[ 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.

Looks like Reiji has gone home. I can't find her anywhere and her link's gone dead. Pretty funny, ain't it? I mean after all the wishing, the only people who leave are the support members. Managers, producers, backup...

I'm gonna miss her spying on me every minute of the day.

pure love, true love, get tonight!
chikatetsu no arai toki midasareru iki
faky, lonly, break tonight!
kudake sou na omoi daki kimi ni mukau
hajime no yokan wa tayorinai hodo fushizen ni
DOA ga tojite me ga atta

Hey Tohma! No fair in making the hospital staff keep us out!

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 ]

So I've been working on a whole bunch of songs with Tohma! It's been really cool and interesting and say, here's some lyrics!

Take apart my love through this silent pain.
Slowly melting within a collapsed star, forever entangled
Light sucking sound I draw closer forever connected in this endless void.
Your voice pressing deeper I cannot pull away...

Cool right? Well, I think it's cool. So it's cool!

OH! Souji! Hang in there and don't let the doctors poke at you too much!

Thanks to everyone that showed up at the bar the other night, I had fun and it was great to meet some new friends and old! I hope there weren't too many people getting sick the next day cuz that would just suck a lot. Anyways, I just want to thanks for the nice presents and well wishes and I hope that everyone enjoyed themselves.

I would like to say happy birthday to those also having one this month. It's a great month to get born in, I admit! Anyways, this goes out to a Mr. Wright and a couple others I don't quite remember their names but I really think that you should all have a good time too. Even if the alcohol here is a bit bitter.

Also, has anyone seen Kumagoro? He's a really bad bunny and stayed out all night last night and hasn't come home yet.

[ Ryuichi loves the video function of his communicator a lot, doesn't he? This time around, he is sitting on the edge of the stage at the High School auditorium, strumming his guitar. He's got a fuzzy pink jacket on over a worn shirt and his hair has been combed back into a sloppy ponytail. A few strands have escaped free and they curl against his cheeks. The communicator is pointed up at him, although the body of a guitar covers half of the view. After a few moments of strumming a few chords, he launches into an acoustic version of this song. That song morphs into another song before Ryuichi gets tired of that and sets the guitar down. Unfortunately for the viewing world, he sets it down on top of the communicator, but at least he didn't turn it off. ]

So another year older, huh? That makes it what? Same age as him? Older? No... younger. But still...

Winter marches on.

[ video ]

[ There's a soft giggle and a whispered 'Kumagoro! Bad bunny!' off camera. On camera is a very clear picture of a sleeping Tohma, a pile of furs under his head for a pillow and what appears to be a bright pink bunny suit draped over his body. There is also a stuffed bunny sitting on top of Tohma. ]

No jumping on him! We just got him to sleep!

[ 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. ]

You know Tetsu? Buddy? Dude? I think that if you're gonna have one of your friends staying here, he can help out a little bit, okay? And not just move all that stuff out of a room and pile it next to the fireplace either. ANYWAYS, what's his name?

OH! Tohma? I think you may get a couple requests from some guy wanting to hear classical stuff. He sounds a bit stuffy, so you two should get along just fine.

[ 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. ]

\end transmission

[ His voice sounds hoarse and raspy and lacking his usual cheer. ]

I'm... not in the mood any more. I don't care.

Is it me or is it getting colder? And what's with the not tv doing that stuff? I mean I almost fell out the window when it went live. Not that I would get hurt or anything being where I am but still... And I guess Thief-san is back doing his stuff. He just needs to stay away from me and mine and I'll not do anything back.

Sounds good?

OH! I almost forgot! Shuichi! I've got something for you!

[ voice | Japanese ]

He's dead.

\ end transmission


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

[ 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 | Japanese ]

I never really thought about the holidays that much. Usually it's so busy that they just end up another day with the added bonus of singing for free. But I guess that's what I am doing here, right? Singing for charity...

Anyways, I'm looking for this monk I know, goes by the name of Tatsuha. I've heard he's suppose to be staying with his brother but I bet that it's a little crowded considering he's got to hang around Shuichi and Eiri. Maybe I can take him for a walk, right? I bet that would be nice of me.

Oh! Tohma! I'm gonna see about getting a chalkboard. That way your paper is safe and I think a guitar would be nice too. I just need to say hi to the scientists people, right?

[ 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. ]

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...

[BZZZZZZZZZZT!]

[ voice | English ]

OW! It bit me! Why did it bit me? Did I shake it too hard? That's so uncool. Seriously uncool!

SO! I've got an awesome idea. A seriously awesome idea that we should've thought of before! We've got people who are sort of musicians even if there are a couple sillies... and lot of them are like posting stuff over these things, right? So why don't we like get together and have like a weekly show or something and play it over the air together. It would at least help those of us without instruments borrow some from the others without having to like use them to hit monsters when borrowing them or something stupid like that. It makes sense! We could do like a radio show or something!

It sounds cool in my head... So, what does everyone think?
