soul_campaign | [Video] In a bit of a Jam

[Beyond has had to restrain himself all the way to his assigned home. It was so hard not to go and follow that white haired moron who just couldn't bloody give him what he wanted. He's sure that L is here now, if not it's that dumb, useless Naomi Misora. Either way, he had an image to hold up and had decided this was the best way to do things. He looks quite like L, only the smallest, most subtle differences that would require the screen to be closer to see or him in front to relay other than some of the mannerisms that he wasn't able to study in full.

He's laying on his bed, arms outstretched in front of him, on his side with a bit of his cheek hidden in the pillow even if both wide eyes are staring into ~~your soul~~ the screen.]

Hello.
As it seems there is a man who both has my name and possibly the answers to who I am. After being toyed with jerked about even by one of your residents I had just met I profess a lesser tolerance for it at this time. He thought it hilarious, I'm sure, to pretend to give a damn and then walk off to leave me questioning both my sanity, my life as it was and just who I can trust around a strange place that I've no knowledge of, no more than a fledgling. I thought that perhaps it wouldn't make a difference if I asked everyone if they know who I am. I've no memories prior to the room and only that Ryuzaki is significant to me.

There must be one compassionate person within the lot of you, I trust that statistics hold out in there is always a chance of meeting someone who doesn't -- how does it go? -- get off on another's misery still applies here.

[He brings his thumb to his lip, eyes wide and unblinking into the mirror while he's seemingly trying to study it while it broadcasts him.]
Also, any information on how to use this system more efficiently would be greatly appreciated. I'd owe you one, in other words.

Thank you.

[Instead of turning off the system, Beyond lets it sit on his bed face down and no more than bare feet are seen walking out of one part of the room and into the next to see just what there was there.]

[Audrey's second message reached him and he frowned. He'd wrangled a lunch break and started towards Death by Pastry. he peered inside and spotted the familiar blonde.

That was the guy? Interesting. Audrey made weird friends.

The little bell dings and he pointedly ignores the glares from patrons, making his way over to the pair.]

[Beyond isn't looking in her direction, really, he's looking at the reflection of her body in the mirror to make sure she's not trying to pull something on him while his back is turned.]

Ah. I see.

[He does, sort of, but assumes their relationship is based on latent sexual desire anyway. No matter, he's now turning his head over his shoulder the best he can to see the man that's walked in. He's looking that way, but he's not ending the conversation with Audrey. His finger presses at the middle of his bottom lip.]
Job hunting. Is that him?

[ Dwight catches her eye - and New Ryuzaki's - when he walks in, which is unusual. He must know something's up - like her blood pressure.

Audrey nods to New Ryuzaki, making eye contact with Dwight. ]

Yes, that's my partner, [ she responds meaningfully, turning her head just slightly in his direction and shooting him a firm look.

Then she looks back at Dwight and waves, giving him a faint smile. NO, NO LATENT SEXUAL DESIRE, GEEZ. Mind out of the gutter, B. ]

And you might want to look for a job with the Guest businesses. Don't know if you caught the tension from the locals in Death City, but. There's tension.

[Dwight walked over, waving slightly at the brunette and managing to catch the end of Audrey's sentece.]

Tension is...a light way of putting it.

[He looked at the other customers before looking at Audrey.]

Whose your friend?

I've been made aware. But I will-- [He moves his head toward the wave of that hand, studying it and then back to the man approaching.] --be wary.

[He's quiet after the chime in by the newcomer and has no qualms about offering the same hand at which his thumb had been resting neatly by his lip-- it's what people do right? Shake hands?]
She is Audrey.

[~~B. He didn't mean her.~~]

[ She turns to Dwight, and makes a face somewhere between amused and embarrassed at him when Beyond introduces her to her own partner. ]

Dwight, this is, ah. [ She pauses, grasping for a minute. ] The Other Ryuzaki.

[ She isn't clear whether Dwight's met the first Ryuzaki or not, but this is so crazy familiar to her that she can't help the odd nickname. Like her and Other Audrey. ]

Ryuzaki, this is Dwight. My partner. [ She hesitates and squeezes her eyes shut; this next part is so awkward it's painful. ] Not my husband. Just so that's clear.

[ Yeah, face is hot and turning a little red. She won't be able to look Dwight in the eye for a while. ]

Nice to meet you, kid.

[He hasn't met the other Ryuzaki...so this guy will be the only Ryuzaki to him for a while.

And...wait...husband? Dwight blinks a bit before looking down at the two.]

Why would it not be clear?

[Kid? Goat? Alright, that was fine, people called people endearing animal names always at home and it didn't seem to bother Beyond too much, not with the prospect of jam.

He looked from Audrey to Dwight. Settling his hand back into his pocket then for the time being.]

She said you were her partner and spoke fondly of you, in fact, because she's afraid I might be a threat, you were the one she called. Logic depicts a link between the two might be intimate if that full of trust.

[ Where is Nathan with a cup of coffee when she needs one?

Or maybe a beer. Beer would be better.

She smiles, a little too brightly, and just tries to take deep, calming breaths. ]

No. We aren't intimate. He's just... [ Sideways look at Dwight. ] The only one I know from home. [ Rarely does she actually allow herself to call Haven home - even though that is what it is - but she does so now to clarify. ]

Speaking of... [ She holds her hands out; truth be told, she is much more comfortable now that Dwight is there with her. ] See anyone in here that you recognize? It's a good possibility that there are people you know around here.

[ She's trying so hard to be helpful, sob. ]

[This is just amusing; so Dwight is grinning to himself.]

Trust comes in a lot of ways, but yeah we aren't married.

[Oh man...he'd pay to see Nathan's reaction to something like that. Dwight hovers back, standing comfortably beside the two. His attention is on them and on the people around them.]

[He shrugs his already slumped shoulders.]
I don't recognize anyone here, not yet at least. If I see myself then I'll know I've found him.

[Beyond would say it to whoever he had to, he's not outweighing the connection of calling someone to your aid just yet even if these two aren't.]

It's too bad, from what I know, Marriage is an institution founded in trust. Shall we sit down instead of muse of marriage?

[In fact he's already sitting down, you two can follow if you want.]

[ Audrey gives Dwight a look; hopefully he wouldn't be crazy enough to enjoy this. ]

Sure. [ She nods, walking over and sitting as well. After a moment, she flags down a waitress with a sharp smile. ] I just want a slice of some chocolate cake, please.

[ She looks across the table. ] Go on, my treat!
