video

[The feed begins focused on a dark haired boy as pedestrians mill about behind him, but it's not his voice that can be heard first. The sound is noticeably more feminine than that, and likely more familiar to the Port as well.]

Of course it's necessary! Here, everyone can see you now, introduce yourself.

What are you even... what is that thing, anyway?

[apparently nobody really explained the NV to him, from the way he gestures blankly at the camera with noooo idea what's going on.]

It's just a video! It's like, it's almost like a picture, except it keeps showing you for as long as you want it to, moving and talking and stuff. It shows you to other people, too, that's why I said everyone can see you! So you should say hi, okay?

I... what... couldn't you have told me that before, idiot? I'm not interested! Shut it off, do something...!

Hey, don't call me names! Just say hi and tell them your name, I promise it isn't that hard!

I don't...! Fine. If I do this, will you stop bothering me about it?

[There's a sigh, before she moves into the view of the feed, standing next to the taller boy. Though her voice was bordering on annoyance a few seconds ago, it's not hard to spot the broad smile on her face.]

This is my friend Fakir. I guess he's just sort of shy, but he's a really nice person!

[The affection when she turns her head to look up at him is almost palpable as well.]

See! That wasn't so hard, was it? Now everyone knows who you are.

I'm not a nice pers... ugh. Believe what you want.

[he seems to just give up, rubbing his forehead. the things he puts up with for her. but he reluctantly glances up and nods shortly at the camera. that's... probably the closest thing to a hello he'll give.]

[And just as quickly as the smile had been there, a slight exasperated frown takes it's place.]

You are too! Stop saying stuff like that, jeez. [She turns her attention back to the NV for a moment.] No matter what he says, he really is nice! [And then, just like that, the feed cuts.]

Sorry. [He sounds faintly amused.] But it's not so bad here. Ahiru knows all about it, she can explain everything if she hasn't yet.
pullsheavendown: (※ you have seen this all before)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-07 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's kind of complicated. And she's been here a long time, so...

[he nods] We're really good friends. I've been here a long time, too.
pullsheavendown: (※ all the space between)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-07 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Longer. About two and a half years.
pullsheavendown: (※ know that you just don't know)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-07 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Sometimes it feels like it went by really fast, though.

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-07 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't supposed to be anything.
pullsheavendown: (※ always in this twilight)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-09 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
There's no way of knowing whether you will unless it happens. All anyone can do is try to get by the best they can.
pullsheavendown: (※ not an answer to be heard)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-11 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Is it? I don't think so. I'd rather live my life here and take each day at a time, not wait for something that might not happen.

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-11 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
If you think you can work out a way to get home, good luck. I mean it.

[He just doesn't believe it'll happen.]
pullsheavendown: (※ held in silence)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2012-09-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

I guess I'll see you around, then.
