@HTKRIZO, VIDEO.
( there's an unpleasant digital crackle, the guttural sound of disapproval, and then—video.
a glitch. some idiot's emotions getting the better of him, and, most likely, he isn't aware that it's all being transmitted.
the occasional sway and the arrangement of luxurious delights in his line of sight indicate this as one of those expensive yachts. )
What's the point in all this body modification crap? It's just a means t'do away with your weakness, to pretend you've got any real talent, and one I ain't flimsy enough for. Not to mention it's sketchy as all hell!
( a roughed-up hand comes into sight, clutching at a blue gem. )
Tch. Each and every one of 'em thinkin' they're hot shit when rely on this crap. Guess the Ghost of Tosa's the only one here with any principles...
( the man continues to grumble as the video shows him headed for the assortment of cheese, crackers, and whatever else, the feeble way in which he wields a spreading knife just... odd. like he's never done it before.
then the perspective turns, awkwardly... towards the floor. ah. he must've realized it by now, with an audible click of the tongue. bye-bye, video transmission. )

The technology is optional save for the initial implant, so you need not take part in it.
What then is truly causing you distress? The others acquiring abilities that might surpass your own?
no subject
when that's all i've got, i
( another dramatic pause. my favorite. )
...... you,
sure you ain't sick of goin' down these tangents yet?
of always gettin' lip from me when you're just givin' advice
no subject
Haha, this is barely an exercise compared to what I'm accustomed to handling back at home.
no subject
yeah, it pisses me off
all these glorified warriors slappin' on attachments to get strong when compared to a guy like me
who cut, and cut, and cut 'till the streets ran RED!
it ain't fair that someone can lord that cheap shit over me
'specially when i'm 'sposed to be invincible
AM invincible... okada izou, the man-slayer
no subject
no subject
i guess not
no subject
Years of hard work can never be undermined by an ability that's only been acquired for a handful of days or weeks.
You may lose to an opponent but that in itself is a whetstone to sharpen your art and allow you to improve.
Why then are you distressed?
no subject
'cause if i ain't the strongest, then what's the point of me bein' here?
doin' good... doing great things for people
when they've moved on from me, and i'm not wanted...
all of that shit's gonna feel hollow
( turns it again and again and again. )
i know what we're here for...
and i'll these protect people, just like they want me to
but ain't you ever been worried about bein' left behind?
no subject
Haha, is that what you're worried about?
Being left behind by the future.
no subject
it's, more—
( the present. but enough of all this whining. enough of this shit. )
... m'sorry
just forget you went read all that
delete it, or whatever you wanna do with it
no subject
It's more?
no subject
after all, the future ain't a sure thing here
no subject
Because someone has a higher kill count than you? Has more achievements? Receives more praise?
no subject
just feels like i need to stay... useful
no subject
no subject
that's really the question, isn't it?
and though the points posed resonate with him, a siren rings out in the cabin of the superyacht, throwing izou out of this conversation and into his supposed duties. solving the matter of his insecurities will have to come at another time. )
