First Blossom [Video]

[The man that appears is standing in the middle of the street. He is wearing a black kimono and a white haori bearing the number '6' in kanji beyween his shoulderblades. He is holding a key and a card in his right hand, signalling a new arrival to those who have been here longer.

His left sleeve is completely torn away, and his left arm is bleeding. It looks like it's been sliced into by a lot of tiny blades.

He doesn't look to be in pain, though. He's paying no heed to the injury. Mostly, he is looking vaguely irritated and decidedly unimpressed with his current situation.]


The explanation as to how I came to be here when I am supposed to be elsewhere was wholly inadequate. I am expecting a better one.

[His tone means 'right now, or else...'. He truly expects to be listened to and answered.]
sidecar: (You wouldn't have heard of it.)

The explanations don't get much better than what you've already heard. You might as well get comfortable.

Right now? Just pick a place that's still standing.
sidecar: (Too busy not caring.)

[Wow, this guy is serious. Okay.]

The apartment's aren't too far from the Hold. [Insert slightly more helpful directions here.] The building took some damage in the bombings, but I guess if they gave you a key already your room must be okay.
sidecar: (Fucking plottwists.)

Oh, you're kidding me! They left that part out of the welcome speech?!
sidecar: (I told you not to call me here.)

I know they're busy right now, but this is getting ridiculous.

Look, uh--you didn't exactly show up at a great time. Those United Earth guys just spent almost a week attacking us.
sidecar: (Check out this sweet Origami impression.)

The whole reason you're here! Geez, if the Initiative didn't explain that then what did they tell you?

[A short laugh.]

'Out of the realm of possibility' is something you'll get used to quick. All that crazy stuff about time travel and war is true, there are people here who've been part of all of it.
sidecar: (That's all very impressive.)

Some kinda bigshot, huh?
sidecar: (. . .)

[His turn to be skeptical.]

A shinigami.
sidecar: (No ma'am.)

[...What.]

Court of Pure Souls?!

You're joking, right?
sidecar: (He won't suspect a thing.)

[He stares back as if waiting for a punchline, but when it doesn't come he gives in and laughs anyway.]

Y'know, I've heard some pretty weird things since I got here, but I think you win!
sidecar: (Never interrupt the comics!)

I'm not saying I don't believe you, it's just--

[...Actually pretty damn disturbing once the full implications set in.]

So, what, the Initiative just snatched you up from the middle of collecting souls?
sidecar: (Yeah,about that...)

[personal profile] sidecar 2012-10-11 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
If you've got a whole team then I guess they can get along without you for a while, right?

[Or maybe the natural order of this guy's world could be completely thrown off.]
