Mission 15: [Video] Backdated to late last night.

[argentimperator]

[Completely failed filter to Jr./Albedo because it's the middle of the night and he was trying to sleep.]

I have had enough, you two. [Sleepy and annoyed Sephiroth is sleepy and annoyed. Also shirtless and in bed, tangled up in his sheets.]

I realize your intentions are good but your methods leave much to be desired. This has been going on for weeks. Shut up and let me sleep in peace or I swear I will find a way to make you regret it.



(Side note: Completely failed to post about slowatus anywhere but Plurk. I have computer usage restrictions now, too, much like sister only a little more lenient. So.... that's why I've been even slower than usual lately. Who would have thought it was possible? :\ )

[Blink.]

Jr. and Albedo are telepathic. [Faint, annoyed huff.] They are trying to push me to learn to block out voices in my head by being voices in my head. Constantly. 'Sephiroth. Sephiroth. Sephiroth.'

[ff_red_turk]

... How is that supposed to help any?

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Ask them. I think it might be how they had to learn it. [Sephiroth rakes a hand through his hair and drops back into a fully prone position. He really is tired; it hasn't even registered yet that Vincent responding means the filter didn't go through right.]

[ff_red_turk]

It might be more efficient if they explained how to do it.

[And Vincent didn't notice the filter, so he won't mention it.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Efficiency is not their greatest aptitude.

[ff_red_turk]

... Kids.

Just kick them out. They'll stop doing it after spending a few nights outside.

[They're actually older than Sephiroth is, but he doesn't bring that up. They act like kids.]

They don't live with me. They stay with Ukitake.

[ff_red_turk]

I see.

[A pause.]

The trick is not to ignore it. It's to let it become part of the background noise.

Who the hell are you calling background noise.

... You. Shut up.

[Why yes, your dad is having a conversation with the creepy crawly inside of him.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Honestly, Sephiroth is kind of used to it. He's not even bothered. So he just quietly mulls over Vincent's advice. Background noise?]

I will attempt it. Your assistance is appreciated, Vincent.

[Formal as ever but sincere.]

[ff_red_turk]

[A nod to acknowledge the thanks.]

I can't believe you have the cheek to call me background noise.
