_{[ 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.

[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.

[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.

[glitterpants]

_{[ he's just stupidly standing in the frame here, sweating gayly....
or in this case, heterosexually.. ]}

[doxing]

[ichimyatsu]

[His mouth quirks into a frown and then he shrugs, rolling his eyes only enough to look like a brat, not actively disrespectful.]

All right, I'll give you that. I've never killed someone though, he's just afraid of me.

[doxing]

And why, exactly, is he afraid of his own brother?

(SMELLS... GOSSIP.)

[ichimyatsu]

Because he's a pansy and I'm an asshole, simply put.

[doxing]

That is simply put. A little like your guys' minds, right?

(tapping a painted lip with a painted nail.)

I guess idiocy can be cute, though. Sometimes.

[ichimyatsu]

[He bristles, going red in the face and huffing at her.]

Okay you don't get to be hot and mean that's legitimately unfair I will actually die. [And makes her so, so much more enticing to him and Sombra that's never a good thing, don't appeal to the sadomasochistic shitty cat Matsu, don't do that.]

1/2

[doxing]

...

(tfw hot and mean are your only two settings...
)

2/2

[doxing]

I don't care if you go ahead and die, but I'm not cleaning up the damn mess.

(sorry for being okay with your brother dying karamatsu... this is a betrayal...)

[ichimyatsu]

[He provides possibly the singular point of non-violent contact with Karamatsu he has given in several years if not their entire lives, dramatically dropping sideways to mash his forehead into the back of his shoulder.]

Ah, oh no, I'm dead now. I'll come back and haunt your painful ass, Karamatsu, remember me well.

[doxing]

(SIMULTANEOUSLY CHARMED AND PISSED OFF BY THIS DISPLAY.)

Just stick together and don't do anything you'd normally do.

(turning her face away, DISGUSTED AT ALL OF THIS, hanging up.)

[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... ]}
