007: Video

[believemyvoice]

[The video seems to start out in an empty practice room, with Tokiya in it alone, singing part of a song. He stops about halfway in and sighs out in aggravation. He certainly looks like something has been bothering him lately...

After a moment, he looks toward the camera with a weary expression.] Still there, I see. I didn't think I'd be able to shake this place that easily, anyway.

[He pulls up a chair and plops himself down into the seat.] I just can't seem to get it right, no matter how many times I try lately. Things just aren't going how they were supposed to.

Comments

[believemyvoice]

[He raises a brow.] In case you hadn't heard, I'm an idol. I work a lot of the time and when I'm not doing that, I have school to deal with and rehearsals. I can't catch everything that this community does.

[But then his expression darkens.] Who did something like this to Shooter?

[hugmyscythe]

It would do you wellto check it more often.

Many things are reported

from time to time: injuries, deaths,

festivities. Imagine if you

had missed Shooter when she needed a friend like you the most.[ because. as he should know, Shooter could get into fights often and be hurt as a result. ]

The community is very perverted,

it seems, to have recorded Shooter when

she is most vulnerable.

There is a man here who shamelesslywishes to save pictures of her and the other girl.

[believemyvoice]

[He scowls, clearly not very happy about this at all.]

Do you know who the man is?

[hugmyscythe]

A clue: you have spoken brieflywith him,
and certainly he is the only male here

that seems to want you,

perhaps in one way or another.

[believemyvoice]

[Ew gross. A man who seems to want him in some way? Think, Tokiya...] Lately, I only seem to speak with women. But the only man who keeps talking to me would be...[He pauses a moment.] Greed?!?!

[hugmyscythe]

[ the flattest look ever ] ...Did you honestly trust him to be anythingbetter than greed itself?

[believemyvoice]

I never got along with him very well from the beginning, but he seems to keep popping up around me. I guess it got to the point where he could be tolerated and he gave me some advice on things...

But I didn't know he'd do something like this. Especially with Shooter. [He grits his teeth.]

[hugmyscythe]

I assume an idol has money, no?

And you are handsome.

[ so have a shrug. he should be able to connect the dots that she's implying he's probably being used. ] Greed is asgreed does,

and thinks only of himself.

There is nothingmore to him than that.

[believemyvoice]

I need to go visit Greed.

[hugmyscythe]

...I do believeYuri Nakamura has

taken care of what files he has

saved for now.

[believemyvoice]

Good. I still need to pay him a visit, though. [He looks pretty livid.]

[hugmyscythe]

I would personally escort you, but I do believe

any confrontation between you and him

may result in an injury to yourself. [ Which... she can't have. Because Shooter likes him. ]

[believemyvoice]

It probably won't go well. But I still plan on trying.

[hugmyscythe]

I will notput you in danger.[ although she could probably protect him, if she really wanted to. ] You shall have to findsomeone else.[ just like shooter. ]

[believemyvoice]

I didn't plan to ask you for your help, anyway. Ill find him on my own.

[hugmyscythe]

Shall I tell Shooter of your bravery?

[believemyvoice]

No. Don't tell her anything.

[hugmyscythe]

If you insist...

[believemyvoice]

I'm not trying to brag about this. Besides, it's very likely I'll end up in bad shape.
