#028 - [VIDEO/AUDIO]

[amethystsregret]

[A gollem picks up on Tsuzuki, running and flying about in the training rooms. He's not training Finders right now. He has a glowing whip in his hand, thrashing at some interesting targets. Each target is a glowing ball of purple light. Some move slowly while others dart apart. When they are struck with the whip, the light goes out at a talisman falls to the ground in their place. He looks focused and serious. Once all of the slower ones are gone, the faster ones remain. As he snaps his whip at them, he growls.]

Why...?! Why am I still here?! Why can't I go back?!

[Coming to a halt, he cracks his whip about him. The whip grows in length, whirling about him like a ribbon of lavender light. Most of the targets are caught in the attack, even the gollem that goes flying as the feed dies.]

[[ooc: Tsuzuki has realized that people are disappearing, and Reever's accidental feed confirmed that. He's frustrated because he's been here so long, and things are going sour back home. He decided to train, like his friends have done in similar moments. He doesn't know that he was been recorded or that the gollem got smashed. Sorry about the gollem, Reever!]]

[Kazehana was taken by surprise by the sudden sound of something being destroyed. She watched the feed, and since she was near, she decided that it'd be a good idea to check what happened. When she arrived, she recognized the person there.]

Tsuzuki-San!

Hearing his name that way, the shinigami turned about, pausing in his attack. There was a familiar face. A new one, yet, she was familiar. He evened his breathing, so he wouldn't look as intimidating as he already did with a glowing whip of spiritual power in his right hand.

"Did I hit you...? I apologize if I did..."

[She quickly shaked her head at his question, moving closer to see if he was all right or anything similar. Intimidating? She doesn't find it intimidating, but she's not a normal girl.]

You didn't, so don't worry. Are you all right...?

"Just a little frustrated..." Tsuzuki sighed with relief. He hated hurting people because of his thoughtlessness. He looked down at the weapon in his hand, gripping it. She was a new comer to this world. He could only hope she didn't snap like this... "I'm find other that that... Thank you for asking..."

Tsu-TSUZUKI!

[He stares down at communicator that fell out of his pocket on the floor. He looks upset, but once he realizes who it is, he gapes and tries to calm down. He's out of breath.]

Shuuichi...?

[Video]

[singerinpink.livejournal.com]

Yes. [His eyes are full of worry.] What's wrong, Tsuzuki?

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

[Tsuzuki's eyes soften even more. He couldn't stay rough with Shuuichi. There was just no will power in him to pull it off. He slumped to the ground, staring at the camera.]

So many people have left... So many people are still coming... It's been over six months... What keeps us here and what takes us...?

[Video]

[singerinpink.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew the answer, Tsuzuki. [He hugs his legs, he's sitting on his bed.] I miss home too. I wanna hang out with Hiro and be scowled by Fujisaki and eat Maiko's food and... be kissed by Yuki.

But... if they're leaving, that's good news, right? Means the problem will be solved soon. I'll miss them though.

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I hope the problem can be fixed... but... will I be able to let this world go when I return...?

[Video]

[singerinpink.livejournal.com]

Would we keep our memories...? [Thinks and smiles a sad smile.] I want to remember Tsuzuki, even if it means I'm going to miss him a lot.

Duo whistles at the display of power. "Someone is cranky today."

[Action]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Tsuzuki whirled about to glare at the voice. it was just Duo, so he gaped at tried to calm down. He couldn't help feeling slightly irked by the 'cranky' line, but he was a friend; he didn't want to frighten friends away.

"Frustrated..." He gasped, being out of breath from that last attack, "I didn't know... what else to do..."

"I'd offer sparrin' to deal with that frustration, but I don't think I'd be match for ya." He walked to the center of the room with his hands behind his head, looking up at the flying Tsuzuki. Lucky bastard!

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

"I thought it might help... but it only made my blood rush more..." Tsuzuki grunted, landing on the ground. He stared at the whip in his hand. Duo had been right about not being a match, at least right now. He could feel his spirit still throbbing with that strange feeling that he could only compare to adrenaline. It was a dangerous thing... "I don't see how you get relief from it...

[Action]

[gpilot02.livejournal.com]

"My blood is already rushin' when I get frustrated." He said with a shrug, and started walking toward Tsuzuki. "I rely too much on my instints. When I'm angry or frustrated, I need to punch or shoot somethin'."

"I see..." He didn't look up. He didn't feel any better than when he'd started this exercise. All the talisman target had been brought down, and he was feeling more stressed out. "Instincts, huh...? I shouldn't rely on mine... They only get me into more messes..."

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Tsuzuki.

Where would your shiki go without you? [Actually sounds quite angry and hurt.]

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

[From where the communicator fell, Ace can see Tsuzuki gaping ahead of him. He heard that voice clear as a bell ringing from a church tower. He thinks the feed is just audio, so he replies staring away from the camera. He sounds like he just might cry.]

Ace... I'd take you both with me in a heartbeat... Gods know I need your help back home...!

[Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

You better.

I can't always succeed, but I do at least try to keep my promises. [He's grinning, but the hat's ducked low over his eyes again.]

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Me too... [He gasps as he grips the whip in his hand. He furrows his brow, fighting the urge to cry.] Do you think... Do you think that... back home... things are still moving forward...? Could they have... somehow... frozen...?

[Video]

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I... I don't know.

Luffy...

Luffy said it was several months later. He was training to get stronger. But maybe it's just because... [Trembles slightly] I'm supposed to be dead, you know? I think... for the people who get sent back they get sent to the right times... but...

You...

[Just shakes his head and trails off, at a loss for words.]

[Video]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

What if Hisoka needed me... and I wasn't... [Grinding his teeth, he sucks in a breath as he tries not to think what he's thinking right now.] They needed me...! For once... they needed me... and I screwed up again...!

[mmmjustice.livejournal.com]

Tsuzuki.

Oi.

Stop that.

S-Smoker...?
