Fourth Death 〰 [Video]

[The screen whirls into focus, showing Tatsumi with a bright smile and sunglasses on, despite the bandage tape across his nose]

Ya! Who is up for a talent show? Kotomi-chan and I thought it'd be a fun to see all the sort of things everyone is capable of.

Is there anyone in charge of the High School? I noticed the auditorium could use some fixing up. I'd be more than happy to help with that if it means we can host a talent show there!

In fact, I found some things that-

[His smile drops into a surprise, as he looks around a the empty table-top before him.]

What happened to all the stuff?

What stuff..?

[Tatsumi sighs before he turns to face Kotomi, who is standing behind him]

All the stuff we found while making the map.

[Kotomi just returns a blank gaze, tilting her head slightly sideways as if she has no idea what he's talking about.]

... Stuff?

[The taller of the two wilts, his strange hair tips seeming to droop ever so slightly]

You know, the snacks and soups and mugs and...things. Where did they go? You were carrying them a moment ago.

[There's that same blank stare for a few moments, her gaze shifting from Tatsumi to her hands (perhaps to make sure they're really empty) and then behind her.]

...

Huh. I wonder where they went off to...

[There is a huff and the feed ends as Tatsumi turns it off before anything else is broadcast]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ It's a good thing that Kotomi is too busy being nearly numb from the whole situation, since it keeps her from seeing just exactly how brutally Tatsumi is taking the monster down. She does, however, notice a bit of it and it's quite unlike the sort of fighting she had expected out of him. And somehow, even though the creature is dead she still feels sort of scared.

Kotomi is shaking and shivering all over from the encounter and frankly even looks like she's about to start crying. After a moment she manages to nod weakly. ]

I'm.. not hurt..

[Tatsumi kills his smile, seeing the look on Kotomi's face. He really didn't want to upset her more. He Wipes his hands on the sides of his jumper, feeling the stinging pain from the broken skin.

Walking over, he motions her to come hither.]

Good. Let's just forget the stuff and head back, okay?

O.. of course..

[ She somehow manages to get up and walk a few steps so that she's closer to Tatsumi again, although it's rather slowly. She's still shaking a little bit, not to mention she's not lifting her gaze from the ground. ]

Um.. Are you a-alright, too..?

Nothing I can't handle.

[He waits for her to move. It feels like forever, though. Looking her over, it's obvious Kotomi can't handle real fighting.]

Do you feel well enough to walk on your own or... should I carry you?

[ She shakes her head, a little bit more quickly than her usual reactions. ] I'll be fine.. Don't worry.

[ It are times like these that make her long back to her safe home, her safe library, her safe garden. And to Tomoya, who took her by the hand and led her out of her solitary house and now disappeared once again and left her alone in this big scary world.

She finally dares to lift her face again to look at Tatsumi. ]

Um.. Thank you.. for saving me.

Okay.

[He walks back with her, as fast as she'll go.]

Ya! You're welcome.

I'm used to stuff like this.

[ She isn't exactly up to full speed yet, but at least she's trying to come as close to her regular speed as much as she can. ]

Are you saying that this kind of thing happens a lot to you..?

[Tatsumi sighs, not sure why he said such a thing in passing. So, he takes a step or two of time before responding]

Sort-of. Is it really that surprising? Isn't there dangerous animals where you're from, Kotomi-chan?

[ It's not like Kotomi notices the slight pause anyway. ]

There are, but they're usually found in unpopulated areas like forests or deserts. Usually far away from hone..

Unpopulated...

Well, we are in a strange place, far from our homes.

But, like I said, don't worry! I can handle things pretty well. It was one scary thing... [That was sooo fun to beat the life out of]

Think you can bandage my hands when we're inside?

[ You are so lucky to have found the most oblivious person that ever existed, Tatsumi. She sort of missed the part where you were super happy about beating the crap out of the monster. ]

Yes, you're pretty strong. I'm sorry, I can't fight like you..

[ She nods. ] Do they.. hurt a lot?

[Oh, he'll realize in time how 'lucky' he is]

Well, everyone has their own style of fighting... but you looked pretty upset. It was a good thing we didn't split up.

Ha ha! Ya, just a little. It's nothing compared to my nose.

I.. was scared.. I've never seen a real monster before, even here.

I'll try to take care of them. As a thank you.

Ya? [That explains a lot]

Good, it'll be hard to work on them, since they're my hands. Do you have stuff or should we stop by where I'm staying?

I don't think I have it.. Would it be okay to go to where you're staying first..?

Ya! I'll lead the way...

[And he does, opening the doors for her along the way, despite his scratched up hands]

It's just Toku-kun and I, but I can't imagine why he'd mind us borrowing the first aid kit.

Toku-kun?

[ By now she has for the biggest part regained her regular attitude instead of the tense mood she had been in just now. ]

Your roommate? Must be fun..

Ya! He's a really nice guy.

[That's good cause his sadistic side has faded a bit. :(]

He helped me out, like you did, when I first got here. We even got stuck under that mistletoe stuff. It was embarrassing. Ha ha!

He does sound like a kind person, if he helped you that much.. Just like how Sunohara-kun helped me.

I'm glad Tatsumi-san is making good friends.

Ya, me too. I was afraid I wouldn't make any friends here...

[He leads her to his dwelling. It's an efficiency so it doesn't take Tatsumi much time to walk over to the bathroom and get the first aid kit and bring it back]

I'm surprised Kotomi-chan lives all by herself. Doesn't it get scary for you?

You didn't have to worry about it. Good people get good friends.

[ Once he has fetched the first aid kit Kotomi looks through it for some bandages. At his question, however, she looks at him for a moment with a blank expression. Then her gaze slightly drops and she goes back to looking through the kit while she answers. ]

I've lived alone for a long time, so.. it isn't really scary anymore.

Ya.

[Tatsumi watches her as she digs through the kit, making sure his hands were out and ready to be cared for. When she gazes at him briefly he stays quiet and stares back, waiting. His smile forms back onto his face once she explains, though]

Ha ha! Then it's no wonder you live alone. A roommate would be strange if you're not used to sharing space with someone. But I like Toku-san. He's sweet and even has hamsters! [His hair does that wiggle thing it's not supposed to do]

Edited 2011-01-11 13:27 (UTC)

Hamsters..? That sounds.. sort of cute..

[ She stares at the wiggling hair once again in fascination, and decides to further research it this time - which means that she's reaching out to touch the hair-ears without any sign or warning or even explanation in advance. ]

Ya! Two of them. He named them Ham and Meatball or something...

[This is when he pulls back and stares at her questionably. He knows what she's after but he acts clueless]

What're you doing?

Edited 2011-01-12 23:56 (UTC)

[ As an explanation Kotomi traces the shape of Tatsumi's ear-hair above her own head before wiggling her fingers a little bit. ]

It goes wiggle-wiggle.
