001 ✱ VIDEO

[mishaps]

[Kodaka is just staring, not saying anything yet. He looks away, breaking eye contact right before he speaks. He's breathing heavily because he's nervous, but instead it comes off looking like he's wheezing or has a very gruff voice.]

I've seen others post videos like this, and they mention how they feel or if they needed something. [He doesn’t particularly feel like expressing his thoughts about this place just yet. Instead his face and his ever so... strange pudding color blond hair tells you something is strange and odd about this kid.]

Is that what people share here? Sharing information about themselves, or asking things. Can you meet people and make friends using this? Like those social networking sites people use. [He attempts to smile, but it comes off looking rather scary. His smile looks more demented than anything.] My name is Hasegawa Kodaka and I’m looking to make friends here since I am new.[Somehow such a statement did not match with how he is looking in the video... which is downright omniscient and scary. He moves his face closer, so close only part of his face can be seen. He can’t help his nerves have gotten to him.] I like doing things friends do together and spending time with other people... oh, I like telling jokes! [While it may seem corny and pathetic, he really has no idea how to introduce himself on these social networking things. So sadly, he's giving out huge CREEPER!! vibes rather than someone friendly.] It'd be nice to meet some friendly people here who know how things work here.

[ooc: sorry for the delay everyone! busy weekend was busy.]

[giver]

Don't say anything about that at all!

Don't tell anyone about this! [is this the most human reaction he has made since he came here yes it is nooooo himari must think her big brother is cool!!!!!]

[mishaps]

Your secret's safe with me. [and he means it.]

[giver]

Good. [reputation: secured]

Just tell her you're my friend.

[mishaps]

[.................... does this mean.

wait this would be a lie right.

nvm he is still a loser.]

Fine, I'll lie, but just know you'll have to deal with whatever the outcome may be.

[giver]

Who's lying?

[mishaps]

We're not friends... so me telling we are is a lie.

[giver]

We're already friends.

Don't overthink it.

[mishaps]

[........... BUT THAT'S ALL HE EVER DOES WHEN HE THINKS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP.

over think shit

it's like the whole plot line wow you.]

Why are we friends? [leave him alone he's a socially awkward weenie who wants to know the answer so he can make more friends.]

[giver]

Is there any good reason we shouldn't be?

It seems obvious to me. I wouldn't exchange cell phone charms with you, but you prefer face-to-face anyway, right?

[mishaps]

Not really, but don't people usually have to know each other and spend time together?

[slowly makes a mental note about the cell phone charm thing leave him alone....] Yeah, but I do know how to text if you prefer that.

[giver]

As long as it reaches me quickly if you find her.

I know you and I've spent time with you. If you have to know someone for years to be their friend, that'd be unfortunate to all the people who have to move often.

[mishaps]

We should exchange numbers, then. Mine's [idk INSERT KODAKA'S NUMBER HERE this is how it works right....]

... You're right. [and he thinks back to his childhood friend, his voice saddening a little.]

[giver]

[it was 1 800 BUTTS but just texting his own number back w/e w/e]

What's wrong? You were the type of kid who moved around a lot when you were younger?

[mishaps]

[wow be lucky he won't be subjected to kodaka going YES ANOTHER CONTACT ON MY PHONE.]

I wouldn't say too much, but it happened. Almost happened an extra time, but I decided to stay in Japan with my sister instead of following my dad overseas.

[giver]

So you have a sister...

How old is she? Is she here? [WOW KANBA GREAT JOB SHOWING THE WORLD YOU'RE NOT OBSESSED OVER SISTERS OR ANYTHING]

[mishaps]

Thirteen, and from what I've been told, no she's not here.

[giver]

So the same age as mine...

You're not looking for her? [said with blase curiosity]

[mishaps]

I never said I wasn't.

[giver]

Good.

Family is the most important. [a tinge of something sweet in there]

[mishaps]

I just don't want people to feel bad for me or worry for me because I haven't found her.

[giver]

Isn't the important thing is to have someone find her, and not what other people think about you?

Their thoughts will change. Her disappearance won't.

[mishaps]

It's not about what they think, it's about their actions. I don't want them to feel sad for me or feel I need extra attention or help. I'll be fine, she'll be fine, and it'll work out.

[giver]

If that's what you believe. [ he doesn't sound cold, or skeptical. just a different intonation reflected in his words. ]

Are you used to people pitying you that way?

[mishaps]

It's not something I'm used to, but it's happened a good number of times once they hear things.

I don't think I'll get used to it.

[giver]

Like when you moved around?

Those aren't the sort of people who you should listen to.
