[ The video starts with a view of a large crow zooming in and out of the frame in a panic. Then BANG! There's a loud sound from off-screen that the camera spins over to the three-legged crow flat against the wall, before comically sliding down.]

Onyx, what are you doing?!

[ There's a hoarse rasp that comes from the person holding the camera. Reluctantly, he turns the camera view towards a bunch of blankets, and Crow's head pops out of the bundle. The spunky redhead isn't quite as energetic at the moment, instead, he looks a bit stressed out.]

It's an apocalyptic catastrophe!

[ Crow's words come out as a scratchy croak. His poor angelic voice! He sounds horrible! ]

I think I lost my voice! And I need to fix it before the concert! Help! It's a crimson emergency! And I think drinking milk makes it worse!

[ He can't stand to hear his voice like this, so he's going to dive back into his cocoon of blankets. He's not going to subject anyone else's ears to this dissonance either. Crow's familiar tries to comfort him by perching on top of the pile of blankets and gently tapping his beak against it. There, there. Crow stops the video but follows up with a text after:]

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY HOME REMEDIES TO CURE THIS?!!!! I'LL DRINK EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN!!! I'LL DO ANYTHING EXCEPT SELL MY SOUL TO LUCIFER!! I JUST WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONCERT, DAMN IT!!!

[Ouch.]

Yeah.

[Better to put some acceptance of that out there. Gokudera'd rather not be making friends, anyway, so for anyone else reading this on the network... he's got a shitty personality. Leave him alone, please.]

It's anything but a blessing. Just part of the bad luck.

[milkmycattle]

[Hmmm? That's not the response he's looking for, instead, he just gets a rather nonchalant agreement. That puts Crow off more than Gokudera's remarks from earlier.]

Tch! At least deny it a little!

And whatever! You're the one who answered my message! So what does that say about you?

[bakudan_bambino]

Why? You don’t know anything about me.

I was bored and it was fun to mock you. There, said it outright.

[milkmycattle]

I don't know you, but that's exactly why you don't accept someone saying you have a shitty personality. I'm sure you're not completely terrible.

[At least this teen is being honest, but Crow doesn't have to like it!]

Glad you got a good laugh, but this situation isn't for your entertainment! If you're so bored then you should come to the concert on Sunday!

[Of course, he's going to plug in the event somehow.]

[bakudan_bambino]

Maybe I’ll just agree with whatever because you don’t know me, and you know making assumptions is rude. Instead of giving you an argument to needlessly comment to, think about what you say and why you say it. You know, before it leaves your mouth or you send it via text.

[He’s going to light a new cigarette, appearing very calm despite what he may be saying. Even his time is relatively detached.]

I was bored when you posted. Don’t know if I’ll be bored on Sunday or not. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

[milkmycattle]

Yeah, yeah. 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt' bullshit! You don't need to lecture me! I know half the stuff that comes out of my mouth is shit! Though the other half is brutally honest! If I say something there's a reason I said it! So don't act like you don't have a part in the misconceptions people have about you!

[ Crow is surprised most of that didn't come out as complete key smashing because he's fuming!]

Well cross the bridge faster, and just come! Not for me, but support the other talent there!

[bakudan_bambino]

So then why say it?

However people want to think or feel about me is not something I'm bothered with changing. I don't care enough about them.

[You included, Crow.]

I never said I wasn't going, but I'm keeping my schedule open on that day. I have other priorities.

[milkmycattle]

Does it matter? You don't care what I think about you, and you shouldn't since you have nothing to prove to me.

[And that's valid. Though this kid is a tough nut to crack, he'll be lying if he said he wasn't interested in seeing what's underneath the surface.]

Well, pencil in a two-hour placeholder anyway! You can do that right?

[bakudan_bambino]

Good point.

[Gokudera will just shrug that off, then.]

I can.

[No promises on whether he'll actually attend.]
