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. ]

Just a dash of cream, thank you. When you are done with that, there is something I wish to ask you.

[afailedmurder]

Sure thing.

[goddamnit. but he faithfully makes and delivers the coffee]

[artisticliberty]

[he takes it and wraps his hands around the mug]

I appreciate it.

[afailedmurder]

It's nothing. We must support one another in the absence of our barista, after all.

[artisticliberty]

[stop making cute faces at me. he takes a sip]

... it's not Akira's coffee, but he would surely approve.

[afailedmurder]

[haha no, this is a defense mechanism]

I think so. He'd have wanted us fully caffeinated.

[artisticliberty]

To face our demons, or something like that?

[afailedmurder]

Oh, ah... just in general, I think.

[artisticliberty]

True. In any event, there is something I would like for you to see.

[afailedmurder]

One of your videos?

[artisticliberty]

Yes. Most of these videos are... mildly unpleasant, at best. But there is one that I would rather not show anyone else.

[afailedmurder]

...And you're going to show it to me?

[clearly he must be misunderstanding something]

[artisticliberty]

It's a selfish request, I realize.

[afailedmurder]

No, I don't mind. I'll watch anything you like.

[artisticliberty]

I thank you. Some of this you most likely already know.

[he pulls up the video on his tablet]

In return, you may ask of me a favor.

[afailedmurder]

You don't have to do anything. I'm glad you thought of me.

[peers down at the video]

[artisticliberty]

No... as I said, it's a selfish request.

[he hands over the tablet. the scene is the final confrontation with madarame wherein he reveals the truth of "sayuri" and yusuke's mother, the bossfight, and immediate aftermath--for those of you playing at home, go here and watch from 38:00 to 56:17. the lengthy bossfight ends at 54:00 if you want to skip]

[afailedmurder]

[silent and bearing a very serious expression as he watches it]

...I recall that palace. What a repulsive man.

[artisticliberty]

[quietly]

Yes. He was rotten to his very core.

[afailedmurder]

I'm amazed you showed so much restraint.

[artisticliberty]

[...]

For a second there, I almost didn't. I thought about it, all throughout that fight. "Why does he get to live and not my mother?"

But as soon as he cowered at my feet, it faded away for some reason.

[afailedmurder]

That's not so surprising. You'd already crushed him and proven yourself superior. That's the sort of revenge I would have liked to get against Shido.

[artisticliberty]

It is regrettable that you were not there with us to change his heart.

[afailedmurder]

[shrugs lightly]

I'm just glad he was taken care of. I'd probably have messed it up anyway.

[artisticliberty]

Yes, but you deserved the right, regardless.
