1st Shadow [accidental video]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Last night had been a great night for a campfire, huh? The stars had been brighter than they had been all month, and the full moon had been completely visible, so big it almost dominated the whole sky.

Unfortunately, a regular at the campfire (you've probably heard him singing along obnoxiously to any of the songs, though he doesn't know most of the words) never showed up to witness that beautiful night. He was locked in one of the bathroom stalls. In fact, he stays there all night, and he still hasn't returned to his own cabin by morning. Not to worry, though, he's leaving everyone a message to let everyone know he's alright.

...Unfortunately, he isn't going to seem very convincing.

He had meant to send a voice message to the other campers, but perhaps Iris was feeling a bit mixed up today, or perhaps his wonderful smother mother wasn't going to let her gift to him go unnoticed. Either way, he's completely visible as he sits in the bathroom stall, and there's clearly something behind him, something that makes a slight rustling noise as he fidgets.]

Hey everyone. It's Ryoji Mochizuki. Could someone let Chiron or Mr. D know that I'm not going to be at any training or classes today? I... I'm not feeling too good.

[Funny, he doesn't look any more pale than he normally does... Still oblivious, Ryoji stretches out slightly, and the video shows a glimpse of a pair of shadowy wings before cutting off.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Yeah, straight there.

[As far as he knows, that hasn't changed.

...Though maybe if his stomach is growling, they should stop and get some food.]

[pheromonecoffee]

[He notices that, but he won't change the course unless Ryoji wants to.]

I'll get you something from the camp store.

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah, t-that's okay. You shouldn't have to get me anything.

[pheromonecoffee]

I don't have to. [He wants to. He went hungry his first day here and who knows how many meals each of them have left.]

[notsogrimreaper]

So then if you don't have to, you can just forget about it, right?

[Minato, why would you let yourself starve? You know he would have snuck you some food, even if he got in trouble for it.]

[pheromonecoffee]

I want to.

[C'mon, Ryoji. You're hungry. He'll drop you off at the Cabin and go grab something.]

[notsogrimreaper]

...Only if it's not too much trouble.

[Geez, Minato, you're embarrassing him. He doesn't need to be taken care of.]

[pheromonecoffee]

[You locked yourself in the bathroom. But he wouldn't offer if he felt it was trouble. This is Minato, remember?]

Come on.
