[For a few seconds, Issei just sits in front of the camera, wearing his normal clothes and with his normal eye color. He waves, and then shuts the camera off.]

Thank you very much for the rescue. Everyone, I'm all right now, and the rest of the affected people are going to be fine. I know, because I'm going to help save them. (I won't budge on this, so don't try to dissuade me.)

As for what I said and did... well, call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer regular therapy to the supernatural kind. So if you want to ask, I'll do my best to answer. ...That person is me, technically, but more than a little seems to have been lost in translation.

[Failed private, easily hackable]
I looked like a tramp. Forget looking like one, I acted like one! And I - with - if I didn't have people to rescue I'd spend the rest of the day in purifying myself! No, I'd spend the entire week doing it, just to be certain I was rid of the unclean influences!

Am I supposed to return Nakamori's undergarments to her now...? I don't have any use for them myself. But I've never been in such a situation before! I don't know how to deal with this!

((Okay! I don't know how other people are handling this, but I'm going to say that all posts made on the 15th (including Haruto's last one) are before Issei's rescue, and all posts made after that are after the rescue. It's easier for me to keep track of, and I'd be remiss in not letting his boyfriend have a good panic post. Also, holy crap guys, did you see how many comments were on there? I love all of you for making Shadow!Issei so fun to play~))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I prefer not to be addressed as such by people I hardly know.

[Possibly... Still, I don't see where that comes in.]

Then we should get to know each other better, shouldn't we~?

[...It sounded better in my head. Something to do with "hot under the collar".]

Do we have to?

[Issei doesn't do innuendo well. At all.]

Well I'd certainly like to know you better. And I believe the other me would as well.

[Poor innocent dear]

...Possibly the other you. After this.

[He can't help it!]

Aw, why not me and why not now? I'm just as nice as he is~

[True, true]

Is he less likely to show me pornography?

Only slightly, and only with a concrete "yes." Not that classical artwork or illustrations from the Kama Sutra, which is really just an instruction manual, count as pornography.

He shows such restraint, it's actually rather cute~

That's better than just... what you do.

Follow my impulses, you mean? Instead of planning everything out so far that I can predict exactly what you'll say ten comments from now? How deeply you'll breathe next?

...How would you ever figure out what I would say in ten comments?

By directing the conversation in such a way that I make you say what I want, of course. It's all manipulation.

Suppose I ignore you?

Then I would have purposefully maneuvered you to a place where I wanted you to ignore me.

You think too highly of yourself.

It's how I survived, manipulating everyone to do as I wanted or needed of them. It's how I control every battle I engage in, in order to defeat my opponent.

I suppose it's useful in battle, but I'm not fond of it in a social context.

Survival ranks above the social niceties. One has to do what one must when one's mother decides that her son isn't worth the air he breathes and certainly not worthy of being in her sight.

...I'm sorry to hear that, but it doesn't excuse continuing to do it.

Perhaps, perhaps not. It all really depends on which world's standards you measure by, doesn't it?

You're reminding me of someone.

Exactly~

You have no idea of who, do you?

Of course I do. I do my research.

You'd say that even if you didn't know.

...now I'm going to start counting comments.

Oh boy. ^^; From Issei's last comment? Or from Kurama's "ten comments from now?"

From "ten comments from now", I was thinking. So this is #5?

Works for me! #6

#7

#8

#9... um, wait, this isn't going to work out?

...Not really, no. Pretend this one #9 then?

All right, then.

...Mun has a vauge idea? Shinji from Issei's canon?

I was going with Kotomine, actually. Manipulative bastard who's all 'values are subjective, la'.
