010 [Video]

[substrictus]

[This time the video clicks on and at first it's focused on the ceiling before it turns onto a rather nice sight. It shows a rather handsome twenty-five year old blonde man with lovely green eyes, his features older and more refined, blonde hair wet and a towel around his neck so it's easy to tell where he just was. His hair looks a fair bit longer than before and from what the camera shows, his chest and torso is a fair bit more defined with some muscles that hadn't been there before]

I rather like this event. It's awesome!

I mean... I look older and yet i'm not. I have always wanted to know what it would be like for me to match that time I spent in the Abyss.

[A pause and he reaches up to brush some locks aside from in front of his eyes before he clears his throat, looking rather serious]

...My name is Oz Bezarius. Head of the Bezarius family. I cannot accept such actions unless there are some appropriate consequences.

[Then the smile is back and he's snickering. So amused by how much more mature and not-boyish his voice sounds as he speaks and just how believable his last statement sounded] Whoah. That sounds SO cool when I say it now.

I don't need friends. Other people don't want me around and I don't need them, I'm fine on my own!

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

You don't know that. I bet if you asked, people would want you around. Being on your own... it isn't fun and you should let people care for you as then you can be really happy..

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

Adults just want to hurt you. M'not falling for it. [Is pretty much covered in bruises from all the clowns that beat him up :(]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Not all adults. Some... are bad. They may.. may call you filthy and say they don't need you, but others are different.

Others are good and become close friends and treat you well. I know a lot of good adults. One of my closest friends, my servant, is one of them. I trust my life to him because I know he won't ever hurt me.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

...Then you're lucky. But I still don't need 'em, I'm gonna be really strong so I can survive on my own, you'll see I don't need anyone.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

How can you be strong if you just rely on yourself? If you have friends to help you, then when you're in a bad spot, they can help you..

Even if you're on your own, people can still have friends..

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

Shut up! Nobody wants to be my friend, nobody wants me, all people do is hurt you! [Tearing up slightly. Just a little.] Nobody's gonna help me, so I'll help myself! An' I don't need anyone else to do it.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

It's not good to be so stubborn. I know for a fact that if I could, I'd help you.

Just listen to me. Not everyone's out there to get you. You'll learn it probably the more you grow up but it is true.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

...Why would you help me. Nobody ever bothers with some kid off the street unless they want something' from 'em.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

I would help you merely because I want to and that I wouldn't want you to have to keep thinking that all people are bad. They're not, if you give the right ones a chance.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

...You're weird. [This time it's not said in an insulting way, he sounds surprised and looks mildly hopeful.]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[That earns a soft laugh as he notices the different tone in the other's voice and the look on the other's face]

I may be, but it's not a bad thing if it helps others.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

[You are one effective Jesus]

I guess it's not.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Exactly. [A small pause]

So.. then won't you tell me your name, mm?

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

Don't got one.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Really? Then why don't we come up with one~?

Nobody deserves to be nameless.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

There's nobody to call my name, so I never needed one. People just said 'hey you' when they wanted something... I dunno what I would call myself.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Hmm... pick a letter you like and we'll start from there.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

...'A'.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Hmm... lessee... Aaron? no... Abel?

[Looks thoughtful for a long moment]

...Allen?

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

...Allen is fine.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Great!

Allen suits you, actually. So next time someone tries to call you 'hey, kid', tell them your name's Allen.
