004 ☆ Video

[Kotetsu can be seen, sitting at what looks like a coffee table. He’s without a shirt, and bandages are wrapped here and there obscuring defined, tanned muscles along his chest and arms. His normally well kempt hair is disheveled.

He appears to have just woken up from a long, forced nap.

Damn this place. He lifts a small object from the table.

[voice] also GET OUT

[fiveminutefail]

Bunny is that--?

[AND HE SIGHS. Of course it isn't.]

I know that, I just wanted to see him before he did.

[voice] ajskald fine >|

[fiveminutefail]

Shut up. You just can't hear it, okay?

[Grumble grumble. Go away, Ichigo.

But that's... a really hideous suggestion.]

It's not really the same... it still means he's gone.

[...Oh. She feels kind of bad for him, and for once...doesn't have anything to say other than:]

Are you okay?

[She knows they were partners, and...that had to hit him hard.]

[fiveminutefail]

[He tries his hand at a grin, not wanting to worry Blue Rose with his problems like this.]

Of course! I'm fine... [He pauses.] He really wanted to go home, so I'm happy for him.

[toweltreasuring]

I wasn't asking about him - I know he'll be fine.

[There is a little bit of an attitude there, but he doesn't let it show too much. This wasn't the time for it, after all...but it means she does care, really.]

I was asking about you.

[fiveminutefail]

I know that...

[He huffs defensively, almost like a child would.]

But I'm fine, really. Absolutely perfect!

[He's definitely coming on a little too strong with the false happiness there.]

[congratulating]

[Sky High stretches his head. He does not remember going to sleep, but it seems as though he has. John is there to greet him, wagging his tail a little. The Hero pats him on the head before leaving his room to see what his other roommates are up to -- it is about this time that he hears all that Mister Wild is saying.

He blinks. Once.]

Mister Barnaby is gone?

[He drops the toy robot in surprise, but scrambles quickly to right it once again.]

Sky High! Were you sleeping, too?

[He turns the toy on again, the lights and sounds a little comforting.]

He found his way home before we woke up...

action;

[congratulating]

Yes. And again, yes.

[His eyes widen just a little, then he looks down.]

I see. We should be happy for him, then, yes? For it is not as though we lost a friend, but rather, we are saying, 'See you soon.' Isn't that right, Mister Wild?

action;

[fiveminutefail]

Want some coffee, then?

[He points behind him toward the kitchen, but is quick to refocus on the toy with a sigh.]

"See you," huh? [A faint chuckle.] Yeah, you're right! He'll come back, and we'll just have to be here to welcome him.

[Video] I can't help but interact with all of the T&B cast...

[pink_star_rider]

[So, you sad? THAT WONT DO. Kirby won't have it.]

Ah, friend go missing?

[Video] yaaay <3 also kirby is so cute sob

[fiveminutefail]

[What a... strange little creature.]

I think he went home, and he didn't even say goodbye or anything...

[Video] Sometimes, is hard to keep up with his adorableness <3

[pink_star_rider]

Ah...

[Kirby sounds a little bit bummed by that, but tries to perk up almost instantly.]

Ah, human no feel bad! Everyone go back home, all time. Sometimes no say time to say goodbye.

[Video]

[fiveminutefail]

I see...

[He pouts momentarily, but can't help but smile at the bubbly little creature he's talking with.]

I'll just keep his gift and give it to him for Christmas! Maybe he'll be back by then.

[savesthedance]

....Your friend left? [He bites his lower lip. He knows how hard that can be, he really does.]

Sorry to hear that.

video;

[fiveminutefail]

Thank you, but... it's fine.

[He nods slowly.] He didn't want to be here, anyway.

video;

[savesthedance]

Who does? [Well, him for one, but that's not really the common thought among the people stuck here.]

video;

[fiveminutefail]

You have a point there.

[He wants to go home too, more than anything, but at the same time he doesn't want to leave any of his colleagues and friends behind.]

I'll just keep this here for him if he comes back.
