Sixth Song ○ [Video - Backdated to the nightmare night]

[pianosongs]

[The gear clatters on the moment Masato gasps aloud, hand shooting out and... accidentally launching launching the gear clear across his hotel room. There's heavy breathing, along with a panicked squeak from the Deerling that had been sitting over there. She taps her nose curiously at the gear once before just crossing the room, moving over to where Masato is slowly sitting up.

Even through the darkness, his moves are rather erratic and panicked, and he just reaches over, pulling the blanket a little closer. With a sigh, he bows his head and just takes a few deep breaths. The pokémon hurries to his side, and he actually takes a good minute or two of just watching her before he gingerly reaches out to rub her ears.]

Another one... I apologize for spooking you, Sonata.

[As he leans over, he notices the blink of the gear in the corner and just sighs. Moving back from the pokémon, he climbs out of bed and approaches it, purposefully aiming it at the floor as he turns the transmission off. You saw nothing.]

[Keiko looks like she knows exactly how he feels right about now. Please ignore the big green puffball she's holding with the obnoxious orange flower on its head.]

You too?

[Hi this is Keiko when nightmares make her manners fail sorry.]

[Manners can take a backseat when it's nightmare-night. Masato just sighs; guess he can't pretend it's all sunshine and roses.]

Unfortunately... Has it been happening to multiple individuals?

[She shrugs a bit wishing she could be more help with that.]

I'm not really sure. I didn't check my gear when it happened the other night.

[pianosongs]

Ah... Well, it is unfortunate. I'm sorry you were impacted by one.

[topoftheclass]

It is. Hopefully, this will be the last one for anyone that has had to experience them.

[Welp. You can say that she saw nothing, but a girl, who's seen nightmares every day back home and sometimes even here...? Yup, it doesn't really work on her.]

Do you want to talk about it?

hay gurl hay video

[pianosongs]

[Oh... she wasn't supposed to see that. But now that she has, he's sure there's no way to avoid the conversation. There's a long moment of hesitation before he just looks down.]

I... suppose I should, shouldn't I?

haaaaaaaaaay, going to kick myself to bed soon and bbl, but have a few tags before that happens

[lovechronicle]

[She stays calm. No pushing, though if he'll say no, then -- well, then she might word it a bit differently.]

I think so, yes. [Bottling them - or anything else - up is no good.] Though I could come over, if you'd rather talk in person than here.

child go to sleep 8(

[pianosongs]

[But he likes bottling them up. It keeps people from worrying about him and lets him refrain from being a burden on others.

...but he figures he may as well. After all, he won't be sleeping for a while.]

It's up to you... I don't want to keep you up if you're tired, Miss Mitsuki.

[Voice]

[heartandsong]

[Guess who woke up? She sounds a bit sleepy but she's trying to sound like she's very awake.]

Hijirikawa-san?

[Voice]

[pianosongs]

[Oh no why.]

It's nothing, Nanami-san... You should sleep; it's late.

[Voice]

[heartandsong]

Are you ok? [Casually ignores that.]

[Voice]

[pianosongs]

[GDIT.]

I'll be fine. You don't need to worry.

[There's a knock on the door and Ren peeks in with a tea cup in his hand.]

Tea?

[pianosongs]

[Oh... hello to you too. Masato glances over his shoulder from his spot standing by the window, oddly tense, but he sighs when he realizes it's just you. Hello friend.]

...Thanks, Jinguji.

[saxsongs]

[It's not like Ren can just go to sleep after seeing something like that. Even if he was supposed to go right after finishing with his lyrics tonight... but friends first.

He gives the tea cup to Hijirikawa after walking further into the room... and then pets the little Deerling.]

You can talk about it, if you want... but you don't have to if you don't.

[pianosongs]

[Masato nods and takes the cup, taking a small sip. Unsweetened and hot... it's a very nice strong brew, too. He's almost surprised that Ren got a hold of such a tea--when he mentions the reason he was over. With a sigh, Masato just sat down.]

...my pokémon killed everyone. My... Karrablast, especially.

[He took a sip of tea, but recounting the dream had his fingers trembling immediately. Setting the cup down on the bedside table, he folded his hands in his lap.]

It... I... I'm not even sure how to describe it except... brutal.

[Voice]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Masato's not the only one who got woken up that night. His occurred a little earlier, and he's been up ever since.]

You too, huh?

At least mine didn't involve you with a bunch of naked women this time.

[Voice]

[pianosongs]

[There's a dry, airy scoff at that joke.]

Glad to hear that all women remained clothed around me in your dream.

...so you had one too.

[Voice]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Wow, rude.]

Yeah. It wasn't pretty- my starter up and decided to strangle me and then laughed about it the way I make my puppet, Cal, laugh. It was fucked up.

[Voice]

[pianosongs]

Oh... That's not pretty at all... [He sighs.] Well, at least it was just a dream.

...Are you alright?

[godaime]

[ The video annoys Tsunade. Its volume is too fierce and loud for her to properly tolerate.

The lack of conclusion or explanation is even ruder. She's noticed disturbances on this feed all night. ]

Oi! So that's it?

[ video ]

[pianosongs]

...So... what's it?

[Um.]

[ video ]

[godaime]

You just shouted at an early time in front of the network at a time where it's supposed to be quiet. Do you really think it would go unnoticed?

[ video ]

[pianosongs]

I wasn't aware it was going to turn on... I apologize for the disturbance.
