[ Ryuichi is bored and Tohma-less. He could go do something productive, like build a new hospital or play poker with the boys, but instead, Ryuichi has decided to sing a couple songs. For your listening pleasure, the first song is Predilection and the second one is Gather Roses. When he gets done singing both songs, Ryuichi, looks at the communicator and sticks his tongue out. ]

I'm done so there.

Umm... what just happened? I had this huge headache and everything and now I'm in a closet. A full closet of smelly stuff... Oh wait, I think I'm a hospital closet. Why am I in this closet and not in one back home?

Hey, is everyone out there still? I'm not hiding in here because of a huge zombie attack, right?



[ ooc; Ryuichi will pretend he doesn't remember getting two personas like he did. He doesn't want people to remember that at all. ]

[ voice | Japanese ]

[ Ryuichi always had an ear for music and noise of any kind. Given the fact that he worked in the music industry and can pick up on clues hidden in a voice, it was no surprise that he heard something in that scream earlier today. But Ryuichi wasn't going to comment on that. No, he had something far more important to say.

Rather, BOTH of him had something important to say. ]

Hey scientists! Stop screwing around! I don't want him around me!

Stop that! It hurts!

Then stop being an idiot!

I'm not the idiot here!

[ Why yes, it sounded like there were two voices, one younger but with the same slur to his Japanese as Ryuichi's voice. And there was also a crash and a couple grunts and a sniffle. ]

You're just scared. You're always scared. Why can't you just stop being so selfish?

Get him the fuck out of here!

[ Sounds of more struggling and something else breaking. Then the feed clicks off. ]



[ooc; Okay, remember that Gravitation has some really weird plots, right? Well, to make a long story short, Ryuichi's two personalities have split apart so during this event we will see a younger, sweeter Ryu-chan and the older, nastier Ryuuichi running around. Seperately. Also Ryu-chan is in purple and Ryuuichi is normal test. ]

[ voice | Japanese ]

In the end, does it really matter? Love, hope, dreams, wants, needs, fears, lies, happiness, sadness, and death? Does it matter?

Should I care?

Do I care?

I don't know any more.

[ voice | Japanese ]

Spring rain:
telling stories,
a straw coat and umbrella walk past...

I call myself a man of spirit,
but on this journey,
grass for a pillow,
my thoughts keep going back-


Not exactly what I was looking for...

I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!

I think so too... Tohma? You are important. Don't forget it.

So they just take them without warning, huh? How not clever of those guys. I wonder if they know what they're doing or if they just like playing god?

I guess this means I have to keep a close eye on them.

So, Tetsu, what are you doing? Wanna go with me to look for some food?

[ At first his voice sounds a lot like a little child's - lost, confused and hurting. But his voice grows louder and louder until he is screaming the words at the top of considerable singer's lungs. This is taking place outside, in the snow and if anyone is willing to investigate, they will find Ryuichi with blood on his hands and his outer clothing and two bodies in the snow with him. ]

You've got to be kidding me, right? It's nothing more than a joke. Just a joke and I just can't see it... Mika? Please tell me I'm right. Please?

[...]

YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME, RIGHT?



[ ooc; Taking place after this as of yet unfinished log. Long story short, Popple injures and kills Mika and Ryu has a psycho moment and kills Popple. COMMENTLOGS are welcomed~ ]

[ video ]

[ Yes, it might be cold and snowing and all crazy outside, but Ryuichi is not a man to let such little things like the elements, wild animals, and not having enough food to keep him inside his apartment. Maybe driven by his own inner problems, or by an insane need to sing, he left the warmth of the large shared bed in his apartment, and went across the frozen tundra that was a city and into the High School.

The video opens up to show the singer at an angle, his features gaunter than normal and his hair a wild tumble of half-dried wisps against his pale skin. He is playing around with Tohma's prized synthesizer, his usual companion of a pink rabbit no where in sight. After a few moments, he flicked a couple switches, starting a drum track and a simple loop of four keys. Then spreading his fingers over the keys, he plays and sings this song. Once done, he shuts everything off and just stares at the communicator. ]

It's not that hard, is it?

[ Reaching over, he covers the camera with something bright pink and fuzzy and patterned with several neat stitches. ]

[ voice | Japanese ]

HEY! Doctors! I need a hand here!

[ Why yes, there is a Ryuichi in the hospital -AGAIN- but this time he does not look like he is doing any bunny tosses. Instead, he looks a bit worried and mad. ]

It's important!

[ He repeats himself in English and then goes to make sure Mika and Tohma are doing alright for now. ]

[ voice | Japanese ]

He's dead.

[ooc; This is posted just after this post.]

[ action ]

[ Ryuichi is sitting on the edge of the high school auditorium's stage, beating his feet against the wood while strumming a guitar. If he has noticed that there were branches of mistletoe all around him, he doesn't show it. Instead, he seems far more interested in his guitar, and after a few starts, he starts to sing this song. ]

The mistletoe hung in the castle hall,
The holly branch shone on the old oak wall;
And the baron's retainers were blithe and gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday.
The baron beheld with a father's pride
His beautiful child, young Lovell's bride.
While she with her bright eyes seemed to be
The star of the goodly company.
Oh, the mistletoe bough,
Oh, the mistletoe bough.

( more of the song here )

[ After he finishes that song, he puts the guitar down and stretches, looking up. ]

Well, I guess I'm surrounded. They must have been really good ninjas to sneak so much mistletoe around me.


[OOC: Okay, so anyone in the high school or who just wanders on in can interact with Ryuichi. Otherwise he will respond in voice for everyone else. ]

[ voice | Japanese ]

I had a lot of fun, Tatsuha! Thanks for all your help! I'm sorry I dropped that last bag on your foot though, but the bat thingies were being really mean about my hair. OH! And are we on for moving a few things from that one apartment? I think we can really use a different table and it's too much just for me to carry all by myself. Anyone else want to help out? I promise I won't drop anything else on people's feet!

Umm, scientist guys? I would like to have a chalkboard and some chalk and maybe a guitar? That way I'm not always wasting paper that should be used for more important things.

Tohma! I finished the song! Let's find a piano and play out the harmony!

[ voice | English ]

I guess what they say is true. Talent can be found in the weirdest places. Thanks again everyone that came to our little talent search. If anyone is still interested in joining us, please inform myself or Tohma about your interest. We're still on the look out for people who can manage those with more talent than common sense. Because rock and rollers don't always know what's best for them, and managers do! Even if it includes getting the star up at five in the morning using a bazooka smack to the head!

So anyways, if you need a listening to or a showing off, just leave one of us a message, and we'll arrange a face-to-face cuz those work better than over the communicator thing. Also! Newly arrived and still a performer of some kind? Give me a jingle here and I'll get Tohma involved.

Thanks for listening!

[ He repeats it in Japanese before signing off. ]

Oooh, are you all fans? I'm sorry I don't have paper to give you but I can sign stuffs if you got markers.

Anyone have a request? I'm dying of boredom here and no one has blown up a building or tried kidnapping Shuichi and myself and there's no American manager waving guns around or any keyboardist being his fluffy evil self to keep me occupied.

How many people are doing a band thing here? I haven't heard or seen one around, though I have heard a couple people over these fake phones doing stuff like that. Wasn't this place suppose to have one? I was just wondering...
