*Retasu turns on the video and nervously waves. She also has two smaller versions of herself, one on each shoulder and nagging at her.*

I guess this is the virus for this month? Do you think that means that the, um, the "other" one is back to being in May, or...?

*The little Retasu on one shoulder tugs on her hair, making her yelp.* Stop bothering them. You're just going to scare them over nothing.

*The other one shakes her head.* No, no. You're being helpful! You should be braver. Now go ask Kise-san about that "shipping fund" she mentioned so you and Miharu-san can get that date over with! You know you should, and a certain other person would be happy to see you two--

Please stop it! *The real, regular-sized Retasu is now beet red. She quickly shuts off the video.*

You have it easy. The two little me's went to go play doujin games.

[aquaticrush]

But isn't it good that they're easily distracted?

[pikapikapikarin]

The named the heroine Retasu. And I don't think this is a good game anyhow.

Last time I download Long Live The Queen.

I can probably only sum this game up by linking a video from Polaris.

[aquaticrush]

That didn't make any sense at all, Kise-san.

[pikapikapikarin]

It's not supposed to make any sense. It's the most incomprehensible game I've ever played. And that says a lot.

[aquaticrush]

But aren't there a lot of strange games?

At least they aren't causing trouble for anyone. Be happy!

What? No! Get mad! They're probably seeing how many ways they can kill you off in their game.

[pikapikapikarin]

Well actually, they're actually trying to see how many people you can date in that game before there's tragedy.

[aquaticrush]

I'm not sure if that's worse.

[pikapikapikarin]

They're probably trying to gauge something. I'm not too sure what.

"Miharu-san", huh...

[There are two other Greeds lounging on his couch; given that they're making the same thoughtful face he does, it probably means they can't be counted on to stop him from following this embarrassing line of conversation. Well, even if they are good and bad sides, they're still Greed, so his level of "good" isn't something to get one's hopes up about...]

[Video]

[aquaticrush]

Kise-san was going on about her shipping fund and--

He's talking about your using his first name, you know.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Don't let Greed-san tease you again.

That's inevitable.

*Eep.*

[Video]

[material_guy]

Nah, I was more thinking that Miharu's that kid that had the disks, right? But, a first name basis with him's somethin' I can "tease" you about, eh... So he really is special, eh?


[The Greed to the left, from here on in bold, chimes in with a smirk.] She's on a first name basis with us, too. Give 'er hell over that.

[And the right one, in italics, looks over with a bland stare.] Oi, oi. You can only mess with her when it's legit or you're not messin' with her, you're bullying. [Greed's "good" side, ladies and gentlemen.] Now, help the poor girl out in her love life already.

[Video]

[aquaticrush]

*eep* He said it was okay! S-so I -- and you don't even have a last name!

Don't let him tease you again. Your love life shouldn't be everybody's business like he thinks it is.

Are you kidding? Don't you remember the part where you almost destroyed the universe?

*Retasu is sinking into her chair.*

[Video]

[material_guy]

That's rude. I'm rootin' for youse guys here, y'know.

[Both other Greeds nod emphatically. Which is to say he probably think of it as equal parts kindness and equal parts wicked fun, but that he doesn't have much internal struggle, doubt or self reflection is probably not a surprise to any of the Retatsus.]

So, you're makin' some progress with him? Gettin' to a first name basis 'n all.

[Video]

[aquaticrush]

Cheering for us to do what?

To do something funny, probably.

[Video]

[material_guy]

[All three in unison, talking over each other:]
Fuck like rabbits.
Get the guy you like for once.
Have a good time.

*Retasu squeaks, covers her mouth, and ducks out of view. There may be a steam cloud rising up from her head.*

[rocked]

What do you mean, the other one?

[aquaticrush]

Every year, the community tends to repeat all the past viruses at once. Usually in April.

[rocked]

Oh, right. The crazy virus.

Maybe it got tired of it.

[aquaticrush]

It could be, but that's scary to think of, too.

[rocked]

It sounds pretty good to me.

[aquaticrush]

But what would it do to replace that one?

WHOOPS my bad

[rocked]

Maybe nothing. You should expect the unexpected here.

If something happens, it's not like we can prepare for it. We just have to adapt.

[aquaticrush]

I guess that's also true.
