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. ]

Dude, we're both part demon. Devilman, whatever you want to call it. If anything, I'm probably the best person to take that kind of thing.

[Durable enough to handle roughness, strong enough to throw Akira off if it got too rough, and with the healing to handle anything else.

Plus he knows how frustrating it can be. If Akira has no other outlet, Rin isn't going to let him suffer.]

[lacrimose]

All right. If you're prepared, meet me in the gym later.

[he'll just have to try not to straight up kill Rin, after repressing himself for this long...??? he still doesn't look too happy about the whole thing, really]

... I guess I should show you one of my videos, too.

[flamingprick]

[Relax dude, it'll be fine. Rin knows what he's doing. No he doesn't.]

Yeah, you probably should before we get distracted later. So what do you have for me?

[lacrimose]

[Akira says nothing and hands him the tablet, where a video starts playing. He doesn't watch it with Rin, just sits and buries his head in his hands, silently beginning to cry.]

[flamingprick]

[Oh no.

Oh no.

Rin watches to the end, staying with it no matter how painful it is. Akira watched all of his, he owed Akira that much in return.

But as soon as the video is done? Yeah, he's hugging Akira tightly.]

[lacrimose]

[Akira returns the hug, squeezing his eyes shut. He never wants to see or hear that again -- it already haunts him enough, every single day.]

Sorry I didn't tell you myself. Even though you told me about your mom... [He couldn't bring himself to make Rin feel even more sad.]

[flamingprick]

It's alright, I- I know. It sucks, to have to remember that stuff. My dad's death is on here too and I was about the same when I had to watch that.

[lacrimose]

[nods, miserable, and hugs him a little tighter when he mentions his dad]

I want to go home... I couldn't save my parents, but there are still people I need to protect.

[flamingprick]

Yeah, it sounds like it.

[If that video shows just what kind of monsters Akira is up against normally, at least.]

...I wish you didn't have to though. Or at least that you didn't have to go back alone.

[lacrimose]

Even if someone won the prize to move between worlds, I wouldn't ask them to come to mine. It's too dangerous.

[flamingprick]

I'd come.

[He says it immediately, no hesitation.]

[lacrimose]

[Akira is surprised enough that he stops crying, pulling back to stare at Rin.] What? No... People would figure out what you are, and you'd be hunted down. I can't guarantee I could keep you safe.

[Protecting even two other Devilmen is hard enough, without adding a third.]

[flamingprick]

So? Let them figure it out. Not all demons are bad, and if they see one being good then maybe that will help them change their minds.

[SORRY AKIRA he. Wants to do this now.]

[lacrimose]

It isn't like that. Humans are so scared right now, they'll turn on each other if they think someone might be a demon. They'll round people up and shoot them without a second thought... It isn't the kind of situation where someone like you or me should show themselves to anyone.

[flamingprick]

Then I'll just hide my tail, and it'll be alright!

[Yeah that's. Enough to pass for a human in his world. Hide his tail, and don't use his powers.]

[lacrimose]

And the ears and fangs? You gonna tell people you had plastic surgery?

[...People kind of assumed that was the case for Akira's sudden change in body, so actually, it wouldn't be a bad cover story...]

[flamingprick]

Do people even look closely enough to notice that?

[That. Never happened in his world. Cover up the tail = 100% human.]
