video ♔ from apollo ♔ without "i", she's just....hbk

[priforprince]

From: Apollo
Date: October 2nd, evening

[ The feed opens to a pair of green eyes blinking at it, pulling back. At first, the person just seems satisfied that they got the camera pointing the direction they wanted it, but then - ]

This is.....me?

[ It's like the sun dawns. She settles in to just stare. At herself. On her webcam. Content. At peace. ]

Beautiful...........

[ Something in the background sniggers like a kettle boiling. Kicking someone while they're down - say, switching an amnesiac's phone to broadcast when it'd meant to privately record - is apparently perfectea accepteable teahavior. ]

[[ ooc: backdated to the evening of the addpocalypse. hibiki has forgotten everything related to herself, but remembers most other things. she'll be all better the next day, so take advantage while you can. ]]

No one could dislike this.

[ The response is immediate and heartfelt. ]

[replicatedform]

Are you sure? People... are generally different.

[Different tastes, preferences, personalities? Those kind of thing?]

[priforprince]

Such beauty is universal. To think something could erase it from my memory....

[ The thought racks her soul. ]

You remembered me well, didn't you?

[replicatedform]

["I remember you being an uptight pain in the—"]

In a sense. You are pretty hard to forget.

[priforprince]

I must have been caught up in a grave matter indeed.

[ Perhaps she suffered a blow to her psyche, and her mind is trying to protect her from the wound? But why remove everything?

Or perhaps the puniverse cannot handle this much perfection in a single person and she has been unjustly struck down. ]

[replicatedform]

You probably did.

[Maybe she got too nosy and stick her head into where it didn't belong?]

... Whatever caused this, I do hope you'll get better from this.

[He's a shinki, so he kinda knows how the amnesia thing can affect someone. Finding his god did help grounded him, at least.]

1/2

[priforprince]

Indeed.

[ What is this....strange feeling when someone wishes her well?

She blinks, and actually looks at him for the first time. ]

2/2

[priforprince]

...what are you doing there?

[ Come to think of it. She was just examining herself, was she not?

Why does she have an audience? ]

[replicatedform]

What am I doing?

[He blinks, before raising a brow.]

I was just responding to your broadcast.

[A decision he doesn't know if it's regrettable or not.]

[priforprince]

Broadcast?

[ She had no idea.

Realization comes with a sudden gasp. ]

[replicatedform]

[Oh, now she realise.]

That's right.

[A pause.]

If it's supposed to be private, then I apologise.

[priforprince]

I---

[ Frantic scanning of her eyes across the screen.

Where is the button to make this stop?! And how did it happen in the first place? ]

[replicatedform]

[... On one hand, he could turn off on his end. But that doesn't mean it stop recording on her end. On the other hand, he could help her.

...

Fine, fine.]

Do you want help?

[Say "no" and he'll go on his way, finally.]

[priforprince]

I'm fine!

[ She is not fine. But she also doesn't want help.

Even if she needs it. ]

[replicatedform]

[Geez, fine. He suspect she's not fine, but he's not going to force her.]

Alright, I'll just go.

[A beat.]

Try checking the top or the side.

[He's wildly guessing, because who knows what she's recording with? Aaaaand click, he's gone.

... He'd probably watch this post a little more, maybe.]

[priforprince]

Wha--

[ The top or the -

Oh. Oh, look, a button. Hibiki goes to press it, but then notices herself in her webcam again.

This might take a while. ]

[replicatedform]

[Might be. Yamanbagiri actually went to get something to drink. By the time he got himself some water, he checks the post out of curiosity.

It's still on??

...

He'll watch a bit more. Maybe she'll finally figure it out soon?]

[priforprince]

[ The picture is now zoomed in to be Hibiki's eye and nothing else. The same individual (?) responsible for turning the video on by "accident" is now messing with her by playing with other functions. ]

[replicatedform]

[Okay, the zoomed in eye is creepy enough for him to comment.]

Oi, what are you doing?

[priforprince]

WAUGH!

[ OKAY THIS TIME SHE REALLY NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN IT OFF ]

[replicatedform]

[YOW THAT'S LOUD]

Do you need help or what?

[priforprince]

Cease this broadcast!

[ That is totally a thing you can do. You, specifically. Not her.

Right? ]

[replicatedform]

I can't do that! You're the one who started this broadcast first!

[Sure, snap back. That's helpful.]

[priforprince]

This device must be faulty!

[ Everyone on this call is a helpful soul. ]

[replicatedform]

How would I know? It's not like I can tell from here!

[He should calm down. After a moment. Maybe.]
