[You'd be surprised by how hard it is to set up a phone for a video post while sitting on a rebellious pre-teen who is a ten year old version of one of your five brothers-- but he won't tell you which. That, by the by, happens to be precisely what Ichimatsu Matsuno is doing at this particular moment, the feed kicking on to him frowning irritably at the screen with his hands clearly on either side of the device while he tries to make it stand upright.]

[When he sits back the scene gets a little stranger, because he is, in fact, sitting on a tiny version of what looks like himself if he ever brushed his hair and slept. He actually hisses at the boy beneath him and sits on him to prevent some of his wild flailing, and then glares back at the video feed.]

Can somebody tell me which Matsuno this little shit is? He's one of my brothers but inexplicably tiny and he won't tell me who he is.

Maybe it's 'cause you look a schmillion years old and that's how I know!
_{[ the perfect bratty response along with him sticking out his tongue again. ]}

[aeturnus]

Oh, so Ichimatsu-kun is a schmillion years old, too?

[glitterkid]

Hmmmmmm.

Sure, looks like it! But he doesn't act like it at all-- and he doesn't have any money!
Oh.. he's still threatening me, by the way!
_{[ child, you're not making sense. ]}

[aeturnus]

Which is why I'm still on my way down. Feel like hanging out with an old fogey?

[glitterkid]

_{[ He folds his hands behind his head, looking completely relaxed. ]}

Only 'cause I'm bein' held hostage, okay?
_{[ he looks absolutely safe... this child.. ]}

[aeturnus]

No, I meant a different one. Me instead of him.

[ Yeah, see, this is just as much drama as he expects from Karamatsu. It's just a different kind. ]

[glitterkid]

Sure.. you're not gonna kidnap me, right? When I wanna come back to Ichimatsu-niisan, that's okay, right?
_{[ He probably won't want to stay with Cain for too long. Separating these guys is awful to maintain. ]}

[aeturnus]

No, no kidnapping involved. I just think Ichimatsu-kun could use a nap first, don't you?

[ Even if that tiredness is perpetual, it probably doesn't help to have your brother suddenly shrunk and then a bunch of strangers trying to peer in and snark at you about it. That's pretty much the nature of the network, though. ]

[glitterkid]

I think he could also use a toothbrush... maybe a litter box too! So the sooner you get here, the better!

_{[ this rude af kid.. ]}

[aeturnus]

We'll let him take care of those himself.

[ Yeah, yeah, he's about there now. S'up. ]
