[Rin's knowledge of the entire thing is pretty fractured anyway, for reasons he'd rather not remember, so yeah we'll just place that under "don't want to talk about it".]

Amaimon? Che... I don't even know anymore. Startin' to think it's just 'cause I'm the only one strong enough to keep up with him...

So... he just likes fighting?

He likes a challenge. He gets "bored" otherwise.

I think he likes food a little more though, so feedin' him usually gets him to chill out for a while.

Guess I'll keep that in mind if he ever bugs me.

Yeah just... don't even try to fight him, okay?

[He really doesn't want a repeat of what happened to the Kyoto trio.]

I don't really pick fights.

I know. He doesn't really know how to take 'no' for an answer though.

[It's not you he's worried about, Roxas. It's Amaimon and his skewed sense of-- ...

No. His utterly lacking sense of right and wrong.]</small.

...I can always skip out on him, I guess, if he starts anything.

[He doesn't usually run away either, but portals are handy for that?]

Those... portal thingies, yeah?

That can get you away pretty quick...

Y-yeah, they could.

... you're... sure 'bout that... ?

Yeah, I just- forgot you knew about that.

Oh. Yeah... I almost forgot I knew, too!

How does that work?

Uh... by bein' me. Usually.

[Yup, all the dopey grinning.]

At least I'm not the only one with a bad memory, I guess.

It ain't my memory that's the problem, I just don't... keep stuff in my head very well.

[Rin, that's the same thing.]
