[ 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. ]

Apparently we do to them. But it's probably a hero-type thing. Most of them are like that. There's very few real people here. Even less that I'd actually call friends.

Same here. Some look okay at first, but then you do something and suddenly they think they're your freaking mother.

Seriously, I'm a lion. If I had a mother she'd most likely eat me, not baby me around!

But you and Lilichan -- you're close, right?

Not really. We hang out at times since we dislike the same things.

Mutual bitching makes a pretty good starting point for a friendship, I'd say.

So? She's a human. She might think I'm hot, but that's about it.

She tries to help me. [He says it like it's a bad thing.]

Are you afraid to let her, Leo?

Are you afraid to let yours help you, Haru?

[ He shrugs, being honest. ]

I am. I don't want them to help me or change me. I'm content the way I am -- fucked up flaws and all.

It's just that I'm real good pretending otherwise, ya know?

Ha. And what makes you think that I'm not the same?

I don't think you're not the same. That's why I asked in the first place.

[There's a long pause.]

I'm not. I just don't want anybody close to me ever again after the shit that you and Ryoki pulled.

[The answer is honest. The way he says it makes it stating a matter of fact, not an invitation to fight.]

[ Haru appears amused. ]

Ha ha, I don't think it's fair to base your trust on what shitty guys me and Ryoki are! Almost everyone here's gotta be better than that.

So? The camel's back is already broken.

Camel, maybe. But you're a lion.

So? That means that I'm even less of a pack animal.

I don't need any more 'promises'.

But I think you could use a friend.

No offense, but you're really not the right one to lecture me on that.

It's not like I'm saying me.

I know. Still, the point stays the same.

[ Sigh. ]

Whatever. [ He's too exhausted to argue. They're both in fucked up places and there's nothing either of them can do about it, so there's no point in helping. ]

Anyway, I got some company coming over.

Gotcha. [He hesitates for a moment and it's obvious that it's not easy for him to say what he says next.] Keep an eye on Ryoki for me, okay?

[ Haru's eyebrows lift at first, but then his expression softens a little. ]

I'll do my best.

[ Because it's nice to know Leo still cares -- even if he's being a stubborn cat about this whole thing! (But then again, Haru's a cat too so can he blame him?) ]

Good. [He allows himself to smile a little.]

You're a crazy idiot as well, but out of all three of us I'm willing to bet that you're the one with the most experience of staying alive. So thanks.

Much fun with your visitor. [Click.]
