[014] [video/action] happy, happy birthday, from all of us to you
[The video starts up and Touya looks rather intensely into the camera. For having just turned 21, he looks fairly grumpy.]
Okay, so my birthday only comes around once every four years, technically, so I figure I get a free pass at this. It isn't a joke, nobody laugh.
The person... people... [He huffs in frustration and decides to keep this simple.] The person I'm with wants to take our relationship to an intimate level and I don't know how to make it special or memorable or nice or whatever. Can anyone give me some advice or something?
[A fairly hostile video for a request but... the subject has clearly been on his mind for a few days. Long enough that he's so desperate for advice, he's gone public.]
[Action]
[Even though it's his birthday, Touya isn't making such a big deal out of it. He goes to work at Seventh Heaven, picks up some groceries (ingredients for one of his favorite meals), and walks home. Meanwhile, he's pondering the responses he's received from the network and, oddly enough, thinking about his mother. Had she ever thought that she would see her son turn 21? It wasn't much of a milestone, honestly, but Touya always tended to think about his mom on his birthday, and all of those small celebrations he'd had when he was younger. And how annoyed he was when his dad explained why Touya's birthday wasn't always on the calendar.]
[Some of these memories have Touya smiling at times when maybe it wasn't really appropriate to smile, but he isn't thinking about everyone else at the moment.]

...Wha... what?
[Video]
You - stay over there!
[Video]
You mean stay in the house? [He looks in the direction of the house Touya thinks he's seen this person coming out of once in a while.] Euh... I have to go to work today. I can't just not go.
[Video]
[Don leans over the journal and growls.]
[Video]
[Video]
[Don bellows with insane rage.]
((Okay if Robert threadjacks here? 8D ))
[Action]
[So he does what any rational person would: he goes to lock the door. Just... in case, since Yue and Yuki are gone at the moment.]
((Threadjack away! /o/))
[Accidental-ish voice?] 1/? | oh god I can't stop laughing
D-Don, what on Terra are you d-doing...?!
[Accidental-ish voice still] 2/? | sfdjhsf seriously
D-Dear gods, did you r-really need to... scream -
[- and he's fumbling for his own journal now -]
[Actually on-purpose Voice now] 3/3
In a very different tone, albeit breathlessly:]
M-My... my utmost... a-apologies, sir...
...
... It... s-seems my partner is, er, h-having difficulties... v-vocalizing his... e-emotional state...
[Action] 1?
[Action] 2/?
[Video] 3/3
Mine.
[Video]
I think he's doing fine vocalizing, it's verbalizing that he's-- [OH GOD, SUDDEN TURTLE AGAIN.] Oi! Are you seriously grabbing-- [Facepalm, it never ends.] I have someone I'm happy with, that was the whole point of this. I wouldn't have even known he was your partner-like-that if you hadn't just pointed it out.
[Video]
...
[... Already this is mentally exhausting. Is he going to have to deal with this for the whole month?]
...
... P-Please... excuse us b-both. He... is not n-normally nearly so... a-aggressive. [The word has a slight note of disdain in it, though mostly Robert is just stressed.]
M-Might I have my journal back, p-please...?
[Video]
[Don hoards both of the journals. He doesn't care who Touya is or isn't interested in - he has two mates and Don needs to figure out how to get at them.]
[Video]
[Okay so. This really isn't Touya's business, and he really isn't angry about being growled at over the journal system or being accused of stealing someone's boyfriend--but he does take offense when he sees someone pushing their significant other around. That isn't right.]
Stop bullying him and give him back his journal! Are you really that insecure? I'd be exhausted too if my boyfriend was this inconsiderate.
[Video]
Robert, for his part, doesn't really know how to deal with this...]
...
[And it's getting someone else involved too, now.]
P-Please, Don... why can you n-not be reasonable...?
[His voice has an almost-pleading edge to it.]
[Video/Action]
[Video/Action]
[But if this guy is aggressive right now, that probably isn't the best idea. The last thing he wants is for Yuki to come home and find Touya with a bloody nose on his birthday, or worse.]
Look, what do you want from me, huh? You want me to pack up and move across town?
[Video/Action]
Directing his words more to Touya, now -] ... Th-this is, er, a t-temporary state - normally, he is very kind and c-calm and I am not certain wh-why his reaction this time is so extreme - [- really, he never even touched on it ever being this bad last year -] - and I s-sincerely apologize and do not wish to trouble you f-further...
...
... But, er... [... He doesn't know how much he wants to be alone with Don right now. And Leo's probably not much better.]
[Video/Action]
[... If Robert wants his journal back, he'll have to follow.]
[Video/Action]
[But he doesn't want to freak Yuki and Yue out by calling them over the journal. Nor does he want to start a big fight outside for no reason. He hadn't done anything.]
I think your boyfriend is upset. Maybe you should stop walking around outside and do something about it. Before he asks someone else to comfort him.
[Video/Action]
Yes... t-temporary... [That's good, right?
Unfortunately it will basically happen every year.]... p-perhaps I can, er, make this up to you, s-sir...? [... Too bad he doesn't know his name...] At... a l-later date.
... When Don is not being quite so... aggressive...
[Video/Action]
[And okay fine he can have his journal back. But Don is watching.]
