[fourteenth fragrance] backdated video; August 9th

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong has his comm set up for a completely intentional, confessional style video. He's not wandering around or flicking things into buckets of water or filming himself blowing something up. Well, he ought to do that eventually, but not today. ]

So, hey. I didn't realize it yesterday because of all the celebrating and stuff, but it looks like it's been a year since I got here. Doesn't really feel like it. I mean, I seriously never thought I was gonna be here for that long.

Even though it's not that long, I guess. Anyway, I'm just posting this because I kinda wanted to say thanks to everyone. I know this place is like, super ridiculous sometimes, but there's a lotta people who work hard to make it better for us.

So, thanks.

And don't laugh, okay? I'm being serious here.

[ With that, he looks aside, seeming kind of embarrassed. He then ends the feed. ]

Are congratulations fitting for this kind of thing...?

[bauhinia]

I dunno, maybe? I didn't really think about that part.

1/2

[shortestfuse]

Yeah...

2/2

[shortestfuse]

So maybe... that's cool.

[bauhinia]

Thanks, Shizuo. I mean, at least I could celebrate the whole 'not dying' thing.

[shortestfuse]

That's a good one. Congrats on that, then.

[ He now thinks he should get him something... ]

[bauhinia]

Thanks again. [ No, don't do that! He doesn't need gifts for... not dying.... ] Hey, I guess I'm making a cake or something, so if you wanna come over when it's done, feel free.

[shortestfuse]

Are there gonna be a bunch of people?

[bauhinia]

I dunno, I've only talked to a few so far. I mean, if you wanna come later on, that's cool too, y'know.

[shortestfuse]

I'll come later, if that's fine. [ He doesn't play well with some others. ]

[bauhinia]

Sounds fine to me. I'll save you something to eat, how's that?

[shortestfuse]

Thanks, I do like cake.

[bauhinia]

Oh, good. I'll make a big one then.

[shortestfuse]

...

Sounds alright by me.

[bauhinia]

All right, so I'll see you then.

[shortestfuse]

Yeah, later.

[bauhinia]

[ He gives a brief wave. The cake'll be here whenever you want, Shizuo! ]
