[ The video comes on and Louis is front and center. He got a grasp on the technology pretty quickly. He's... annoyed, and he's not good at hiding it, either. His tone is just as annoyed. Like. He can't believe he has to go over this. ]

So, since this is the best way to get the message out from what I can tell, and I'm sick of repeating myself, so I'll only say this once.

[ Pause. He has a long pause between each of the words. ]

I.

Am.

Not.

A.

Monster.

[ He lifts the camera up to get a full view of his head, to get a good shot at every angle. ]

I am just a deer. I arrived here like this.

[ Frown. ]

Any questions?

I'm getting to know some, here and there.

I have two here with me that I know from home. One is an easy to get along with guy, unless you're an enemy of his. Then, he's more threatening than I am. The other is the type who'd rather be alone, at least when he's not following my every move.

Needless to say, I've been getting by swimmingly. I am wondering if that dream meant that I was going to completely turn into a vampire in time, however.

[rightfoot]

That dream seemed to have some idea of what we were going to at least be here. I've been practicing magic.

No one from home is here, at least.

[proficience]

If only I could practice vampirism!

That's a relief for you, right?

[rightfoot]

I'm glad. For their sake, honestly.

ANd I mean, if you're a vampire, aren't you technically practicing it. As in - getting better at being one.

[proficience]

You assume I know what I'm doing!

[rightfoot]

Am I giving you too much credit?

[proficience]

When it comes to being a vampire, perhaps!

I'm still learning many things. For one, I need to study up on some blood-centric recipes.

[rightfoot]

You'll get a hang of it. And remember - cannibalizing your friends isn't the best way to go!

[proficience]

I'm not planning on doing any such thing! My friends from home have volunteered to help me out on the blood front, but that's it.

[He uses that term loosely in regards to Akutagawa, obviously.]

[rightfoot]

That's kind of them, Dazai. Good friends do things like that for one another.

[ No...Louis, stop. ]

[proficience]

They do!

[He's not sure why Louis made the point of saying that, but he does agree.]

Anyway, I have some tasks that need to be done. Namely, I should start looking for work! Talk to you again soon.
