[Accidental Video]

[Rido's mismatched eyes slide over to the side of the room, and his mouth twists into a look of slight disgust.]

You. I thought I was rid of you.

[He pauses, his head tilting slightly as if listening, but the room remains quiet.]

Why?

[The corner of his mouth quirk into what could only be called a sardonic mocking smile.]

Don't you know~? Come now, Haruka... don't be so stupid. You're as much to blame, little brother. None of us are 'innocent'...

[His eyes drift to stare at nothing as he leans back in his chair, retreating deeply into his fevered thoughts.]

No.......

You were the one who was the mistake. I should have taken care of things centuries before...


[ooc: Rido is cursed with 'Ghost World'. Having a private moment being haunted by the ghost of his brother.]

I can't believe I'm - Truth or Dare?

[Stirring from his thoughts, he looks over at the network device with a blank expression.]

... what?

[He graces her with a slight smile of recognition and past good times.]

Oh, Mercy. How nice~.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm cursed.

*amused vampire*

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Is that so.

Re: *amused vampire*

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Great, huh?

*had Not been paying attention*

[council-king.livejournal.com]

What is it this time?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I have to play truth ot dare.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

And how's that going for you~

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's a real pain.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

I bet.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Still, what can you do?

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Why don't you change~?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[For some reason that sent shivers up her spine and not in a good way.]

Oh, I think I'm fine like this, thanks.

[ Watching Ai is just watching... ]

ai = video?

[Rido stays lost in his reverie for but a moment, but Mercy breaks him out of his thoughts and his eyes slide over to stare intently at the device transmitting his every move.

And the faces of those on the other side.]

You. You're... new, aren't you?

video~!

[avengement.livejournal.com]

[ blinks a few times, as if taken aback by the fact that he can see her through the device. She nods, then shifts her eyes to where his eyes were before. ]

video ^^

[The vampire stays silent for a moment, merely giving the girl the smallest of smiles.]

... what's the matter? Cat got your tongue~?

You have my permission to speak. Why don't we start with your name.

[ returns her gaze to him, lingering like she does, as if trying to read through him. She speaks softly, without fear or much emotion other than lethargy. ]

Enma Ai.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

And your age...

[private voice]

[jiyuna_togabito]

That's certainly new to my ears. A brother, hm?

[private voice]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Once.

[His eyes flicker over at the apparition for the briefest of moments.]

He got in my way.

[private voice]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He grinned to the sense of similarity.]

Oh? And just how so? A battle between the Purebloods I take it.

[private voice]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

[His voice is a bit removed as he relives a bit of his past, his facts slightly distorted as he speaks.]

A battle? No, not really... he simply had something I wanted. Something that was mine by right...

I went to retrieve it.

[private voice]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Is it her?

[private voice]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

[Slightly distracted.]

Her?

[private voice]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Your precious relative of course.

[private voice]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

You'll have to be more specific. There were... are two of them.

But yes to your question, I suppose.
