video @Yamamoto

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He fiddles with the screen after he first appears for a moment. Once he has it set he gives a big thumbs up to the camera with a smile. Excuse the slightly sweaty teenager in his sword practice clothing. He has been training when he gets the chance.]

Yo, I'm Takeshi Yamamoto, are there any places good for sword training?

[He has been exploring but he misses the dojo where he usually trains. He has one more question but first, a sparrow who looks to be made of rain flutters around his head while a pup with three short swords with blades appearing rain made as well pops up to lick his face. He laughs.]

Oh, Jiro and Kojiro say hi too. Does anyone need any help with projects or jobs? [He would like to keep training but also get involved in helping around Anchor any way he can.]

[hypothermic]

Doesn't matter if you came together. Some people get out.

Most don't.

Welcome to hell, population 'these losers'.

[Low, velvety chuckle.

Nothing makes Len's day more than ruining someone else's.]

Oh yeah. They eat it up.

Then they throw it up, and maybe someone else does, or they do, and the cycle continues-- very circle of life.

When you get back to your Earth, you can educate yourself with a little documentary called 'two girls one cup'.

[tsuyoi_ame]

I'd be happy for him if he got home; I'd miss him but I'll see him again and he would be safe. That's what it means to care for someone, you want what's best for them. Even if it hurts.

There are worse places than here. And worse people than the ones here.

[Then his poor teenage mind is blown. God help Yamamoto should he ever get near an internet video and remember this conversation.]

Th-they [Gags because that is terrible]

That's disgusting are they sick, maybe someone should get them help!

[hypothermic]

What did we say about kink-shaming?

Someone who's into that could be listening in on this conversation and feeling real judged right now.

You don't see me barfing at your gross preferences.

[Caring for people unconditionally is the dirtiest kink of all.

Love is at the top of Len's no-no list.]

[tsuyoi_ame]

Right, but wait, you said if it was that stuff that we should shame them.

My gross?! I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT!

[He totally thinks Len means he is into something kinky and weird. Not his open, trusting heart and nature.]

[hypothermic]

Says the guy who just went off with his emotions.

Nasty.

Keep that stuff behind closed doors. I don't want it rubbed in my face.

[tsuyoi_ame]

My emotions? That's not kinky. Would it be nasty if someone cared about you?

[Careful Len, it could happen]


That sounds really gross after everything you were just saying.

[He's just saying Len, also he is blunt and weirded out and this is the strangest conversation he has ever had in his life. And he has had some strange conversations.

[hypothermic]

I'll screw around with a lot of stuff, but not emotions.

Too messy.

I'm a neat-freak.

[Would it be nasty?

The other morning Len woke up beside a man he's afraid to lose.

The hardest BDSM ain't shit in comparison.]

Come back to me in ten years when you know anything about anything.

You'll see.

[tsuyoi_ame]

I hope you learn differently someday, it would be sad to think you never loved anyone.

[He will be hoping for the man's sake that he finds someone like the man he woke up beside even if he does not know about it. Everyone should be happy.]

I might be young but I know stuff, I'm not an idiot. All of the time.

[hypothermic]

You say sad, I say successful.

I'm going to die rich, infamous, and surrounded by what I love-- diamonds.

Pretty, nearly indestructible, and they don't talk back.

[They also can't get up and leave.]

That's what I thought when I was your age, and I was half the dummy you are.

[tsuyoi_ame]

It would be lonely to die that way. What would you leave behind, diamonds won't remember you or carry on what you've taught them. They won't hold your hand when you're on death's door. They won't save you if it's not your time.

[This guy may not be bad, he may not be good. What Yamamoto thinks is he is lonely, has not had good people in his life. So while he will be cautious the hitman is going to try and befriend him.]

You don't know me well enough yet to say that, I may be smarter than you think.

[Just naive.]

[hypothermic]

What makes you think I wanna be held or saved? If I kick the bucket, I kick the bucket.

We've all got what's coming to us.

[Don't you dare Yamamoto, Len's compromised enough as it is!!!]

I already know you more than I want to know you. But sure, whatever floats your boat. Could be interesting.

I've never been proven wrong by a sack of hammers before.

[tsuyoi_ame]

Because even if we don't think we want to be saved. We do. If no one saves you, you don't get the chance to realize it. [Personal experience there.]

Maybe it could be something good that's coming; it doesn't have to be bad.

[Too late Len, too late. Welcome to determined puppy teenage hitman hell. Population, everyone he comes in contact with just about.]

You can't know someone that good from one conversation.

Then that means you have to get to know me better so I can prove it.


[What, he saw a small crack in the door, he is sticking his foot in it.]
