[when the feed flickers on, the hand moves away from the screen to reveal something like a haphazard mess. the first thing you notice is a colouring book, child-like in quality. it's flipped to a page of the picture of an Ekans swallowing a Rattata whole -- the snake coloured purple painstakingly with a pencil crayon just a little off-screen.

it's not the only pencil crayon there. rather, if you count and compare all the colours, there are veritably enough pencil crayons scattered in the frame alone for two full boxes worth of them. there's the sound of paper crinkling off-screen, before a hand sets down a paper crane on-screen.]

Mm, eighty-one, I guess.

[a chuckle. Fuji picks up the feed. a flash of brown hair here, dizzying camera motions, and suddenly, the feed settles amongst a whole pile of paper cranes, crowding on-screen, haphazard in their placements. even as he does so, his fingers are already picking at the colouring book again.

he tears out the page with the Ekans and the Rattata, nimble fingers working away already at the first folds.]

I think it's fun, what you're liable to make out of paper. [hum] Wasn't origami originally designed for the sake of carrying love letters? Designed so that the receiver would know if someone had intercepted the message from the way the folds were refolded. -- would you like a love letter in a paper crane?

[a thoughtful pause, here.] Isn't it funny that people believe it's bad luck, to unfold a crane? If it's a love letter for you, you'd have to unfold it anyway.

Their luck for you, I suppose.

[and now, he looks down, rueful. a twist of his fingers, and he pulls out the crane's wings, balancing delicately. a smile, a smile, so secretive that if the state of being cryptic was a rope, Fuji would've hung himself on it long ago.]

I think I'll play the piano with my toes.

[it's then the end-tail of an electric-mouse plops on-screen, the chuuuu that follows as unamused as it ever was. Berlin the Raichu plops himself unceremoniously into Fuji's lap, shaking his head a little. the boy blinks once, twice, chuckles, and reaches over to the feed--

cut.]

You sure bring up the weirdest things, Fuji. [ The things he does to have his share of apples. ]

( video )

[reveiller]

[he has good taste, man]

Was it the cranes? Or the love letters?

( video )

[vigilantive.livejournal.com]

That, that, and the playing the piano with your toes part.

[... Blink.] Did you just say what I think you just said?

[reveiller]

Mm, about the love letters? I meant every word, you know.

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Not that--- the piano. How do you even begin to play like that?

action.

[How well-oiled are your door's hinges, Fuji? Because if they're not in perfect condition, you might hear a slight creak as someone nudges open the door--and a tiny, inquisitive nose peeks around to see what's going on in this room.]

action.

[reveiller]

[ah, he looks up at the creaking at the same time Berlin makes a huffy sound and plops out of his lap, immediately defense.

when he recognizes the delicate notes poking in, he grins.]

I think we have a visitor. Right, Berlin?

[an affirming huff from that Raichu.]

action.

[And after a few seconds, she peeeeeeeks a little more. This is ridiculous amounts of bravery right here, coming from the World's Shyest Vulpix™.

But by Federer, she will be brave. Just this once. If it means sneaking a peek at a certain Raichu.]

[uuing]

Uu-! Are you folding things out of paper again?

[ Maria smiles brightly at the screen. She remembers this! ]

[ video ]

[reveiller]

[and he holds a crane up into the light!]

What do you think this might be?

[video]

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

I only know how to fold cranes and stars...maybe I should learn more. [ And even Himawari had to teach him that second one. A pause. ]

Hey, Fuji. What would you wish for, if you folded a thousand?

[video]

[reveiller]

[he pauses, here, tilting his head.]

Are you looking for a serious answer? You know, I might not give one.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

... Are you gonna fold a thousand of them?

( video )

[reveiller]

Think I'll make it?

[...why is he still trying to make sense of your segues. ...Well, in any case.]

Huh, didn't know that.

[also he's riding on an Absol at the moment so you might hear that in the background.]

[Video]

[reveiller]

[...! hm.]

Every day's a learning experience.

Where are you off to?

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

I didn't know Ekans ate Rattata.

Are they all made out of pictures from a coloring book?

[video]

[reveiller]

I like picturing books. Wouldn't a crane be interesting if it had a picture of an Ekans eating a Rattata on it?

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

You know, that actually made sense up until the end.

[video]

[reveiller]

Well, I'm terribly sorry for making sense.

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

That's so romantic! Whoever started origami must've really loved someone...and there's no way that could be bad luck.

[ video ]

[reveiller]

Maybe. Can you fold anything?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

If you fall off the piano bench, that's all on you.

[video]

[reveiller]

And would you like a love letter in a crane?
