[ accidental video / canon update ]

[second_star]

[ The video feed opens up to the bridge outside of Dahngrest. Though it's nighttime, the figures of three suspicious men (one of them a familiar looking Mayor) standing on the bridge can be seen, obviously discussing something between themselves. ]

[ ooc: 5:18 to 6:30. Ragou escapes punishments for his crimes once more using his political authority, and Yuri won't stand for it anymore. Replies happen just a few minutes after this is posted. ]

[Well, look who saw. Rita's face is pale as she watches Yuri take justice into his own hands. Her mouth is moving, but neither condemnation nor question comes out. She just... can't put her emotions to words right now.]

[ ...Shit...

The reason he did it like this was so no one else would see. Of course the community would do this. But...of all people... ]

...Where are you, right now?

[chestboard]

[...Oh wow... so stuff like this is why he said he can't be with Ange huh? Still, he gets it... at least, a little bit better now.

Battler sighed a little.]

...Sometimes you need to dirty your own hands, I get it.

I'm gonna break the serious mood of this post by saying it looks like they're having a staring match

[second_star]

[ ...Yuri didn't really know how to respond to that. He simply stood there, not really looking back into feed, closing his eyes. ]

...You'd think this place would have some decency, at least.

[Not here]

[pikapikapikarin]

[nope nothing to see here. Just Yayoi burying her face in her pillow, trying to shut out what she had just seen. And trying not to hyperventilate.]

[promisedknight]

[Ren's quiet for a moment after seeing this. Finally...]

...You did what you had to.

[Funny. He sounds more like he's trying to convince himself of that.]

[second_star]

Hmm. [ Someone he doesn't recognize. Yuri doesn't say anything back at first, but it only takes a few seconds before... ]

...Jail was too nice of a place for him.

[Finally Here - Audio]

[pikapikapikarin]

[Her voice is muffled, is she trying not to sob or scream or something? Maybe she's hugging her Nao pillow.]

You killed him...

[second_star]

[ It took all of his strength to bite back a sarcastic reply. ]

Yeah. [ He simply affirmed, going quiet. There was silence for a few moments, followed by-- ]

Didn't expect this to get posted.

[they_call_me_sonic]

I don't know the whole story to this. Frankly, I don't want to know.

Right now, I want to know if you can handle what you've done.

[second_star]

[ Another face he didn't recognize. Jeez, everyone was seeing this... ]

Yeah, I'll be fine. No one was around to see anyway.

[hunterofpeace]

WAIT!

[A shrill voice tries to stop the video in the middle, before the blow is struck.]

STOP! YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL HIM!

[second_star]

[ Though the reply comes too late, Yuri can't help but answer. ]

...What? Did you have a better idea?

[mightletyouknowme]

Y-yuri.

[She's surprised and really, that's all she can say.]

[second_star]

[ All the people he didn't want to see this saw it. Goddammit... ]

...Yeah, Sena?

[entreats]

[ .. Well, this is awkward. She hasn't even figured out how to even talk to Yuri again, but now this popped up and-- she can't.. not say anything after that, right? Not that she particularly cares about murder, but she cares about him, and it's not that she's angry or anything else as much as she's worried, and--

Ugh. She's even trying to swallow thickly here, keep her feelings away like she always does, but of course it doesn't work when she needs it. Of course not. In exchange her voice ends up a little soft. ]

.. Are you okay, Yuri..?

voice;

[second_star]

[ ...Jeez, the community was having a field day with this, wasn't it. There's silence on the other end, before Yuri finally decides to reply. Why Ange, of all people? ]

I'm fine. Nothing to worry about.

[fortheworld]

[...well, this is a good first impression isn't it]

I see they weren't exaggerating this Community's habits; I presume you had some reason for doing what you did?

[second_star]

[ Talk about first impressions. Yuri sighed. ]

Whether I did or not doesn't matter now anyway. The community just loves making shit more complicated.

[aquaticrush]

[second_star]

[ ..What is he supposed to say to her? He just stays silent, unsure of how to speak. ]

[jailbirds]

Hey, congratulations.

[ it isn't mocking or sarcastic at all. it looked like yuri took this pretty seriously, so she has the decency not to smile, but even with the serious expression on her face, there's no tension. there's no way she wouldn't be completely comfortable with this. ]

video;

[second_star]

[ Well...that was a new response... ]

Heh. [ Though it was obvious he wasn't actually chuckling. ] Thanks...I guess. [ His eyes were closed, as if he didn't want to make eye contact with her. ]

...This place just has great timing, doesn't it?

[regalbearing]

[ it's immediately clear that this wasn't intentional. she's seen people die and be killed many times; often she has been the one who struck the final blow. so it's not so much the violence that fazes her. but one thing needs to be established: ]

... What were his crimes? That man that you just killed.

[second_star]

[ If the community was going to broadcast something like this...the least it could have done was give everyone some more context. Yuri sighed, not even sure where to begin. ]

He had plenty. Off the top of my head, I can name civilian murders and blastia smuggling. There's more, though. He had quite a history. [ Which only made it seem more ridiculous that that knights would let him get away with it. Every single time. ]
