Heaven’s BBS | Video

[toremainbehind]

From: Goten
Date: September 24

[Surprisingly, Goten’s name pops on the network, and at first, the video shows nothing but voices can be heard: Goten’s and a deeper voice that may sound familiar to some.

It’s not long before Goten notices the device and his face pops up, looking excited.]

Hey! Everybody! I found him! He’s still here! I found him, I found him! Look!

[The device bops with Goten’s bouncing as he moves it to show a familiar blond, practically shoving the camera into Izumo’s face.

Izumo looks at the camera, lifting a hand in a sort of wave.]

It seems I’ve caused a bit of a ruckus when I left, if what Goten told me is right. [A glance at Goten before he looks back at the camera, giving a smile.]

Sorry for that.

[Goten’s hair is practically the only thing viewable of him as he holds the camera more on Izumo like he’s going to disappear otherwise.]

You should invite everyone to your new place and make something yummy. I betcha they’d like that.

[Izumo chuckles, ruffling his hair.]

Right. Anyway, [He looks back at the camera.] for now, you can find me at my bar, Double Cross. I doubt I’ll end up disappearing anytime soon with Goten clinging onto me.

[Actually, there’s a bit of a pause and he has to look at Goten.]

My bar is still in one piece, right?

Uhhhm…..I dunno, I think Shizuo was pretty upset you were gone to…

[That doesn’t make it assuring.

Izumo sighs out and gives a nod to the camera.]

In any case, if anyone of you want to find me, I’ll be there. [And with that, the video ends.]

I...don't think they're endless...?

[He's really not sure]

But if you don't take breaks and have fun, won't you go crazy? I don't think you're much older then me, right? What do you like to do besides duty stuff?

[cieled]

Why wouldn't they be? Can you envision the gods taking a vacation?

(People always pray for something.)

I can take care of myself. I will not "go crazy". (He purses his lips.) I like games and reading. Hunting isn't so bad either.

[sonofson]

Yeah! We can help each other with prayers and stuff! I've done it lots of times. Shinkis can even do some prayers for their gods without needing their god with them. So you can go on vacation!

[Goten grins a bit. Really Ciel needs to relax. He's too uptight for not even being around for that long]

We can play some games together sometime! Uh, I donno anything about hunting...I can fish!

[cieled]

That is entirely irresponsible. I would never take leave of my business so haphazardly.

(He takes his duties seriously, okay. How does he act like a kid again anyway? He has forgotten.)

What games do you like?

[sonofson]

You wouldn't trust your shinki? If anything happened, we got phones...

[He really doesn't see the issue with it but okay.]

Hide n' seek, tag, sparring...lots of stuff! What about you, Ciel?

[cieled]

I barely know him. The soulless one is more a stranger than a friend or ally as well.

(He is Victorian. He doesn't trust or rely on telephones.)

Sparring we could do. I like Chess too.

[sonofson]

I wouldn't mind helping you with some prayers if you ever needed. Break or not! Kairi and me can tag team some for you even!

[Though he perks at the chance to spar.]

That'd be fun! Are you really strong? I train lots.

[Mostly because it's fun to him. He's not sure how skilled Ciel is, but he's willing to believe he's great! Goten is just excited with the idea of hanging out and playing.]

I've never played Chess before either.

[cieled]

That is a kind offer. I would be happy to return the favor. (He might as well. If the ayakashi attack in all earnestness, he could use help. He knows he lacks in physical might and using his power could have...complications.)

No, I am not. But I can spar with a rapier. (He can be quick, but his depth perception is not the best.)

I could teach you. It's a game of cunning and skill.

[sonofson]

Sure!

[Goten has no issue with that. Prayers are just fun and a way to help a possible friend.]

What's a rapier? I don't use weapons but I'm fine with sparring if you wanna still use it. Hitsu uses a sword a lot.

[Oh! Oh! That sounds really interesting. Something with skill and cunning....whatever that is. It's the way Ciel says it has his attention]

Yeah! If it's fun then I wanna learn! Hope you're a good teacher!

[He grins, clearly thrilled]

[cieled]

(Some of the prayers are hard for him to hear considering his past, but he does his best to acknowledge those worthy of it.)

It is a thin sword used specifically for sparring. (Noble sparring anyway.) I can teach you the techniques of it. If you spar right, it is like a game.

(He flushes faintly.) I also have other board games that are likely more fun. (For Goten.)

[sonofson]

Okay! Let's do it then! I wanna learn from you and play.

[He's eager to try! It sounds like fun. Ciel sure seems to know a lot.]

We can try the board games too. You gotta have fun too. I donno how much fun it is for you to teach me stuff--but I'll do my best! Promise!

[cieled]

Fine by me. (He has been taking lessons from a demon for a handful of years! Clearly he is the best at everything.)

I don't mind teaching you. If I did, I wouldn't have offered. (Plus there's the fun of him feeling superior.) When are you free?

[sonofson]

Anytime! Whenever you are.

[Despite being shinki to a god, he's still a kid so his days are pretty much always free. For the most part.]

I got all my homework done so whenever you feel up to it, Ciel!
