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.

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.]

...what's the difference?

W-well I'm just not any good at sittin' down and learnin' something.

[It makes sense to him, okay?]

[Hang on. He's trying to figure out the association between sitting and learning.]

You mean like school?

Yeah! I'm crap at it. Didn't even make it past middle school.

I've never been.

You're lucky then! It's a pain in the ass!

Yeah, I kind of remem--

[Roxas, ordinary people don't remember things they've never done.]

I mean, I've heard about that. Um. That it's boring and stuff.

[You're lucky Rin is still kind of in distracted derp mode, Roxas.]

It is. And people are jerks.

Jerks?

[...what, like Riku?]

Yeah, people who think they're all awesome and stuff, and strut around with bad attitudes pickin' on people they think are weaker then them, beatin' them up and takin' their things cause they can't fight back. Or laugh at the bigger girl who just wanted to give you a damn towel to be nice, 'cause she's not like the pretty skinny girls or whatever.

...that sounds really stupid.

Mhmn! It is! And then there's school work and lame teachers on top of it and I could never get the work done so I just said 'screw it' and bounced. It's not like I had any friends anyway...
