[The new year is usually a time where everyone can relax from their hard work over the holidays. It should be a time where friends hang out and have fun. It definitely should be Nike’s favorite way of beginning the new year, but… it wasn’t. A new network post will begin with a close up of her face that has a very forced smile, one that almost yelled ‘she was going to eat someone alive in less than a minute’. It becomes even more clear the moment she begins to speak in an exasperated voice.]

Happy new year, everyone. I know I should’ve asked this before, but I never thought I’d need to do this. [And what could it be? It won’t be long until she answers.] A new year’s resolution. I heard about them. I made a few. Like for one, I will try to be more patient and not do anything too drastic, but…

[Of all the things to be done towards him, Kagami never expected this. His hands and legs all tied up in rope. Try as he might, he can’t even make a Corridor with the way his hands are bound, so there was no escaping his predicament. All he could do is sit on the couch with a very pissed off expression and make snarky remarks at her.]

Oh yeah, because this isn’t drastic. [His eyes then roll back.] I take you to Vegas and you treat me like this.

Be quiet, you! This wouldn’t be an issue if you just behaved! Who in their right mind punches someone for no good reason!?

I punched a tree in your backyard! It’s not like I hurt anyone!

But you almost hurt Sorey! That’s bad enough! [No, really, she is definitely upset he hurt the tree in their backyard. Not just that, but her bird and squirrel feeders too. Soon returning her attention to the network, she’ll decide to get back on track.] As you can see, this kid clearly needs some new playmates.

But I didn’t! So shut up! [Now he’s glaring very hard and looks ready to beat the living daylights out of her.] I don’t want friends. I’ll get you back for all of this too, just you wait.

[Before he gets another word in, Nike will nonchalantly wrap a white cloth around his mouth.]

Hush, baby face! I’m not done yet. [Back to the network she goes.] If anyone wants to come over and help him burn off some energy, please do. Whoever comes over, I promise to reward you with all the rice crispy treats I’ll be baking. Just. Please. Be his friend and take him out! Please!!!

[Kagami is far from happy at this point being tied and gagged. So while Nike is talking to the network and pleading, he attempts to flee by wiggling his way off the couch. Yet instead of getting anywhere, he falls right off the side said couch with a loud thump which can be heard/seen in the background if people pay enough attention.]

O-Oh? Ah! [There will be a moment of amazement until she decides to point the camera towards him, everyone will now notice he is on the floor. ] Amazing. It’s pretty amazing that you’re still able to move. I’ll help you in a minute. [By minute, she means after she is done talking. With a shake of her head, she’ll return the communicator’s attention to her.] As you can see, he’ll be a very good friend to play all types of games with. That is, if you can even get him tied up It took me a few hours to. If you’re not interested in being his friend, then advice on helping him find some will be much appreciated too. So thanks for your time, and hopefully you’ll consider adding Kagami to your new year’s resolution.

[And that’s when the feed ends.]

[ Sometimes. Sometimes the network is endless comedy. Also possibly evidence admissible in the court of law.

Rarely both. ]

Have you considered the advantages of therapy first?

Thank you for being so concerned about my brother, Nike.

[ Oh. So she's crazy, that's definitely new information. ]

It seems to me that the best candidate for a new friend would be whoever cuts the rope.

[Komasan has several concerns.]

I-Is this how you treat your friends... z-zura...?

Nike, for Charter's sake, what are you doing?

[Guess who's back... and honestly kind of worried.]

Therapy to help him make friends?

[She hasn't really considered it. After all...]

Would it actually work though? I mean, I was one. And I don't remember having to help anyone in that way.

Why, you are very welcome, Riku. It's always a pleasure to help you out every once in a while.

[With that being said.]

How do you plan on repaying me for my time and efforts, hm?

[And thread carefully, she may or may not be considering on doing the same or worse to him.]

There's an idea on finding just the right friends for him.

[Crazy or possibly the best way to weed out the bad seeds in friendship for him? She feels he definitely needs more positive role models. Will he find one in Kanaya?]

Are you thinking of doing the honors, Kanaya?

If there are issues, such as what seems to be a particular temper, there's ways to work through that with help.

[ Lightly, almost breezily, they add: ]

Though I had meant both of you.

Only to those who misbehave, I do.

[He almost tried to hurt one of her other friends without any reason to. Not only that he destroyed her lava cake, her bird and squirrel feeder, and hurt a perfectly good tree. What else was she suppose to do?]

What do you think would be a good way to punish someone for bad deeds?

Edited 2017-01-05 01:05 (UTC)

[That keyword and voice was very familiar. Could it be? Nike will look at the video and instantly perk up upon seeing one of her friends.]

Sabriel!! It really is you! I haven't heard from you in so long. I really missed you! Where have you been all this time?

[Forget about Kagami. He is the least of her problems at the moment.]

Nike, what are you do--K-Kagami......?

[Stares.

Wait for it.

Yup. He's just gonna burst into a fit of laughter at this because. Wow. This is priceless. Ignoring that Shinoa could well have reached this point of desperation with him if he hadn't warmed more to her and Yoichi and the others as much as he did as quickly.]

[Oh gosh, dishing out the hard questions here... Komasan's never had to punish someone before, he's honestly not sure.]

Take away their dessert, zura?

Oh, right. You mean therapy to help him in a more personal level. I guess it may be a good idea to do that. He really does rely heavily on his impulses than thinking things through.

[Says the one who tied and gagged someone a few minutes ago, and doesn't realize it isn't a very normal response neither. There may be a light, curious tilt as she wonders.]

Both of us? Why? Do you think it'll help him feel more incline to go see someone?

Is.

Is there anything I can do to help...?

[Ooooh boy. Mika can't help but wonder how he must have pissed her off.]

Do you help all your... friends this way?

The thought's certainly crossed my mind. Someone ought to spare him.

[ Sorry Nike, even though Kanaya can be pretty controlling and overbearing herself, this is a bit too far. ]

I was 'Ported out!

Now, where are you? [Because clearly, she needs to go untie Kagami.]

[ They lift a finger. ......... And decide to just lie, instead. ]

There is something to be said for solidarity. And you've shown a deep interest in his well being, after all.

[A small grin will appear as she watches Yuu find amusement in her little project.]

Isn't it obvious? I'm searching for someone to hang out with him. I thought, this may be the best way to.

[It wasn't a complete lie. Actually there was more to it, but decided to not talk about it so freely especially in front of Kagami.]

Trying to get him to open up might be a good start. Lately he's been...a lot more distant than usual.

[And to be fair, she's a little concern about it. If not, more than she's currently saying.]

Do you know anything about it? About why he doesn't want to return home with you guys?

Uh... By "take him out," do you mean, like, for dinner? Or to the park?

Or do you mean, like... You're trying to persuade somebody to come knock him out?

Edited 2017-01-05 04:33 (UTC)

Want me to take him to the arcade or the movies or spar with him or something?

[Once he actually catches his breath again from laughing so much. Sorry Kagami, but honestly.

And yes this is directed to Nike and not Kagami himself. If only because it seems like the other can't really answer at the moment....]

Only in extreme cases I do.

[All said without a second thought. It was true she was overwhelmed with Kagami's ill-mannered behavior, but even she knew it was sorta needed, no matter how extreme.]

In this case though, I do admit I may have slipped my hand a bit, but...I wasn't kidding in wanting him to go out and make some friends though. It'll be good for him to.

Oh dear! Please be careful, Kagami-san, those look like well-tied knots. [She smiles, even though this seems like QUITE A STRANGE WAY to help a friend...] Playing games is a good suggestion, Nike-san, though I'll have to think about which.

Charades seems like it's out of the question, for one.
