CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: UNFASHIONABLY LATE

[intercom_voice]

[Late into the afternoon, the early risers will find themselves waking up, and the sleep-in types will find themselves sleeping in even longer. All sense of urgency and time has vanished, leaving residents sloth-like or simply too inept to realize how much time is passing. Even when they do realize, well...it's too late now, right?

On top of that, for some reason all the clothing in the building has been replaced with horrible 90s fashion.]

((ooc: The event begins! It will last through the 19th. Feel free to mingle or make your own posts, and you're encouraged to link images of whatever outfit you stick your character in. That's part of the fun!))

[And thus Ryou wasn't wearing anything different than usual, considering he already was a 90s trainwreck. He does look really groggy though, just kind of lingering in the hall without getting much of anywhere at all.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

[O...ho... now this was interesting. And because the already clumsy Ryou is even clumsier... It only takes an accidental brush of tired fingers against the Ring for him to react, that smooth voice whispering inside of Ryou's head.]

You don't look well, Master... do you need some help?

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou straightens up momentairly, a little confused to hear the spirit's voice. He glances downdown and notices his hand, letting out a sigh.]

Please don't call me that, Spirit-kun... I'm just really tired. [Well more like incredibly lazy, really.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

Exhausted, even... poor thing. All this stress... worrying so much over your dear 'friend'... everything's getting so tiresome for you, isn't it? It's only natural. Anyone'd be feeling a little drained.

[He utterly ignores the comment about what to call him.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou nods thoughtlessly, pausing to slump against the wall.]

I thought Rin-chan would be less troublesome overtime, but not much has changed...

[twothirdsthesoul]

[...that wasn't the friend he'd been mentioning, but he could roll with that one.]

Aren't all girls troublesome? Even a robot one's no different.

[onethirdthesoul]

I think robot girls might be even more troublesome... [He heaves a sigh.] Since she's stronger than me...

[twothirdsthesoul]

You know, if it gets to be too troublesome, you could always tag me in... or at least take me aside to vent to. I'm stronger than you after all.

[Despite being in the same body.]

[onethirdthesoul]

I'm not going to put you on... [He's lethargic, not stupid.] I already feel bad enough talking about Rin-chan behind her back like this, I wouldn't want to do that too...

[twothirdsthesoul]

That's fine... the option's always there, though. It's not like I can actually hurt a robot, you know.

[onethirdthesoul]

You could give her, like...a virus or something! I don't know. [He yaaaaawns.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

...a virus? I come from the same as you, remember. I don't even know how viruses work. Let alone robots.

[onethirdthesoul]

You could learn. [Stubbornly.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

How am I supposed to do that? I don't even have an interest in those kinds of things.

[onethirdthesoul]

Well you know how to use my laptop for Monster World...it's probably the same thing.

[IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

[...Ryou. You're being such a pain you don't even know. He thought you were smarter than that.]

It's hardly the same... That's just entering data and reading the results. I learnt how to do that from you, after all...

[onethirdthesoul]

[He totally knows, but anything to not put the Ring back on...]

Well, either way, really...

[twothirdsthesoul]

...either way, what?

[He at least manages to keep some of the irritation from his voice.]

[onethirdthesoul]

Uhhh, you know. [He shrugs and rubs his head.] Either way, I'm not putting the Ring back on.

1/2

[twothirdsthesoul]

...

[twothirdsthesoul]

That's fine, then. I'm sure you can handle this tiredness on your own. You don't need me at all, right? Even though we've been together so long.

[onethirdthesoul]

Ahh... [He's feeling a little pressured.] You make us sound like a married couple, Spirit-san.

[twothirdsthesoul]

...I was thinking more like 'really old friends'. After all, haven't I been watching over you for a long time now? Sharing in your sorrows and joys whether you knew it or not.

[onethirdthesoul]

You've been doing a little more than just sharing...

[Try "causing".]

[twothirdsthesoul]

...

[Well. Time to put up the pressure.]

I can't undo the past. I've apologized... I've offered to try to make amends, but there's nothing I can do while stuck in here. And yet still... every time we talk, it seems to come back down to that. Like you want to punish me for it. To remind me of my sins against you.

How long are you going to hate me for that, Master?
