_{[ The feed clicks on and there’s Karamatsu— not dressed in anything too horrific this time, but rather something like this. He's posed perfectly against the corner of a wall in his housing, a lamp casting light on him. There’s a rose in his hand? And he takes a big whiff of it. Yeah, please help him. ]}

Aaah, sometimes.. finding love is so brutal-- so difficult and painstaking! I think of it maybe it is better off to be alone instead. Perhaps, you feel the same way too. Perhaps you are waiting for love to sweep you off of your feet, whisk you away to a majestic land— a land of dreams come true! Ah, that’s right, the truest love that even YOU and you deserve!

Heh. Endless love, so distant.

Perhaps, then, you will be happy. Perhaps, then, you will be set free— as your heart is in shackles, aching from heartbreak.. from the diseases of other burning loves! You should search no longer--

[the device is suddenly moved and settles on the face of... another Karamatsu? but when he talks, he has a much different voice. it’s a bit higher than his brother’s. it wasn’t Ichimatsu, just who was this guy, now?]

You’re lonely, and we get that... We really do, more than you know... [he pulls back a little ways, revealing that he is also wearing a nice suit] So! That’s why, we’ve decided to offer our services to you guys! I know, I know, we’re pretty awesome, right? You can thank us all you want, later!

For now, you may be wondering, what are these services, because of course you are. Get this! We’ve decided to give you all the once-in-a-lifetime chance to date us! That’s right! For just a small fee, you can go out with [he jerks his thumb off to the side] Karamatsu over there, or me, the older, more experienced, but not too experienced, [WINK] Osomatsu!

A fee? There is no fee. The only fee they should be willing to pay is with their hearts! Ah, worry not, my honeys! We will be available to date.. free of charge! _{[ EYING OSOMATSU FIRMLY….. ]}

[the camera falls on Karamatsu for a bit, and Osomatsu winces at his expression. Why... why is he like this? Osomatsu sets the device down, so that the camera angles up and at nothing, but you can still hear the brothers in the background]

What do you mean, "There is no fee?" Of course there’s a fee! We can’t just give ourselves away, idiot!

Love should have no price, you are just being greedy!
_{[ aaaand they’re just going to keep bickering until the feed ends. ]}

... Depends on the question.

[ With all the wariness one might exhibit when handling a strange, unpredictable, and likely venomous snake. ]

[glitterpants]

Tch, let's make this a little bit fun, shall we?
Do you want question #1, #2, or #3?

_{[ all of this is ominous and i don't like it ]}

[nostalgiabomb]

Or. You could ask all three, and I'll decide whether or not I wanna answer any of them.

[glitterpants]

My heart is firmly cemented in the ways that I want things to be done.. I usually am not easily persuaded, but... for you, I suppose I could make an exception.

One, do you believe in love at first sight?
Two, what is your deepest darkest secret?
Three, do you think people should pursue their dreams?

_{[ yikes, why is he so personal? ]}

[nostalgiabomb]

[ What the Christ.

Peter barks out a startled laugh at the audacity of it. ]

Wow. You go for the jugular, huh?

I'm gonna answer the third question with a firm sure, why the hell not. Long as you're not hurting anyone, anyway.

[glitterpants]

What if somebody gets in the way of your dream, though? Do you plug'em full of holes? Do you kill them?
_{[ this suddenly got dark... ]}

[ A thoughtful pause. Then, ]

I'm not about to become complicit to first degree murder, am I?
