[Video] [Unimpressed]

[The video clicks on. As usual, Eric's expression is sour. He looks like he's slept badly, and has been for a while.]

I won't deny I've been complaining. Why would I?

[He runs his hand over his hair, an exasperated gesture.]

You'd have to be insane to say I don't have a reason to. First, I find myself here. Then, I move in with my coworkers. Which, by the way, listening to people have sex isn't in the least bit erotic. It's merely annoying, especially when you're trying to sleep on a couch.

We haven't had enough clients or made enough money for me to get my own place. So, I'm a greeter now. So, I get to wander around an empty baseball field like an idiot. We haven't had anyone new since the last wave.

Now, the apartments, the main reason I took this damn job, still aren't rebuilt. So, now I get to scope out the field and STILL put up with my coworkers.

I say this with full knowledge that nobody gives a crap, by the way. I just thought maybe saying would help.

It doesn't.

[Clicks off.]

[Eric is aware of him, but they haven't actually met. So, he doesn't recognize right away.]

Call it therapy. [He snaps a little.] Saying it to myself isn't nearly as satisfying.

You're aware you can turn your com OFF, right?

[See this is why it's awesome that shinigami of his world have zanpakutou. They can just unload petty complaints on their swords.]

A shame shinigami of your world don't have zanpakutou to talk to when you get like this.

Quite aware. It doesn't mean your actions make anymore sense, though.

A Zanpa... what?

And yes, given my situation I think I'm entitled to feel angry or upset. And I'm not dealing with it in a particularly unusual way.

The weapon of shinigami in my world. They contain their own spirits that we form connections with to access the full potential of our abilities.

I said nothing about you not being entitled to those feelings; they're not unreasonable for that situation. And just because the method is common, doesn't necessarily mean it makes sense. [Because people are morons. You know that, Eric.]

[He smirks.] Some of us have full access without it.

I didn't say it made sense. A lot of things are true that don't make sense. And well, a lot of things don't make sense and aren't true, but we do them anyway.

It's just the way things are. The world doesn't make sense.
