[VIDEO] ☠ Death is always adorable.

[nightprince]

[ The feed turns on, and a teenage boy with a long yellow scarf, suspenders, and black hair shows up. He seems pensive, and appears to be holding a plush of a certain Frost in his arms. ]

First things first. Ladies, it's your lucky day: Ryoji Mochizuki has arrived, and he has a totally free schedule. Nice to meet you. I'll be happy if you can all show me the ropes~

[ A wink and a grin; now a bit more serious, but still smiling, he presses onward. ]

Secondly! I'm curious about Vatheon. Like... how long I'll be here, and stuff... I know, I've heard there's no way out, but maybe that's being too pessimistic? It can't hurt to ask, right? And do you guys think you can tell me more about it... the ones who have been here longer, I mean. I've heard some stuff, and it's... definitely not an amusement park like I thought, haha! But I'd like to get to know everyone here, that aside. So, let's chat!

Or we can meet up in person! I'm in the Middle District, outside one of the cafés! Don't be a stranger.

[ A smile, and the feed cuts. He's not showing it, but he is actually extremely concerned. ]

(( For the curious, feel free to reply with ACTION to this and troll him and wonder why his mere presence invokes terror and feels like DEAAAATH let him chat you girls up talk to him~ ))

... You don't understand a thing, do you? I think...

[ He just... smiles sadly. ]

You're just reckless about it because you think you're so close that it doesn't matter. I think the question is if you're forgetting to live or not... and I don't think you are. And... that makes me sad. You should live for all it's worth.

My! How curious~

[He laughs, utterly amused.]

A soft-hearted death? Sir Death, I imagine that must make things quite dif-fi-cult.

Though it is all suddenly so very clear! How difficult must it be to realize that what else awaits your dearest of friends but death--

And if you did not exist, why...that likely would not be so, now would it?

[derparcana.livejournal.com]

... I have a name, you know...

[ He sighs. ]

Everyone dies. That's life. If it was just that... I wouldn't be bothered. Life... cannot flow without death. Just like without darkness, there can't be light. It's a fact that cannot be changed. ... Nothing can.

Not for you, either. So... why don't you want to live every day to the fullest? You should have fun while you still can. You're not in a good position, you know...? Especially not next to me. Right now is fine, but...

[The mocking undertone seems to have disappeared, and yet...the hint of seriousness to his words seems to make them all the worse.

His expression is not unamused. Nor is is annoyed. It is, in the purest sense, stoic.

Blank.

Serious.]

You are an anomaly. So certain of the necessity, and yet so thoroughly ashamed of such a thing. What have you done that you feel the need to hide that which you yourself have described as necessary?

To place the blame upon necessity does not relieve yourself of your own actions, even if said action is merely being.

And thus I shall ask--

[2/2]

[sophistly.livejournal.com]

[And then a razor-sharp smirk, appearing instantly.]

Are you ashamed, Sir Death?

[derparcana.livejournal.com]

... Maybe I am an anomaly. I... I'm not even sure I exist.

[ An even breath. In, then out. He is breathing. ]

And maybe I am ashamed. But... you could never possibly understand. There's nothing I can change. ... I will kill them.

[ ... The tears, why--he's... he's not upset, is he? His tone is even, and his voice... a little shaky, but steady for the most part. Yet they come anyway; he can't stop it. ]

The inevitable... don't you people understand how precious life truly is...? Why won't you cherish it...? It... it makes her so sad...

[1/2]

[sophistly.livejournal.com]

[...He tilts his head, nodding slightly.]

You cannot, you cannot, you cannot. You are incapable, and thus you shall kill them without the ability to do otherwise.

For you are incapable of changing the future.

[A curious pause; he considers this.]

[2/2]

[And then a bright smile--which considering the other's tears and everything, feels even more out of place.]

I see! You have very thoroughly answered my question, and thus~

There is little more to say.

[Yes, he basically just ignored that entire last part. Life...is not life for him, merely borrowed time.

And then? ...He walks away. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Cane on cobblestone, and he is gone.]

[ Sipping his soda kind of mournfully, as Break leaves, Ryoji makes a personal note to himself:

If he is still around here long enough and in control of himself... before he can get Minato to kill him... maybe he will ask Minato to help change this man. He obviously needs it.

Or... or maybe, he could do it himself. ]

... You're hurting too, aren't you...?
