005 ~ [Video]

[disruptstatice]

[Some of you may know the face that shows on the screen. One stfuelly, who's being awfully quiet and, well. That would be because she's in a sleep coma, but that's not the only curious part.

There's a cat curled up on her chest, looking quite comfortable.

And then, a chipper voice some might recognise comes from outside the screen; Leo's.]

You know, I would have thought she wouldn't be comfortable to sleep on. But I guess when she's silent, a cat can't really resist something warm and absolutely still, huh? And I suppose her chest is... soft enough.

[Titter.]

I never would have thought I'd use a word such as "cute" in relation to lady Vanessa, but. I guess it's appropriate here.

The best thing is that she can't slap me for it. Right now, at least.

Define "bad boy".

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

The opposite of good boy?

[He leans in closer to the screen.]

Someone who does terrible things?

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

Have I ever been a good boy, then?

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

No. But you were better at hiding it. I suppose that's not an option here.

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

Sadly, no.

[Not that he really cares what others think of him, but... he's concerned about Elliot, mostly.]

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

I suppose I'll have that problem as well, eventually.

[He smiles, putting on a brave face.]

Tell me, Leo, will you still like me?

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

...

[Uhm.]



Excuse me?

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

You know. When you know all my deep terrible inner secrets.

[He's having way too much fun with this conversation, obviously.]

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

Implying I ever liked you in the first place.

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

... I'm hurt, Master.

[He can't resist it, really.]

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

Too bad.

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

That's how it is then.

[He tilts his head, as if listening for something.]

I'll keep that in mind, Leo.

[He'll find some way to pay that back, truly.]

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

Is something the matter?

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

You're smarter than that.

[Everything is the matter, idiot.]

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

Mmm.

It wouldn't be any different on that point even if things were as you're used to.

[That, he's sure of.]

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

...

[That might be true. But there's a difference, he thinks, anyway. It feels different.]

I can't do anything for anyone here.

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

[And that's his problem how?]

What would "anything" be?

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

What would anything be if we were talking about Elliot, Leo?

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

...that's a difficult question.

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

Exactly my point.

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

I think there's too much to mention.

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

Also my point.

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

But considering that. Logically, I should be able to do something. No matter how small, no matter it's not enough.

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

Tell me how that works out for you.

[Video]

[disruptstatice]

I... I've done things, things that he's asked of me, that he's wished for. I think... in the end, it's made him a little happier.

[In some ways. He's still unsure about them, but...]
