[accidental video | canon mooove part one!]
[when the video clicks on, the lighting in the room is very, very dim; a billowy white blouse and shiny dark hair stand out in the pale light from the computer's screen. Shia has her back to the camera, and is sitting in the floor, an intricately-patterned skirt pooled around her legs. a boy sleeps with his head in her lap, a blanket pulled over him; some may recognize him as Kotarou Higuchi, her next-door neighbor and friend.
Shia lightly pets his hair, absently, as a mother would her sleeping child. for a moment, things are quiet; and then something happens. those of the community who are sensitive to the supernatural will hear a psychic voice speaking to Shia; those who aren't won't hear anything at all, only Shia's response.]
I feel something from that boy.
[Shia glances at something off in the dark, presumably the source of the psychic voice.]
Ah...? Feel... from Higuchi-san?
Yeah. He has the scent of the thing you're searching for!
[Shia doesn't seem to like the sound of that, somehow.]
Ah...
But we can't really be sure yet. Why don't you check? Don't you need to feel it more?
... yes...
[she pushes herself back from him, brushing the hair from his face. she murmurs something to him-- something very soft, something the camera's microphone barely picks up. if something has very, very good hearing, they may be able to make out her asking him to forgive her for something... and then she leans down over him. the darkness and the angle hide exactly what she's doing fairly well, unfortunately, and things are quiet for a moment.
after a beat of this, she sits back up, silently. she makes to stand-- but then turns her head just enough to catch the computer filming her, and she looks strangely horrified. for just a moment before she can close her hand over it, before she hits the button and switches the video off, the crimson glimmer of something that could be blood can be seen on her lips.]
((Responses are from early the next morning. She's gonna check the comm out of paranoia that it got posted. As stated, the only ones who can hear the voice in italics are people who are sensitive to supernatural things-- people who can sense demons and the like-- and psychics. Anyone else won't hear anything, just Shia talking to herself. There's gonna be a follow-up post to this later, so stay tuned.))

And please tell me you did not just bite him.
[video | locked]
... [her gaze falls, and, for a long moment, she's not sure how to respond.]
I'm sorry. But... I have to know.
[video | locked]
...
Is he a demon now too?
[video | locked]
No. You must be born a demon, or have your soul stolen away by one, to become like us. I was just... testing something.
[video | locked]
I see. I'm assuming you didn't drink much of his blood, will this stop you from getting weak for how long exactly...?
[video | locked]
Oh-- no, he isn't... ah. You couldn't see him...?
[... hmm.]
... it... was only a very small amount. I don't think it will sustain me for long on its own.
[video | locked]
No I could not. How does he looks like?
Makes sense. Shia I think you really need to figure out a solution to all this.

... I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't really explain. But it really is alright.

[he knows... she doesn't know HOW, but she can just... sense it. he knows.]
I can't. I don't want to hurt them...

... I know.

But it would be quite a shame if a cute little lady such as you died for such easily avoidable reasons.
[video]
[although she has been reconsidering this. what if living with Kotarou and Misha is enough? it's such a happy, peaceful life... would it really be so bad to spend her final days this way?]
no subject
After all, what do I know?
video.
video.
It's... it's nothing. Really. Higuchi-san had a very long day, I was...
[she trails off, struggling. finally, she decides on simply saying:]
I'm sorry.
video.
...Is he alright at least?
video.

...Like I said before. If you need help, you can always ask me.
You don't have to do it alone.
video.
Thank you. Maybe, soon, I'll be able to tell you everything... I hope so. But, for now, I... it's better this way. [she smiles weakly.] Please don't worry over me.
video.
Though it's kinda hard not to worry. But, you'll be fine. I know that much.
Just don't take on too much, alright?
video.
I'll be careful. As careful as I can.
