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.]

[ Oh sure... except the cleanness is the only thing he's noticing. "The couch broke" is only vaguely processed. America's kinda wandering around, his hands hovering over clean surfaces where perfectly legitimate dishes and shit used to be. ]

WHAT DID YOU DO?! IT'S... IT'S CLEAN!

[ He pauses at the shirts. His shock seems to be abated for a moment while he smells it, but he goes right back to freaking out. ]

Hey, that actually smells good-- BUT NOW HOW AM IS SUPPOSED TO FIND MY STUFF?! WHERE ARE THE CUPS?!
starspangledhero: (This isn't funny Dean!)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-02-15 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
WHY WOULD YOU PUT CUPS IN THE CUPBOARD?! THAT'S JUST... SILLY!

[ Size 4 font forever. And yes, he is indeed running around the room. ]

That's not the point! Now I dunno where anything is 'cause I put it in a place where I knew I'd find it but I didn't have a specific place to put it so now it's all chaos, man! Chaos through order and Pinesol!

[ America concludes his whiny rant by falling irritably on the couch

which further cracks under his weight and he falls off.

He ends up on his back, staring in confusion at the ceiling.
]

Oh yeah, the couch is broken.

[ No one would blame you if you laughed, Tatsumi. Except maybe America.

America continues to stare blankly at the ceiling for a bit.
]

Tools are under the bed. Unless you moved those too, then I've got no idea.

[ Pout pout. He frowns at Tatsumi's hand, but still ends up taking it. Of course he mostly gets up on his own because GOOD LUCK HAULING HIS FAT ASS TO HIS FEET. Still, it's the thought that counts. ]

Man, why didn't ya ask me?!
starspangledhero: (She's obviously a vampire!)

Just because it's all over doesn't mean I know where stuff is! It's messy, yeah, but it's a mess that's organized to me!

[ SIGH. He's be more annoyed if you didn't stroke his ego by calling him cute. That's right, keep up with the sweet talk and he'll stop pouting. In the mean time STILL PRETTY IRRITATED. ]

They were in the black duffel bag with the rope and chains!

[ ...which are used for his stable work, before Tatsumi gets ahead of himself. ]

[ Their relationship can apparently survive vampirism and murder, but cleaning house? THAT'S A SPEEDBUMP. Still pouting. ]

Fine! I will!

[ No he won't. He's too lazy and making an apartment that messy is too much effort. America's about to sit on the couch with a huff, but he's not stupid enough to fall for that TWICE.

Oh wait yes he is.

America is now seated on the floor where he's fallen off the couch, again. Now he's flushed with indignation and embarrassment. But he doesn't acknowledge it. He just sits and fumes silently for a moment.

His annoyance deflates a bit with the question, becoming more confused. Isn't it obvious?
]

I work at the stables. What else would I have them for?

[ Yes this was a genuine question. ]

[ That doesn't help his red face at all. Still refusing to make eye contact due to humiliation. He's not even acknowledging his hurt stitches, he's so determined to keep face. Well, as much as he can at this point. ]

'Til I get a new one, anyway.

[ He's not catching on at all. ]

I guess. I used to walk Puppy with the chains, but now that she's gone, I haven't really had much use for 'em.

Maybe later...

[ Which he's replying to, I'm not sure. Probably both.

Pause. Then America turns to face Tatsumi, more curious than angry at this point.
]

Can you actually, like, transform into a wolf?

I remember asking ya that when we first met.

[ Okay, America's lips can't help but twitch into a smile. He can't stand to be in a bad mood for long. The annoyance still lingers and he'll probably keep bitching about it all week, but whatever. He reaches up to touch one of the weird little hair things. ]

I can ask a doctor for ya. The one who took mine out is gone, but I can find someone else.

[ CONGRATS, TATSUMI, HE'S FINALLY BEING OF USE. The stroking of his ear things turns into petting Tatsumi's head. ]

Man, if you could transform, that'd be so rad. We could play fetch! And I wouldn't have to be the one to run and get the ball!

[ .......he... he had a strange childhood, okay. ]
starspangledhero: (Every life is a pile of good things)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-02-16 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! The doctors dig me!

[ Except that is a COMPLETE LIE they probably think he's a troublesome idiot who keeps getting hurt/taking all the drugs/getting other people in the hospital. It's the thought that counts. And who knows, maybe he'll actually be successful.

America: a useful manipulative tool if you can stand to have your plans take the most convoluted road possible.
]

I'm gonna have to find a baseball or something! People in Charge can't be too stingy with that, can they?

[ He leans back against the broken couch and continues to pet Tatsumi. I'm now envisioning something like that baseball tournament in Twilight.

What the hell this thread went from like, freaking out to fighting to cuddling. Next thing you know, a shark will come flying through a window.
]
starspangledhero: (Uh. No. There's really no such thing)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-02-16 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, you're a werepire. I'm guessing the doctors are kinda hesitant about that one. But I can promise 'em you're not bad and that if you get all blood hungry, I've got ya covered!

[ 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.
]
starspangledhero: (I absolutely trust him)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-02-16 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Awww :( that's depressing. ]

'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. ]
starspangledhero: (As long as I can be Dean)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-02-16 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ America wouldn't mind... except then he'd get bored and probably end up playing with the Lego's on Tatsumi's head while he slept. Best boyfriend ever. ]

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!
