[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.))

[The figure in the video may not be recognizable at first, because he's bent over with his head in a trash can, rummaging around. This continues for several moments.

Eventually, he finds what he's looking for and the person is revealed: Issei, clutching his Kaitou Kid plushie tightly.]

I swear on my soul, I'll never forget you again and mistreat you in such a way... now, I need to go apologize to my friends for my failure.

[OH GOD WHAT IS THAT

It's apparently some kind of dog, and it yelps before knocking into the camera again.]

Down, boy! [Issei comes into the room, and the... creature rushes over to him and licks his face.]

I guess this is as good a time as any to introduce Henry to all of you. Isn't he cute? Birkin gave him to me! None of the monks are allergic to him, it's wonderful!

I'm not going to cheat on him. Not with Kid, not with Shirou. I would never cheat on him, even with a person I loved, because I also love him and you don't cheat on people you love.

But apparently, you can't love two or three or four people equally! You can only love one the most. And of course that person isn't the one you're dating. You're being disloyal just by dating anyone at all.

And if you love two people, you're fated to cheat on them. There's no such thing as self control! If you have to love more than one person, you might as well just never date anyone for your entire life to keep yourself from harming them! Who cares if you're unloved forever, if they're safe from you?

In fact, why don't you just go ahead and DIE FOR THEM?! It's the only way to prove that your love isn't just a selfish emotion, it's the only way to date them and not eventually betray them! Go ahead! I know I would!

'Take what you want from me, strip me bare, send me into certain death.' If you can't even respect my loyalty, which is the entirety of my being, how can you respect me at all?!

((Hakuba really made Issei flip out with his assertion that Issei couldn't love two people at the same time. Replies will be voice, he's not well enough to type correctly.))

The camera opens on Issei's empty bedroom, facing the door. Nothing unusual to note here, nope.

Nothing unusual to note, that is, until Issei flings the door open and practically prances into the room. He skips, he does a little twirl at the end, he radiates joy in every possible way.

Then, very carefully, he takes something out of his pocket; a flower. Issei stares at it in a manner that can only be described as lovingly, before holding it close to his chest with a blissful expression. He sets the flower inside of a vase on a shelf, and keeps his blissful expression until the feed ends.

( Cut OOCly for length. )

((All replies will come after he wakes up for the day. ...Which will be quite a bit later than his day should actually start (in two and a half hours).))

[Video]
[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~))

You know, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have to actually campaign for student council president. I've been running unopposed for so long... I ought to see if the council has made any progress toward finding a replacement for me.

I'd say that I was grateful that my teachers were not normally that strange, except I can't actually decide if Fujimura-sensei makes a more bewildering English teacher than Excalibur-sensei.

Ah, and Kuroba, I was serious about what I said to you on the subject of making sure you could attend one of Kid's heists. I'm more determined to, since Kid is now more likely to listen to my concerns than he was. What is your schedule?

He's fine.

Thank you for your concern, everyone.

((Issei's being vague on purpose, but he's talking about Haruto, who's recovering from the stabbing.))

[The camera clicks on, and Issei's face immediately comes into view. He looks tired and worse for wear, but his eyes are the same old blue that they usually are, and when he lets out a sigh and starts to speak, it's with his own voice.]

Could someone tell me why I've been unconscious for a week?

((Tatsumi supernaturally-powered bitchslapped possessed!Issei into submission. Issei has absolutely no memory of what happened while he was possessed. Any interaction with possessed!Issei we didn't get to may be assumed. Due to computer troubles, I'm making sure to post this now: comments might be a bit later.))

While the variety of virused posts is admittedly a change of pace, I'd rather know for certain what my friends on here could be afflicted by so I would know how much to worry. Since that reassurance isn't available right now - everyone? Could you at least tell me if you're in any immediate danger? Most viruses aren't harmful, but there have to be some in the history of the community that have been...

As for me, I don't seem to be affected. Nothing of more interest than drawing water from the well with Kuzuki-nii happened today, and even the memory-altering viruses are interesting. That's something to be grateful for.

((Issei's affected by the 'what if?' virus - more specifically, what if Kuzuki and Caster had survived the war. Possessed!Issei will come after too many questions get asked, and his/her/its? intro will be in a separate post.))

Subject: Photographs

Dear Kaitou Kid Fanclub:

I should have expected this, what with the way misinformation travels around here, but I was hoping you still had some sense.

First of all, those pictures you have in your possession. Notice the hair color? Notice how it isn't Kid's hair color? It's a costume party. Unless Kid would be one to have such a shoddy costume as merely a different hair color, you have to accept that it's someone else dressed up as him. I should know, because it's me.

This means that you do not have pictures of Kid fraternizing with Hakuba and Shirogane. You have pictures of a fan in costume fraternizing with the detectives. Therefore, stop claiming to have proof of - of relations between them. Kid wasn't even there! And I don't have relations with them either, and I was the one actually in those photographs!

In conclusion, the next person who says Kid did anything remotely resembling romantic at that party is wrong on so many levels, and I will find them and hunt them down. It's the least I can do for contributing to this mess.

-Ryudo Issei

((Of course the Gossip Girl story and the photos get back to the fanclub. Of course.))

Shirou called.

I hate viruses.

Would someone please interrogate me so that we may find out if this time I have my actual memories? Please? [Issei sighs.] This is getting tiresome.

N-not that I'm saying being married to him was bad! I mean, of all the people I could be married to of course I'd most like to marry him. But, but I don't mean that I intend to get married right away either! B-but eventually, probably-

I'm going to stop talking now.

[The video clicks on to show a rabbit apparently sitting at Issei's desk, ears drooped. Most rabbits aren't that shade of blue, however, and certainly none in Issei's world are. It lets out a soft little whimper.]

I can't even apologize to Haruto like this...

[Oh, hey, subtitles. That's helpful, especially considering that rabbits don't say much. Wasn't there someone else turned into an animal lately who received subtitles? Wonder if the causes could be related.]

...

Could I have my normal clothes back now, please? This isn't funny.

((In all icons, Issei appears to be wearing this. Background roses not included.))

I... kissed Haruto.

And he kissed back.

...And it was really, really nice.

Does everyone feel this giddy afterward?

((Reference thread, made canon by agreement.))

Allen was successfully defeated. Three labors left - Prince Larsa's two swords, Rufus ShinRa's panther, and the Corinthian's cat.

...I don't know if I'm skilled enough to take on any of those locations. But I can't wait. If I can just finish those last three, it'll all be over. Everyone could get their things back, I could rest...

I'll have to be able to do it at my current level of skill, then. It would take a long time to go looking around for a teacher, and there are still people out there who want my head. It's best to finish quickly.

((Translation: Issei's really, really worried about screwing up now.))

For the record: I am not currently employed at a maid cafe. Any belief I had that I was employed at one came from the virus. I have no desire whatsoever to work there.

I also violently despise Koizumi Akako, who brainwashed me again. And I am exceedingly grateful for the Valentine's Day virus.

[Locked away from anyone the labors are directed at.]
Nine labors completed, six left. More than half, at last.

Hopefully the replacement motorcycle will somewhat abate Rider's wrath, but I don't want to take chances. And since I'm not very good at this whole 'stealing' thing, honestly... I guess it's the 'look for Kite in the digital world' task next. Does anyone know who that is?
[/Locked]

((Rider's motorcycle has been stolen, and Akako has been kissed.

Remaining tasks, for the curious!

1. Go into the digital world and find Kite.
2. Steal Dark Nation from Rufus. (Issei's planning to do this during the wedding, when he hopefully won't be home.)
3. Sneak into his palace and steal Joyeurse and Swordbreaker from Larsa.
4. Defeat Allen in poker.
5. Steal Chuck Bass’ scarf.
6. Steal Cori’s cat and survive the hellhole he lives in.))

Seven labors complete. I have no idea where I'm going to store this, because I don't think it'll even fit in the temple.

...I never ended up asking the Kaitou Kid for assistance on this, and that's probably good. I don't want any of my friends to have to be involved in this. Unfortunately, some parts can't be helped.

Ah, Midou. What's the name of Rider's model of motorcycle? I assume that if it exists, Fujimura-oyabin will have it.

((Grave of Maria get. And it still counts as stealing Rider's motorcycle if you replace it with an identical one, right? :D))

I just want a bit part in your life

A walk-on would be fine
