[Accidental Video] ☠ A shadow fades in bright light.


[ Ryoji hadn't noticed, but when he sat down on his bed, he accidentally turned his SFC on. Currently? The screen shows the little thought bubble following him around. His thoughts are vague, to an extent, at the moment, but what you'll notice is that the inside of the bubble is darker in color than most. Sort of like there's a little black mist inside it. The text on it is white. White, on black.

He's pacing in his dorm room at the moment. It's late, and he can't sleep. ]


He left.

[ A pause, a blink. A nod. It was reflecting his thoughts, huh? Yeah. But it wasn't really so bad... was it? An image of Minato--blue hair--comes up, then disappears. ]

It's my fault.

... I know.

[ Then an image of what looks like the moon, and then something big... with two sets wings, and a long sword. It's vague though, and it's hard to tell what it really is. It's only somewhat humanoid in shape. ]

Fighting it is... impossible. Maybe one day I'll just...

That won't happen...

[ This thought is a little more graphic. An image of some kids all wearing red armbands, being consumed by some sort of darkness, and then a hollow-looking, creepy white mask, eyeless, and smiling. And then lots of red blood. It flashes back as he shakes his head. ]

But how can it not, right?

I... I won't do that.

But I will. And then how will anyone stop me? You can't stop something like me. That's impossible.

It's... he did it. He still managed... it's okay. He's back now.

[ He takes a breath, getting up, and turns his back, trying to ignore that pestering, persistent, awful little bubble. He doesn't think it's so cool anymore. ]

But what if I do slip? What if they're wrong about how time passes? What then?

[ He falls silent. His biggest fears, and it was very, very right. He doesn't want to say it though. ]

I don't want to kill them. I don't want to hurt anyone. Vriska, Minato--I'm part of him but I took his life from him... because of me, his friends will never get to be with him at home. I really don't deserve to be a human, or even to feel. I never should have existed.

I... I really don't like this place right now... why does this have to happen to us? I hate these curses.

[ Eventually, Ryoji rests his head against a wall, closing his eyes, and biting his lip. The words keep going, though. Because he is, in fact, quite worried. ]

But blaming Vatheon isn't right. You wanted him to kill you because you're afraid, aren't you?

T-that isn't true. I've accepted it. It's inevitable.

[ The bubble continues heedlessly on, and Ryoji looks down at it with a defeated, pained expression. ] Without him, you don't even exist. Vriska, too! She validates your existence, but then when you're alone, what are you really? Just a shadow. A tool. Nyx's puppet. And then you don't even feel like you're real.

T-that's not true... I'm... I'm Ryoji. No one else. And I will never, ever be anything else. Minato-kun said so.

[ ... Ryoji tries to pop it as it continues on, but to no avail. After he tries to half-heartedly swat it away, he fails. So he instead returns to leaning his head against the dorm's wall, and then the feed cuts abruptly as a kitten hops onto the bed, and accidentally shuts the SFC off. ]

*Faye has been watching, and apparently has been quite amused*

Hey, kid. You should cover that thing up...

[Action?] Welp

[The moment he sees the video, he of course does what is necessary: he walks over to Ryoji's room, no matter the late hour, and knocks.]

Ryoji-kun?

[The thought bubble, trailing after him, has his own worries-- 'I hope he's okay' 'he shouldn't blame himself' 'this isn't fair' -- intermixed with his Personas -- 'death death fortune death Arcana'.

But he's adept at ignoring those voices in his head these days, and so he simply waits for the other to open the door.]

...

[There's a lot of troubled souls here. Lots of very sad kids.

Ammy whines a bit, worried.]

[ That's not true at all, but you can't help but not tell her, right? Keep lying.

Silently thanking god she used text. Though he's a little... embarrassed she saw that. Oh well. ]


[Action foreverrrr] YEEEP

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
... Just ignore it, Minato-kun. It's stupid.

[ Floating there going on and on. Worry after worry. ]

But I don't want you to. What if I...

[ ARGH TRAITOR. ]

... Really, it's fine.

[Text] Lmao sorry Faye, he's not going to talk to strangers well

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Great. GREAT. He didn't even know-- ]



[ LET'S IGNORE THIS THING? Yes. ]
messianic: (Default)

[personal profile] messianic 2011-05-10 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[His own thoughts are quiet, a stream of quiet murmurings in them that are too faint to read.

It isn't like him to confront, but sometimes-- 'Enough is enough']


No it isn't. Can I come in?

[text] Heheh. She figures :P

[identity profile] myfayevalentine.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...that's good. Don't wanna make yourself look vulnerable.

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Awww, doggy. How could he ignore her? Stupid accidental feed.

An image of this cute guy (http://i.imgur.com/RYxrb.png) pops up in the bubble. Ammy totally reminds him of Koromaru. ]


Ah? Hey there. Sorry, did I worry you? I'm alright.

[Video]

[identity profile] colorme-in.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryoji...are you okay?

[An image of her gets drawn in her bubble, a sweet one with her comforting the poory boy. She doesn't want to see you sad. ;_;]

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Yeah.

[ He tries to just... clear his thoughts. For now, the bubble goes silent. ]

[Switching to Text] Oh Namine ;_;

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ALKJHSKJHG. He hurriedly switches to text on his end. ]

messianic: (Tending to pleasure or to pain:-)

[personal profile] messianic 2011-05-10 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[So he does so, walking in and shutting the door quietly behind him, the thought bubble still filled with thoughts that are just a tad bit too quiet.]

I'm sorry for never asking this before. But...I'd like to know.

...Ryoji, what do you really think?

[And thoughts in his own, drifting-- 'About yourself' 'about shadows' 'about Nyx' 'about you']

[Action]

[identity profile] chivalrygrudge.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't really understand what Ryoji is talking about, but he's one of Minato's friends, and a dormmate, so he knocks on Ryoji's door.]

... Ryoji-senpai?

[text] lmao. that being the case. Sorry, Faye.

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)


[ USER HAS SIGNED OFF. Sorry, Faye. He really isn't sure he can deal with strangers right now. ]

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... His thought bubble seems to answer that well enough. He swats it away so Minato can't see it, though. ]

You... know what I think. I've accepted it. It is what it is.

[ But it just comes back, floating around him. ]

I don't want to worry him. He deserves better.

[ SWAT. ]
messianic: (Which was its perfect darkness.)

[personal profile] messianic 2011-05-10 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[This receives an arched eyebrow and a solemn look.]

Do you know what I want?

I want to hear what's bothering you. ...I want you to talk with me.

[His thoughts reflect that, completely honestly.]

[Action] Minato may threadjack this, probably.

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Oh, god. Ken. He's from before, he can't know this stuff-- ]

O-oh! Ken-kun.

[ What does he say? ]

It's not a big deal, so please ignore it, okay? You don't need to worry about me.

[ He's not... opening the door just yet. He's a little worried about Ken finding out. ]

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... He sighs, then looks at Minato... opens his mouth, then sighs again. ]

I don't...

It isn't fair of me. What he did was right. Why make him feel worse?

[ ... Another sigh. ]

Look, it's... not important.

Why are you being so persistent? I don't deserve to be cared about.

[ SWATTING IT. >: ]
messianic: (And the act)

[personal profile] messianic 2011-05-10 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[...hmm. His thoughts are mercifully quiet.]

Please don't tell me what to think, Ryoji-kun. Even if it's simply your thoughts.

...Everyone deserves to be cared about. And I'm afraid you're stuck with me.

[A few faint, but readable thoughts. 'Psyche' and then 'other half' and then, most prominent 'Ryoji'.]

[Action] Fine with me! o7

[identity profile] chivalrygrudge.livejournal.com 2011-05-11 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
... Are you all right?

[He's kind of worried about you now, in his tsuntsun way.]

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-11 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
M-Minato...

[ And he concentrates very, very hard. ]

Can we please not do this? This is really stupid.

[ That's better. ]

A-and I'm not telling you what to think. I'm sorry.

You wouldn't even know anyway, if you weren't here. I hope he isn't mad.

[ ... Irritatedly trying to pop it now. Except thankfully the kitten takes an interest in it, attempting to pounce on the bubble. ]
messianic: (Illusion! Underneath there lies)

[personal profile] messianic 2011-05-11 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[His thought bubble starts to be a reflection of his own thoughts more, some of which are a reflection of Ryoji's as he takes them in. 'Stupid', 'wouldn't even know' and then-- 'that's right. I should've noticed before.' But there's no self-loathing there. Just a quiet acceptance.]

Please don't apologize. I just...wish you'd be honest with me. Why are you hiding things?

[identity profile] derparcana.livejournal.com 2011-05-11 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not hiding anything. You know the truth. How is that hiding something when you... already know everything that will happen?

[ A faint swirl of words in his bubble. ]

You know what he means, though.

Shut up.
