Kamae : Waki

[monohoshizao]

[VIDEO]

[If he count correctly, that date is exactly today. 8th of May, Buddha's birthday in Japan. Well, either on the April or this month, but since last month was very chaotic, he can't bring himself to do this. By 'this' of course he means giving a present to Prospero's favorite Buddhist, Issei Ryudo.

Unfortunately, Kojiro couldn't afford to get anything for him, but at the very least he could say something to Ryudo-dono.

Or so he wished, since the one person he could confide and relate the most from back home... was gone. Vanished. Without a trace.

The video would connect to the whole Prospero. On the screen is none other than Kojiro, without any smile nor seriousness on his face. If any, it's sadness.]

My apologies for interrupting your work, whatever you're doing... But I am afraid Ryudo-dono's number has gone from the list. [An exasperated smile goes here.] Not only him, I guess there's a lot other, in case it goes unnoticed. [There're others, but the one that-- No, thinking about his name again will bring nothing but more remorse.]

Thank you for your time. Have a good day, Prospero.

[His tone is a bit cheery, and it's obviously forced. The video will go off after a short while.]

action fuck hiatus

[ He noticed that the number was gone, but after seeing his friend's video post it's when Li decides to meet up with him in person to cheer him up, of course. He's a master of stalking, so it doesn't take him too long before he's close to his place. ]

Kojiro.

all of our fucks

[monohoshizao]

[His room is notably the most obvious in the hotel, the first room on the first floor. He have a lots of guess who's the guest, Li's one of it and he's right here, alright.]

Ah, greetings.

[He'll try to smile, even if it's an exasperated one.]

Come in.

[assaultedramen]

Yeah, tons of people are gone, what the hell did you guys do over the past week?

[monohoshizao]

Taking care of Shadows count?

[He's going to force a joke here, mainly for himself though.]

[assaultedramen]

By feeding everyone to them?

[monohoshizao]

[He manages to chuckles a little.]

This kind of joke is not too good for my ears.

[assaultedramen]

[Miki chuckles in response.]

I guess we could pretend that that is what's happened to people. That they get eaten by the shadows.

[monohoshizao]

You're very cheerful, aren't you?

[He's smiling now. He doesn't really know this girl, but he appreciated this.]

[assaultedramen]

I try. I've been kinda angry at everyone recently though.

[monohoshizao]

No one to blame. It was the full moon's doing again, wasn't it?

[assaultedramen]

Really? I guess that does make me feel a bit better. I remember a lot of people seemed madder than they normally would be.

[monohoshizao]

Haha, I didn't keep tab of it as well before he reminded me.

[croibhristeoir]

...please tell me you're not serious.

[monohoshizao]

[Diarmuid...? Right, Issei said that he was pretty close to him, to the point he call him as his brother.]

My apologize. I should have filtered this post from you.

[Yeah, he learned that. This was a fail move from his part, he saw how depressed the Fourth Lancer before him already on one of the feeds.]

[croibhristeoir]

N...no, I...thank you for telling me. I'd rather know now than find out later.

[monohoshizao]

[Sadly, Kojiro never mastered the 'BEST PEP TALKER', so it's kinda hard here.]

...He was an amazing boy.

[croibhristeoir]

He was the closest friend I have had since I was still alive--as close to me as family. There are few others who understood me as well as he did.

[monohoshizao]

I wouldn't agree more. I never talked with him from back home, but we lived under the same roof. [Nothing like that, really.]

His determination was unparalleled, yet I am kinda glad that he doesn't need to see anymore bloodshed and unnecessary things.

[croibhristeoir]

...you're right. I would hate to see him suffer any further, yet...I wish I could at least have said farewell.

[monohoshizao]

[A nod.]

Aah. Today [Or yesterday lol timezone] is when they celebrate the Buddha's birthday. Just imagine what the boy will say to the Prospero about this day.

[His words doesn't exactly reach Issei, but he'll silently congratulate.]

[croibhristeoir]

I can imagine, I think.

[monohoshizao]

[Hmph.]

If it's not too much for me to ask, are you doing well? [Especially after all this.]

[croibhristeoir]

I am a little better after speaking with those that remain. I still think I need to get out of the city for a while.

[monohoshizao]

I won't stop you. In fact, I'll suggest you to do that for a while. The atmosphere in Prospero isn't to my liking as of now.

[croibhristeoir]

Likewise. Hopefully when I return things will have settled down somewhat.

[monohoshizao]

Worry not, we will try to return the peace to where it belongs.

Where are you heading for, Diarmuid?

[croibhristeoir]

I suppose there's nowhere I'd rather go but Ireland, ultimately.

[monohoshizao]

I wish you the best, Diarmuid.

While at it, I might suggest you take a land or two on Japan. Whether Fuyuki is there or not.

[croibhristeoir]

Maybe not this time. I have little more than unpleasant memories of that country--though I admit I envy you, being summoned into your homeland.

[monohoshizao]

Haha, envy me not. I am barely known from my previous lives.

[croibhristeoir]

Perhaps not. Still, I confess I have since my summoning wished to see home again.

[Video] Sorry for lateness!

[truthsnomiracle]

That's highly disconcerting, given that Mr. Ryudo is one of the few stabilizing forces among us.

[Video] 's ok \o/

[monohoshizao]

Your point stands the highest. I should say that Ryudo-dono's capabilities of healing surpassed almost everyone here as well.

[Video]

[truthsnomiracle]

His willingness to share those capabilities was also rather high.

Given what others have said to me in the wake of my... moment of weakness, I'm concerned not only for the many people close to him, but for myself as well.

[Video]

[monohoshizao]

Ah, you're close with him as well? That's not quite surprising, though, considering Ryudo-dono's friendliness.

Are you doing well, Mr. Edgeworth?

[Video]

[truthsnomiracle]

I wouldn't go so far as to say we were close, but I did benefit from his support.

...I've improved. [Which, in context, isn't saying much...]

[Video]

[monohoshizao]

Friend with benefits? That was very cruel of you. [Just a joke here.]

That's natural. No one would recover from the recent events that fast.

[Video]

[truthsnomiracle]

Wh-- I don't pursue relationships of that sort!

[Video]

[monohoshizao]

You're the one that said you benefit from Ryudo-dono's support, are you not?

[Video]

[truthsnomiracle]

In the sense that he went out of his way to help people.
