[Video]

[The scenes aren’t prefaced by any form of communication. They simply start, like an unbidden play.

The first is of a gruesome murder and a game of cards.

The second is of an admittance to guilt, a voluntary hostage, and a challenge to a game of wits.

The final is of a girl, a murderer, and a discussion of faith over rapidly pooling blood.

Once the scenes have faded, Hiyono goes ahead and follows up with a broadcast of her own.]

Well, I suppose it was too easy of a solution after all. Leave it to this place to show off your past whether you want it to or not.

[A sigh. How troublesome.]

But really, what’s with those videos? Of all the times they could have picked, did they really have to go with the most gruesome ones? Why couldn’t it be the locked door mystery? Or the mystery of the girl who fell from the balcony? These ones are just going to give everybody the wrong idea, I just know it!

[Not… that those particular mysteries were really that less gruesome, but you know.]

((OOC: Obligatory warning for blood in both the first and third scenes.))

I'm just confused because you went from looking kind of happy for once right back to grumpy again!

You must be seeing things.

[Hi, my name is Shizuo and this is denial.]

My vision is perfect, I'll have you know!

Not necessarily, thanks.

Is the secret of your expressions really so top secret? Maybe I should research into it... There has to be someone around here who has a hint about the mystery of Shizuo Heiwajima's expression quick change!

[Yeah, she's basically just spouting random things in a dramatic fashion at this point.]

[>'someone around here who has a hint about the mystery of Shizuo Heiwajima's expression quick change'
>PING.
>He's taking this seriously.]

Stop right there. [A low growl. Yup, that definitely hit the spot.]

[Wow, that was definitely more of a reaction than anticipated.]

Oh? Does that mean there is such a person?

No. There isn't.

[His face say the other way around, tho.]

...You know, with an expression like that, you're not very convincing...

[He's just... going to glare here.

Don't push him, pl0x. You don't want to get hurt due to his impatience.]

What's with the scary look? It was an innocent question!

[...

...

Oh, well... Might as well warn her.]

There's this guy that you don't want to meet. I am dead serious.

[Well, she at least looks like she's taking him seriously, even if she's a bit perplexed.]

Someone I don't want to meet? Is he dangerous?

[Dangerous is basically Shizuo's breakfast so he can't say much about it...]

Annoying as hell, that's more like it.

That bad, huh?

Could I at least get a name? I can't avoid them if I don't know who it is.

[There will be a slight pause as Shizuo's taking a deep breath.]

Izaya, Izaya Orihara. Black hair, red eyes, usually wear weird coat or something like that.

[Oh. Him.]

Izaya Orihara? Is that guy someone from Ikebukuro like you, or just a person you've met here?

Long ago. I wish that I never met him.

So you have a personal history with him.

It must have been pretty terrible for you to dislike him so much!

[Yeah, like he'll share that experience.]

Look, just don't talk with him in any sort of communication. I hate to admit it, but that guy is fucking genius when it comes to ruining people lives.

[You're a bit late on that front Shizuo, but she'll file away his warning nonetheless.]

Why, does he do it often?

[That's exactly why he hates Izaya; he's always a head start to him.]

More than you ever imagined.

Could you give me any examples? If he's that bad, I want to make sure I know what to watch out for.

He's alive, and he's here. That's the biggest example.

[Ha...]

I'll keep an eye out, then.
