[Toushirou sounds rather displeased. What a shocker. What a rare, rare occurrence.]

Bakura, I know this was you. "The Adventures of Bugman and the Green Ninja"? What the hell are you even thinking? Putting something that obvious out there when people have been dragged off the streets for laughing too much?

[Because that's totally where his priorities are right now. Really.]

[[OOC: He's referencing this by the way. Because it needed to happen.]]

[Hajime might have ignored this were it not for the word "Bugman." As far as he knew, he was the only one.]

...what did he do?

He created a stupid web cartoon out of us.

Where is it?

[Ditching the interrogation below - specifics sought.

And at the bottom of it it's in much more plumb curiosity than productivity or suspicion.]

[There is a moment of stunned silence that's finally broken by an irritated sigh.]

You have a link?

[Give him a second to grab the link from his phone. Because once he'd seen a bit of it, he'd had to go see the rest of the horror himself. And there we are.]

Here. [Just . . . anyone who knows anything about them could put two and two together from this, right? It's a dumb idea, right?]

[Toushirou might hear the noise of the show as Hajime clicks that link and watches. At the point of Bugman's arrival, there's a muttered curse in that monster language Hajime picked up, along with the sound of a facepalm.]

...really.

Can't imagine what you might be talking about, Snapdragon~

[That tilde alone is admission to the something that obvious he's being accused of.]

What is he talking about, Bakura...?

[Compressed low, definite tense current of anxiety with a hint of dare-I-ask.]

Nothing as serious as he's making it sound! Cartoon series about a group of flowers that are also ninja battling evil gardeners and their toxic pesticides. Totally an environmentalist gimmick!

He said it's obvious --

[Anthony's not trying to be suspicious exactly, but it certainly sounds as if this may be something it is perfectly appropriate to be very curious about!]

It's always obvious when it's something you know, but when it's something you don't, it isn't. If I drew my cousin Hanako as a flower, I'd know it was her because I'd give it something to look like her, but you'd have no idea who it was because you don't know her and wouldn't know anything about those god awful sweaters she loves.

I'm -- I'm sorry, I'm only curious!

[Whether this is an indirect telling-off or whether Bakura's just playing around this is all he can immediately say.]

[[Have a concerned and confused look from Bakura here now.]]

...I'm not mad or anything... Just explaining... You all right?

[Why the switch to private connection - ?

And - from that look, Bakura really was just being honest.

Tight nod, brows arched - ] I'm fine -- ! [...And a voice very deliberately elevated and thin, out of embarrassment.] -- Sorry.

[He's not going to admit he's fretting overmuch about anything else until he can be sure he is or isn't, all the same.]

[[Because Anthony seemed upset. That and video.]]

You just seem kinda... on edge.

You want a link to the video so you can see how not obvious it is? You can guess which one's which pretty easily if you know everybody, but if you don't it's just characters.

[Abnormally on edge?

Either way - mouth-twitch and blink.] I would, uh -- like to be able to see for myself. [Neither dark nor accusatory. In fact his voice is... flattening a bit, for better or for worse.]

Just uhm - be cautious... [Overall and for Bakura's own sake, too - he's not writing off that he offered to summon Diabound in public any time soon.]

Don't worry, I'm being perfectly careful!

[[And have a link to DreamEater's youtube account. The Timid Necromancer doesn't have a big part in the episodes that are up, partly because of his uber shyness, but it's likely that the vague resemblance can be seen.]]

Erm. [Expression blanks - bows a nod.] - Thank you - ... [- And goes off network for scrutinizing.

The question of "is this suspicious" slips loose from the front of his mind, and what goes sliding into its place soon enough is "who is who" - and... between stammering and factor of necromancy makes connection on the black one, and were he not disconnected it would be there for all to see whether or not zombies blush.

Definitely on the verge of tight, awkward laughter and wondering how badly it's exaggerated that he comes off as quite that shy!]

[[about a half hour later, to give him time for watching]]

So? What'd you think?

Do I really seem that shy? [He's feeling about as amusedly-flustered in truth as he is embarrassed!]

If you were as shy as BlackRose I don't think you'd have ever left your house. It's a cartoon, so everything's amped up to a gimmick!

[He doesn't leave the house generally speaking nowadays but very well.]

If you say so. [Pause - and then a right-way-up, nondescript ":)" drawn in, for clarity of tone's sake. There's still the fact that Bakura had basis to pick mousiness as a gimmick, but, well, he really can't fault him for that, probably!] Good work.

[He really did get completely sidetracked, in spite of himself, to "what represents what", off from "what represents what and is it suspicious".]

Thanks!

So how many could you guess at? Since it's easy to pick out the one based on you, right?

[Pauses fidgeting as he decides whether or not to settle all these guesses as indeed his best ones.] Hajime, Toshiro, Mr. Lyall, and Dr. Strider are also easy ones... I may have recognized Kenji, Julien, Dr. Solus, and Ms. Starsky also. Am I correct?

Yep! Just enough so we can tell who everyone is, but no one else can.

[Unseen twitch.]

Don't call me that. And imagination doesn't seem to be a problem for you.

Never has been~

Which leads me back to the question of what the hell you were thinking.

That you should write what you know~

Kinda surprised you found it, I didn't think you were the type to watch cartoons on YouTube.

I didn't. My dumbass classmates found it and showed it to me.

"Hey Toshirou! This plant is a stick in the mud, just like you!" was it?

Edited 2013-09-13 03:54 (UTC)

[Something along those lines, yes. But he'd like to avoid acknowledging this. So he's not answering that.]

And you don't think it's possible that this could be traced back to you by what we're up against? [Yep, let's just make it like this is a security concern and not him being annoyed that his classmates are ragging on him more now.]

Considering the episodes are basically written by mashing the random button on TV tropes 5 times and the characters are all pretty much stereotypes with a bit of flavor added to them, and the account posts from a proxy server that says I'm from Japan?

Not really worried about that.

This was still a dumb idea.

You're only saying that because you got teased about being a stick in the mud.

[Maybe.]

Oh, please. Like that's even new.

Can't imagine any other reason that you'd think a cartoon about ninja flowers would put any real person in danger. Just brings your classmates one step closer to being put on ice, eh?

[Shhh, stop poking holes in this.] Still has some risk. If anyone's going to find us, I'd rather it be because of something worthwhile we did rather than a stupid internet cartoon.

[Eyerolling. He's doing that a lot this post, it seems.] Right. Because I'd absolutely do that.

And Snapdragon would, if he had ice powers, which he doesn't. Instead he just threatens people with his sword. Which you also don't do. He's also a *flower* which you aren't.

Seriously. The only people who can recognize anyone in this are people who know us. Every character is a caricature and there isn't anything resembling reality to it. You'd have to be a conspiracy theory nut to assume that somehow this group of flowers trying to stop the poisoning of their environment by an evil corporation has anything to do with us.

Unless you thought Captain Planet was real people too.

I meant the enemy, not random people, okay? [Why is this difficult?]

You flatter my ego to think that alien invaders trying to destroy us are going to take the time to watch my youtube series and somehow magically decode who anyone is by the few real life hints.

Seriously, Snapdragon is a super exaggerated version of one of your character traits. He could be about a million different jerkoffs.

Hey you're just jealous that Nightshade is cooler than Snapdragon, obvs.

[Oh man, that gets an eyeroll.] Right, that's clearly my problem here.

Damn right.
