[It's been bothering Kotetsu for awhile--the fear and horror and distress of the others on the network since the mine incident. The confusion and the frustration in others not sure who or what they're turning into. Kotetsu thinks he's lucky, in that regard. He's yet to have many memories of this "former life", or alternate self, or whatever it is. There's been little that's really turned his life upside down since first finding out about Paul Ben and the conspiracy the police are involved in.

Kotetsu is still frightened himself, still unsure of what it all means or why them or what to do, but he feels he needs to do something.

When the video comes on, it's late in the evening, and Kotetsu is wearing a simple sleeveless white shirt rather than his usual button-down shirt + vest combo or his police uniform. If you look carefully, you can just catch a glimpse of the stitches in his side. He looks serious, too, no trace of his usual goofy grin or animated flailing.

It takes him a little bit to get going, though--a couple false starts, a bit of fumbling over words, but he pushes on despite it. He's never been the most eloquent, but what's been on his mind is important enough to make the effort.]


... I know things've been--rough, lately. What with the mine and all the...stuff we've been dealing with. The "other us" stuff.

[He sighs, rubbing at his neck tiredly.]

Listen, I--whatever happens, whatever...changes or memories or whatever we get, we're still in this together. We're still us, and maybe we are just some random people with nothing really in common who got dragged into this mess for no reason, but. This is--it's our lives, our home, as crappy as it can be sometimes, and like hell we're gonna let a bunch of alien bastards take it from us, right?

[There's a bit of a pause, and then a couple numbers flash across the screen. The first is his network number.]

The second one's my personal cell. If anyone needs me for anything and I'm not around on the network...[A tiny, self-deprecating laugh] I'm not good for much besides putting cuffs on crooks and shooting shit, but I'll do what I can. Even if you just need someone to talk to, or...someone to drive you to someone you need to talk to.

Don't worry about if I'm busy or sleeping or whatever. Just...know you're not alone, I guess.

[After taking out those thugs weeks ago, the search really heated up on Jack -- he hasn't made his presence known even on the network for weeks. But he does finally make a brief comment, using Kotetsu's network number to contact him directly.]

You been in to work lately?

I'm glad you're okay. lol, I saw you were earlier, but we were kind of busy. It's good of you to offer.

You know you can ask the same of me, right? Sans driving, cuffs, and shooting. I'm not always as silly as I come off.

I'm still stunned as to just how much everyone here cares.

Wanting to help people is plenty good enough. "Whether it be good or bad..." — someone I used to know said that to me. Someone I don't really remember right now, but I wish I could.

He told me to be brave enough to fight off despair. But truthfully, I don't think I could do that alone.

I don't think anybody can. Me, or you.

[It's probably after a great deal of the other conversations, probably damn near midnight, that another stray message is left for Kotetsu.]

Hey, for a cop, you're not bad.

I'm definitely not going to just lie down and take this. [He sounds a little tired, yeah, but there's nothing but sincerity in the words.]

That's pretty decent of you. Then again, it seems a lot of people caught up in all this crazy shit's oddly decent.

I'm Ciel by the way.

...

I'm also kinda new with all this crap; been piecing stuff together and trying to figure out what the deal with all of this is. So what's this "other us" stuff you brought up? Also all that about memories or changes.

Doesn't getting attached to everyone here run the risk of getting hurt though?

I cut school and stole my dad's car.

....[ oh wait he should probably elaborate. ] To help out with all that mine bullshit. I tried explaining that to my dad, but apparently the concept of internet friends and danger is completely beyond him.
argents: (what do you think)

I think the doubts I had then were totally different from the ones I have now, but... even so, I can't forget those words. Yours could be like that too.

...Nice. Think you'll be able to stay like that?

My first thing, in April, was just wanting to exercise more. Like, I feel kind of jittery if I don't go run or whatever every day or so. I'm actually in shape now. lol, I used to be so lazy about this stuff.
