(video nov. 2) you can't break me down

[When the feed starts today, you'll see a familiar, goggled face. Though his hair is still a mess, it looks like he was finally back to his normal self. His skin was nice and tan again and he was back to wearing one of his soccer uniforms. Though there's something new in his outfit, a red band worn on his left arm. I wonder what that was for?

When he talks, he keeps his gaze away from the screen though you can't really tell behind those dark lens, and his voice seems kind of thick.. like he wasn't feeling well? It was probably the guilt from what he had done the past month.]

Good afternoon... everyone, this is Kidou Yuuto. I wanted to apologize for attacking and injuring those of you who I had ran into during the last month... I know it was mostly the Tower's fault I was acting that way, but it won't change the fact that I did assault some of you. [He takes a pause before speaking up again.] If you don't want to associate with me any further, I completely understand. However.. [He looks to the screen again, furrowing his brow slightly.]

I want you to understand that I would never harm anyone like I had of my own conscience. You don't have to forgive me for what I had done, but please do not view me as someone with bad intentions. [He straightens his posture a bit and folds his arms over his chest.]

Additionally, I would like to thank those of you who wanted to help me and the others in the Tower. Working together is really important.. I was too proud to realize this myself at first but then I met Endou Mamoru.. my captain. After playing for his team, he showed me how important having friends to support you really is. You could say he showed me the light... [No wait that was really cheesy for him to say.. it makes him smile a bit in embarrassment.]

What I'm trying to say is, I hope you'll all realize how important teamwork is too. We are able to get by months upon months of experiments by helping and supporting each other, I believe that once everyone in the tower is working together, we'll be able to finally return to our restored homes. [Wow he sure is talking a lot.. maybe something happened that changed his resolve...]

On top of that note, we have a lot of new foods this month I've realized... if anyone would like anything specific made of the ingredients, I would be more than happy to cook for you.

[He unfolds his arms and moves a few steps away from the screen to bow]

Again, I am deeply sorry for what I have done and thank you for being willing to help out this past few weeks.

[He straightens up and walks over to turn off the feed but he remembers something...]

Oh.. Kageyama-sousuii.. can you come help me with my hair..? [It's hard to braid on it's own ok.]

Don't worry, Yuuto. Nobody will think badly of you. [ and if they do, she'll take care of them-- okay, no, just kidding. (or maybe not entirely.) ]

Everyone was a little different, right..?

I do hope I was an excellent meal for you.

[ oooooh, yep, someone sounds incredibly bitter. ]

Yeah... they were. But that doesn't excuse anything I have done.

[He feels bad that Kidou seems to be having a bad time due to the Tower being dumb but... he doesn't know how to comfort his friend. He really wants to but it feels like he'll just be repeating himself over and over so instead he addresses something else Kidou mentioned.]

Your hair didn't go back to normal?

[He speaks a little quietly though, as though it can make Kidou understand his reluctance to try and offer solace.]

[He opens his mouth to protest but closes it, not entirely sure what to say... he ends up shifting his glance to the side guiltily, unable to respond.]

[He offers Sakuma a small smile.]

Seems so. It's alright though, it's not that big of a deal.

[He tilts his head slightly.]

Though I haven't seen you much at all the last month... how have you been, Sakuma?

It seems you missed the fact that the tower was in control over him during these past days.

I'm sure you'll find this happens uncomfortably often. Death is an inevitable, here.
You may want to adapt quicker than this.

I will wait for you in my room.

[All he needs to say, yes.]

[And with that, Kidou immediately goes up to Kageyama's room and knocks on the door!]

Hmph.

[ He pauses for a moment, averting the camera's eye, hands loosely hanging onto his clunky ol' terminal. ]

... Are you typically capable of such power? [ Not necessarily vampiric power, but just the general amount of strength required to- to kill the Ultimate Lifeform. Just- how? ]

You do not understand. I am the Ultimate Lifeform. I am not capable of dying.

I should not be...

[ He trails off, brows furrowing. He is clearly very frustrated, perhaps airing it out more on Kidou than he should be. ]

I cannot die. [ Denial. Pure denial. ]

Of course it does. It's easy to think of, right..? You.. weren't yourself. So the one who did those things wasn't 'you'.

So I take it that like everyone else, you weren't able to control yourself after a while. [He folds his arms, a somewhat bitter expression on his face.] Heh, and here I told you you would be able to control it with practice.

[Whoops.]

Anyway, how did things go with your friend?

I've been... okay. [He shrugs as he answers. He'd rather not talk about it although he's sure that's the same for everyone affected by what happened recently. It makes him incredibly uncomfortable to be reminded just how much control the Tower has over them all.] I'm glad it's finally over though.

[He's quiet for a moment as he thinks about that...]

I guess that's true but it doesn't entirely make everything okay.

No. It was entirely this place's influence that made it possible for me to hurt and kill others. [Which is actually pretty true he's not entirely the strongest person...]

Yeah... last month felt like it lasted a year. [Honestly, he thought he was going to be a vampire permanently for a while there...]

It was only logical to think that I would have been able to control it with practice.. after all, isn't that how most things work? [He lets out a sigh.]

...I was able to meet with him again near the end of the month... it looked like he had gotten transformed as well and he was able to stop me from hurting others... [How he stopped Kidou though......]

[ oh, that doesn't make him very happy. he gives a bit of a light snarl, shoulders slumping. ]

This damn tower...

Fine. You are forgiven. This 'Ruana' and his ilk, however, are far from that privilege.

... You're not a bad person. [ Her voice is a little firm than usually at that, even though she knows he knows it too, it's like other people will instantly know too when she says it like that. ]

So.. don't feel sorry for what happened. I don't want you to..

Urotsuki... [She really didn't want him to be upset about this, he can tell... and even though he still feels like the worst person in the world for what he did... he didn't want to upset her by moping around. Feeling sorry for himself wouldn't really help anything either.

So, he finally gives her a genuine smile. He'll stop thinking about this for now, if it will make her happy.]

Alright. I'll trust you, Urotsuki, and I'll stop worrying about what happened.

[ .. At that a smile breaks through on her own face too, even if it has that usual blankness, it's still genuine. She's just glad he's at least giving in on this, she doesn't want him to feel bad.. ]

So.. should I still come make up for it?

[It takes him a moment to think about that.... what did she mean by "make up for it"....

oh. oh, right. right she was going to.... give him... a kiss............ oh boy she's good at making him flustered look how red his face is slowly turning.]

If you feel like you need to... [He's not gonna complain if you do (-@u@-)]

Edited 2012-11-06 16:58 (UTC)

Hmm. I do.

[ MAYBE SHE JUST REALLY WANT TO okay deal with it boyfriendo.. she's going to wear the pants here even if she always wears a skirt. ]

So where are you?

I'm in the library right now... but maybe we can meet somewhere else... [Don't want your first kiss to be so public, right?]

[ Kidou, pls. Don't leave it up to Urotsuki, she honestly doesn't have a sense of what public decency is with some things.. ]

Somewhere else..? Like where?

Like my room or yours... they're right next to each other so it doesn't really matter which one we go to..

It did. [He sighs, but tries to smile back.] You're doing alright though?

Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Now that the last... event is over, we can finally focus on other things for once... [Maybe....]

[He nods slightly.] That's definitely preferable. [He rubs the back of his head.] Do you want to do something? You're right, it's been awhile.

[Which is weird to say considering they live in the same room but nothing about the last few weeks was ordinary.]

[He smiles a bit again.]

Sure, what would you like to do?

We can go to yours. I don't mind.

[ They've already slept before in the same bed after all you can't deny this.. ]

[Sleeping in the same bed is different than kisses though..]

Alright, I'll meet you there.

[ Wow, sleeping is her favourite activity, thank you!! ]

Hmm. See you in a bit. [ She's just going to head right over, okay -- what do you mean, someone's excited.. ]

{WELL IT'S STILL NOT AS CLOSE AND PERSONAL OK

and he leaves after a moment of sitting at the terminal and trying to get over his nervousness... Wow he's never even thought about being in a relationship before arriving here and he's never had anyone to help him with romance problems... he's not sure how well this is going to go hhhhhhhh

Once he notices Urotsuki, he waves a bit.]

Yo.

[ Unfortunately Urotsuki is totally oblivious to his inner turmoil, and she doesn't really share it either - despite being.. well, always this blank, she's not bad with romance at all. Or, at the very least, not ashamed of it at all. So she just smiles lightly when she sees him. ]

Hi. I came, just like I said.

[He nods and smiles.]

I'm glad that you did... [He makes his way over to his dorm and peeks his head in to check if the room was empty. After a moment, he opens the door all the way and steps aside for Urotsuki.]

After you.

[ She quickly gets in - eagerly, really, compared to his own nervousness about it she seems just.. well, enthusiastic.. she smiles as she waits for him to come in too. ]

Come on, come on. [ This is probably the most excited she's ever been, even. ]

I'm coming, I'm coming. [He lets out a small laugh and walks in, closing the door behind him.]

[ She doesn't really take any time to get closer to him, though - she's practically standing right in front of him now, hands folded behind her back as she sways back and forth a little from her toes to her heels. ]

... [ She doesn't say anything, but her whole pose is just saying 'so...?' ]

[He stares at her for a moment, and realizes that she's probably waiting for him to make some kind of move. He takes a deep breath, gently places his hands on her shoulders and leans forward, pressing his lips against hers.]

Edited 2012-11-15 22:33 (UTC)

[ Finally taking the initiative like a proper boyfriendo.. But she's been waiting for this, really, so the moment his lips touch hers she just freezes for a moment. The feeling is nice, though, so after that moment she slowly and gently starts kissing him back as much as she can. Ah, it really was worth the wait, either way - just being this close to him, kissing him.. it's really nice. It's why she doesn't regret coming here to the tower at all, this all makes it worth it in the end. ]

[As she kisses him back, his initial feeling of being nervous starts to fade away. What was he so nervous about, anyway? They loved each other... so it wasn't too crazy to kiss each other, right? And it's not like he's going to sneeze in her mouth or anything.

Really, the longer they kiss, the more used to it he gets, and when he pulls away, there's a warm smile on his face as opposed to the awkward one from earlier.]

That... wasn't so bad. [He reaches up and tucks a strand of Urotsuki's hair behind her ear.]

[ In return it makes her smile too. Not that she wasn't already, but it's just so good to see him so openly and genuinely happy about this too, it shows that it's not her who's really happy about all of this. It's just so nice to be by his side.. That kiss with him, the little touch, it's all nothing short of amazing. ]

.. Of course. Did you think it'd be bad..? [ Maybe she's joking a little - it's as usually difficult to tell with her - but the smile probably helps. ]

[He shakes his head]

I was just worried... because I hadn't actually kissed anyone before. [Well ok except Lancer that one time]

[ Lancer doesn't count, okay, this time it's ~official~. ]

Even if you haven't.. you're good. [ the smile doesn't fade at all. ] I guess I should've expected as much from you, Yuuto.. you're always amazing.

[His face flushes a little and he gives her another kiss, small one on the cheek.]

You're amazing too, Urotsuki.
