[The girl that appears on the screen looks excited and rather wet, a towel draped around her shoulders]

Hey, hey! It's Bold here! Haven't had a chance to say much to the new arrivals, but I'm the second personality of three that lives in this body. You'll either see me, or the first personality--just call her Lain.

We're a weapon, a computer, and we're partnered with Neji!

[Rushed sort of introduction over, the girl quickly switches gears]

Look, I find this guy walking around outside, so I took him in! He doesn't speak, so I named him 'Kohane'! Neji-niisan, can I keep him? [her smile is quick and wicked, eyes glinting playfully as she turns the camera on 'Kohane.'

The man is obvious naked, but currently wrapped in some of the covers from Lain's bed. It's actually [Bad username or site: impartialsky title= @ livejournal.com], but, lol Bold doesn't know that. He's totally Bold's new pet.]

Neji-niisan, do you have any clothes I could let him borrow? I'm pretty sure he shouldn't be walking around like this~

[She reaches back to take Zeus's hand in hers', intertwining their fingers and tugging him closer so the screen and everyone watching can get a better look at him]

Kohane, you should wave for everyone!

[Zeus does not wave. He just. Stares. Into your soul. Or more accurately, stares like he’s not quite sure what to make of any of this.

Bold doesn ‘t look very amused by this, but she rolls her eyes and turns the communicator off. Probably to give him lessons on Waving 101.]

[sadjk;gjkl which is kind of like choking on laughter]

Zeus won't talk; not for a while, at least.

[he's picked up the pillow. and he crosses the screen behind Lain, but doesn't address their conversation. instead, he puts the pillow back where it was.]

[She watches him put the pillow back, faintly amused. He's so adorable, really.]

[looks towards Zeus]

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[back to Apollo]

DONE

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[She stares at the man, just standing there. Whose hand she held, who she helped dry off and she sedately put the pillow back after she tossed it at him.

She looks back at Apollo]

[sundere.livejournal.com]

[He's listening, but his eyes are Zeus. It's fascinating.]

There are other things to joke about.

[impartialsky.livejournal.com]

[he responds to his name, finally. as though he had been waiting for Lain's reaction, Apollo's explanation. none of this is betrayed on his face. feathers whisper over shoulders as he straightens- looks passed Lain and directly at the Sun.

having fun, are we.]

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[Lain plays lightly with the odd tail of hair by her head, taking this in. After a moment she just shrugs]



[She tilts her head, adopting that hazy, smug expression as she side-glances to Zeus]

[sundere.livejournal.com]

[Oh you know it, Kohane. We are all about having fun at the expense of others. Apollo smiles again before shifting his gaze back to Lain.]

What, are you his female counterpart?

[impartialsky.livejournal.com]

[he keeps watching Apollo even after he's looked away, before his gaze wanders away and yet again he disappears from the screen.]

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[She watches Zeus move, before tilting her head to glance at Apollo]

[pause]

[Her gaze moves to Zeus, though she continues talking to Apollo] [She throws her head back with a bright laugh and holds a hand out to Zeus]

[Apollo bites down hard on his lip to prevent another laughing spree, because the ache in his stomach had been more painful than he had expected, but that action also causes pain.]

"Ow--"

[sundere.livejournal.com]

[He frowns when something trickles onto his tongue. If he were human, he would describe the taste as 'coppery', but for him and his limited sense of taste, it was only bitter. Not sweet. Unpleasant.

He slowly brings up a hand and swipes it across his lip, barely flinching. He stares at the blood, promptly rubs it off his fingers.]

[sundere.livejournal.com]

. . .

This is bleeding.

[unimpressed]

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[She drops her hands and looks to Apollo, blinking owlishly]



[She grins easily]

[sundere.livejournal.com]

[And Apollo easily scoffs, moving out of the screen to reveal the inside of a Creeping Crypt apartment. You can see the back of a couch and a t.v. in the corner further back. There is hardly a sound as he moves, and not a minute later he returns. His lip is clean.]

So, you judge by appearance.

[Yes, a true god looks at how pretty they are.]

You're actually going to try and keep him?

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[She looks to Zeus and laughs softly] [Bold chuckles again, hugging her knees to her chest]

[He frowns a little, not liking the idea of receiving help too much.]

No need to make it an obligation. [He doesn't know the first thing about being helpful.]

[sundere.livejournal.com]

[Apollo still isn't in a good mood overall because of this situation, so he just wants to stir things up to make at least something interesting. The frown disappears.]

They might need more help than I do; they're quite high up there. [Or down below, as the other might say.]

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[She turns her gaze to Apollo, eyes half-lidded and carefully scrutinizing and judging] [A shrug and she begins to toy with some of the wires that crisscross the floor ans tables and walls of her apartment. Apollo might not be able to see the wall of computers off to the side, but the parts scattered in small organized piles and the alarmingly high amount of wires 'decorating' the place are in plain view]

[sundere.livejournal.com]

[He knows all this, just as pride is useless in the face of survival. That is, if one puts surviving above all things. The fact that he feels alone becomes all the more apparent as his predicament is exposed by spoken words. He was one who spoke nothing but the truth, and thought it inconvenient at times, but he sees that being able to lie is much more terrible.

On the outside, he looks unaffected. Shrugs.]

It can be, if we so choose.

[And he says nothing more.]

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[She watches him a moment, before looking away to stretch her body, back popping, a soft groan of approval coming from her as she relaxes back in her seat]



[She laughs a little]

[sundere.livejournal.com]

[Thanks for offering to let these guys mooch off of you forever.]

Oh, are you warming up to me?
