Trash Squad Day 11 - SECRETS

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 could have if he wanted to. I'm not especially difficult to use. But instead he helped me. He talked me down, convinced me that I could trust Shuichi... and as for his threats, it would be awfully hypocritical if I held something like that against him.

[pauses]

...I didn't say anything about liking or not liking you. I only disagreed. But Will and I aren't all that different. If you hate him so much, you'll be better off staying away from me.
flamingprick: (Yukio you suck)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2018-03-29 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I do hate him, yeah. But I don't hate you. I'm MAD at you right now, but I don't hate you.

I wonder if that would change if you understood what I'm capable of. Why don't I show you what a "cool guy" I really am?

[Pulls up a video on his tablet and flips it for Rin. Enjoy watching Akira get shot in the face, I guess.]
flamingprick: (sad)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2018-03-29 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah uh. The look on his face when he sees that is about the same as the one when he had seen the results of Akira's trial, or when he had found Aoba's body. Just...horrified.

And for a moment, it looks like that horror is about to contort into pure rage. His hands are shaking, clutching the tablet tight enough to make it creak dangerously. If they were back in his world and his powers weren't blocked, his flames would be heating up the room as well. That's how angry he's getting.

But the video doesn't stop. It keeps playing, and Rin sees the conversation after that. The one where Akechi reports in to another man. And as he watches that, and as he realizes something, the anger drains right out of him.

Two times is enough for Rin to recognize the pattern here, and when the video finally ends and Rin looks up to Akechi, it's with a look of absolute sadness, not anger.

People keep using you. You've never known any different, have you?

[Horror and anger were the expected, intended result, but he's not sure what to do with sadness. Awkwardly, he reaches out to take the tablet back.]

The powerful use the disenfranchised. That's a simple fact of society.
flamingprick: (definitely not amused)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2018-03-29 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He lets go of the tablet, but the sadness is still there.]

But you let yourself get used, over and over again. You don't know how to live in any other way, do you?

[Clutching it almost defensively.]

That's not true. I have Saihara now.
flamingprick: (curious)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2018-03-29 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
You do, but...

[It's a risk, but.]

Do you suggest stuff to do? Do you pick out movies to watch, places to hang out, stuff like that? Or does he pick all of that?

[personal profile] afailedmurder 2018-03-29 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not. He's not familiar with things from my world, and I have excellent tastes if I do say so myself, so I'm usually the one who suggests those sorts of things. I consult him for other things...

[like where to live, what job to have, who to be friends with, who to date...]

It's a normal relationship.
flamingprick: (sad)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2018-03-29 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Rin doesn't quite believe that, not after what he saw in that video. It may be normal as far as Akechi knows, but...

Rin is drawn back to the countless attempts he had made to pry into Yukio's life, to try and get him to open up and admit that something was wrong. He remembers how quickly Yukio had iced him out, and how he had always been afraid to push it further.
]

...mmm.

[A noncommittal noise. He doesn't believe Akechi, but he's not going to argue that point either.

He should talk to Shuichi about it instead, probably.

[personal profile] afailedmurder 2018-03-29 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[noticing that dubiousness]

...Even if it's not normal, it's not his fault.
flamingprick: (yeah whatever)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2018-03-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
C'mon, I'm not gonna blame him for it.

[It's not really something either of them should be blamed for anyway.]

I don't want you to give him a hard time or say anything strange to him, either. He has it hard enough being with someone like me.
