3rd Chapter | Video/Action
[When Mikoshiba turns on the screen, he looks pleased with himself. His hair blows gently over his face in the wind, while he looks out to where the Bay used to be.] I've finally gotten sick of hearing everyone complain about the Bay missing, so I can explain what's going on. Just this once, so don't make me repeat myself!
This is what you would call a challenge event. You wouldn't collect just one ball in sports, so why would you bother to catch one star? [Because sports are normal. He's not comparing it to something to happen in a video game, not at all.]
Just like you'd get extra points at the end of a...sports...thing, if you manage to collect all the stars, or at least a certain amount of them, you'll probably get something cool. Like a sword or something. I was already here so I might as well try. [He shrugs, trying not to look nearly as excited as he actually is. This is his chance to get a legendary weapon! Which he will then keep in his room and never use.]
[That hole looks unsettling though. He stays away from it while he tries catching one of the lights. He has his sights set on one, but when it keeps evading him, he finally gets frustrated and puts his hands to his face to think. There's one nearby, so he runs after it, splashing through the water and trying to look as cool about it as he can. He finally manages to catch one, letting out a victorious shriek. But his excitement is short-lived when this memory (up to 2:26) plays. He falls down and seems to stare at nothing in particular, overcome with an elated feeling once it's over. Slowly, the euphoria fades, returning him to the present. He tilts his head down to look at his phone, otherwise still and mortified. It wasn't a bad memory, but it had been so real, enough to make him lose his composure in public. Realizing this, his eyes wide, and his face pales before brushing brightly. He scrambles to turn off his phone, his words equally rushed and panicked.]
Never...nevermind! Just stay away, it's a waste of time to try it!

Yeah, we're from the same world. I think he works too much but he's okay.
Ah? That's a strange nickname, Spirit-san...
[Video] Took me a few tags to realize that they are both redheads.
Not really a nickname, it's a title.
[He frowns, considering Mikoshiba's response.]
Mm...I should have been keeping more of an eye on him. I'm glad he's got a friend here, now.
[Video] Yeah. XD So many redheads
Why is it your title? Oh! And I'm Mikoto Mikoshiba.
[His face grows sober in concern.]
I'm glad too. Has MayuMa--Mayu ever been in danger before? [Besides what he's told him already. Now he's more worried than before.]
[Video] They need to be friends. And also I'm sooorryy in advance, Miksohiba..
I'm a weapon. [A pause.] ...I do mean it literally. "Deathyscythe" is a title given to weapons who, with their meister, have collected ninety-nine corrupted souls and one witch's soul. I'm called Deathscythe more often than the others because my weapon form is a scythe--I'm essentially the Deathscythe of Lord Death.
[Don't regret it, Mikoshiba! At least Spirit's very nice!]
Not that I've seen. I mean, no more than most. He's not throwing himself into dangerous situations, anyway.
[Video] They do! I think they'd get along. Nooo it's okay he's heard worse
You're a Deathscythe? Do you need souls to live?!
[He's just imagining the worse scenarios right now. At least Spirit isn't threatening him though.]
He likes to conserve his energy. It would be going out of the way to get into trouble... He should rely more on me and Nozaki because we're older!
Re: [Video]
[Despite the generally sarcastic words, he actually sounds placating, even gentle. Like someone who has had this conversation many times over.] Sorry. I forget that not everywhere is like Death City, with people tolerant and not alarmed by weapons.
[The man waits a beat and then:] Like I said... I'm glad be has friends here now. I've got my hands full, and couldn't always check up on him like I should.
[Video]
How...are you human or a weapon? It doesn't make sense.
[And now he's just embarrassed. He flails, but that just serves to show him blushing, his voice upset and shoulders tense.] Sh-shut up, I'm not alarmed! So what, you're a weapon. Do you think that would scare someone as brave as me? Don't be such an idiot! I challenged a final boss just a little while ago, I could take you on!
[He seems to realize what he said too late. What if he just went and made Spirit mad? He hides again, though he doesn't think it will do any good. He sounds more pathetic than usual.] It's okay. We can all protect Mayu.
Re: [Video]
The best course of action is to completely ignore that entire comment.]
I'm a human that can turn into a weapon. It's a genetic trait, recessive and runs in families.
It's really not as exciting as it sounds.
[Video]
I want to see.
