六十四 [video || action log for Setsuna || backdated to yesterday morning]

[revengeisalie]

[The video flickers on to show one Rin lying on her futon, with her sleeping yukata a little disheveled and sliding down her shoulders.

But what is this! Lying next to her is one Setsuna F. Seiei in an equally unkempt state, with chocolate smudges on his face

So that's where he was yesterday!

[JUMPS. She was not expecting that.]

[video] 2/3

[revengeisalie]

[Hastily, she goes to find her device as quietly as she can be. Finally, she finds it on her desk, propped up against some books.]

action

[denyinurgod]

[The military training is enough for Setsuna to sense that movement. He quickly sits up, sleepiness disappearing almost instantly, at the same time reaching for the gun beside him...

Except he doesn't have a gun beside him, and these are not his clothes, and this is most definitely not his room.

He raises an arm before him in a defensive position and grits his teeth, glaring at the person beside him. Then it's his turn for his eyes to widen as he recognizes the girl as someone he has actually conversed with on the network several times: Asano Rin.

And then he vaguely remembers hearing of a curse yesterday on the network, and the realization suddenly dawns on him. Not knowing what else to do, he simply stares back.

Awkwaaaard.]

action

[revengeisalie]

[In between speaking to Lockon, Rin has in turn noticed the movement behind her, so after switching the recording to voice, she turns around and meets his stare.]

... ah.

action

[denyinurgod]

[It's not difficult to hear her say the name of his comrade, and he blinks. So the device had been recording, as well (not that he was particularly embarrassed about the situation; he doesn't exactly get embarrassed that easily).

But it does take a long, long pause before he could say something as obvious as:]

This had been a curse.

action

[revengeisalie]

[Rin, however, is still so shells-shocked that she can't even muster a sarcastic retort.]

Yes. It was.

[voice]

[revengeisalie]

Really.

[voice]

[revengeisalie]

The former.

[voice]

[der_freischuetz]

[Laughing at your chocolate self, Setsuna.]

[voice]

[revengeisalie]

[Winces at that, but says nothing.]

[worthier]

I only suggest that you let him go immediately.

[voice]

[revengeisalie]

Sure thing.

... it was the curse.

[worthier]

If I thought differently, I wouldn't be this complacent over it.

You have no memory of what you did to him?

[voice]

[revengeisalie]

Good.

... I'm slowly recollecting.
