8TH DAY - [VIDEO]

[babel_hacker]

Do you want to go home? But why? Here, you can make a difference, however little. You can HELP and be dependable!

Uh, hey, guys?

C’mon, guys! Is there anything I can help with? I don’t want to be useless! Tell me that you’re glad I’m around, that you’re proud of me!

I think I got my own double here.

Just take that ‘I think’ part out. I am here, you know.

And what? Saying that you're me?

That's right! You gonna disagree?

W-well...

Database! Shadows! Personas! Hey, guys, ask me questions and I'll do my best to answer! Why bother going back home to normal life when you can have all of this?

But I do want to go home!

Lion's here. You want Yoohoo and Naoya to be stuck here as well, right? If they're here, there's no point going back.

What? No I don't--[Clicks. The feed turns off.]

(ooc: Shadow Atsuro tags will come from babel_glitcher.)

Where are you? Do you need our help?

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

I think I can take it over from here, Issei.

[Video]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

What do you want?

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

Just wanna be helpful and dependable to everyone, is that so bad?

[Video]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

It's not. But start by not hurting your other self.

[Madoka doesn't hesitate at all to contact her senpai. She didn't want him getting hurt, and she couldn't forgive herself if she lost another friend.]

Atsuro! Answer me! Are you all right?!

[babel_hacker]

[The video doesn't show him, but his voice can be heard.] I'm alright, Madoka!

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[Oh thank goodness! But she doesn't relax just yet... He needs help!]

Tell me where you are right now! I'll be there as fast as possible!

video.

[babel_hacker]

But it's dangerous!

We're at our room right now.

HEY!

video.→action.

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[N o p e. Also, thanks for being a bro despite also being a complete ass, Shadow!Atsuro. Madoka quickly ends the feed and grabs her bow.

Seconds later, she's going to be pounding on his door.]

[He doesn't even normally use the video option, but this is just getting to be necessary.]

Atsuro-?

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

Yo, Tatsuma.

[The eyes and echo sound in his voice should clue him in.]

[Video]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

[Of course.]

Where is the other you?

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

With me right now. A bit down at the moment.

[Video]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

[Darn. Asking politely worked before, but it looks like not all Shadows are that polite.]

At the dorms?

[Video]

[sapere-audea.livejournal.com]

[Shit, him too...]

Atsuro?

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

Hey, Lion! Are you going to come over?

Re: [Video]

[sapere-audea.livejournal.com]

What are you saying? Of course Atsuro isn't useless!

[Of course, his reply is fairly weak, and the giggled voice behind him pretty much says why, as do the yellow eyes leaning over his shoulder.]

That's supposed to be me, after all!

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

What? No, you're not!

Hey, of course I'm useless! That's why I act like I know a lot! No one would listen to a stupid, dumb kid.

[Video]

[sapere-audea.livejournal.com]

Shut up! [Lion actually tries to take a swing at his other self.]

Yikes! See? You're really on a hair-trigger!

Just... [He turns back to the video in desperation.] ...I want to talk to Atsuro. Not you.

[Video]

[voidquesting.livejournal.com]

I knew it.

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, it's the weird guy.

[Video]

[voidquesting.livejournal.com]

I had you pegged right from the start. Who would want to go home to their boring lives with all this power in front of them? We can't even die here!

[Video]

[babel-glitcher.livejournal.com]

The power's just a bonus, as far as I'm concerned, as long I can be useful. Compared to home, I'd just be a student.

[Video]

[voidquesting.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same here. This place is way better than home. I mean, the people aren't much better, but everything else is a big improvement.
