[The feed picks up on Addy and Kia standing on Tsuzuki's desk, staring at the camera. Kia leans forward to peck at the keypad as Addy gnaws an inch in its wing. Words flash across the bottom of the screen like subtitles.]

MASTER HAS MISPLACED HIS TRENCH COAT IF ANYONE HAS SEEN A BLACK TRENCH COAT AROUND THE CASTLE TOWER PLEASE BRING IT TO ROOM NUMBER ONE ON THE MENS FLOOR THANK YOU

[Addy tilts its head at Kia's message. Leaning forward, Addy adds a line.]

MASTER REALLY LIKES THAT COAT AND IT HAS MOST OF HIS TALISMANS IN IT SO IF YOU COULD BRING IT BACK SOON HE MIGHT STOP RUNNING AROUND LIKE A WHITE RABBIT HEH

[Kia stares at Addy a moment before cutting the feed.]

[ooc: Tsuzuki will be replying to comments, but he won't know about the announcement. He's been in the recreation room practicing his piano piece, but someone picked up his coat when he went for a snack.]

That's part of the problem. I can't sense their home from here. If I can't do that, then I can't summon them to the World of the Living.

This place is shitty.

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's that bad. I've been in worse places actually.

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Why?

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Well... I don't feel like dying. Hm! It can actually be fun around here.

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

There are places better than shitholes or dying.

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

At least, you a roof over your head. You could be alone in the middle of nowhere with nothing. Here, you can conserve your strength, so you can fight another day, right?

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Roofs are overrated. I'd rather be free outside.

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

What about a table full of food? Is that over-rated?

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I can get my own food. I hunt.

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

There's no food in a wasteland, Ace. What then?

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Sure there is. There's always wild animals. There's even food in Trash Mountain.

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

A wasteland has nothing. It's not pleasant. I had to cross one once in Gensoukai to find a shikigami I wanted. I thought I was going to die... again.

[Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I could find a way.

Did you find the one you wanted?

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Actually, he burned my whole body from head to toe in acid and kicked me out...

[Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Whoa... why?

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

He claims to hate humans.

[Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Only claims?

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Well... I have reason to believe he doesn't.

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Why not?

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

When he rebelled against the Golden Emperor, he sacrificed everything to end his reign. When the Emperor turned his friend against him, he didn't have the heart to hurt his friend and was defeated. I think his heart is wounded, and he clings to his solitude to keep from getting hurt again.

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Then you should keep trying!

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I am, in my own way. I'm more interested in befriending him than subdoing him. I don't like to call myself a master of my shiki. They are the best friends I've ever had, almost like family...

Re: [Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Family?

Re: [Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I didn't have much family when I was your age, Ace. It was just my big sister and I in our village. Now that I don't have her anymore, I tried to treat my shikigami like friends, but I never thought we would as close as we are. We are a family, and we look out for one another.
