( VIDEO. 002 ) @2cool — BACKDATED: 07/17

[ Despite being relatively quiet on the network, Karamatsu has been keeping up to date with what has been happening in Riverview. Well, what was important to him, anyway, and what was important to him was the fact there was going to be a masquerade this week. Going to bed every night and knowing there are people out there who don't have perfect fashion for this sort of thing was making him feel determined, and dare I even say.. proactive.

Unfortunately, when Karamatsu becomes inspired, it's usually pretty bad.
Today, he's dressed in this and seems awfully proud of it.

He strikes a pose, spreading the wings out to show off all of the colors with an exclamation of "bang!" which is nothing like the sound a bird should make (was he bird or just being extra??? we just don't know.) Then, he relaxes, cupping his chin with one hand. ]


Heheh. It seems there's going to be a party on Saturday. If you want to look as perfect as me, I will be happy to help and tailor you an outfit if you do not have one. Please, no payment is necessary. Take it as kindness from my own heart, as I do not want anybody to have an insufficient costume for such an event.
Thank you.
[ And that's it? He also ruined his identity by posting this early, but hey, that's fine. ]

Exactly.

[Dodger's got no time for tact, anyway. It's part of why he likes Karamatsu.]

[...Dodger's brow furrows slightly.]

Trust me, I can count the people who see that shit on one hand.

[And, once again, he's only about half sure he knows what Kara's talking about.]

Besides, people that want to hurt you won't go for people that look dangerous. They look for weaklings that need reassurance and friendship. Those are people that are easy to prey on - the innocent and the generous.

Sometimes you make me wonder how Reaper puts up with people like you...

[There isn't much heat to his comment, though. He may hate altruism but he appreciates someone who rejects cynicism so effectively.]

You remind me of my little brother.

Sure, last time I saw him. He was 15 then, though.

Seriously?

[He's got a sarcastic look on his face for a second, before it turns into a bemused smirk.]

I hope you're not talking about Ichimatsu.

[Well... he may not know Ichimatsu very well, but somehow he still feels a little offended being compared to him. Enough that he's stopped smiling.]

Ichimatsu is a parasite.

Don't have to meet him more than I did. Sure, he's a decent person to be around, but I'm nothing like him - I worked to be where I am, and I pay back everyone in full for what I take from them. Your brother openly admits to relying on others for everything, and doing nothing in return. It's disgusting.

At least you have goals, and a means to pursue them. You'd be better off not associating with people like him unless you're using them for your own benefit.

private from here on... even though dodger would've happily kept talking shit publically smh

[...Dodger can't help looking surprised at Karamatsu's reaction. With the kid's insistence on being likable, he almost expected him to agree, or... at least try to put some positive spin on his brother's uselessness.

But Karamatsu really is like Duke. Dodger's shoulders slump, and he sighs quietly as he visibly backs off.
]

...My brother would say the same sort of thing about me.

[Karamatsu really is the type of person he could see Duke growing into. And god, that hurts to think about.]

Anthony - that's my brother - he used to beat the crap out of anyone that talked bad about me, or his parents... he wasn't even related to me, I never got why he cared that much. He even started... going by this stupid nickname because it sounded like 'Dodger', and he wore leather jackets just because I did... it was fucking embarrassing.

It's fine to love your family. Just don't let it blind you to how shitty people like me and your brother can be.

[Okay... maybe he can see some resemblance after all.]

[Dodger can't help... feeling deeply hurt, by this. He hadn't expected to get attached to anyone in this damn city, much less be attached enough to someone that his anger makes Dodger hurt. But here he is, feeling oddly chilled by the reminder that Karamatsu is, in fact, not related to him. And that's true, he isn't that important to the kid, is he... even if keeping him around and chiding him fills that empty void where his little brother should be.

He can't even think of a response. He just shuts off the communication, with an expression as he turns it off as if he'd burned himself on his phone. God, he really shouldn't have said that, should he...
