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!))

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?

[onethirdthesoul]

...P-please stop calling me "Master". [Ryou huddles up seeming chilled by those words. Trusting the spirit was a bad idea...]

[twothirdsthesoul]

Then, answer me... please. Why do you want to hurt me so badly, Ryou?

[He lets a piteous note enter his voice.]

[onethirdthesoul]

I'm not--I mean, I don't! [His voice is still tired, but he's pleading now.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

So why do you keep driving that in? It's fine if you don't want to let me in control, but you don't need to be so cruel...

[Ah, how cute... His little master sounds so upset.]

I just want to help... R y o u.

[He draws the name out languidly.]

[onethirdthesoul]

If you wanted to help, then you'd just leave me alone! [The words come out before he can stop them, and he slaps his hands over his mouth the moment they end.]

Oh no...

[twothirdsthesoul]

...how cruel.

[He even manages to sound hurt.]

You hate me that much? You're the one that won't let go... I can't go anywhere... because I'm stuck in here. All alone... inside my lonely, lonely prison. Because I'm helpless here... I can't even talk unless you're touching me. So it's not me that's unable to leave anyone alone.

If you want rid of me so badly... get rid of the Ring. I'll be sad to lose you... but you never wanted me around anyway, right? Just the expensive, pretty trinket I'm trapped in.
