everydayimsuffering | First Feather [Accidental video]

[The Pcd flickers on, though all there is to see is blood dripping from somewhere and concrete. The sound hasn’t quite picked up yet, the video itself a little rough before suddenly the feed is thick with heavy breathing and a pained moan trapped behind grit teeth. This is followed by shoes sliding against gravel, and another soft sound of pain before a teenage boy comes into view of the video, slumped against the wall of a building.

His hands are gripping his left leg where, now that video is coming more into focus, an arrow has gone straight through and lodged itself in his thigh. His clothes look a little worse for wear, his cheek is bleeding, skin is red and raw.]

M-mokona? Where did you take me? I...Where is the princess?

[All in all the building seems to fit the setting he had been in before, but it isn’t the same, its different, and also devoid of strangers. Gritting his teeth again, he pushes himself to stand slowly, ignoring the pain in his leg as he limps. He moves further away from the camera but despite the slow movements he looks frantic, yelling at the top of his lungs in search of someone important to him.]

Princess? Princess!?

Hey, when you're feeling better, let's meet again in better circumstances, ok?

everydayimsuffering

I would love to.

Perhaps you can show me around then, or help me in finding a suitable place to live. I'd rather not take up the shelter forever.

Mm. There are places... You might have to fix them up a little, but everyone will help with that!

I wouldn't want to be much trouble. I just need somewhere small.

[He had been living in one bedroom hotels for the nights they stayed outside with three other people. He doesn't exactly need much space]

It isn't trouble at all. We all help each other here; there's no other way in this situation. So please, let us help.

Well is there anything that I can do for you Miss Usagi?

[For all her lectures about relying on others and friendship, she just doesn't have the confidence lately. (Or maybe more than lately; her worries seem so small next to everyone else.)]

I'm fine. Thank you.

If you're sure.

I'd love to talk to you some more when I've gotten settled though. Perhaps we can set a side a day to enjoy each others company.

[He already knows you'll be good for him, Usagi. And hopefully he can bring something to the table for you too.]

I'd like that a lot. I think we should get to know each other.

And maybe then you can tell me more about your world, and share some of your optimism with me.

My world's pretty normal, I guess; but I'll try to think of things to say.

I'm sure it has some things that set it apart. I'd like to hear about the people there too. Or if you have any special customs.

[she's just not that analytical. She gives Syaoran a bright smile anyway.]

I'll do my best! And you can ask me questions and I'll try to answer them!

[Its alright Usagi. He will enjoy your company regardless.]

I'm sure your answers will be wonderful. Besides, its the person telling that adds to the telling of a culture.

[Usagi waves the idea off with both hands and a sheepish smile.]

I'm not really a storyteller or anything like that.

You don't give yourself enough credit. Everyone can be a story teller. You just have to love what you're talking about.

I guess for me, I'd be a storyteller about video games or napping or food, then! [It's mostly a joke; things have gotten too serious here for her to be that way anymore, though she'd definitely like a peaceful life that allows for it.]

[...]

Are video games like...virtual reality? I'm not too familiar with the term...

Some of them are, but not all of them. The best ones are, though! There's an awesome racing game at Crown where you can even feel the bumps!

[See? He's already interested.]

Really? That sounds amazing! I was in a virtual reality um....I think they called it roleplaying game? My friends ran a cafe and then my other friend and I were demon hunters. It all felt so real.

No way! That sounds really cool too! I want to play!

It was a little scary when we died though. We weren't actually aware it was a game until we weren't playing any more.

What? They didn't tell you? But wait, how did you start playing, then?

Well we found out after we left that to make the game more realistic, you don't remember entering the game until after you're done. It was kind of weird.

It sounds kind of scary, but since it was a game in the end, I guess no one got hurt.
