FOURTH WALL EVENT [VIDEO/ACTION IN ICE PATH]

[ Oh hey, it's that Seta kid again and his stupid little video feeds. He's been around a lot over the network with his centre-house catching on fire, the Cleffamigos, and all that. Well, how about this one where the camera is GOING ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE OH MY GOD WHERE'S A BARF BAG WHEN YOU NEED IT--

After a minute of this flailing and what sounds like Souji doing a verbal keysmash, both the Pokegear and him crashes to the ground. Now with a steady and clear view, it seems as if his location is inside an ice cave- a very familiar ice cave.

Dressed in his casual wear, he slowly gets up, trying not to slip on the ice like he has done many times before in his last visit. In his last visit, he has arrived here in his PJs, so he's glad that he at least has a jacket and something thicker. Oh, let's check if he has his Pokemon on him. If it's just like last time, it's be six Magikarps. Let's seeee; ]




[ Screw you too, Johto. Screw you to Hell.

Well, Souji pulls his jacket closer and looks around. ]


Damnit, here again. Great...

[ As if the bruises and cuts from the attack a few days ago isn't enough, he'll probably get more from just slipping around here. He just hopes he doesn't meet anyone in here like last time... Well, let's go ask the network what is up. ]

Has anyone else woken up in a completely new place? Seems almost like in November...

[ Now, someone help him get to that nice rocky path and off this ice. ]

That's not how it works, Souji.

[He stands in front of Souji, eye-to-eye.] You know what happens when you deny me, right?

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-28 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wasn't I clear? [He's scoffing right now.] You have a lot of things you really want to deny. And...

If you can deal with them, I'll just have to do it for you.

Right, right. How dare I suggest you even have the slightest weakness. [He sounds mildly amused.]

Not at all. It's not why you never sleep. Always stressed about eggs, about who's sleeping, who's out late. It's not why you buy 8 cups of coffee a day. It's not why you're pathetically using a marker to confess your feelings to a guy who's so vehemently against that sort of relationship.

It's not why at all, right?

Because you're Souji Seta! The Leader. The Senpai. The Partner who wishes he was "Partner" instead.

Screw that. I'm sick of this. I'm so tired of pretending to be strong. Pretending I have no weaknesses. Pretending I know who I am. The wild card.

Hahahaha, yeah, right. What a fucking joke that is. As if not having a damn clue who you are or what you want in life means you're worthy of that title. A leader who can't be honest with the people that trust him isn't a leader.

It's disgusting. You're disgusting. I'm sick of this bullcrap.

[There's not a sliver of hesitation in the shadow's voice as he continues. His voice grows more prominent, more bitter, entrenched in echoes and more shadows -- as if he's about to reach his breaking point.]

Oh, but that's not all.

I want to know who I am. Really. This is sickening. Sense of self doesn't come from everyone else. All this persona is? A facade to show the world, right? It's not even original. This isn't my facade at all!

Everyone calling the shots! Everyone deciding that the level-headed one should lead. It wasn't because they wanted you to lead, you idiot. It's because they were too goddamn scared to do it themselves. Yosuke? Lead the team? Yeah, right! HAHAHAHAHA. Lead them right to a dead end! That moron, if he was calling the shots, the shadows would eat everyone alive. An innocent man would be dead. Hell, the investigation wouldn't have gotten anywhere, that damn homophobe would have stopped a mile outside that sauna and never turned back!

Or Chie? What did Chie care? She never did. She went because she didn't have a choice. It wasn't about Konishi, it was about Yukiko. She had one thing to deal with, and she wouldn't have paid enough attention to finish the job. Hell, without OUR help, she'd be strangled by a cable wire.

Yosuke too, huh?

But you... no, you had no attachments. Everything was just taken in stride. Because what did it matter? The year would pass, and we'd be on our merry way, to the next place we need to be. Never a second thought. No contact again.

Just like every. Friend. Before them.

So suddenly, they look to you like the leader and then it matters? Everyone is worth saving? They're worth changing for? They're worth casting your own feelings and health aside just to appease how dumb they are?

Sure. They need you. They need me. At what price, Souji Seta?

[A pause, and then thickly.] Or maybe "Yu Narukami?"

Who are you again?

Do you really think that's going to work? Pedantic repetition? Telling yourself that each shallow thing is what makes up who you are?

I thought I said it already.

I'm tired.

This is boring. It's all so shallow. Knowing them all so well doesn't make a friendship. Yosuke crying his pathetic little heart out over a girl who never liked him anyway -- what does that really mean? Falling for him? That's not love. It's pity. The poor boy can't get a girl, so maybe he'll settle for less?

A guy?

A guy who can't even acknowledge when he's beaten?

Maybe I should vomit on your shoes. Would you accept me then?

Face it, me. These "bonds," are worthless. All of them. Sooner or later, it'll be back to Japan. Nothing that happened here will matter. Coming "so far" with the people from Inaba, the new "friends" made. It'll all be forgotten in an instant. It's a waste of time. And then going back will bring nothing... those bonds? How solid can they be? Everyone will be split up. Soon they'll forget. It'll burn. Fade away.

Say goodbye now. Take a journey of self-discover. This is getting old.

You say that, but how much do you believe it?

I can see your doubts. I can hear them. What you think, I think, remember?

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-28 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why are you so unsure?

You should just admit how tired you are.

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-29 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
How original of you. Of course, the only reason you're tired of listening is because I'm right. Truth hurts, doesn't it?

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-29 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Walking away won't make me leave.

I'll just destroy you, if I really have to.

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-31 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
So you want to keep denying me.

[With that, his eyes begin to glow brighter and the dark aura around him sparks larger.]

And here I thought you would learn from your "friends!"

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-31 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't you learned yet? Denying me is pointless! You're me, and I'm you. You can try to fight it all you want, but these things are the truth - just like it was for everybody else.

You won't win in fighting me. You're at a disadvantage without your friends. Don't you know? I'm the strongest of all of them, and you couldn't handle them alone.

Give it up! You'll just get yourself killed this way. And I know that's not what you want!

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-31 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't I said enough?

Or should we talk about your precious partner next?

[identity profile] imyuandyurme.livejournal.com 2011-05-31 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I love him soooooo much. I don't care that he's an ignorant, rude jerk most of the time. I can even forgive that he wanted to play the revenge card that time.

Hell, I can even overlook that he's only one more rejection away from turning into Adachi.

Because... why, again? Because I'm special? Because he got me a plushie once? Because he says something endearing once in a while?

But I'm too afraid. So scared of rejection, so scared of ruining this shallow friendship that I can't even tell him how I feel! HAHAHAHAHAHA

SO I'LL JUST HIDE BEHIND CUPS OF COFFEE, HOPING HE'LL NOTICE SOMETHING SO SUBTLE THAT SOMEONE AS DUMB AS HIM WOULD NEVER SEE!


Because... well, if I do that, the pain of rejection... of isolation would cut so deep, right?!

Don't make me laugh.
