video; Japanese all over

[leaderkun]

 [Oh look it's Yu! The camera is close in on his face, and after a moment backs up. He's in a hallway, and Elecmon is probably holding the DT.]

Is it running?

I-i think so?

Okay, good I was wanting to ask if anyone has figured out this sudden language barri-!?

[He's cut off by yelling, also in Japanese, and suddenly Terriermon comes running by, dragging a stuffed dufflebag behind her. The yelling person comes into view shortly after: Neku, bright red and shrieking at his partner.]

DROP IT!

Aw come on Neku! I wanna see all your pretty clothes from home!

[Yu, slightly surprised by the interruption, reaches out and takes the bag away]

Is this your's, Sakuraba-kun?

[Neku turns even redder at being caught, and before he can respond Terriermon hops up and manages to drag something out of the open bag: a familiar black cap.]

Oh I like this one, come'er Elecmon!

Wh-what? I don't think

[The camera shifts, breaking away from Neku looking like he wants to strange Yu and instead to Elecmon and Terriermon, as the girl bunny puts the cap on the boy bunny's head, flattening down his ears.]

It's really cool looking on you!

Maybe we should stop them...?

[Behind them Yu and Neku are... 'talking'. Or more specifically Yu is discovering a cute lolita dress in the bag and looking right charmed by it... while Neku's head looks about to spin right off. He makes a lunge- only to be palm-stopped in the forehead by the much taller boy.]

I don't know... It's really cute. And obviously sized for you. You shouldn't be ashamed...

[Neku, already in a foul mood the last few days, doesn't even make real WORDS, just rage noises. Yu, noticing his partner is now be-hatted, stops blocking him, making Neku stumble into the wall]

Raidou, that's not yours.

[He plucks the hat off, putting it away along with the dress and handing the bag back to Terriermon]

Wow, thanks!

[And she's gone again, Neku bellowing after her]

...what was I posting again?

[Cam's taken aback by Neku's yelling, even if he can't understand what he's saying. He wants to tell Terri to wait, to stop, but-- well, looks like it's too late for that. His shocked expression should say all he needs to, but Cam looks around for Lucette to be a translator, and in the meantime, he uses some of the little Japanese he knows, broken, accented, and incredibly stiff.]

Stop. She's sad. Neku. Are you okay?

[scratchitti]

[For a moment Neku seems amused. Meanly so]

Your Japanese sucks.

[But the amusement twists to anger]

And stop asking if I'm 'okay', damn it! Everyone is pestering me about it!

[headup_stickontheice]

[So much of it flies right over his head. But he catches tone and jerks back. This doesn't seem like the Neku he's made friends with.

...and any other day, he might feel the need to apologize, but not now.] Stop. [It's more firm.] Stop, mean. [This is getting him nowhere, so he switches back to English.]

You're being a jerk. I was just trying to ask, I would've let it drop if you didn't snap.

[scratchitti]

[Neku actually manages to look chastised, at least a little. He shifts from mad to sullen, tucking his knees against his chin and tucking most of his lower face into his collar. Between Cam's butchered Japanese and his own shitty understanding of English he gets the idea]

...sorry.

[headup_stickontheice]

[That's...a little better. Cam still frowns, his own anger subsiding slightly. Instead, he slowly and forcefully asks:] What's going on?

[scratchitti]

....bad feeling.

['bad mood' was his intent, but he just couldn't think of the righ tword.]

[headup_stickontheice]

Talk-- ...No. Stupid. [He points to himself there. Duh, of course Neku can't talk about it right now.]

[Video]

[scratchitti]

Ugh stop making me feel bad.

Later.

[headup_stickontheice]

[Though he can't understand the first part, he can hear the venom and...he just frowns.]

Bye.
