✂ oo8 「video」 --

[aspiring]

[For those who've seen other broadcasts of Billy's, this one notably starts off differently—namely because most of the time, he's trying to hold himself together.

... This time, he's just trying to hold himself from snickering, and only partly succeeding. He smirks, holding up a letter.]

I think I have a fan. Or, well, maybe 'stalker' would be more fitting...?

[He tosses the letter in a garbage can... notably filled with only other letters. The most innocent smile—]

I'm wondering how long it'll take before the entire thing gets filled up. There was a flower bouquet too, but I had to throw them out. As lovely as it was, I wouldn't want the person to get the wrong idea, after all. They seem... devoted enough as it is. Some of those letters were very creative!

[A perfectly fake sheepish laugh, before he looks thoughtful.]

Oh, and Saya-chan was even mentioned in a few! Seems like someone doesn't like her very much~

[And with another ~completely innocent~ smile, he ends the feed.]

[ooc: For the record, this was completely Laena and Dana's idea, inspired by these lovely comments, among others that took place after.]

Comments

Eh? So quick to deny it, Matthew!

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

That's because--

[Usually he gets the accusations of stalkerish things.]

I am just proving my innocence!

But a secret admirer, Billy?

[...snerk.]

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware you were ever innocent, Matthew!

[A shrug.]

Looks like it. Can't say I've never had fans, but this is new.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[Pffft. He just laughs.]

About as innocent as you, I'd wager!

And yes, I can see why it would be new. Thankfully, most people don't like stakers, and they don't happen often.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

At least I'm not a thief!

[His main role in his canon is only, you know, to steal something.]

Well, I'd definitely hope not. I think one is enough.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

You never do let that go, do you?

[Grin grin grin.]

The fact that you have one could be considering, you know.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

Would you rather I fixate on the fact that you're actually a spy?

[Smirk smirk smirk.]

Eh? Considering of what?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[...twitch.]

Yes, yes, spill my secrets to the world.

Considering your status, of course!

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

So it's better that I pretend that you're just a thief, isn't it?

[Smile~]

Eh? Status?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Honestly...here it doesn't make much of a difference. But it feels odd to not make an attempt to keep it quiet.

[He laughs and nods.]

As a celebrity, of course.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

I completely agree with the first point. I still think you look stupid for being so secretive about it~

Well, back home I might be calling the police, but I guess I can't do that here.

[He'd be far too amused to even if he could, though.]

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

H-hey! If your entire livelihood depended on what you are staying a secret, you'd be a little paranoid too!

[Huff.]

No, probably not. I doubt she's all that dangerous anyway.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

It's been over a year. Get with the times, Matthew!

[Grin!]

Good thing to. I'd hate to have her be the first person I use those lessons against.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[He grins in return.]

I think I'll avoid spreading my career all the same, thanks.

[A lifetime of secrecy can't be changed in a year.

But pffff--]

You would probably upset Saya if you started waving your daggers at people.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

Then she never should've let the lessons happen.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

They're for your safety, not to scare away helpless natives.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

Hey, scaring away stalkers is relevant to my safety.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Because this lovesick girl is most certainly a major threat.

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

You never know~
