006 Dark Towers Destroyed; Video;

[oceantrauma]

These candies are far too personal, and not something I think we're meant to experience. It's a dirty trick to play on us. [He looks a little irritated, especially since he doesn't know who to blame for it. But then his expression softens to guilt.] I wish I hadn't.... I should have checked the network first.

And I apologize for what you might see or hear to anyone who eats any that might relate to me.



[ooc: You can assume you ate one of Ken's here, or if those are too upsetting? A generic Digimon one with Ken in the digital world with Wormmon is fine, too - labeled DIGIMON. Sorry I didn't think of it earlier.]

[charring]

[Concerned big sister, reporting for duty.]

Ken? You okay?

video:

[oceantrauma]

Yes, of course. [Immediate light smile to diffuse worry.] I just felt a little bad about seeing things I shouldn't have, that's all.

video:

[charring]

[It's not entirely diffused but she smiles back slightly.] Anything you want to talk about? Maybe it'll help.

video:

[oceantrauma]

[He shakes his head.] It's alright. I shouldn't talk about someone else's memories.

[negativegate]

[Rita hasn't eaten one of his, but she doesn't feel the need to pry too much, either. Hell knows she has stuff she doesn't want people seeing.]

It's pretty sick, if you ask me. Some things are secret for a reason.

[oceantrauma]

I completely agree with that.

...I wish I had known beforehand. But I have no desire to touch those again.

[negativegate]

Now if only everyone else has the sense to avoid them until it's over. There's too many to get rid of them all.

[oceantrauma]

True, but if enough people poured water on them they might dissolve, wouldn't they? [Granted, his sink turned to sand, so....]

[negativegate]

That's possible, but who's going to collect them all? They're everywhere! [And, well, sand is definitely a problem, too.]

[oceantrauma]

We wouldn't have to collect them if there's a hose to connect to the apartment buildings.

Hopefully they will, as many things do in this City, just disappear tomorrow.

[negativegate]

I don't know about anyone else, but all that water would just ruin my research!

So they'd better disappear tomorrow.

[oceantrauma]

What kind of research are you doing that water in the streets would be a problem?

I hope the same. For other reasons, though.

[negativegate]

Oh, in the streets--that wouldn't be a problem with my research.

So...you don't anyone picking up one of yours, right?

[firstaid]

Why... is that? Did you have have a happy past?

[She's prying and she knows it, but she's far too curious to not say anything.]

video;

[oceantrauma]

[And there is a very upset look to that.]

No. I...did things, bad things. I imagine anyone seeing that sort of thing wouldn't like it very much.

video;

[firstaid]

We've all done... bad things.

[She looks down, remembering the time she hurt her friends.]

But I wouldn't want anyone to see what bad things I've done either.

video;

[oceantrauma]

Yes, but that doesn't make it any easier. I wouldn't want anyone to see those things.... For many reasons. I wouldn't want those memories dredged up when they don't need to be. [Not that he's forgotten, not that he can forgive himself - it's going to take a while for that.]

video;

[firstaid]

[She wants to ask so badly, but she knows when it's not right to pry. This is one of those times.]

Then I hope no one finds your memory. I pray they are safe.

video;

[oceantrauma]

[If she asked in the future, he may tell her. Or she might find out through a curse, one day.]

Thank you. I hope they don't either. I hope more people get warning about this stuff before they eat anymore of those candies.

video;

[firstaid]

As do I. Luckily, I didn't eat mine and threw them away once I found out they were cursed.

[She almost did eat them though. Her intuition told her not to once she read one of the hearts which read 'murder'. It sounded off... so yeah...]

video;

[oceantrauma]

I wish I had done the same. But...it's done, now.

[He wishes he had that kind of intuition, though he had been a little suspicious, and he'll know for next time.]

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

I'm somehow certain public penitence for having your privacy violated won't be necessary.

video;

[oceantrauma]

No, of course not! I ate a couple by accident myself. [He might be mistaking the meaning.]

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

The knowledge that you have so nonchalantly contributed to the psychological compromise of your fellow citizens touches my heart.

video;

[oceantrauma]

Is that sarcasm? It's hard to tell from only words.
