Seventh Feather [Video]

[Rakka's on the feed once more, this time in what looked to be a bedroom, sitting on a large bed. It's not the same bedroom as the other times, so it's probably safe to say that Rakka found a place to hide out for a while.

She's got a rather bad looking level of bedhead, random strands sticking up towards her halo. A number of downy, grey feathers are scattered around the bedspread which are obviously from her wings. Despite the mess, she's actually looking better than previously. At the least, she looks well rested.]

So... hey. Checking in, I guess. I'm okay if anyone was wondering, my wings are still sore and stuff, but they're not bleeding or anything.

[She brushes some hair from her face.] The feathers are kind of a problem though. I got some new memories though, like I think this is how I got my wings before, and this weird pillar of light...

[More rambling, nothing important, until Rakka suddenly rememebrs something. Leaving the screen for a moment, Rakka returns with a ring of keys in her hand.]

I found these a little before I called for help. Has anyone lost some keys? There's a lot of them on here-[As she runs a finger over the keys, there seems to be a tiny change in her. Her eyes widen a little, and it doesn't look like she's looking at anything in particular when she suddenly blurts out,]

I've never been on a date before!

[It's quick, and as soon as it's said things seem to return to normal. Rakka stutters for a moment, staring uncomprehendingly at the screen.]

...I-I... what the... Why did I-[Her fingers brush against the keys once more and she goes off again.]

I want my parents to actually care about me!

[Two hands are slammed over Rakka's mouth as she finishes that statement and the keys are dropped and forgotten. She stares at the screen in shock and horror for a moment before quickly moving forward and killing the feed.]

[Wow. Uh. Damn, dude.]

You okay over there?

Sort of?

Maybe.

...No.

Yeah.

[Ugh. She's bad at this. How do you make people feel better exactly?]

I kinda know where you're coming from there so, uh, I dunno. You wanna... talk, or something?

[Talking helps, right?]

[Talking helps. Talking is one of those things that can help.]

Yeah? Well, I guess we could talk. If you want to, or something.

[Teens are bad at explaining their feelings.]

[They sure are, especially this one. She's not shouting at something so it's... tricky for her. She's not really used to putting herself out there.]

Eh, my crap's old news. [Hypocrite.] Anyway, I'm not the one getting it all dragged out by some freaky-ass keys.

So is mine, kinda.

[Neither is Rakka, so at least they had this in common.]

I'm... really surprised that happened. Never expected something like that.

[Despite adapating to it in very different ways.]

No shit. It was those keys, right? More of this weirdo crap screwing with us?

[She's gonna have to watch out for keys.]

[They're going to have to watch out for basically everything by now. Literally everything seems to want to cause them harm.]

I think so. I picked up the keys and... I don't know, I just started blurting things out. I didn't mean to.

[Secret-blurting keys. ... Exploding poop-dropping digital pets. The list could go on.]

Shit.

Well, at least you didn't blurt anything too bad, right? I mean, you gotta have worse secrets than those.

......

[Well... There's one.]

Y-yeah, I guess.... I'm kind of afraid I'll end up saying more.

Yeah, that would suck pretty hard.

[Well, nothing to do about it now. Rakka already probably wasn't gonna touch the keys again which just left dealing with what she already blurted. It wasn't that big a deal but... kinda left them on uneven ground as far as stuff they didn't want to talk about. Fortunately, there was a fix for that. She folds her arms, taking a long breath in thought for a second before....]

... So, I had a stupid fucking crush on some guy in a band in my last school.

And I kinda wish I didn't act like such a lousy shit to my mom while she was still around.

There... now we both know some stupid bullshit about each other.

[...Rakka blinked, silently listening as her friend decided to do something very... very nice for her. She didn't even know what to say when it was over.]

...You didn't have to do that, but thanks.

[A pause, she thought for a moment.]

Was the band guy a guitarist or something? Because that'd be totally you.

Yeah, well, we're back on even ground now.

[... And she immediately regrets it when Rakka asks her question. Right now, she's just glad that she went with audio instead of replying with video. Now nobody will ever know how red her face is getting.]

Y... yeah. Lead singer too.

[Sorry Raye, but you kind of opened yourself up to that. Rakka lets out a light giggle at that.]

Sounds like a winner. My last crush had to be... [Her voice dipped out for a moment.] this one girl back home. Wanted to be an Olympic athlete. Never did work up the nerve to say anything.

[Yeah, she totally did, huh? Craaaap.]

Eh, it was just me being a dumb kid back then. No big deal.

[It might have been more the idea anyway. She hadn't really cared about guys before or since. Or dating in general for that matter.]

Oh yeah? [A girl, huh? Huh. Wouldn't have guessed that.] Guess you don't keep in touch with her at all anymore?

Yeah, I know how that feels.

[It's not like Raye would have ever asked about that sort of thing. At least she seemed alright about it. Rakka was now also relieved that they were on audio instead of video. She must have been red too.]

No, not like it really mattered. It was just a little crush. I haven't really kept in touch with... anyone back home since I was sent here.

[She wouldn't have, mostly because it doesn't make any difference to her. She already decided Rakka was pretty cool, so that wasn't gonna change anything.]

Right. Fresh start, huh? [She ponders that for a second.] Got your eye on anybody over here now? You're gonna have to do something about that "never been on a date" thing now that it's out there.

~~[She said as if she'd been on soooo many dates herself. Haha haha.]~~

Yup. [How fresh of a start it was depends on any given day it seems. Things kept resurfacing in Rakka's life that she couldn't control.]

[Like right now for instance. She couldn't say she didn't expect Raye to turn the tables on her like this. It was only fair. ~~But yeah, who are you to give her relationship advice?~~] Well no, not really. I was kind of busy with other things.

[Like growing wings and stuff.]

I guess... maybe I'll look for someone eventually.

[Yep. That's the way these conversations go after all. ~~Nobody. She's nobody to give relationship advice.~~]

Yeah, no rush, huh? I don't think you're gonna have any trouble with that.

[She snickers a bit, grinning a little sheepishly on her side.]

I bet you're not gonna go around scaring everyone off anyway.

You think so? I've never really thought much about being in a relationship or...

[She pauses as Raye begins to snicker. Truthfully, she was smiling a little, but as always there was doubt.]

Yeah? I guess people would want to date an angel.

Yeah, sure. Why not, right?

[She shrugs a little bit, even if Rakka can't see, grinning to herself.]

I mean, an angel'd probably have a lot more luck there than the loud girl who keeps getting into fights.

[Not that she put a whole lot of thought into that herself. No time for dating when you were so busy being caretaker to a little sibling.]

Oh....

[Well, that puts a dampen on things.]

Hey, you'll find someone. Heroes always get love interests and stuff.

[Just like in the animes.]

[Aw, crap, she wasn't trying to do that.]

It's cool. I'm not really into that whole dating thing anyway.

[Hey, wait what?]

Heh. Pretty sure if anybody around here is a love interest getting hero it isn't me. Save that junk for the magical girls.

[She doesn't watch anime. She is completely ignorant of shounen hero tropes. ~~Forget about how many she's probably pinging.~~]

[Resisting urge to say that she's technically a magical girl...]

Well, if you say so. It'd probably be easy for you though.

[She kind of exudes shouhen hero tropes.]

[Sixth Ranger. If she is any trope, she is the Sixth Ranger. Because that one is always the coolest.]

Pretty sure it doesn't work like that anyway. I don't think there's, like, an ass-kicking level where you get your love interest or anything.
