14th Morph [Accidental Video/Action to Dissimulo]

[kungfublackfrog]

[The feed starts off with the camera pointing upwards, facing the night sky. Looks normal to be honest...maybe the person on the other end wanted to chat. Then again, it was really late so why then was the communicator on? The answer to that was then revealed:

A familiar blue penguin poked its face out so everyone on the network can see. It didn't make noise but it decided to shake the communicator around like trying to figure out how it worked. It gave a blank look and tried to tilt its head in confusion before dropping it to the ground, spooked by something off the screen.]

...could you tell me what exactly are you doing with my device?

[That was definately Adam's voice asking and it sounded strangely calm for seeing a monster in a building. The prinny attempted to yelp and waddled out of there as fast as it could. Normally, a sane person would go after the little bugger and make it explode; the ranger on the other hand just walked in front of the communicator and sighed before picking it up. He gives a small smile to the audience but if anyone looked at his eyes, they could tell something was wrong.]

I'm sorry about that just now.

[And he shuts off the feed.] 

Comments

To everyone else maybe.

...you couldn't sleep either?

[Oh yeah, he saw that post. Now wasn't the time to ask.]

[fierybluebird]

[Sad look trying to fall back into deadpan.]

Yeah. We had a promise to talk every day. I'd write him something, but I don't even know what to say.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

I guess just start writing what's on your mind. It doesn't matter what it is, just write it down.

[Not much help, is he?]

[fierybluebird]

There's too much... and nothing at all.

Normally I just ask him how things are with him and that's the stepping point.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

Have you heard of freewriting?

[fierybluebird]

[Shakes his head no.]

Sounds intriguing though.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

It usually helps.

What you do is give yourself a certain amount of time and just write whatever you want to, off topic or not. The only thing you can't do is stop writing until time's up.

[fierybluebird]

I guess it couldn't hurt to try, eh?

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

You just might find the right words to say to him. Could be even more.

[fierybluebird]

Heh... all right, all right, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

No problem. I'm just glad that I could be of some help.

[Yawns offscreen. So tired...but can't sleep.]

[fierybluebird]

How about you? Are you going to sleep?

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Wish I could but I can't seem to do it.

[fierybluebird]

Try a free-speech? You talk until you figure out what's bothering you while a friend listens patiently.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Heh, psychology then?

...maybe it's just everything that's going on right now. Things just decided to happen rather quickly.

[And that he already does extended patrols so even more body tension. Derpy Froggie.]

[fierybluebird]

Oh? Which things?

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Where should I even start?

[Regaining memories? Weird personal stuff involving Makoto? Heiji leaving? The weirdness of Halloween, which by the way, still has that damn photo in costume. He felt like it would be selfish to speak about; Marco was hurting more than him and it was better to think of him rather than himself.]

[fierybluebird]

Anywhere.

[Except that's the thing. Marco can't deal with his problems. He copes by helping everyone else. And that works for him. Which is why the thing with Japan frustrates him. He can't help Japan from here right now.] Start with today.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

...besides feeling like I somehow went back to my teen years again after learning Derpy has gone home?

[Sigh.]

I can't even figure out why I'm acting like this.

[fierybluebird]

Derpy?

Mah... because it's unsettling to have a giant void suddenly appear out of nowhere like that.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Derpy.

I'm used to the literal voids where they try to suck everything in. Metaphorical ones are a complete mystery to me.

[fierybluebird]

[Snaps his fingers.] Heiji, right.

Still frustrating, eh. And maybe you miss looking after him?

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

...maybe.

But I don't think it's just him.

[Could be the straw that broke the camel's back.]

[fierybluebird]

In this place, it's never just one thing.

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Just what we need: a soap opera.
