[Shinjiro walks from his closet into the view of the camera carrying what looks like a webcam. He heaves a sigh and tosses the thing on his bed and picks up the device...

...and swears under his breath when he notices it's already on.]

Fine, smartass. You wanna turn on? Tch. Whatever.

[His eyes focus on the feed finally.]

Yuu, thanks. You know why.

[There's another, longer pause.]

So, a lotta people know this place makes you forget stuff, right? What do you guys do to try to remember?

Any of you had better luck findin' stuff to record with?

Are you going to share or do I need to ask nice?

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[His eyes dart to the closet and he scoffed.] Figures.

...sorry.

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Naa. It just don't give me exactly what I'm lookin' for. Went lookin' for a video camera, got a webcam. Shit like that.

[He shrugged.]

So, what's the trick?

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

...with what?

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[Considering he also found out he dies tomorrow if he goes back home...] Yeah, somethin' like that.

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

Recording. Or remembering stuff.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

It's not always that bad.

Only um...maybe two-thirds of the time....

Okay, that's probably not helping at all. Never mind.

If you would like I can ask for something for you.

[She pauses.] For what?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

It takes some time. Did you want me to try?

And I can show you. Here.

[Insert some instruction on how to filter and lock posts and how to direct them at one or specific people.]

It's not perfect yet though. I haven't figured out how to get them completely locked.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

It's better than not doin' anything.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Life's pretty shitty most of the time, Yuu. Ain't nothin' new.

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

A laptop?

[Nope. That's all he's giving. She can just wonder what he's sorry for.] Don't worry about it.

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Maybe I ain't askin' right.

[He pays attention through the explanation, at least.]

Where's Yamagishi when you need her, huh?

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I guess that's true.

Would it be better if you were at home?

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

I'll ask.

[She looks frustrated.] Alright.

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

Just keep trying. Sometimes the closets don't cooperate.

[After their meeting and the mention of Fuuka, it made him think about home again.]

She'd think this was easy. But there might be someone else I can ask to get it working right.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[There's a sort of sick laugh.] No.

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[He heaves a sigh.] For fuckin' shit up.

[action]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Ain't got nothin' better to do.

Yeah?

[video | filtered]

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

[He'll take that as a 'no'.]

...all right Shinji.

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, Shinjiro?

[action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

Have you had trouble with getting anything else from the closet?

[He got an ax, so it seemed to be working, though the closets could be fickle.]

Probably Rei Ayanami. Or Naoto Shirogane. [Which reminds him. Though he still couldn't figure out how it was possible.] I should tell you about her too.

Asking nicely would be pleasant, but it's not required.

We've been investigating the Mansion as a whole. How it works, what memories it targets, what of the Wonderland "natives" are involved.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause, like he's going to ask why, but he decides not to.]

Same here.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

You up for a break?
