cuteobsessed[Welp, this is not what he expected. His back hurts, he's been left out in the cold, strange world with nothing but an ugly pair of white pants, and...he has things growing out of his back. And a book with his name on it. Oh, and a ugly scar on his chest. So unfair.
Afterlife? You are officially on Notice. You suck. Hardcore. Like a sucky thing.
But at least you have cute wings. Even if they're painful.
Not sure where to go, he wanders around in the forest, tapping the book against his shoulder before carelessly flipping through it - and turning on the video and voice function. The video only shows flashes of the ground and grass or white-clad legs, but the voice picks him up loud and clear.]
---sucks. Where's a guy gotta go to see what's goin' on down below, huh? Ain't someone supposed to come greet me?
Man, I hope I don't get stuck here alone forever. Talkin' to myself is borin'. Reeeeeally boring.
...Whoa, was that a squirrel?

Date: 2011-05-05 04:10 am (UTC)Maybe his mind was just playing tricks on him. He swallows and tries to pretend that he speaks to disembodied voices issuing forth from a book every day.]
...oh. I apologize, I thought--ah, you sounded like an old friend, but there's no way...[He coughs.] Please forgive me for the mix-up.
voice
Date: 2011-05-05 04:14 am (UTC)The people he thought of as family had murdered him.
But here he is. Plain as day. Alive as always. That same gentle voice that Heisuke hasn't heard in far too long.]
...It can't be you.
voice
Date: 2011-05-05 04:24 am (UTC)...I'm afraid I don't understand.
voice
Date: 2011-05-05 04:29 am (UTC)[But when Heisuke finally looks at the book, he can see it. The little window that shows a frozen picture of the person who is speaking.
And it's him. It's Yamanami. He's...alive.]
...Y-Yamanami-san....
[The quiet way he says his name gives way to an almost panicked shouting.]
Where are you!? Where have you been?! I'll come find you! Just tell me where you are!
voice
Date: 2011-05-05 04:55 am (UTC)--and then the deluge of questions.]
I-I...[He looks around swiftly, trying to pick out landmarks.] I was just outside of Kyoto, and now I'm--[This really isn't helped by the fact that he's been robbed of his sense of direction; which way is north anyway?] on a hillside. There's a village to my right, a forest right behind me...I'm sorry I can't give you any better information than that.
voice ---> action
Date: 2011-05-05 05:09 am (UTC)[Heisuke scrambles and picks up the book, running out to find him. He has no idea where in this crazy place Yamanami is, but he doesn't care. If it takes all day, he will find him.
As he runs, he starts calling out his name.]
Yamanami-san! Yamanami-san!!
action
Date: 2011-05-05 05:22 am (UTC)Or perhaps it was Toudou-kun that they sent. He sighs and smiles to himself as he closes the book and waits.
...several minutes later, there it is, faint but unmistakable: his name being shouted over and over again.]
--Toudou-kun! [He squints and makes out the shape of someone running in his direction. Making a guess, Sannan stands up and waves, even though the motion doesn't agree with his aching back.]
action
Date: 2011-05-05 05:30 am (UTC)Balling his fists at his side, Heisuke runs up to him and barrels right into him, burying his face against his chest. He's real. Yamanami is real. He's alive. It's...just like that time. The time before.]
Why didn't you--! You big dummy! Why did you do all that?!
action
Date: 2011-05-05 05:51 am (UTC)Ahahaha...[One hand reaches up and shakily readjusts his glasses.] Well, I guess it was just because I wanted to explore the "outside", that's all. No good reason.
action
Date: 2011-05-05 05:56 am (UTC)[He's barely keeping himself from crying now and he just tries to restrain himself from doing what Shinpachi did and punching Yamanami straight out.]
...You're outside now. ...So don't you go anywhere anymore!
action
Date: 2011-05-05 06:04 am (UTC)I'll try my best.
[beat]
Where are we, anyway? This isn't a dream?
action
Date: 2011-05-05 06:11 am (UTC)[He stops trying to crush Yamanami under the weight of his wangst and sits up, rubbing his eyes.]
...It's...crazy. I don't really know all of it yet, but Shinpatsuan and Souji and all them were explaining it to me. Sort of. It's some weird place called Luceti.
action
Date: 2011-05-05 07:25 am (UTC)Look what you did, Heisuke - you ruffled his feathers....that will take some getting used to.] I didn't think so, it felt too real--
--oh, Nagakura-kun and Okita-kun are here too? [He looks vaguely taken aback.] That's...a lot of people.
action
Date: 2011-05-05 07:27 am (UTC)Yeah. ...a lot.
...
B-But! Don't you worry! I'm sure it'll be okay! It's just us. We're all friends here. Just like back at the Shieikan.
action
Date: 2011-05-05 07:42 am (UTC)Well, if Toudou-kun says so, I can definitely trust him, right?
action
Date: 2011-05-05 07:45 am (UTC)Yeah! You can count on me, Yamanami-san! Let's go get you your clothes and get you settled in, huh? It'll be great! Just like old times!
