Seventh Killing Spirit 〰 [Accidental Video]
[A nice clean living room is broadcasting, showing a couch and a coffee table, and the edge of a TV. Upon the Coffee table is a gathering of legos and a somewhat elaborate diorama of an ocean and lands of some sort as well as a toy horse. There are a few clothes hanging by the window to dry, despite it not being open. It's too cold for that. The bizarre thing about all of this might not be noticeable to just anyone, but those who know him or have been in his apartment may recognize the clothes hanging up belong to America.
That's right. This clean apartment is America's.
Scared yet?
Don't worry. The world hasn't ended. You've not been drugged and you're not hallucinating.
There is the sound of footsteps for a moment before Tatsumi is seen, wearing a dark apron that he is borrowing from the Northern Lights, and is holding a few folded towels. Off screen he goes again for a few moments, where a cupboard door can be heard opening and closing, before he crosses back and flops onto the couch.
SNAP!
Tatsumi falls sideways and rolls down the couch as it tilts. As soon as he can, he jumps to his feet and darts his eyes around in shock. The werepire relaxes when he realizes it was simply the poor abused couch's leg finally giving away.]
Oh.
Oops.
I guess I forgot about that...
[He sighs a bit tiredly before adjusting his apron and walking off screen again.]

[IDK about anyone else but Cube just :| at America. BUT IDK IF AMERICA COULD MENTION IT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT TOO CAUSE RGTDGJNHKJNPLAYERCESTishBADFJBGDNJBNFKJN]
I don't know. I asked them for some ear plugs and they didn't give me squat but who knows. If the scientists like ya enough, maybe they'll give ya a ball.
[I never seen Twilight all the way I lost intrest... BUT I NEED TO WATCH SHUTTER ISLAND. OMFG I FORGOT. LET ME GET IT RIGHT-FREAKING-NOW!!
No sharks. Just SHADOWS OF ORCAS and strange men with harpoons. OH GOD!!!
I watch some weird crap, ok? Plus, this thread is awesome. Tey're so totally retarded and gey. It's amazing.]
( action )
[ I once validated a hiatus by sticking America and another of my characters in a bottle together. America will probably end up meeting Karkat. I am the worst person when it comes to avoiding playercesting. ]
I just gotta appeal to them... somehow! I'll think of something.
[ You are a saner person than I.
.......shadows of orcas what even. ]
( action )
[I don't mind it, personally but I remember being made fun of for it before s-so I avoid it at all costs now.]
You won over my heart... how hard can it be for them? Just.... make sure not to die right before you request it, like I did, or they'll use your death as an excise not to give you anything.
[He pouts, remembering that. He kinda doesn't like thinking about it, actually.
I don't know about "saner" but I do know that I am very uncultured and live under a rock... so it tends to make me appear innocent. *THUMBS UP*
THE RETURN OF THE ORCAS... PART 2... or something.]
( action )
'Course not! That's what people who care about each other do!
[ He interrupts the petting to ruffle Tatsumi's hair affectionately. ]
Don't think we're gonna have to worry about that. I get pretty banged up, but ever since I've gotten my chip out, nothing's been strong enough to really off me. Nothing really can back home, so I dunno if the same applies here or not.
[ I was sober for both Twilight movies. If that isn't insane, I don't know what is. ]
( action )
I know I'm really strong normally... It'd be cool to see who was stronger, but I'd just heal right away, so it wouldn't be too fair, I guess.
[I think you've unlocked some kind of achievement with that one. lmao]
( action )
We'll have to have a tournament or something! I might not heal fast, but I can jump around on planes and lift cars and stuff! None of those are here, so we're gonna have to improvise.
[ Here it comes. While petting Tatsumi, he launches into his fucking absurd ideas. ]
We could have the super heroes like, use their powers to summon cars so that we can see who can lift the most, and for the flying thing, we'll just have jet packs that we can use to do epic sky-battles in and stuff! I'm gonna have to train though; gotta get back up to doing at least 400 push-ups!
( action )
You can lift cars? What kind?
[He is patient and listens and even chuckles a little before opening his eyes, remembering something]
Oh yea! That reminds me!! Tetsu said he wanted to see you lift a building. He got all excited and stuff and went on about how you could do it. Think you really could? I could help ya get back into shape. I'm a pretty good trainer and stuff!!!
( action )
I dunno! Any kind?
[ This is a terrible idea. That is exactly why America is excited about it. ]
I've never tried that before! I probably could, once I'm back in shape! Hopefully that won't take too long...
[ His free hand comes up to his stomach: the muscle tone has depleted, leaving him slightly on the pudgy side. Somehow, even though Discedo is practically its own diet, he can't seem to lose the weight. It's a curse.
And wow I just noticed he said "course not" to "would you take care of me." UH. PRETEND IT WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE... I mentally inserted a "mind" somewhere in Tatsumi's sentence. YES I AM EDITING SPECIFICALLY TO CLARIFY I'M ANAL ABOUT MY WRITING dsjal;rftgh ]
( action )
It depends on how weight and stuff works for Nations. I'm pretty lucky, because I was already fit and everything when I got turned, but I'm also not really dead, so that makes me even cooler.
[Yellow eyes watch as America focuses on his pudge a little. The attention brings Tatsumi to touch it himself and pat it with a smile]
Ya! We can do it! Lets start tomorrow!! I'll be your trainer!!! I'll make your meals and make sure you don't wimp out and stuff!
[I figured as much. It's alright!! Really!!! ACK! Tatsumi's speech has me putting more exclamation marks on everything ever. D:>]
( action )
I can never lose weight. I dunno why! I go on diets and exercise and everything back home! It's just stuck with me for decades.
[ Sigh. Pause. ]
And it's good to know you're not really dead, otherwise I'd feel creepy doin' ya.
[ America sucks in a breath to make his stomach flat. It's how he imagines it should look!!! ;w; ]
Awesome! Sounds like a plan! I'm gonna be fit in no time, and then I'll be thin and hip!! And I'll be able to lift a building!
[ Exclamation points just seem to be a favorite for these two. ]
( action )
Then it must be different for countries and nations and stuff. Have you asked others about it?
[Tatsumi laughs at America's comment]
Ya! I never died. That's how Werewolves work. Our blood changes but we never actually die. That's why there are so few of us!
[He watches the sad attempt and salutes the other with a grin. It is amusing, after all.]
Can't over do it, though. Then you'll get more then a nice stitch design on your butt.
( action )
I don't like talking about my weight to them. They always call me fat. Even the fat ones, like Russia. And I'm not fat I just have bad metabolism okay.
[ sob his life. ]
I still don't get this whole werepire thing or how it works or why you can't be a wolf, but okay! As long as I'm not a creeper, I'm good!
[ America snorts. His stomach is still sucked in as he tries to talk. ]
I can take it! Besides, I'll probably end up with something cool. Like a bruise in the shape of a bald eagle. How cool would that be?
( action )
[What are you, America? In grade school? DO you have a boo boo on your ego? Here, let Tatsumi kiss it for you or something, idek]
Maybe I'll explain it another time, ya? I mean, it can get complicated. Just know I'm stronger then normal shiki because I didn't die and they did.
[How mean but he figures he might as well say it in a way America MIGHT understand]
Speaking of bruises, how is your butt doing? You've fallen on it a few times already...
( action )
I know. Because I'm the best and most awesome, they've gotta find something to nitpick at. And my weight's the easiest target!
[ See, this is why they work. Tatsumi is willing to cater to America's ego. Ohhh how he loves to hear how great he is. ]
Well anyway, I'm glad you didn't!
Oh, yeah. The stitches.
[ He shifts slightly. ]
Hurt like a bitch, but I'm starting to get used to 'em. And I've stopped scratching even though they're kinda itchy too! Maybe I can score some better meds from the hospital.
( action )
[Tatsumi is going to cater to his ego for as long as it works. XD For the moment, the werepire looks down, towards America's bum]
Do ya want me to rub it for ya?
[His hand conveniently falls close]
( action )
[ Or if they attack him, in which case he flips out. But that's another story for other decades. ]
Wouldn't that make it hurt even more? I mean, it's pretty sore, and it hurts when I have to clean the wound.
[ Groping is all fun and games until someone has been stabbed in the ass by a cow. ]
( action )
How does that work, even? I mean, I'm your secret service body guard and stuff... so I should be able to protect ya from other countries, ya?
[At least America DOES have a heart. It's big enough to make up for the lack of one in Tatsumi.]
Well, I guess it would hurt... but I could always be gentle and just rub some anti-itch cream on it or something. I think there is even an anti-itch spray if ya really don't want me petting your butt.
[He grins, obviously playing.]
( action )
Since my boss isn't here, I guess that'd make you my number one back up! And body guard, if you want, but that'd be kinda weird. I think it'd be more like... you being a soldier, since they're the ones that really fight for me.
[ It is at this point you should be imagining two serious-faced, well-built men in suits buying a hippie America ice cream in the park while he whines about how Nixon keeps telling him to go make friends with China. That is his life. ]
Yeah, but I dunno where the itch cream is...
[ WHAT AN ASSHOLE yes that was a bitchy comment at the cleanness of his apartment. He actually doesn't seem to realize it himself and just continues on with a smile. ]
But I sure wouldn't be against it!
( action )
[Intermission time, then.]
I put it with all the other first-aid supplies and placed them in the bathroom. I'll go get it!
[He jolts up and goes to do just that. What is exhaustion anyway? He returns shortly with a small tube]
Ya! See how fast that was? Easy!!
( action )
[ I... I love you more than words can articulate.
America doesn't really comment on the "easy" thing, since it's going to take him time to get used to the new system, but he moves to stand, bracing against the broken couch to do so. ]
Ow. Man, shouldn't have sat on that...
[ And I guess just tugging down the boxers to bare his ass (yet again), grumbling about how the couch has it out for him.
If Namine walked in right now, it would require either much explaining, or not at all. ]
( action )
You fell on it a few times. It'll be ok, I'll get ya some breakfast and then you can sit in the bed for a little while until I knock the legs off the couch.
But first...
[Tatsumi kneels down and opens the tube to apply the cream. Wow, this would... really be awkward if anyone were to walk in. XD]
You know, it's kinda weird to tend to wounds like this... since I never really get them... or didn't. [Chips suck]
( action )
[ America sees NOTHING WRONG with this situation. Then again, he gets naked, puts on cat ears, and carried a naked Lithuania around on Christmas. He's a special case.
Twitching away slightly from the hand because COLD OINTMENT SORE WOUND OW. ]
Really? You ever get 'em when you were a human? Or did ya just not get into the risky business until... uh, after.
[ Actually, America is intrigued about Tatsumi's human life. He's not tactful so it will come up eventually. ]
( action )
[The twitching amuses him and he grins. If only he could be sadistic... right now isn't the time. Siiiigh. He'll just rub it in a little, very very gently, taking a few strokes more before pulling away]
Ya! I got them sometimes. No more then anyone else, I guess. I've done lots of jobs, though. They all had their own risks, too. I got hit once right before a nice ride. I'm surprised I lived that one but my motorcycle didn't.
[HEADCANON ISH GO! Watch me fail~!]
( action )
America's about ask more about human!Tatsumi, but he's quickly preoccupied by something else. ]
You had a bike? Was it a Harley?!
( action )
Nah. I didn't get a Harley until much later. I miss her.
[I Really can't tell hat kind of bike he has from the pictures given but I enjoy the fanon that I've seen of him drawn with a Harley so HE HAD A HARLEY. THERE]
