I never wanted him to get hurt like he did. [Hurt is an understatement. Frown on his face and clear upset in Ken's voice as he keeps talking, almost like he's talking to himself, unaware the device is on, but he knows.] I never meant anything like that by what I said. My brother was actually good to me. I just lost sight of it and wanted him to disappear. I wish I hadn't been so childish and stupid about it. If I could've just looked past myself-

...no. I-I didn't turn the device on for this! [But it's like word vomit.]

[He switches the feed to a filter before he can say more. He'll still babble against his will in responses.]

Deity Filter:
Deities, I've never had to address you before, not like this, so I hope this is the way to talk to you. I can go to the office, if I have to.

I wish to make a trade.

[ooc: Cursed with My Dirty Little Secret, and unable to do anything but talk about his dead brother, and his severe jealousy issues all day. So for those that wanted to know more about Ken's brother, Ken's darker aspects, or didn't even know he had a brother? Ask away.]

He is?

You mean City Dead? [ 'Too'? A tactful pause. ] You're City Dead, Ken-chan?

Yes, City Dead.

No, no. But that's what's weird, that I wasn't. Justin's dead. Charlie-san's died here. Apparently people die here, a lot. [That too was because he's thinking of his brother, again. Sorry, 'Li'.]

I know about that. [ The City isn't the safest place. ] Maybe they let you off for this curse? The Deities are very arbitrary that way.

[ ...or maybe it was something you ate...? ]

[Totally something he ate.]

I don't see why they would do that. It's cruel of them, either way, Justin-san's already been dead three other times.

The Deities are cruel in alot of ways.

In the meantime, is someone with you? [ He means Is someone taking care of you. ]

They are. Subtle ways.

I was going to visit a friend of mine.

Oh. That's good.

[ He can't exactly come Topside to fetch Ken. ]

Hopefully they can keep you occupied. Until the curse ends, anyway.

[Ken wouldn't expect that, anyway.]

She will. She's a good friend. Kind of like having a big sister.

I'll leave you so I stop babbling at you, Li-san. Thank you.

Well then. I'm sure she knows how to handle things. That's what big sisters [ and brothers ] are for.

See you later, Ken-chan.
