Forty-Sixth Spool of Thread - [Accidental Voice/Video]

[so_shik]

[The start of the feed is rather abrupt as the journal hits the floor of a familiar clothing shop, and at first the voices are muffled until the journal gets settled.

For anyone who happens to be looking at the moment, they might see a pink-haired girl bruising the pride of one certain new feather. For you see, Shiki is currently using her plush cat, Mr. Mew, as a weapon of mass destruction as she holds the cat by the arm and continues smacking Neku with it.]

--any idea how freaked out I was that you just disappeared like that?! Come on, Neku! You have to quit doing this to me!

W-what the hell?! Shiki! I don't even know what you're talking about!

...wait...what? [And it's just as abrupt that she stops hitting him. That would have been good to know.] ...you've gotta be kidding me! [And then suddenly the camera blacks out as the belly of Mr. Mew lands right on top of Shiki's journal.]

I can't believe...those jerks!

We'll get you a good club to beat him with next time.

[ that's a joke, btw. he does make those sometimes. ]

voice;

[so_shik]

[She likes when he makes those, even when sometimes they don't sound like it.]

Are you going to be the one to hold him down for me then?

voice;

[undoing.livejournal.com]

If you'd like.

[ angel. ]

I don't think that'll be necessary. He'll figure out things on his own soon...I think. Thanks though, really.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

Anytime. Who is this guy? Friend of yours from home?

voice;

[so_shik]

...sort of. He's one of my best friends from home. [A beat.] He was my boyfriend for two years here.

voice;

[undoing.livejournal.com]

Does he remember it? Being your boyfriend.

voice;

[so_shik]

No. He doesn't remember anything about this place yet.

[ he's going to lock this convo now. ]

Seems like we're in something of a similar boat. Not with remembering this place, but remembering in general.

[so_shik]

Does Cordelia not remember everything you remember either?

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

She's from three years in my past.

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[so_shik]

...that almost evens out. Ow. Are you...you know. Are you eventually going to tell her everything?

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

No. We've already discussed that spoiler policy, and frankly a lot of what happens in that three year gap are things I'd rather not rehash, let alone be the one to tell her about. It's best if she doesn't know what the future holds for her.

[ jasmine. death. etc. ]

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[so_shik]

And you don't think she's ever going to want to toss that policy out the window and demand answers?

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

She knows better. Cordy knows me well enough to get that once I've set my mind on something, getting me to change it is close to impossible.

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[so_shik]

That's a relief at least.

...she's really nice, you know. Cordelia, I mean. I know she'll do what she can to make sure you're happy here. Does it make you feel better at all?

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

To have her here? Yeah. She's one of the few people I'd rather be here than at home.

[ because cordelia's fate was not a pretty one, no matter the work she did with the powers following her demise. ]

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[so_shik]

Well yeah...being alive is usually preferred. But it's going to be a lot of work, isn't it?

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

She's worth it.

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[so_shik]

...so's he. Neku, I mean. I guess what I'm saying is I get it. In a weird way.

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

All's fair in love and really messed up timelines.

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[so_shik]

Anything I can do to help somehow?

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

Don't let her talk you into anything too extravagant. Or footwear excessive.

[ not what she was asking, but carry on. keep avoiding your ~felings~ like a not healthy person. ]

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[so_shik]

I think you really have to worry about that being the other way around. I'm the designer here. And you know that's not what I meant, so try again. [Sorry, we're not letting you off that easily, sir.]

voice; | filtered to angel + shiki.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

[ ...why does he keep finding and collecting women who can see right through his bullshit? HUFF. ]

I've got it. There's nothing you can do beyond not letting anything slip about her death or my son. I'll tell her about that soon. ...which on that note, keep her from doing something stupid when she reacts - and she will - badly to that.
