[At first, there's no picture. All that can be seen is a blank screen. However, Issei starts to speak.]

Do you know the festival Ryuujin Matsuri? The dragon god of Fuyuki's river Miongawa rampaged many, many years ago. A traveling monk prayed for three days and three nights. At the end of that, the dragon was converted to Buddhism. The monk joined Ryudoji Temple, and the dragon god taught judo to the monks there.

Myself, I prefer karate.

[Finally a picture appears. It's the hallway of Issei's school. Issei is standing calmly over another male teenager, who is lying on the ground groaning in pain.]

And that's why you're on the floor right now. Hm, that festival is coming up, isn't it? I should be preparing...

((Before anyone gets on my case, him being skilled at karate is obscure, just-translated for me canon. Sob.))

I'm telling you right now, nothing will ever come up.

Well, don't say you're honored until after the fire department doesn't show up. And six works great.

Virus. If I have to defend you from a rampaging Wesker, I will.

I'll see you here.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Please don't.

Alright, see you then!

Action spam, RL, assumed?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm not allowed to care more about your safety than his?

Uuuuh considering I'm probably going to be really scarce this weekend, let's go with assumed

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I'd rather you didn't...

Kay!

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You're one of my closest friends. He's... okay. There is a difference in priorities here.

<3

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Just don't try anything while I'm conscious...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid of you, Birkin. I have nothing to fear when I'm acting in your defense.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sure.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...don't look so sad. I promise I won't let you get hurt.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I'm not worried about me getting hurt.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You're worried for my sake...?

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Of course I am.

YOU SAW NOTHING

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Birkin... That's really sweet of you. I'm honored to be worthy of your concern.

EXCEPT I DID

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, don't let it go to your head or anything...

CURSES

I know how it feels to be concerned for a loved one's safety. So I'll do my utmost to never give you cause to worry.

MWAHAHAHA

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Thanks. But hey, you need my help, I'll be there in a flash.

o9

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You didn't protest 'loved one'. Progress! I'll rely upon you, then.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Well, every time I do, you tell me to shut up and sit down. What is this warm fuzzy feeling I have?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

If you know what's good for you. Deep, abiding affection. We call it 'platonic love'.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

And now, I know. And knowing is half the battle!

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...you're making fun of me?

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

A little bit, yeah.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

How rude! Don't make fun of my feelings for you!

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I'm just messing with you.
