exsilium | video

[Nothing like a rude awakening at 2:30 in the morning, right? Well, you're in for a treat fellow refugees. It seems like one just flew over the cuckoos nest. Not that you can tell initially. At first this just looks like some inconsiderate kid with rings under his eyes and messy hair, breathing down the camera lens a little too up close and personal.]

Yo. If we haven't met yet, hello. I'm Yosuke. But...but if you're new, you should count to three and then stop listening. Okay? One, two...three. Alright, go away. It's for your own good.

[For emphasis, he clicks the lamp beside him off, and the video goes dark. Nothing to see here, apparently.]

Listen. Guys. I'm curious what people do here for fun. Because uh-look. I've tried sleeping, and training, and then I tried going outside. And talking to the people in the market, and you know. Looking for animals. And I found some, but they were really creepy and mutated. You know? So it's impossible to forget this place is so...

[The light comes back on with a soft click. The phone-roll-up is on the bed table now. Yosuke smiles down at it tightly, and shrugs. Then something thumps in the other room and he jumps at least a foot, gesturing wildly and knocking the device off the table. Someone get the kid some decaf.

He hangs over the side of the bed and gazes at the mobile, his image now fractured like a kaleidoscope, and gives a rather put-upon sigh for a guy who was just trying so hard to be personable.]

Damn it. I'm cracked...

I dunno...maybe try getting a job somewhere?

Hhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

[Ther's a loud 'whoomf' sort of sound and he faceplants dramatically onto the bed here. What part of bored and desperate are you not hearing, old man?]

At this time of night? Do you think something's open?

[And then, with a loud snap of the fingers:]

I can work in the clinic with you.

[QUIET HE IS ONLY TWENTY-TWO YOU BRAT]

What? No!

[He is not Yosuke's entertainment!!]

I meant go find one later so you don't keep being bored!

[Lala can't hear you.]

But it's open right now, isn't it? Hey...hey, listen. Listen, if you let me help for an hour I'll let you shoot me up with a sedative. How about that? It's a fair trade, right? You get to practice healing and I get to learn a cool trick first. That sounds good, right?

[...]

I really don't think I'm allowed to sedate you like that. Or let someone work in the clinic without the bosses' permission.

Aw come on, I'm not going to tell him. And I don't mind! You can say I was unruly.

No.

Fine, I won't touch anything. Not even papers. I'll just practice making wind.

[uuuuugh]

Wind makes a mess- can't you practice that in your room?

Don't worry, this time I'll be more careful. Master.

-- Master??

[He is so used to that being a name for nobles, that he is doubletaking and wondering if this kid found out something]

Oh. Are you not a master yet? Hmm.

[As usual, it's more of a cultural miscommunication. But he likes to think he's cut out for detective work, personally.]

Well...I guess it's alright. You still know more than I do. We'll just have to stick with teacher instead.

Oh...of my skills. No, I told you I hadn't mastered them yet!

What else would it mean? Anyway, I was kind of sleepy that day at the clinic. And the other time someone hit me with something!

Nothing, nevermind.

Yeah, you seem to have a penchant for getting hurt.

It doesn't count in battle!

[Topic: effectively skirted for now.]

[Mwhahaha excellent]

Then what about the time you hurt yourself with the kunai? Or when you tripped when you were in that girl's body?

Pretty sure those weren't battles!

I keep telling you, it was dark! No one can see in the dark!

[Huff!]

And lets see you trying to walk in a skirt and heels. It's not as easy as they make it look.

Uh huh.

Accident prone.

[There's definitely some truth to that, so naturally he's offended.]

That's not even a real condition.

Nah, but it's a state of being!

[SIGH.]

I just need more practice! Don't be so discouraging.

'Accident prone' is discouraging?

When it's a 'state of being' it is.

Nah, not really. It's not like that stuff happened with your powers.
