[blog dramadramaduck] [What if? Virus Aftermath || Video || Faile

[savior_n_black]

[The feed starts with Ichigo sitting on his bed back in the stark room he's been staying in while with the Vaizards. Dark circles are under his eyes--which are back to their normal brown. He's just silent or a long while, and when he does finally look up at the camera he seems...haunted.]

...Hey.

I know that there's a lot of people pretty much saying the same thing, but...well, after what happened, I--...

...Well, I'm not really sure what there is to say.

[He looks away again, scrubbing a hand over his face.]

Just...I'm alright. And that wasn't me. None of that...I'm not a hollow. Or an arrancar, and I-...I don't...




Damnitt.

[A frustrated sigh.]

If I did, or said something? I didn't mean it. I don't remember a lot of what happened, but...what I do remember isn't me. You know?

So...Rock, Tidus, and jesus, you too Tommy...I'm sorry.

[Then he falls silent, not looking at the camera as he reaches over to shut off the feed.]


[Text || Locked to Ggio : Unhackable ]

I'd really like to talk to you. Um...I think I might have found a way for us to see each other a lot more, though. Please respond?

No more bloody video posts?

[savior_n_black]

Uh...n-no. I..um...yeah.

That isn't who I am.

Er...hello; I am Kurosaki Ichigo--Shinigami Representative...who are you, again?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Good to hear. It was a bit unnerving to see.

Ryudo Issei, monk. We haven't met, although I've heard a bit from Ggio.

[ridethetiger]

I'm here. What is it? ...Are you alright?

[savior_n_black]

[And Ichigo blushes just a little at that; hearing about him from Ggio, that is.]

Yeah...well, it's pretty "unnerving" to watch, now.

[ Try "Nauseating"]

So..you're a friend of Ggio's?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's doubtless worse for you, being a part of it...

Yes, I'd say so. I'm grateful for you for helping him.

Re: [ video | locked | unhackable]

[savior_n_black]

[Ichigo wilts a bit in relief at the fact Ggio responded at all. He smiles weakly for you Kitten.]

Hey. Um...I'm sorry for...well, anything I might have said or did and...uh...








D-Did I hurt you?

[8fingerswhiskey.livejournal.com]

You do not have to worry about anything with that thing.

I'm just glad its over.

You okay?

Re: [ video | locked | unhackable]

[ridethetiger]

No, not at all.

[He gets the same smile in return, though Ggio looks just as tired, sheets wrapped around his form haphazardly.]

You look terrible.

[zanarkandsboy.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about, okay? I've had worse, and trust me, I knew it wasn't you, so it doesn't matter. I'm just... glad you're okay.

[hippie-hacker.livejournal.com]

Glad to see you're okay. Don't worry about what happened. Like I said before, people understand that a virus was responsible.

[themixedsky.livejournal.com]

...And what exactly are you going on about?

I tent to avoid the community the first signs of a virus.

Ichigo?

It's... it's all right. I knew it wasn't you, I saw it when I tried talking to you.

[savior_n_black]

[Have a blank look, Issei.]

He needed to get out of there...it was more Elphaba than me, really.

But, I'm glad that it wasn't just us that thought he needed to leave.

Re: [ video | locked | unhackable]

[savior_n_black]

[It's so quiet that it probably doesn't really pick up, but Ichigo does sigh, and a little more of that worry lifts from his expression.]

Gee, thanks.

Anyway, listen...how would you feel about coming here? To Karakura, I mean.

[savior_n_black]

I'm fine.

[ He looks anything but fine. ]

Um...was all that stuff about your daughter just the virus talking?

[savior_n_black]

Yeah, but...I dunno. It's...really weird because it's like; if things had gone differently...would that have been me?

[ He pales a little at the thought. ]

[savior_n_black]

I know.

...Doesn't change things I said, though. I don't care if it was a virus, it was still things I said, or...or did.

[savior_n_black]

Piss off, Xanxus. Now is seriously not the time.

[8fingerswhiskey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was just the virus.

I called her. She's fine... Ignoring me, but fine.

Ya need anything?

Re: [Locked | Video forever]

[savior_n_black]

How's Byakuya?

Re: [ video | locked | unhackable]

[ridethetiger]

[A quiet laugh, and Ggio sighs much more visibly, making his exhaustion more apparent. He does blink at the question, though.]

Karakura...? I thought it was dangerous there. But...

[He glances down, a hand coming up to close over the faint scar left on his neck. His eyes close with an almost pained frown.]



I really want to be with you. Wherever you are. I don't like being here alone.

[Because Elphaba could never stay for long, and he was just surrounding by his and Ichigo's belongings and the near-faded scent of the shinigami.]

Re: [ video | locked | unhackable]

[savior_n_black]

...I know you don't. I don't feel all that great about leaving you there by yourself.

[ He tries for a smile, though. ]

You'd have to stay in Gigai. I already worked it out with Urahara-san.

[ Better not to ask what Ichigo is going to have to do to make up for such a huge favor...]

It's a special kind of Gigai, though. One that would mask your reiatsu.

You'd look, and feel totally human.

[Here worried eyes look up at the camera. Ichigo is definitely nervous that you'll say no, Ggio, and as usual, he's terrible at keeping his thoughts off his face.]

[savior_n_black]

Good. Well, not good she's ignoring you, but...yeah. You know what I mean.



Um...I think Langly still wanted to get together for Poker. Are you in for that?

[Come on, we're guys. We just get on with stuff, no matter how much it messes up our psyches in the process, Tommy.]

[8fingerswhiskey.livejournal.com]

[Tommy's in Section 8 and was just "good game"'d by the Chief he thought hated him - his psyche is fucked either way.]

Yeah, yeah. I'm up for it. Better than sittin' here and waiting, right?
