[Video/Action] First Stitch, revisited ℵ

[sewdamncute]

Video
[The journal opens up when Kanji's foot tips it over. The camera shows the tree tops, leaves dark and green with tiny splotches of a blue sky showing through. The voice of an irate male is heard shouting at the top of his lungs at no one in particular.]

Can't believe I'm back here with these dumb ass wings. The fuck is wrong with these stupid bastards that they can't leave me back home where things are finally calm?! It's Golden Week!

And why the hell are these wings so...pink? Do I look like a dude who wears pink?

[And suddenly, Kanji's very angry face is in front of the camera. It's obvious that he's in the New Feather pants and no shirt. He really doesn't look like a guy who should even know what the color pink is, let alone wear it.

His grey eyes go wide before a slight blush shows on his cheeks.]

Fuck!

[And then the journal is slammed shut.]

Action
[Later, when he's dressed in his normal clothes, Kanji can be found looking for a place to stay, since he already knows how Luceti works. After finding an apartment, he's going grocery shopping and stopping off to get some supplies to occupy his time.

He'll also stop off at Seventh Heaven for dinner and to see who's working there. He stops off at the school and Azalea to check in with his former teacher. He would like to see when the school is back in session.]

Comments

You ever been to the school? The classes are optional, but there's things like "World Sharing". You get to hear about the things that make our worlds different and the same. It's kinda cool.

[It's his second favorite subject.]

There was a pizza place here? That sounds awesome. What happened to it?

[mysicksadlife]

I don't know. Whoever ran it left, or something.

World sharing sounds kind of cool, but I think it would be upsetting to realize just how different some of the places people come from here can be.

[sewdamncute]

That's kinda lame. I think havin' a pizza place here would be nice. 'Course, I can't cook worth a damn, so I should shut up about it.

World Sharing's cool. Helios-sensei also teaches Magic class. Anyone can take it. He teaches you how to talk to the magic spirits that run around here.

[mysicksadlife]

I can find my way around the old kitchen. Also, I've had a little experience with these spirits. I wasn't really happy about it.

[sewdamncute]

[He's trying, okay? Cut him some slack.]

You ever thought about workin' on a weekly paper or something for the enclosure? You could interview people and stuff like that.

[mysicksadlife]

[No, she appreciates it, on some level. The deadpan lack of enthusiasm is just her default.]

Maybe. But would people really work for it and read it? I guess if it came on the journals, some of them would...

[sewdamncute]

I'm sure someone would. Might be interesting.

[He takes a moment before he says the next thing.]

I'd read it.

[There! Marvel at his attempt to be encouraging like Yu-senpai. REVEL IN HIS GLORY, FUCKERS!]

[mysicksadlife]

[Did he just say that? Because it's really nice to hear.]

Hey. Thanks. If I do something, I'll let you know about it.

[sewdamncute]

[Yeah, he said it. Don't expect him to repeat it any time soon, though.]

You're welcome.

[That comes out a whole hell of a lot gruffer than he expected, but he's embarrassed now and it's starting to show again.]

Keep me in the loop then. I, uh, I guess I should actually walk into the village instead of staying out here in the forest like some weirdo.

[mysicksadlife]

I don't know about going that far. You miss the crazy, too, if you stay out of the village.

[sewdamncute]

Yeah, well, my clothes are in the shops, so gotta go there some time, right?

[mysicksadlife]

I suppose that's true enough. I won't begrudge you once or twice, anyway. And if you happen near where I'm staying, it wouldn't be horrible if you said hi.

[sewdamncute]

Thanks, I guess.

[Hard to tell when she's teasing. Almost as bad as with Senpai sometimes. Damn dry tone jerks. Why can't he have a voice like that?]

I dunno where you stay. I was thinkin' of pickin' one of the apartments in the village like last time. Maybe not the same one though. Dunno if it's occupied or not.

[mysicksadlife]

I wouldn't know, but if you liked it, it's worth checking. I've stayed in this spot pretty much the whole time I've been here.

[sewdamncute]

It was alright. I'd like to be back home, but I guess that ain't happenin' right now. 'Sides, I'd rather be closer to the ground. Fifth floor's hell trying to drag heavy groceries up to.

[Plus, who knows if they ever repaired the oven from the time that Yukiko tried to cook.

Also, THAT'S NOT TELLING HIM WHERE YOU STAY, DARIA!]

[mysicksadlife]

[Well at least she fixes that now.]

I'm over in house 19, with my sister.

[sewdamncute]

[Whoa. Whoa. Waaaaaaaaaait. Girl is giving address to home. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?]

Uh, y-yeah, alright. I, um, I might drop by if I'm in the neighborhood.

[mysicksadlife]

[To Daria, it's as simple as that: There's someone who's kind of cool to hang out with, so it'd be cool if they came to her house. She doesn't really consider it much beyond that.]

Sure. Give me some time, and I'll even make sure the place isn't too much of a mess.

[sewdamncute]

[No, Kanji is dumb and pretty simplistic. Girls just don't invite guys over like that. Nope. But... hell, Luceti is pretty weird.]

Uh, yeah, I'll do that. Might not be 'till I'm settled.

[Because still awkward and who the fuck knows what'll happen in the meantime.]

[mysicksadlife]

Alright. I'll see you around, then.

[sewdamncute]

Yeah, seeya around, Daria.

[And before he says something dumb, he waves awkwardly and shuts the journal. He's got too much shit to do so he doesn't have to think about what just happened.]
