two 王 video ○ taka candroid

[When the video starts, the camera is facing down towards a particularly non-descript carpet. While the camera isn't moving around a lot, it is shaking quite a bit, and a small, high-pitched noise accompanies it. It almost sounds like a bird is in the room, though the noise is more mechanical than animal. The noise continues near the camera for another few seconds before the camera moves up and over to a patio door, not showing much of the apartment its in on the way there.

Oddly enough, when the camera reaches the patio door, there's just enough reflection to see that it's a small, red and silver mechanical bird, who begins tapping its beak against the door as if to ask to be let outside. It hovers in front of the door, continuing to make the same mechanical caw.

In the background, there's a voice that only a handful of people on the Network might recognize, speaking in Japanese.]

No, he's not like an animal. And I don't think he changes shape... but he can talk. A /lot/.
argents: (i hear the songs)

Sure. Hold on.

[ There's a click to video on his phone, first displaying a blur of a hazel-eyed teen before it swivels to settle on this. ]

His name is Haro. Or that's what he told me.

[ Whirring, the robot pipes up: Told you! Told you! ]
argents: on the wall. (now the memory's)

Me neither, before this. He mostly just repeats things, but he gets pretty intuitive when I least expect it.

Does your bird move around on its own?
argents: where i was born. (from the places)

[ Off-screen, Haro intones: Looking! Looking! ]

That's right, I saw a reflection. He's trying to get out?
argents: (and every whisper)

[ Believe him, he knows. ]

Maybe you should try following him.
argents: (chasing relentlessly)

[ There's a thoughtful noise, like a hum. Then an 'Oh!' ]

Can you pretend you're controlling him? Like with a fake remote, or something. Even your phone could probably work. There's some pretty crazy stuff in public, so I bet a lot of people wouldn't even look twice.

[ Like the naked Free Hug cowboys who set up on the street corners with body paint and acoustic guitars. ]
argents: (playing shadow games)

Haro? No, I think he really is just a toy, even if his recognition software is something else.

[ He pauses, somewhat heavily. ]

He's not the only robot I've remembered, though.
argents: (don't hide in the dark)

[personal profile] argents 2013-07-20 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Not specifically, but...

[ A shuffle on the line and there's the flip of papers, followed by him scrawling his network number on two sketches. One is a professional looking one, a rough technical drawing of a cockpit. The other... ]

I was its pilot.
argents: (hold still right before)

[ It's no more a stupid question than a stupid belief that it just might be. ]

I didn't know what to think at first, if I'm being honest. But it wasn't me who drew that, it was someone else who remembered it before I did. I don't know what the odds are...
argents: sleeps in your head. ('cause the devil)

[personal profile] argents 2013-07-24 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
...No. But I wish I did. Or could. Does anyone remember you, or is it just the similarities so far?
argents: (how this ends)

[personal profile] argents 2013-07-28 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I know there are good reasons to not reveal yourself, especially here. It just seems like all we can do is dance around each other this way, though.
argents: (time for a change)

[personal profile] argents 2013-07-30 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but even so. ...Good luck.
