Video 02 → Missing, Presumed Gone

[irregular]

--this thing working this time? It is? Right.

[Ken is sat in his bedroom, holding the Dreamberry a short distance away from his face. He looks - and sounds - rather anxious.]

Um, hi?

My roommate's gone missing. Omi. I'm pretty sure he's not just gone back but he's not answering his phone. If you don't know him he's about my age, blonde hair, blue eyes-- he's the one wearing shorts even though it's freezing. He hasn't been home since Wednesday and... well, has anyone seen him around lately? He doesn't have to come back or anything if he doesn't want to, I just wanna know how he is. Thanks.

[He hesitates for a moment.]

Omi, if you get this... call me.

[The video cuts off.]

orz sorry he's just LIKE THIS.

That's because I'm worried, you bastard! And then you call up just to be an asshole about it, what the Hell am I supposed to think about you? Oh yeah, don't mind this guy, he's totally not suspicious?

It's okay, Naoya's a troll. :D

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could try thinking at all in the first place? I told you clearly what had happened, to which you flew off the handle.

You're far too brash and bloodthirsty...you're going to bite off more than you can chew someday.

*considers making a 'yhbt' tag*

You told me he was being taken care of but couldn't reply. That's really not that fucking reassuring where I'm from!

[Yeah. Paranoid assassin is paranoid. As regards the latter point... this has probably already happened.]

You're seriously not goddamn helping.

XD

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

He can't reply because he doesn't recognize the name 'Omi'.

[Naoya just laughs. It's not good laughter. He is more than you can chew.]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Ken is on some level aware of this. Naoya worries him. He worries him a lot. On the other hand - this is the boy whose response to being confronted by an unexpected mutated tentacle monster thing was 'jump on it'. The awareness that he's massively outgunned has never actually stopped him before.]

Why the Hell not? That doesn't make any sense, it's his name!

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

Is it? He's an amnesiac...his name could be anything, couldn't it?

Ten years is a long time.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Oh right that. That makes some kind of sense, Ken supposes.

[Except no, it really doesn't. Because amnesiac or not, there's no reason for Omi to have forgotten who he is... and Ken still doesn't understand how it could be possible that anybody could have the reste button pushed on a whole decade of their life.]

Long enough. But how in Hell could he just forget--

[No. Not playing this game.]

God damn it! That doesn't matter! Even if he can't remember who he is we haven't forgotten him!

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

But he has forgotten you. Or maybe it's more accurate to say he never knew you?

[1/2]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[For a moment Ken looks startled. Then just plain upset. That's gotta be a lie--]

[2/2]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs the feeling off. He can't believe it for a minute. More accurately, he refuses to. And even if it was true...]

I don't care.

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

The more fool you.
