⌈ FIRST NIGHT ⌋ ♘ ⌊ VIDEO ⌉

[leashed_hunter]

[His arrival a few days ago had been less than unsightly considering one minute he was holding a bloody and injured Kaito and the next he was transported to a place like this. He'd searched for hours for his injured teammate and it wasn't until dawn had arrived that he slowly came to terms with his new circumstances. He sensed them - Purebloods. It wasn't until he got a better grasp of this place that Zero decided to use the small communication device.

The recording turned on showing a stiff looking hunter whose lips thinned into a grim line.]

The rules of the Association still apply.

[And with that simple sentence, the Hunter cemented his stance.]

[With those she knew coming more often, Kimiko missed Moriko, but she was okay. She had her Mama and Daddy. And then Uncle Takuma came. As much as she was worried for her sister, she had other people around that she cared for.

Seeing Zero's face pop up on the communicator, her stopped her drawing. Face lighting up, she couldn't help but feel happy. Her Mama was here and she got to meet her Daddy finally, but her Papa was here now too.]

Video; 2/2

[cutestpureblood]

[It was Papa! He seemed younger like Mama was, but it was still him. She flipped on her own communicator, framing part of her face before fixing the angle.]

Papa! I'll come and get you, Papa!

[Although she'll probably get lost... woops.]

[leashed_hunter]

[He expected a range of different responses from that short message but what he didn't expect was a little girl calling him---]

....

[He raised a brow as he stared down at the screen taking in the small features. It was surprising to say the least, and instantly figured she had confused him with someone else. Considering her age, Zero's usual blunt words were tempered just a bit.]

Hey. Little girl. You have the wrong person.

[Yuuki had been in the middle of checking in and out books, so had spent most of her time sitting at the desk stamping books going out and making sure the computer knows that there are some coming back and making notes of which haven't come back just yet.

While in between her work she had been paying attention to the device but the thing she had never expected was to see Zero of all people here as well, which had started to make her wonder if he was alright. Last she could recall she had made a choice and was suppose to talk to 'her' about it, but never got there. She had been worried since that he might not have been okay, but here he is....looking about as much of himself as usual.]

Ze-Zero. It's good to see you're alright. [She inwardly was sighing with relief.]

[leashed_hunter]

[He'd known of her presence in this strange place but for some reason he could not sense her. Still, Zero had made no move to seek her or her fiancee out while his circumstances remained a mystery to him.

He stared at the Pureblood Princess with even eyes.]

I haven't forgotten my duty towards your family.

[Like the Association rules, Zero would keep to his last assignment to the Kuran family. Until Kaname replaced the Ancestor's heart in their furnace, Zero would protect his and his own. It was his duty, and even here Zero had nothing but duty left to him.]

[kindprincess]

[That at least answered another question she had in mind, something she had guessed would have been a high possibility all things considering. She was getting use to it by now.]

I guess you must remember me as a Kuran, right?

[That's what it sounded like to her, so she was just checking while at the same time moving a book from her left, opening it and scanning in before pushing it towards the right.]

[taintedwhite]

[Have a young albino girl with big red eyes and long white hair staring at you through the screen.]

Is that a game? Shiro wants to play too!

...But Shiro doesn't know the rules.

[Video]

[leashed_hunter]

[An even stare. He didn't know the girl, nor could he tell if she was vampire or not from this distance.]

It isn't a game.

[A blunt statement and one made harsher with the even tone that held no hint of warmth in its depths.]

[Video]

[taintedwhite]

It's not?

[Shiro looks thoughtful, and slightly disappointed.]

What's the Association, then? Should Shiro still know the rules?

[primumsanguis]

[He looked at the feed with lifeless eyes. He had known Zero had arrived for a long while now, and he was sure that Zero could sense the lone bat which was following his actions from afar.

He had the same sentiments of course, for the safety of his beloved.]

You have no association here to support you. I would advice caution.

[leashed_hunter]

[Even if he was assigned to protect him, Zero had little tolerance with being followed. He didn't like it when Kaito did it, he certainly didn't find it any less annoying when it was a Pureblood.

He shot that bat.]

Your concern is unnecessary.

( video )

[ex_nourished201]

Kiryuu-san.

Welcome.

( video )

[leashed_hunter]

[Another vampire. He'd sensed the presence of a Noble, but had no idea it was this one. He didn't like the cheerful vampire.]

Ichijou-senpai.

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

...priorities.

[She's not even trying to offend him. Just. Seriously. Priorities]

[Video]

[leashed_hunter]

[She says that as if Zero has a life outside his Hunter duties!]

Better to get them out now than hear excuses later.

VIDEO; BECAUSE MESSES ARE BEAUTIFUL.

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Don't mind the huge long winded stare you're getting on the other end of the device. Nevermind that the person staring at you was not someone you are familiar with, but there was a sense of recognition from the person, but the person did not say anything beyond that. Association. That term she heard a long time ago. Well this was going to be a party.

After a long moment, the girl decided to speak. ]

You can't force people to obey any rules you want to establish, since you aren't in your world anymore--wherever that may be.

VIDEO; Damn you Ishtar!!! There is nothing beautiful about this!!! >_<

[leashed_hunter]

[A pointed look.]

What would you know about it.

[Audio]

[frostheartedrose]

Only if you allow them to, and only on yourself.

[Strange kid, pretty eyes... Yeah, she's actually putting a bit of effort into masking her exact location.]

[Audio]

[leashed_hunter]

They still apply. [Blunt.]

[Audio]

[beautifulmidboss]

Well now, that sounds a little ominous.

Just what 'Association' might this be?

[Audio]

[leashed_hunter]

[If he didn't know the organization then it was obvious their rules did not apply to him. In that case, he probably wasn't someone from his world.]

One from my world. [An answer of sorts.]

[Video, Private] Have the other one, too

[redsnowangel]

No offence, but I doubt anyone here's going to listen to your little 'rules'.

[White hair, violet eyes, weird neck tattoo...huh. This guy looked just like Kimiko's description of her 'Papa'.

His guess had been proved right when he overheard the conversation he and Kimiko had, and that made his blood boil. Even though he'd been warned about the differences in timelines some people experienced, hearing him reject his own kid like that was painful.]

Also? Kinda a jerk move upsetting a sweet little girl like that.

[Video, Private] Oh dear god. XD

[leashed_hunter]

[A quick look.]

What do you know about it?

[A demand. The more she spoke the more confused he became. Why was she calling him that? Kuran had already confirmed she was his daughter so why was she calling him by that familiar name??]

[Video]

[beareroflight]

What Association? Dental? Medical?

You have to be more specific.

[Video]

[leashed_hunter]

[He's gone through enough of these replies to sort out the informed and misinformed. He's tired of the same responses.]

It doesn't concern you.
