[Video] un: foxtales

[byanyother_name]

[The initial video opening just displays a new sign on the wall of the common room. It looks like someone managed to find a piece of whiteboard and an erasable marker to incorporate into the sign. What does the sign say?

10 weeks without murder

Yes, you read that right. The whiteboard part is where the 10 is written with marker. It's clearly been made to be regularly updated. Kurama's voice when he speaks is...close to his usual calm tones but a little tense.]

Many of the people here will wonder why this sign is needed. The people who need it know why. I am one of the first group to fall through the Fissures, so this encompasses the entire history we know of of outsiders in this world.

I'm going to keep it updated appropriately, since...there might be more of us, apparently.

I would like to ask that no one tamper with the sign except for accurate updates. This is not a prank and it is not for pranks. It's for people that have suffered.

[Well. That's rather straight to the point, isn't it?

For people that have suffered... what the hell? And then he sees Kurama's response to Futaba and... that sounds like hell. (A hell he inflicted on someone. To see the lasting psychological effects, even if it's not his son, makes his stomach churn.]

Let us hope that number only continues to grow.

[... haaaaa so guess who's still half-expecting to get killed by his son]

[Kurama is feeling pretty pointy right about now. He found out some things that didn't agree with him Thursday night.

Some other things he's found out that don't agree with him; this man is Masayoshi Shido. He thinks the likelihood of more than one person by that name having appeared here this particular Fissure trip is vanishingly small.]

I agree. So I would appreciate it if you didn't give Goro too many opportunities to try to kill you.

[It's definitely a lot cooler than the last time they spoke. But at least it's still polite?]

[



well.

That's rather to the point.]

...hah. So you're one of his friends, are you?

[The smirk quickly fades.]

I do not want my blood on his hands either. I will do what I can to ensure it doesn't come to that.

[Friends. It's not untrue, but it's still pretty far from the actual truth of the matter. But Kurama is not going to out Goro to the father he hates, when Shido finds out any of that is Goro's choice.]

I am. Goro is important to me.

[Kurama's green eyes are sharp and searching on the other end of the video feed. There's something very unemotionally calculating about it, no matter how out of place it may seem on an apparent teenager.]

If I may ask a question. How much of that is because it is your blood, and how much because it is his hands?

[makejapangreat]

[Those eyes seem to pierce right into his soul, but he matches the gaze quietly, evenly.]

I do not want to see him with blood on his hands for a murder he was not forced to commit.

[Does that answer your question, Kurama?]

[byanyother_name]

[Given that the look fades into something more neutral, it would seem that it does.]

Good. That's something we have in common, then. As long as your intentions remain non-harmful, so will I.

My only stake in this is Goro and Akira's well-being.

[makejapangreat]

... then perhaps you can tell me something.

How do you think I can best help him?
