( r6 ) talking-head: minami.

[showhost]

Minami is invited to take a seat right in front of the cameras, while the overseer smiles at them brightly and waves.

And asks them questions, of course.

They don't have to answer truthfully, but they should be aware that every single last thing they're saying might very well end up in the final cut.

Have fun!

[terrifying, mostly]

Well, it has certainly reminded me that you're a demon. So... I suppose both?

[bc he always thinks Minami's cute.]

[inparfait]

You didn't forget did you? I'll always be a demon!

[ :') ]

[aspirings]

[see, there's a cuter expression again... who could blame him, really?]

It's not that I forget, it's just... you don't usually think of demons as being cute, right? [at least, back home he hasn't.] So I suppose I'm still getting used to that idea.

[inparfait]

Hehe, okay. [ he got called cute, all is forgiven! ] Being a demon is just as important to me as being an actor is to you!

[ this will be relevant later but not now. right now it's just cute(?). ]

[aspirings]

[oh so it's like his whoooole schtick. That makes sense. Putting it like that means now Tsukasa understands perfectly.]

Hmmm... does that mean your aspirations also have something to do with being a demon?

[inparfait]

Mmhmm! Incubi are usually considered minor demons since we usually only exist in nightmares and dreams. But I'm here now with you, hehe.

[ so he's not minor! and he's not weak! take that seiya!!! ]

[aspirings]

[He's not!! Look at him go!]

So you are achieving your dream with each moment that you spend like this, experiencing things!

That's wonderful!

[big sap... about dreams...]

[inparfait]

I am! But I still wanna see more, like an amusement park with you, a candy factory, and ooooh maybe one of those testing centers? People always dream about how miserable they are!

[ one of these is not like the other but that's fine. ]

[aspirings]

Well, we will certainly make sure that you see--

[....... ha?]

A... testing center?

[inparfait]

Yeah! You know, where you all sit in a building for way too many hours and take exam after exam? And then when the results come in at least half the people cry and sob about how their life is now over because they didn't get into the University of Tokyo?

[aspirings]

[you are talking about his immediate future, Minami... it does make a shiver go down his spine.

Ugh.........]

I... I see....

That is... very different from an amusement park.

[inparfait]

[ clapping his hands together, excited. ]

That's what makes it fun! It'd be boring to see only happy people all the time and it's boring to see depressed people all the time too. Up and down, up and down, humans make the best expressions, hehe!

[ well he's still more partial to the misery end of the spectrum but it's not like he can't appreciate hope in a sense because it makes the despair that much better. he's changed a little being here even if he really only cares about tsukasa's happiness, but hey that's definite progress.

and he's not like the grinch akechi who wants everyone to be miserable, so~. ]

[aspirings]

[Hm.......... Well. Tsukasa frowns a little bit at that, arms crossed.]

I suppose without feeling upset sometimes, we wouldn't be able to appreciate that happiness...

Still. [STILL. His entire dream is bringing smiles to people, so.] I'd rather see people happy, given the choice.

[inparfait]

Hehe I know, that's your dream! I think it's kinda cute. [ cute in the way where he wants to sink his teeth into it and tsukasa, but- ]

I wanna see how far you can go, I wanna see you do it, I wanna see how high you can fly and how bright you can shine!

[aspirings]

[Somehow Minami knows exactly how to puff Tsukasa up in just the right way.

Because yeah, he is immediately preening like a peacock again at that.

This is supposed to be Minami's interview, Tsukasa!!!]

Hmhmhm, well, of course! And I will, I assure you! You've yet to see just how high I'll be able to soar!

[Terrible.

Still, beaming as he is, he comes back down to earth after a moment, clearing his throat.]

Ah, but this is your interview, Minami. I still have one more question for you.

Have you been able to get along with any of the other contestants this week?

[inparfait]

Good~ [ that radiance, it burns, it makes him hungry, it makes him want to wrap all around tsukasa and take him for his own-

-right, the interview. minami takes a second to come back into himself with a lick of his lips. ]

Mmn? Anna and I went out and we didn't kill each other. Is that what you mean?

[aspirings]

[Entirely cluelessly, he's beaming over here.]

Yes! Precisely! That's wonderful news! [MINAMI IS MAKING....... FRIENDS? [citation needed]]

[inparfait]

[ so bright... ]

I don't hate her your know. Will's more annoying but I don't hate him either.

[ don't ask about akechi. ]

[aspirings]

[It's okay he has no desire to ask about Akechi.]

I'm honestly glad to hear that.

[Those are his friends, Minami!! He likes them! But also:]

I understand that you have no obligation to enjoy anyone's company, but this would be a very long four weeks without anyone to spend time with, I would think.

[inparfait]

I'm used to being alone.

[ not that he necessarily prefers it but he does prefer it to most company? anyway he's doing his best :nyaf: impression so tsukasa should probably tread carefully on how much he wants to keep exploring this line of questioning.

he's still allergic to friends even if he doesn't want to kill everyone here. ]

[aspirings]

[Ah... his brows come together and he gets a little bit of a frown at that. Mostly because, well... even if Minami is used to being alone, that doesn't mean--]

Well... so long as you aren't lonely, I suppose.

[He knows Minami is bad at talking about most things to do with emotion regardless, so asking any further about people he likes is probably fruitless.]

I'm still happy to hear about your progress, regardless. Ah--and that is the last proper question I have for you, too.

[THEY DID IT. THEY MADE IT THROUGH AN INTERVIEW.]

[inparfait]

I'm not! [ even without having invaded tsukasa's everything his answer would be the same because this is so much more exciting than Hell. with tsukasa it means he's having a great time honestly. ]

Do I get to ask you a question this time too? Or do you have an improper question for me first? ☆

[ like their first interview! also he couldn't resist there, not sorry. ]

[aspirings]

[oh my god.

That feels like it was so long ago at this point, and it was only two weeks... Tsukasa pauses as he... remembers... and then he coughs into a hand and looks away, cheeks lightly flushed.

They are in front of the cameras though, Minami...!!]

Y-yes, well. My answer back then was... [HE WAS SO CONFIDENT IN IT, TOO. WHAT HAPPENED.]

--never mind. Did you have another question to ask?

[inparfait]

[ minami's of course giggling, very pleased with himself. ]

I do~. If you had to be a fruit, what kinda fruit would you be?

[ revenge of the week 1 questions! even if tsukasa probably didnt have to answer this one. though really, this is all just minami being silly because that blush is more than enough to satisfy him. ]

[aspirings]

[It's okay, he'll answer.

Because, of course:]

Aha! A starfruit, naturally!

[closes my eyes]
