Video 08 → My Mistakes, Numbers 4,926 - 5,101

[irregular]

[The video cuts in to show Ken frowning down into the camera, breathing a little too hard and too fast, and biting his lip. Clearly he is looking for something in one of the Dreamberry's menus, jabbing at the keys beneath the screen; just as clearly he triggered the video feed in the process. The image shakes: he's grasping the Dreamberry as firmly as he can, but it doesn't seem to stop his hands from trembling. Confusion crosses his face for a moment or two as he tries to work out why the screen's changed, then he mutters a frustrated curse, but the audio doesn't seem to pick it up.

[The picture cartwheels madly as he tosses the Dreamberry onto the bank he's sitting on. When it lands and the tumbling stops, the screen shows nothing but a slice of sky, thin skeins of clouds drifting overhead. Sixty seconds later, the feed times out.]

[OOC: Ken's been dead for a week after Muraki murdered him, and has lost his voice as a penalty. Replies will be in the form of text messages, or possibly charades.]

Comments

Ken??

[holy crap he's okay. Well. As okay as he probably can get and omg that's fantastic but still SURPRISE.]

Ken, are you alright?

[stupid question but hey one can be dead and still okay, I mean Sena knows that first hand. He's really hoping that this isn't the same kind of deal.]

[Sena. What do you know, the gang's all here...

[Ken realizes - it's a guilty realization, but what else can he think? - that he probably needs to talk to Sena. But later, when he can talk: there's got to be one of those. For now, he gives the boy a grin, goes through the same old pantomime. And sends him a text.]

[No, he doesn't know why he's offering, unless the sneaking feeling he should be doing something to make up for all the trouble counts.]
