Video 10 → I See No Way This Carefully-Laid Plan Could Possibly Fail.

[irregular]

[Well, someone isn't looking too healthy.

[Ken looks like he's been fighting, and quite possibly up all night. One of his eyes is swollen shut, there's an obvious bruise on his jaw and a cut on his brow. Honestly, he should just stop trying to walk to take-outs. Nothing good ever comes of it.

[As to what he's doing now, he's trying to prise a purple stone off his forehead with his fingernails using the Dreamberry camera as a mirror, because it shouldn't be there and it needs to go and if he was in the bathroom he'd have to stand. The obvious downside to this - that if the camera's on he's being recorded - doesn't seem to have occurred to him. Maybe if he didn't feel so damn tired--]

Ow!

[He rubs at his brow. All he's done is give himself a rather nasty-looking scratch.]

Dammit.

[Ken sighs. Rubs one eye with the heel of his hand. Clearly this isn't working and he needs a better plan. Getting up, he wanders around for a moment and returns with a pair of craft scissors. He slumps heavily back down before the camera, carefully opening the scissors so the blades are bared. On that note, the feed times out.

[Somebody save this idiot from himself. Please.]

[Of course, even Ken can't sleep through anything at all, certainly not while feeling... well, like this. That lasts as long as it takes for Rise to start shouting at him, and he starts, raising his head and blinking.]

Huh? ... Rise?

[Blink. Blink. 'Dazed' is about the only word for it right now. Okay, Hidaka, she asked you a question...]

I got this thing on me and it won't come off. I gotta... [He yawns. Blinks again.] Gotta make it come off.

[popstar]

[That dazed look he's giving her only makes her blood boil even more. She lets out an audible huff at the Dreamberry.]

Even if you need to take it off doesn't mean you should use scissors to do it!

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

What should I use, then? Nothing else is working.

[This could have been sarcasm. It's probably no good thing that it wasn't.]

[popstar]

How about something that won't actually hurt you?

[You want sarcasm, Hidaka? Have some.]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

... I kinda don't think anything that isn't gonna sting a little's gonna budge it.

[Sarcasm-detector: broken?]

[popstar]

[Resisting the urge to facepalm, so much. Instead have a loud groan, followed by:]

Ken-san!

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

What? It's stuck...

[Should I be apologizing? What for?]

[popstar]

Seriously. Can you maybe use a pair of blunt tweezers instead? Or at least let someone lend you a hand taking it off.

[So much exasperation.]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Tweezers. Why hadn't he thought of that?]

I didn't want to bother the others, you know? I mean...

[Wouldn't have this thing if I'd just stayed indoors and it's embarrassing because this is kinda all my fault.]

It's not their mess.

[popstar]

I'm sure your friends wouldn't mind helping. They are your friends after all.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

But I got myself into this. They shouldn't have to clean up.

[popstar]

You know, you're being really stubborn about this.
