009 ♥ video (january 28th)

[ Haru makes his first network appearance in a while, in an expensive tub filled with bubbles. From the fancy decor to the well-polished floors, this is obviously a hotel room. A casual smirk slowly splays across his lips. ]

Woooo, woooo....it's the sound of the DEMISE network police, coming around to remind you newbies of the three very important rules of living here in Death City.

[ His sud-covered hand lifts toward the screen, one finger extended. ]

Rule number one~! No nudity without censors. [ He pans the feed down toward his barely covered body with just enough bubbles pooled around to conceal. ] See. This is okay because you can't really see anything.

Rule number two! You need to watch your language. There are plenty of children who can't hear the words cock, fuck, dick... [ He claps his hand over his mouth in mock innocence before continuing on: ] -- so find creative words for those things. Do you want to suck my lollipop works.

Rule number three! [ And there's a bitter, dark laugh at this. ] You're not allowed to be anything other than happy, perky, heroic or anything along those lines. Anything darker is just not allowed. So sorry for you bad guy types. Sorry for you not-so-good types. You're gonna have to change who you are to please them if you want to live peacefully in this city~! But if you can follow those three rules, you should be just fine.

[ He wears the brightest of smiles. Passive aggressive, much? ]

Oh. And for all you newbies who aren't prudes? My name's Haru. I'm a sex pro. Call me sometime and we'll discuss rates, mmmkay~? ♥

[ He blows a kiss. ]

No. I'm fine, really, thank you.

Alright. See ya soon.

See you, Haru.

[ It takes roughly a half hour before Haru gets back to the apartment, removing his shoes at the door and shrugging off his coat to fold it over his arm. ]

I'm home.

[ It had only been a week and yet it feels like it's been so much longer since he's been back in his own place, in his own space, and in his own bed. ]

[Stripp was sitting at the couch, waiting for Haru. She didn't particularly know how she'd face him. While she wasn't happy with what happened and she really wanted to talk to him about it, after a lot of thought regarding the subject, she came to the conclusion that no matter how it hurt her to admit it, she really isn't able to reach Haru as much as she believed she did.

When the woman hears the door and the familiar voice, she turns her head and gets up, smiling] Welcome home.

[ He offers her a smile, coming over to plant a kiss on her cheek. ]

So, what did you make me?

[ Haru sniffs the air as though he can catch a hint of the food, so quick to go back to the way things were -- putting on a complete show of hey, everything's normal here. Nothing to worry about! Because he hated when people worried about him. He hates that he worried Stripp in the first place or that she cares enough to worry. In his life, the only one he really had who cared was Akira -- and even she understood and fed his drug addiction. ]

Spaghetti alla Bolognese. Basically, pasta with meat, but fancier since it's from Italy [She moves to the kitchen to grab him a plate and put some food in it] There is beer on the fridge if you want some. And the troll brought icecream. [Because Handmaid doesn't have a name, so Stripp calls her the "troll".]

It sounds amazing.

[ And it really did. The mention of all the delicious things are enough to make his mouth water. He heads to the fridge and collects two beers for them, setting those on the table before plopping down on his seat. ]

Is she gonna live with us now? Your friend, that is?

Uh. No, I don't think so. I offered her to stay for while, but that's it. [Stripp didn't want to be alone]

We aren't exactly friends. I'm trying, but she doesn't trust people that easily.

She will. Just give her time.

[ It's not easy to trust, after all. Haru digs into the plate of food and offers a smile. ]

It's really good.

I know. [she nods softly] It's okay, thought. She can be nice.

[at the compliment, Stripperella smiles wider] Thank you, Haru.

And she's cute. She talked to me a little bit on the network before I got home. I like her horns.

Is she in trouble? Is that why she's staying here? Or were you just... [ Lonely...is what is unspoken here. Haru doesn't say it, because saying it might start them on the topic of what happened, and he'd rather avoid it as much as he can. ]

Hm, she is! I like the skin too. Trolls are really pretty. [Stripp laughs softly, however, at the question, the laugher dies]

[yes, she was lonely. That's probably the main reason why Stripp invited her to live at the apartment for a while. However, she shakes her head]. She got in trouble at a bar, and was worried they'd be waiting for her at home or something.

[ Haru laughs softly. ]

Well it's good of you to keep her out of trouble. Stripp-chan, everyone's protector.

[ He raises his beer at this before taking a chug. ]

[She smiles softly, watching him, but turns her eyes away after muttering after, a whisper really] I wish.

[ Haru pretends to eat in silence, but there's this heavy layer of guilt just hanging over them. He's not sure how to pop it, how to approach. If he says he's sorry...he doesn't really mean it. He'd do it again and do it right next time if he could. Still, for conversation's sake...he says it anyway. ]

I'm sorry, Strippchan. Sorry you had to go through all of that.

This isn't about me. [more than sorry that she went through all of that, Stripp was a lot more worried about Haru and his reasons why he went through all of it himself.]

But it is!

[ He protests, looking at her with conviction. ]

Because I care about you... [ More than he really cares about himself. ]

It's not, Haru! Do you think in this situation, I want you to think of me? Do you think this situation is about me or what you did to me or what I felt? [she looks at him, also with conviction]

It's not me you should apologize to.

[ Haru looks at her for a prolonged moment before his jaw clenches and he returns his attention to his meal, shoveling pasta in his mouth and focusing on eating until his plate is cleared. ]

I'm going out. Meeting one of the new guests tonight. I'll probably be a few hours.

[ Let's just go back to pretending. ]

[Stripp looks to the side, not happy with Haru avoiding it. She had promised herself she wouldn't bother Haru, but at the same time, it hurts her that he doesn't trust her enough for this]

... is it always going to be like this?

[ He gets up, bringing his plate to the sink before spinning back around to face her -- approaching and sliding his arms around her shoulders, dangling them there loosely. ]

Stripp, I'm fine. I'm clean. And that's why I don't need you worrying about me. Worrying causes wrinkles, you know.

[liar. That's what she wanted to say. But pressing this subject any further would lead to something bad, most likely.]

Yeah...

Let's have a nice day out, you and me. We can do lunch and get manicures. I kind of tore my nails to bits.

[ He frowns, glancing down at them. ]

[she smiles softly and nods]

Yes, of course. I guess I'm needing that too.
