VIDEO ✿✿✿ 004

[nagachika]

[The video's going to start with the camera passing over the headlines of several newspaper clippings, the date pretty unclear to how the camera's moving, but the headlines come out pretty clear. 'Russian Kidnapping plots', 'Invaders within the City', 'COMRADE RED', etc.

It looks as if he's showing off a section of wall set up like someone's tracking something--and honestly, it's not far from the truth. After a second of silence, the Camera whips around to show the image of a bright blonde many of you might recognise. Despite the sour headlines, he's grinning madly.]

...Seriously? Brainwashing? Soviets invading?

I've been gone for what, a month, and I come back to this place recovering from Crisis mode?

I knew shit was getting bad when all those propoganda videos and clips hit the air months ago, but now this, all at once?
How long do we got until everything really goes to hell in a handbasket.


Also hey, what's up. Been gone for a while, huh. Sorry about that, guess something just wanted to drag me home for a while or something. My roomate's gone, and so're his pets. If any of you guys know where Maine--or Tank--has gone, give me a ring, yeah?

Hideyoshi, Out.

1/who knows

[enucleation]

[ .... Hide ]

[enucleation]

[ it's Hide, It's Hide ]

[enucleation]

[ NOT dead Hide ]



[ dead because of him by the way ]

[enucleation]

[ forever feeling guilty over that.

And Hide leaving meant he'd go back and then be dead and that was also a thing Kaneki had to deal with during this month. Plus the whole Soviets, Hinami getting brainwashed, his PTSD episode when they strapped him to a chair and zapped his brain again and again ]

[enucleation]

[ kaneki is totally fine. ]

[enucleation]

[ but let's forget about that.

Hide. It's Hide. ]

[ Video ] and done

[enucleation]

Where are you?

oh my god

[nagachika]

At my house. I just got here.

You were the first person I was gonna' call after this. Not surprised that you answered first.

[His expression is relieved--Kaneki was still here. But he's not too sure if the other was doing so well. There was a ... strange feeling to his response.]

Wanna come over?

[enucleation]

[ everything is fine Hide, can't you see? he is fine. ]

I do. [ his response is immediate, of course ]

Is it still the same place?

[nagachika]

[Were you hurt by the soviets? He's watching you carefully. So far so good, bud.]

Yeah, Same place.

It's empty as heck. Everyone else is gone.

[enucleation]

[ he hums, now on the move to head to Hide's place ]

Maybe you'll get new roomates with this new batch of imPorts.

[ he knows Hide likes the company. If Kaneki wasn't what he was and if Kaneki's place wasn't covered in cannibals, he would invite Hide to live with them - but he knows better than to ever make that questions. If he did, the other wouldn't be able to refuse and Kaneki doesn't want to put him through that. ]

I'll be there in a moment, Hide. [ he will have to turn off his communicator while he runs like a maniac. ]



[ ooc: action or log? ~~~ ]

[nagachika]

[Log]

voice

[bestsword]

[Oh shit someone asking about Maine that isn't from space hell. Awkward.]

Uh. Maine's gone, dude.

voice

[nagachika]

[The other end will be radio silence for a few seconds, but...]

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. [A small laugh, not as amused as he'd tried to make it sound.] Just my luck that he'd pop off while I was gone. [It's not a tired voice that's seemingly done with the world, so...]

Tucker, right?

[bestsword]

Yeah. We made the trip to Mexico with evacuees, disappeared as soon as we got back.

Yeah, you remembered.

[You know, the awkward marine who didn't actually know what to say for once at the Christmas party.

Man that night was awkward.]

You enjoying the quiet or do you want his pets back to keep some company?

[nagachika]

Got a good memory for voices. 'sides, we had a good time at Christmas, right?

[A house full of Space Marines, yeah, that could be described as a good time.]

I'm pretty awful at 'quiet' stuff, to be honest, haha. I was wondering where the critters went, though, to be honest.

If you're enjoyin' their company though, don't let me usurp them. I still got our colourful roomba here to make the house noisy.

[bestsword]

[NOPE GUESS WHO'S ALREADY PACKING CHARON AND OREO BACK UP. YOU'RE TAKING THEM, HIDE.]

Heh. Yeah, it was all right.

I didn't check, did they move anyone else in there with the new people coming in? Besides a roomba's only certain times of the day anyway.

[nagachika]

[AND HERE ONE THOUGHT THAT YOU ENJOYED CONTROLLED CHAOS, TUCKER.]

Nope. Me an' Tank've had a scattered extra roommate here and there sometimes, but no-one ever really stuck. And it looks like it's just me, this time around, unless someone else shows up.

And bite your tongue, Doraemon is good at all times of the day.

...

It thinks it's a cat. Even moreso than Charon sometimes.

[bestsword]

[NOT IN A TINY SPACE, OKAY. He thanks the world daily that Palomo isn't here to ruin it.]

What, you mean you let yours run all the time? Must wear it out real bad.

Oh good, you know Charon already, that'll solve some problems. Sucks about the roommate thing though.

[nagachika]

[Knock on wood or you might be in for a nasty surprise one day.]

We've had to replace the battery once, but I think it's a pretty even trade, given that it's fun to have him running around like that.

And hell yeah, I know Charon. She's a big sweet ball of fuzz. I'm kind of amazed you wanna give her back. [Nishishishi.]

AND THAT'S WHY CHARON'S HORRIBLE

[bestsword]

Wait--

You actually know Charon and like her?

The fuck.

SHE'S A DARLING AND A PRINCESS

[nagachika]

Yeah? She slept with me a lot at night.

Not to mention she's got a bad habit of taking control of my lap when I'm playing videogames.

[bestsword]

That is the least horrible of her bad habits.

That's downright adorable compared the shit me and Wash are dealing with.

[nagachika]

She's one of those cats who either loves you or hates you.

I guess you got unlucky, bud. I'm sorry to hear it. [And yet, he sounds amused.]

[bestsword]

Story of my life, dude.

[He's starting to think the only good luck he's gotten was deciding to take Wash with them from Sidewinder.]

Oh yeah, welcome back or whatever.

[nagachika]

Hey, it can't all be bad.

[Mr. Positive will be sure to remind you.]

And thanks. It's good to be back, honestly.
Even if Tank's not about, you and Mr. Panda Eyes Squeaky Voice are welcome over to my place anytime, yanno.

I'll need SOMEONE to cook for.

[bestsword]

[There's a beat of silence here before he utterly loses himself laughing.]

Holy shit--

That's-- Awesome, uh. We'll probably take you up on that.

[His other options of hanging out are Grif, Squeaky Angry Church, and Less Squeaky Angry Church. And Tex. No thanks.]

He's not so much Mr. Panda Eyes anymore at least, he's been getting more sleep lately.

VOICE

[worstever]

[Hide's -- well, Hide was a good friend to Maine. Wash feels like he should say something.]

... sorry. About Maine.

[But he isn't very good at saying things.]
