Radio Memory

The clatter of geta on wooden floors and Daitou's voice. It sounds like he's talking to himself.]

"Yes! I want some too!"

[The footsteps stop abruptly, and Rain's voice comes in among a burst of static]

"Where are you going?"

"Um, you know, [static] healthy food doesn't taste so good..."
[There's a pause while someone - most likely Daitou - coughs, somewhat wetly. He sounds a little breathless when he speaks again]
"So every once in a while... I want to eat sweet stuff..."

[Rain is having none of this, and that much is clear even with voice alone.]

"Then I'll bring something to your room. You shouldn't be out in the cold air until your fever goes down a little. And your throat doesn't sound good, either."

[Dai, clearly dejected-] "Oh... Well I want to eat, but... How can I say this..." [He sighs softly and then continues.] "...Look. Everyone's over there... It's been so long... I want to be with everyone... You know?"

[There's a long pause as Rain considers this, then the sudden clatter of geta again and Daitou's triumphant cry.]

"Now's my chance!!"
"Running is bad for your health!"
"I'm fine!!"

Ah...Daitou?

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Apple?

[He doesn't sound surprised. More just...thoughtful. And maybe a little worried. He's heard enough of the other memories to know everyone heard this one too.]

Sweet food is really tasty but healthy food is better. Especially if you're sick.

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a good thing I'm not sick then, ne?

[Here's to hoping chibis can't hear that slightly false cheer. Even chibis who saw him cough up his own blood >_>]

[identity profile] crowsloveapples.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)


I guess so.

[identity profile] crowsloveapples.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)


I guess so.

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Is something wrong?

[identity profile] crowsloveapples.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm?

I was just wondering. Who was the person talking to you? Do you remember?

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! [LIE SUCCESSFUL] His name is Rain - he lives here, too.

[identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Okay...]

Daitou.

[A pause - he's thinking of questions that he doesn't mind everyone else hearing. It's hard. There aren't many.]

...Was that yours or mine?

[identity profile] longnosedliar.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[That wet sounding sort of cough... well, that doesn't evoke anything pleasant in Sniper's mind.]

That cough didn't sound too good, Daitou.

[identity profile] crowsloveapples.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Rain. I've seen his name before.

He's a good friend.

I want to meet him someday.

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
He is, even if he's so serious all the time.

[Awww chibi]

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[pause]

Is there any way to tell for sure?

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[This situation calls for boldfaced lies!]

I guess I must have had a cold or something.

[identity profile] longnosedliar.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
That wasn't a cold sort of cough.

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, you think so?

[identity profile] longnosedliar.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I think so. Daitou, I-- okay, I don't know how I know, because I don't know. But that's really doesn't sound good. Just--get it checked out at least? Even if you haven't been coughing hee.

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He actually sounds somewhat serious when he answers this time]

...Alright.

[identity profile] longnosedliar.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Good. Maybe it's just something you had a long time ago and you got... better, but it's always good to double check. Just in case.

[Okay, now he's lying. Because he thinks - knows - that those are the sort of coughs that don't get better.]

[identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose it makes little difference.

[Long pause, and then spoken softly, as if testing the sound of the words to himself:]

We were friends. [Because why else would he have cared that much? It's not like he was his doctor, or anything...]

[identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Totally stalking this, btw.]

[identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

Would you rather talk in person?

[identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
If you're willing.
