008; [video/action] Day 140

[video]
[It starts very abruptly with a wham, and at a crazy flurry of movement that might cause some viewers to get motion sickness if they're sensitive to it. Obviously the person on the other end of the feed doesn't care, or more accurately doesn't even know they're recording. The shape flashing across the scene almost looks like a windowsill, and for a few seconds the bracelet's camera catches what looks like a very, very dead, squished spider.

There's forced breathing, like someone's doing it through clenched teeth, before the video statics and cuts completely.

...Only for a second video to pop up, about five minutes later. This time it's an equally confusing and unstable view of someone yanking a drawer of a dresser open, and pulling out everything inside. This one is shorter, before it ends abruptly again.]



[action]
[Roughly fifteen minutes later, there is a bonfire burning on the grounds next to Hel House. Vanitas has piled everything he's come to possess in Asgard--clothing, a weapon or two, a pouch full of runes, the charm Euri gave him... even his bedsheets--over a few dry sticks and grass that he was able to collect in a frenzy, and has lit the whole thing up with a book of matches he confiscated from the kitchen.

The only thing he hasn't added to the pile are the clothes on his back and his helmet, which he's actually put over his head, and is clutched between his hands. He's sitting cross-legged in front of the product of his seemingly unhinged actions, firelight glinting off the black visor.]

[ While normally Kaz doesn't pay any attention to videos that don't involve girls or strange thumps the come from the floor below him, it's kind of hard not to poke around just a little.

Seeing the squished spider is more than enough to startle him though and he jumps when the wham happens in the video. After that he's got the trained reaction of anger--of course it'd be some fucking ignorant human, scared of spiders who couldn't be bothered to just move it outside...and seriously, who the fuck keeps rustling around down there??

Kaz makes the trip, but not in time to catch Vanitas. He only sees the remnants of his tantrum. He ventures in a little, looking around with a lifted brow...and spies movement outside. So he hurries over to the window and looks out just in time to see that little fire of his start.

What the fuck is he....?

A glance down and he sees the remains of the spider. His eyes narrow and his lips form a thin line...but from what he can tell, it doesn't seem to be Qhhth'ssqhk? Hard to tell since it's been squished though.

This means that the video was Vanitas'...so for whatever reason, he's gone and freaked out.

Kaz intends to find out why. ]

[Even though Hel isn't her house she has a tendency to spend a lot of time there. The reason for that is mostly Kaz, so it isn't really surprising that she's on her way over there now to see if he wants to go out for a bite to eat.

As she arrives at the house she raises an eyebrow at the sight of the bonfire. Nakama's thing isn't today, right...? She can't actually remember though, and she's about to turn around and leave when she catches sight of a very very familiar helmet.

Vanitas...?

Euri stops, staring for a few second in confusion, before she walks over. It is Vanitas, and what on earth is he doing...? She's watching him, still very confused, as she comes to a stop a few feet away.]


Hey....

[If Vanitas actually knew who Beat was, and understood the sentiment behind Neku seeing a similarity between them, he'd deck him. Luckily Vanitas isn't a mind reader, and Neku...]

[He's stupid enough to approach, after the fire is lit and Vanitas has no further actions to push his emotions into.]


Not the smartest move ever, you know that?

[A pause. He feels more awkward than ever, hunching his shoulders and ducking his head to hide the bottom half of his face in his collar, but his eyes remain on the-- despondent?-- person in front of him.]

[The last time he saw someone like this, Rhyme was Erased. It's not a pleasant image to recall.]


...Lose something?

[ Good 8| because that is exactly what he's going to go when he gets down to the main floor level, stalking over to him and shoving a hand into his back. ]Oi.

[Yep, it's very obvious that something is wrong. Euri ignores him and steps closer, crouching down next to him.]

What happened?
parasiteye: (OW fuck)

[personal profile] parasiteye 2012-09-07 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kaz makes terrible decisions it's practically his thing--and the blow glances him because he's not able to get out of the way entirely ]

The fuck is your problem?!
parasiteye: (noose time)

[personal profile] parasiteye 2012-09-07 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh--?? The fuck are you talking about?? [ Advice...?? What advice could he have given Vanitas about spiders? They barely even spoke on a good day, and the one that'd been squished wasn't Vanitas'. It was too big for...





Oh. That stupid thing got itself killed!

Small spider, big spider. Made sense ]

[That's wonderfully vague and making Euri feel even more concerned. She's moving to kneel, quiet for a few moments before she lifts a hand to start rubbing his back.]

Is that why you've made that...? [She gestures are the fire.]

Are you alright?

[She'll keep that up, then, finding his comment to explain things a little.]

Loss is part of life. Destroying things you care about won't make you feel any better.

And the giant squished one? [ he already knows the answer, but he wants the confirmation anyway. A lot more of this is starting to make sense now. ]

You can try as hard as you want, but you'll never be able to. Not completely.

[Well, at least he's used to dealing with snippy antisocial jerks. It can't be that bad, right?

Debaaaaaating for a second if he should continue in video (he did select video, right? people seemed to do that a lot, right? this device and its etiquette isn't... really... what he's used to...) since the other is using it more like a telephone, but he figures it'd be stranger to cut it off now.]


Aaa... sorry. [Sincere, but:]

Of course it matters. Why wouldn't it?
