_{[ The feed clicks on and shows not one, but two-almost-Karamatsus. The difference between them is easy to see once you find it: Karamatsu’s confident posture and Ichimatsu’s slouch— Karamatsu’s bold eyebrows and Ichimatsu’s stubby ones. Yes, this is one out of the five other identical brothers that Karamatsu has. Some of you have met them both and maybe have noticed the difference right away, others may still be struggling to tell them apart. Here they are, side by side, though, and it may be hard to make out good details of them in the dim light. Karamatsu clears his throat, looking rather serious for a change. It takes him awhile to speak, running one hand down his face and curving it around his chin, obviously distressed by all of this. Ichimatsu? Not so much. ]}

Ah, good evening, everyone. It’s I, Karamatsu.
It’s been.. awhile since I have spoken with you all, but I come baring some tragic news. Yesterday, me and my brother took a walk through the atrium to find better sources of light. What we found was something else. In the trees, we found the gruesome display of organs thrown over the vegetation in a horrific showcase. A—ah, that’s.. not all that we have found..

_{[ He looks a little pale just talking about this and for a moment he has to pardon himself out of the camera. ]}

...You’re still sick about that? Pansy.

[Ah, there’s another difference. While they both speak in deeper voices than one might expect from their looks, Ichimatsu speaks much less clearly, barely opening his mouth and mumbling as opposed to Karamatsu’s clear enunciation. Nevermind the fact that Ichimatsu looks approximately like he’s not used a hairbrush in a week. He rolls his shoulders and takes over, scrunching his face at his brother off-screen.]

There was a boot in the trail, dunno what happened to the other one. The viscera was all up in the trees, like he said, but it was too dark to really tell what was where and if any of them was still intact. There was also a heart in a gold box-- we surrendered it to find out who it belonged to, so I guess there’s not really anything for a burial.

_{[ Karamatsu returns to the feed, wiping his lips across his sleeve. ]}
….For those of you who are friends and family of a passenger named “Rey” … my condolences go out to you. Please keep close to those people you love. Thank you.

(oh, great. sorry ichimatsu, this first one's for karamatsu... she's got an odd standing with him.)

You got your gun with you, Kara? Keep it on you at all times, now, got it?

(then she addresses both brothers.)

Chin up, boys. This is gonna get messier.

_{[ fffffuck it's Sombra.
try not to nut, try not to nut.....]}

Oh, my sweet rose, I'll have you know I have not taken my hands off of my gun at all. Truly, your concern is treasured within my heart.
_{[ he never told??? Ichimatsu?? that he got a gun?? ]}

If you are going to use your thorns to prick deeply into the flesh of the enemy we are dealing with, I would love to observe you.
_{[ and get sick again? Who knows how much ass Sombra is capable of kicking and how messy she is with it. ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[Excuse him as he butts right the fuck in here.]

You had a gun? This whole time, and you didn't even pull it out once. In retrospect I'm glad 'cause you'd have probably shot me while you were puking your guts onto that tree.

[He glances at Sombra.]

You gave this idiot a gun?

[doxing]

Relax. I had to get him to shut up somehow. You get me?

(this is a LIE, IT'S A LIE!!!)

Why, are you jealous? You want one too?

[glitterpants]

_{[ BUTTS RIGHT THE FUCK BACK IN HERE. ]}
Ah, Sombra-san! You can't give Ichimatsu anything lethal!

_{[ You don't know what he might do to other people.. or himself. The response seems a bit mean, but Karamatsu thinks it's his way of protecting both Ichimatsu and other people. ]}

His intentions.. are less pure than mine, I assure you.

[ichimyatsu]

[Without even missing a beat.]

Do you even know how to fire the gun she gave you.

1.2

[glitterpants]

2.2

[glitterpants]

Heh. I may not know how to fire this gun, but I do know how to fire through the hearts of millions—
Bang~★!

[ichimyatsu]

[He just turns back to the feed and Sombra, expression blank but still somehow clearly annoyed.]

If you've got any spare weaponry laying around I'd be game, though I haven't got any practical experience.

[doxing]

No practical experience, yet your brother thinks you're gonna kill somebody. Is that what I'm workin' with here, boys?

[ichimyatsu]

If I'm gonna kill somebody it's gonna be him, really. And isn't that doing everyone a favor?

[doxing]

Not particularly. He hasn't done anything of note, except embarrass himself publicly and tell me I'm a sweet rose.

(EXAMINES NAILS.)

So, as far as I'm concerned, he's the least of everyone's worries.

[doxing]

Hmmm? (slowblink...) You're pretty serious about this, aren't you?

[glitterpants]

I am. I'd be careful handing him anything that could be dangerous.
_{[ Karamatsu is mainly worried about Ichimatsu using whatever Sombra could offer to harm him. ]}

[doxing]

No gun for Ichi, then! Goootcha.

(look, she can behave)

[glitterpants]

You'll thank me later. I promise.
_{[ WHEW he almost just died right now thank you for listening sombra-chan... ]}

[doxing]

It's not— (concern, damnit... crying inside...............)

You wanna watch me fight? It doesn't sound like you're quite ready to handle that, when you just puked your guts up on a live network feed, there, Kara...

[glitterpants]

.. Do you often decorate the trees with the organs of your opponents?
_{[ Because yeah.. maybe not.. ]}

[doxing]

Do you know how messy that'd be? Eugh, I don't even wanna think about it.

(WAVES HAND)

If you can watch me fight, it means I'm doing something wrong. Just stick to being you. Y'know, with less puke.

[glitterpants]

_{[ stick to.. being you..
Karamatsu gestures at his nose, as if making sure he understood her correctly. Stick to being you— didn't Osomatsu say something like that before to him when he was worried about his own personality? ]}

Ah, of course! I cannot be bothered to be anything else less extravagant!
_{[ because he isn't extravagant at all— there's nothing less extravagant for him to be but himself.
But he can't let people know that. ]}

[doxing]

(putting that hand right on a hip.)

Well, I'm a hypocrite. I'm full of lies.

(a smirk, eyebrow quirking.)

Are you?

[glitterpants]

_{[ what the fuck she's so slick... ]}
A..ah.. uh..

_{[ For once, he actually has no idea what to say for.. a good while.. then he lifts a finger. ]}

I'm not. I am filled with love. It's rare to find that in people nowadays, isn't it?
_{[ yeah, he lies a lot, especially to himself. ]}

[doxing]

There's a thin line between love and hate.

(a hum, looking away from the camera like there's something happening off-screen. there's not, she's simply feeling aloof and trying to maintain a good arm's distance between them. especially when it comes to this kind of topic.)

But you're damn right, it is.

[glitterpants]

_{[ Oh, how interesting. For somebody really oblivious, Karamatsu does notice that shift in her behavior. ]}

I see. So who are you, then?
Somebody filled with love, or somebody filled with hate?

_{[ he loves profound conversations like this.. please don't encourage them.... ]}

[doxing]

(hate, comes the knee-jerk thought. that all-consuming kind that rules and ruins lives.

but she smirks, leaning onto a hand.)

What a nosy boy. What do you think?
