ledbythewind | ['Accidental' Video/Action]

[Video]

[At first, the journal seems to have been left open by accident, perhaps knocked open by some errant passerby, as the only thing visible is what looks to be a ceiling. Certainly nothing remarkable, in any case.

However, it isn't long before the sound of a bell jingling can be heard over the journals, followed almost immediately by a surprised and dismayed squawk of protest, then by Richard's laughter.]

What are you-- Oh come on. I am not wearing this. [There’s further jingling as the subject of Richard’s tormenting speaks up.]

Just as I thought-- it suits you perfectly. Purple really is your color.

There are nicer collars out there, you know. Ones that don’t make noise.

And if I said the noise was the point?

[More jingling as the collar is tugged at, but not removed.] You want to slowly drive yourself mad?

I want to be able to know where you are. You’re far too quiet when you’re around the house.

Me? Quiet? Pfft. You mean you can’t just follow my constant complaining?

I suppose I could always give you more to complain about instead…

You’re already doing that, so I lose either way.

[He laughs again.] Then I see no reason to object to this.

[Score another victory for Richard.]

[Action]

[Mission accomplished, Richard will spend the rest of the day tidying up around the house and running a few errands. Those who pay attention might notice that there's something slightly... off about him, though. At home, he very nearly trips over the cat and accidentally bumps his shin against the coffee table at one point (which anyone in the house will be made aware of when he yelps); at the store, he stands there staring at the ingredient lists on food items far longer than most people would.

It's a definite aberration for the usually elegant and graceful king, but one he'll try to shrug off if asked about.]

(OOC: Joint post between Richard (green) and Isamu (purple)! One or both will answer the video part-- if you have a preference, feel free to specify.)

Only sometimes?

[This, Isamu, is an eyebrow being raised at you.]

It seems you and I have a very different definition of 'sometimes.'

Come to think of it, you made fun of me when you were talkin' with me at the last staff meeting too!

[Sigh~]

I only tease because I care!

And the more he teases you, the more he cares.

[Richard knows this quite well by now.]

Oh, so that's how it works? [ :T ] So what were you doing, anyway?

I am being treated like an animal. It's most humiliating.

And yet I don't see you trying to take it off.

[Push Richard away, yes. Remove it, no.]

Oh... so do you like collars?

No!

[Well not ones with bells. And not ones that didn't involves something kinky. With a girl.]

[Richard just reaches out to tap the bell on it lightly with the tip of a finger.]

Then why are you wearing it...?

It was totally against my will! Richard is a sneaky motherfucker!

[A sneaky motherfucker who currently has one hand pressed to his mouth, his other against Isamu's back for support as he shakes with silent laughter.]

I believe this would be the first time I've earned that particular distinction.

Wait, so he snuck up on you to put it on you?! That's great!

[ And he bursts out laughing. AHAHA. Ha ]

Hey, when you're used to having someone around, you let your guard down.

[Grumble grumble.]

It seems I've succeeded in getting him to stop thinking of me as a threat.

[Folding his arms to rest them atop Isamu's head.]

Oh that's just 'cus you're best friends, right? So why would he even be a threat anyway?

He never was!

[Okay, so he'd been worried that he might threaten his friendship with Naoki once upon a time, but still.]

I am a rather dangerous man...

[Now he's just trolling them both and enjoying every moment of it.]

You are . . . ?

[ Man he can't even picture that.

Dude's like a twig.

A twiggy twig.

Even Konekomaru has more muscles... ]

[Isamu just gives Richard a wry look, brow raised.]

Oh yes. You haven't heard tales of my exploits here?

[He looks right back at Isamu with what is clearly a "You're playing along with this, right?" expression.]

... No...?

[ Should he have . . . ]

[Richard will just get a snort and another look for that one.]

You're on your own with that one, man.

You see? Even Isamu doesn't wish to speak of them.
