35th Candid Photo

[It's Sunday!  A glorious, sunny, springtime Sunday!  And there's no school tomorrow!  Clearly, this is the perfect time for a date with Shirley!  That's Hachibe's general thought pattern as he heads over to 1664 Nelson Street, anyway.  Of course, when he gets there, he's confronted with a cheerful drone asking him about the homework they got assigned to do over spring break instead.  Shoving his way past her, Hachibe storms up the stairs to her room, rummaging through closets as the drone yells at him for being a pervert and going into a girl's bedroom without permission.  After a while of tearing through stuff, he doesn't find what he was looking for, and excuses himself and leaves.]

[Action; around town]

[After leaving Shirley's house, Hachibe can be found slinking back home looking like a kicked puppy.  Contrary to his usual upbeat demeanor, he's got his eyes cast downward and his hands in his pockets as he trudges along.  Every so often he sighs deeply, lifting a hand to rub at the corners of his eyes before continuing on.]

[Phone; unfiltered]

Hahahaha!  Who needs love anyway!  Am I right, guys?  How could I ever have been so stupid?  I knew it all along - it's all about the parts!

[Denizens of 1250 Williams Road will find Hachibe up in his room late Sunday evening cleaning up his room and rearranging things.  In particular, he can be found cutting the eyes out of all the pictures of Charlotte Yeager that used to be hanging up around his room and putting them in shoeboxes in his closet.  After staring for a while at the last such picture, he tucks it into the back of a book and puts it in the back of one of his desk drawers.  After that's all done, he can be found sitting on his bed lazily flipping through some of the porn magazines he regained a few months back, looking at it with an almost bored expression on his face.]

[lmao hachibe

I mean what, who is this guy and what is his deal]

....I'm sorry, what was that last thing? I think I misheard you.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Just reaffirming how I want to live my life, that's all.

[headedforhope]

Really? I don't mean to pry, but it sounds very....lonely, don't you think?

If you're trying to act cool, you're doing a really bad job of it.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Dunno what you mean! I'm just happy to be free again!

[Yeah, he is bad at this.]

[desolavi.livejournal.com]

... why do you even bother?

[Ruri nods to him at work at the cosplay cafe]

"Are you all right?"

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[It takes him a moment, but he plasters on a fake smile as he looks up.]

Yup! Fine! Never better!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"You look like a kicked puppy, the smile doesn't help. Would you like a soda? I think I can cover you for one if it would help."

"Parts"? I don't... Hachibe, what happened...?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Haha, nothing! Nothing at all!

[Shana is watching yet another kicked-puppy person. Curiously]

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

[Currently, he's not paying attention.]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that's dumb.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

What's dumb about it?

Hachibe....

Dude if you're a serial killer who covets his victims body parts, probably not a good idea to announce it to the world.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Serial killer? No way!

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Never better!

Love is a many splendored thing.

When it's not breaking your heart of course.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

What should I do?

Hachibe? You don't want dinner?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

I'm not hungry.

[His voice doesn't sound depressed at this point so much as just flat and numb.]
