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. ]

[raises an eyebrow at him, but otherwise says nothing]

[afailedmurder]

[Yup, rando it is. Enjoy the sight of Akechi absolutely wreaking havoc in a palace, expertly dispatching shadows. While he's violent about it, he's not much worse than the Phantom Thieves... until he casually uses that same manic brutality against the owner's cognitive self. No boss fight speeches here; Akechi is the only one who gets to have an evil monologue, ranting about what happens of pieces of shit who defy the will of justice as he mentally breaks, beats, and ultimately kills his victim. Have you ever seen him had that much fun before, Yusuke? Probably not.]

[artisticliberty]

[okay well thanks. thanks for that. yusuke makes a face as he watches, not taking any care to hide his disgust, and sighs when it's over, handing back the tablet]

Well, you certainly enjoyed yourself.

[afailedmurder]

[takes it]

I told you you didn't want to see it.

[artisticliberty]

I will not say I enjoyed it, but I did also say that I wished to understand you better.

[be careful what you wish for, yusuke]

[afailedmurder]

Well? Do you understand me better?

[artisticliberty]

Not really, no.

[afailedmurder]

It's probably pointless to explain...

[if he doesn't get it by now, will he ever?]

But that's all I've ever had. The Metaverse was... my art.

[artisticliberty]

A blithe comparison, but one I can sympathize with. For such a despicable act, that was... perhaps the happiest I think I have ever seen you.

[afailedmurder]

Mm. Unlike the cognitive world, I'm not terribly at ease around the Phantom Thieves.

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke's quiet for a bit, fingers lightly drumming on the table]

What makes you happy now?

[afailedmurder]

I like... showing Saihara around town. Playing with the dog. Working on our business has been a welcome distraction as well...

[artisticliberty]

Is this the kind of happiness you can see yourself content with, for a while at least?

[afailedmurder]

I suppose so. All things considered, I've done very well for myself.

[artisticliberty]

I won't discount that.

I urge you to seek happiness where you can, Akechi. Our lives are short in the cosmic sense.

[afailedmurder]

It's not as though I haven't been trying...

[artisticliberty]

Does that mean you have been having difficulty succeeding?

[dang, yusuke, you should be a detective]

[afailedmurder]

...It's not such an easy thing. I still have a number of things that I'm dealing with.

[artisticliberty]

Of course. It hasn't been that long since you returned.

[afailedmurder]

And while I'm very fortunate not to have been imprisoned or institutionalized, I haven't exactly had much time to settle in...

[artisticliberty]

Being summoned here once more has not helped that, I imagine.

[afailedmurder]

No. It certainly hasn't.

[artisticliberty]

That is all I wished to ask, for now.

[is he satisfied by that answer...?]

[afailedmurder]

Ah. All right.

[is he??????]
