Who is this mysterious person on the network?

[deathboss]

[Someone felt that his permanent blue hair dye stood out a little too much for his now confused brain. He remembers wanting to start a band...but that wouldn't make sense. He hates the public eye. Better to move mostly unnoticed in the crowds. But don't they excite him? He'd have every reason to want to go out...No wait. They make him uneasy....right?

There's a quiet look of surprise when he realizes he has turned the video on against his better judgement. Wearing the most boring shirt imaginable, he tries to speak out like he usually does, but fails, closing his mouth after leaving it open for a few seconds. He knows he should be talking about how awesome he is but...while he REMEMBERS having no problems with this...he also remembers not being a very social kind of guy? Seriously, what's the point bragging about yourself?

In fact, why did he even bother opening this?]

Sorry.

[At least his voice is the same, if not utterly devoid of the usual Michel panache...Just apologize and close the feed.

Perfect.

Man, he's got a monster headache.]

[Despite thinking he usually does the contrary, despite the fact that part of him things he shouldn't be doing it, Eikichi slowly smiles at him. Dunno it just...feels right.]

Yeah. I'll make sure to call you that.

[Wait a minute...]

Train? You mean like....physical education?

Hooooooo....uh no problem....

[Somehow his echoing of her words are a lot less enthusiastic. But it feels like something he has said before.]

How does it feel to go out in the public? [Somehow it feels safe to talk with her.] I remember liking it before...things happened.

Duh. [He said it as if it were the most obvious thing ever.]

It takes a lot of training to be part of the Order. Did you think it was a cakewalk?

[He shrugs.]

Sort of...I guess....blue was too flashy.

video, private

[deathboss]

[That didn't sound right at all.]

The Order?

[He couldn't bring himself to say the masquerade]

video, private

[nemophila]

[Well, he didn't understand the need for private, but--]

Yes; the Jedi Order. [duuuuuuuuh??] That's why I left when we were so little, don't you remember?

In public? I... [She frowns thoughtfully. Why is this such a difficult question to answer?] I like it! Having all eyes on me! It's...

[No, that's the last thing she wants. Ever since the incident with her mother, she's gone out of her way to avoid people. It's easier for everyone, she's always thought, if she just keeps her distance. Just like Hotaru taught her to do.]

...I never used to. But that's changed lately.

Is that what we're calling those demons that were all over the place back home now? Or do you mean something else?

I thought flashy was your thing...
