Fifteenth Flame : video; { brother from another mother... ?

[keepsthefire]

[Rin is in the Golden Victory kitchen, though for once his apron is off. His hair is slightly damp, and he's dressed in something a little odd (the one in the center) compared to his usual work uniform. No, there's no costumes this month, but he has a legitimate reason for being in something that looks more like proper host attire.

He also doesn't look too happy, either.]

So I got to start my day off with a damn blender explodin' all over me. But y'know... that ain't what's got me so irritated.

I'm hearin' some odd grumblin' around the club today. What's this crap 'bout "another Okumura"? And why the hell is everyone tellin' this guy shit about me?!

[He'll just wait (im)patiently for your answers, Vatheon.]

This is the first I've heard about a clone--perhaps your world has an alternate version of itself.

_{[Because clearly it makes sense because he has one too!]}

[Totally gonna glaze over that last part--]

That's super unfortunate, but it looks like your uniform was spared! [He he he.]

[keepsthefire]

... actually it does. I think...

[Since that's apparently where Bon and Kuro are from.]

But this don't sound like an alternate me.

video; 1/??

[keepsthefire]

I wasn't wearin' this--

video; 2/??

[keepsthefire]

... y...

video; 3/??

[keepsthefire]

What... the hell...

video; 4/4 DONE

[keepsthefire]

... WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

[fulmination]

That's what I thought when I heard about the alternate version of myself.

...Did they say how long he's been here?

[keepsthefire]

Coupla days. Probably got dropped in with the last buncha newcomers.

[darkasnight]

[He's still grinning. What a kid.]

You can call me Night. It's nice to meet you, kid! [It's very obvious he is enjoying this.]

So, what are you a waiter or something? [Host clubs aren't in his immediate thought range yet. One can only learn so much about humans in ten years.]

[keepsthefire]

... Night? Is that seriously a name... ?

[Gdit stop smirking you ass :| ]

Head chef, actually. I just didn't have anythin' to change in to after that stupid blender went tits up.

[darkasnight]

[Eye tic] Isn't Rin usually a girl's name? [So shut your mouth.]

Fancy title for just a kid! How long have you been working there?

video;

[keepsthefire]

No, it's unisex, and the kanji isn't the girl's one anyway!

[Ugh, grumble grumble mutter grr]

Almost a year... ... not that it's any of your damn business anyway! Why the hell are so many people tellin' you about me anyway?!

video;

[darkasnight]

I'm just saying I've met a lot more girls with that name than boys so...

[Don't pick on his name, bro.]

Beats me! I'm a pretty friendly guy, though so I'm not too surprised everyone feels so chatty around me. [Smile!] Obviously this just means we should meet in person, yeah?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Yeah well I ain't ever heard some one with the name "Night". "Yoru" maybe but not "Night"...

[Too late, man. Too late.

And all the huffing over here.]

How do I know you ain't some creeper and totally lyin' to make yourself look like a friendly guy?

video;

[darkasnight]

I have a unique reason for being called Night.

[This means war.]

Good point! Let's see... [He shuffles around his pockets before pulling out his ID card.]

From what I've heard about you we have a few things in common.

video;

[keepsthefire]

Tch. Whatever...

[Bring it, weirdo

-- wait...]

... Blue Cross?

video;

[darkasnight]

That's right. [He puts it away.] You're studying at True Cross Academy, right?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Y-yeah...

[Damn it guys stop talking about him when he isn't around!]

But what's Blue Cross, it sounds like some weird knock off brand...

video;

[darkasnight]

We do the same things you guys do, so don't worry your little head over it.

[Next topic.]

We're on the same team, you and I, so there's no reason to be outright wary of me! In fact you could probably learn a thing or two from me.

[Video]

[flyingdreams]

Yes, I saw that post! It didn't quite sound like you, though, so I had thought that I simply wasn't good at recognizing your face.

[Good job, Bris.]

Is this sort of thing common?

video;

[keepsthefire]

... w... wait is this why everyone was goin' on 'bout me?

[He's slooowly starting to piece things together. If Night was an exorcist - albeit an exorcist from some other version of True Cross - then he'd want to go after other demons. So... obviously his friends were looking out for him, making sure he didn't unwittingly become a target to some one who didn't know the truth about him.]

[Video]

[keepsthefire]

No way! It's weird as hell... he's an exorcist, too, but it ain't from the same place me and the rest of my friends are from.

video;

[darkasnight]

Maybe.

[The smile drops a little.]

Perhaps we should continue this conversation in person? When you're free to, of course.

video;

[keepsthefire]

Man... I don't deserve such awesome friends...

... y-yeah, I got an hour for lunch...
