Trash Squad Day 11 - SECRETS

[chinhotta]

Are you ready for it?! It's the long awaited final event! This is your last chance to get close before your final dates and the final bonus event!

And, back by popular demand, it's the motive vi—wait, no, not that. Well, I guess you're motivated to build your relationships? That's better anyway.

...Anyway! Check your tablets! You will find you have a few interesting video files! They should be familiar to you! The catch is... if you don't share each one with a different person by nighttime today, they will all be shown to everyone here! We'll have a fun midnight viewing party!

This may seem a bit cruel, but... love is cruel sometimes. Take it as an opportunity to get a bit closer to the people you care about, or everyone will learn a bit more about you! It's win-win when you think about it that way!

[ On your tablets are a minimum of 3 video files! There is no maximum; it's however many you OOCly want to deal with. Each video contains some sort of secret your character has—'secret' loosely defined as anything they would be uncomfortable being thrown up on a big screen in the auditorium in front of everyone. The presentation can be as simple as lines of text with embarrassing facts (Alice wet the bed until she was in junior high!) or as involved as a dramatically edited montage of the murders they committed through their whole life. Your choice!

Each file should be shown to a different person to count as 'shared'. If there is anything they do not manage to, or choose not to, share with someone in particular, comment with a brief description of it over here. These will all be shared publicly in a post which goes up on Thursday before the date announcement post. ]

[He can guess why that is, so he won't comment on it. Instead he'll say something else.]

Dad was a total hardass. He never treated us poorly or anything, but he pushed us to work hard every day. I think that was his way of showing that he cared, by making sure me and Yukio were ready to be adults.

Guys like Dad and your master, I think feelings are tough for them. I don't think Dad had much of a family to show him how to be a parent, I've never met his family. Maybe it's the same for your master?

1/2

[lefthandpath]

... he worked in tandem with the Fourteenth--Nea. The Noah that's within me.

But... there were some things. That made me think... maybe all of it wasn't about that. Or, rather. Maybe some of it was about that.

[he shakes his head, holding Tim up a bit, wishing the golem could actually move.]

He certainly pushed at me. He even left me a message with Tim... pretty much explaining his way of viewing things about paths we walk down. Telling me to stop wearing that mask I put on.

Why would he tell me that... if the point was to keep me together just long enough to have a Noah take me over? That doesn't make any sense. He never... really made any sense to me.

[until recently.]

[lefthandpath]

[ugh. rubs at his eyes.]

I don't wanna cry over that asshole, though. I'd rather punch him. He got himself killed in a very stupid way, and he deserves every hit he gets.

[this is... affection? maybe.]

[flamingprick]

[Okay, his arms are actually sliding around Allen's waist now, to hug him from behind. Because it sounds like Allen needs hugs right now.]

You know, Shura nearly killed me the first time I met her. She thought Dad was just raising me to be a weapon, that he only saved me to turn me into a killer. She was wrong, of course, but she had convinced herself that her thought was the truth.

I guess the only person who can really know what that guy- [Cross, he means.] -meant is him. And trust me, I know how frustrating that is.

[He already gave Allen the 'why was I saved?' rant, so.]

[lefthandpath]

It's very. Frustrating.

[to put it mildly but also remembering his last words to Cross were literally "STUPID MASTER!" and sticking his tongue out at him like a kid. ugh... slumps further against Rin, though hands lift up Tim so he can squish and stretch his "face"]

That other video with him... it's the last time I saw him. When he told me about the Fourteenth and... and how he... relates to Mana.

[flamingprick]

Is it some kind of 'he's your father' bullshit or something? Because let me tell you, I know all about that kind of crap.

[He. Might have a video to show Allen about that too.]

[lefthandpath]

No!

He's Mana's brother.

[DON'T ASK ME, NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE.]

[flamingprick]

That's still family! Jeez, that's almost as messed up as some of these shithole demon families are in my world. Did you know Satan has seven kids besides me and Yukio? Who the hell even has time for that?!

[lefthandpath]

Master, probably.

[so many ladies left brokenhearted because of that man...]

[flamingprick]

...wait so, he was a player AND a priest?

That's. Even more like my Dad.

[Wow their lives are so eerily similar.]

[lefthandpath]

Where do you think he racked up all of the debt? Brothels and liquor.

[flamingprick]

[Rin goes quiet for a moment, and then he shifts a little so he can prop himself up and look Allen in the face.]

Allen.

What if we're each other but from different worlds?

[lefthandpath]

[that is the most stupid thing--

but instead of debunking, innocently putting fuel on the fire:]

... aren't we from different time periods?

[flamingprick]

Well don't souls like. Reincarnate or some shit?

[He's sure that's a belief SOMEWHERE.]

Plus if it's different worlds it doesn't have to be the same time anyway. But look at all the crap we deal with! It's too much alike, don't you think?

[lefthandpath]

[squiiints up at Rin.]

... no offence, but we're kind of opposite in a lot of ways, too.

[flamingprick]

[FROWN FROWN and he flops back down behind Allen.]

It was just a thought, it really is weird how much stuff we have in common.

...but I guess you're right, we're way different sometimes. Like how I'm way more forward than you.

[And, while grinning, he quickly shifts his hands to grab at Allen's chest like someone would do if they were grabbing someone's boobs from behind and honking them. Except Allen doesn't really have boobs, so it's more just the motion up there, but details. Because Rin is a mature person with an excellent sense of humor.]

[lefthandpath]

[yeah, well.

Allen is banned from gambling circles for a reason: he ups the ante way high and he cheats.

which is to say, he just twists enough so he can stretch his neck to bite at whatever piece of skin of Rin's is closest.]

[flamingprick]

[It's probably going to be a bit of skin right on his shoulder, which definitely won't work him up as much as a neck-bite would, but still. Way to use Rin's weakness against him.

Rin's back to hugging Allen now, to kind of hold him there sort of? But instead of around the waist, his arms are up over Allen's chest a bit.]

Oi! Don't start stuff you don't intend on finishing!

[lefthandpath]

I wasn't aware you were so sensitive.

[I mean, he actually did but also... lol]

[flamingprick]

You know damn well that I am, don't play innocent.

[So uncool, Allen.]

[lefthandpath]

[but Rin's cute when he sulks?]

Haha, sorry, sorry, I won't then.

[flamingprick]

[It's not cute omg]

I should bite you back and see how much you like it.

[lefthandpath]

You should, but we should probably make sure secrets of yours don't get put on for public display.

[flamingprick]

Okay, fun for later then, I get you.

[He'll let go of Allen with one hand to reach for his own tablet before bringing it in front of both of them, leaving the screen open for Allen to pick something. Some of the videos are already viewed, but here's what's available:

Rin in a church, staring at something in horror.

Rin yelling at a man in a brown coat.

Rin pinned to the ground by Sara in the middle of what looks like some sort of fight.

Rin sitting with a boy his age who has glasses and moles on his face. Despite the fact that Rin's not yelling, the scene looks tense.

Rin standing in a forest, looking demonic, with sheer animalistic fury in his eyes.]

Um.

The other guy in that fourth one there, that's Yukio.

[So Allen can guess what that video might be about.]

[lefthandpath]

I did notice the resemblance...

[but more importantly... staring at all of these options.]

... is there one you'd rather I choose?
