acting like a good person on camera

[thicc]

[ onscreen: an insufferable prick doing his best to be as amiable as he can be, wearing a suffocating red suit painful enough to spell "karmic retribution". totally forced upon, totally manipulated. death, in short. valentine's day his fucking ass. ]

Gooooooood afternoon! Welcome again to the weekly edition of Yumenosaki Time, with me, today's special host, Izumi Sena! [ pause for... pre-recorded APPLAUSE haha that rhymed ] — and oh, [ WINK ] do we have an exquisite treat for all of you! For us, by us: "Find Your Mate!"

[ a small pause to raise the paper; he doesn't actually know the rules and pairs verbatim, and it sure isn't his problem if the cameraman is frowning and rushing hand gestures. ]

... So you see, it's just me and a couple of our other idols here, right? Everyone in this room won't be participating, but behind that curtain over there [ camera zooms into a red curtain right across from them ] is the remaining sixteen, and they're gonna find each other while completely blind!

Now, they aren't blindfolded yet — they will be, and you guys better be playing close attention — but as soon as the signal rings, it's lights out and evacuate!

[ onscreen text: "AND THE PARTNERS ARE...?" ]

As for partners, I've got the list... [ SHUFFLING ] here. Make sure to listen carefully, because as soon as I finish, you all have ten seconds to look and touch your partner all you want before the alarm goes off. Got it? Another second to register that? Alright, I'll start.

this is where we fucking die

KURO	TSUKASA
HIBIKI	MAKOTO
RITSU	TOMOYA
EICHI	LEO
ARASHI	KEITO
KAORU	CHIAKI
SUBARU	KOGA
SHINOBU	TORI

... And that's that! I hope the rest of you are ready, because we — [ LA CUCARACHA HORN INTERRUPTS, KILLS IZUMI SENA; HE IS DEAD ]

you killed him

[hakazekaoru]

[ and... Chiaki it was, huh? he supposed this was probably not going to be as bad as he thought... after all, at least he didn't get paired with someone like. Keito, perhaps. or even his own fellow unit member, Koga. those two would probably be impossible to handle--

bam.

barely a few seconds into the 'game', he was already taken down. beaten to the ground. by a careless arm being thrown around like that.

which would mean that it was... ]

Kuro-kun...?

[ embarrassed by how easily he was knocked off like that - though to be fair, Kaoru had been caught off guard and this was Kuro we are speaking about - he decides to lie down on the floor for a little longer. maybe until he gets his dignity back. ]

Re: you killed him

[kurokiryu]

[Due to the lack of response after a while, Kuro thought he had killed the guy. After realising how ridiculous he was being, he came to the conclusion that the mystery person was lying on the floor unconscious.

As it was too late to start searching again (and it'd be rude to leave someone lying there, especially if it was your fault), Kuro ended up taking his blindfold off.

Oh, it was Kaoru.

He knelt down and softly (as soft as his voice could go) called out the other's name to make sure he was actually unconscious (or dead?)]

"Kaoru.....?"

he is Fine but also Not Fine

[hakazekaoru]

Yeah, yeah, it's me.

[ it didn't take long for Kuro to figure him out, huh? despite being in different classes, had he learnt to recognise Kaoru's voice...? to be frank, the only reason Kaoru himself had known it was Kuro was due to that strength.

Kaoru wasn't exactly that small, so it isn't everyone that could throw him down like that.

but then again, it could've been Adonis, but that junior of his isn't participating, is he...

slowly, he sits up, reaching out blindly to make sure Kuro wasn't too near, now that he decided his dignity's recovered to continue looking for his partner. ]
