6th Inversion [Vine - Text/Accidental Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[The Vine unfurls to show the following letter:



A minute or so after the letter is sent, the mirror opens to show Akiha's bedroom. The fireplace is roaring and Akiha is sitting on the floor before it. Her knees are pulled up and she has her face buried in her arms, black hair pulled back in a ponytail. If one looks closely, her shoulder's shake every now and then.

Clearly, she's oblivious to the mirror's activation, but the Vine and Akiha never did get along...]

I'm a lawyer. I'm not allowed to mock anyone.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Only in a court room.

[drinkswithminors]

Or anywhere else. Seriously.

Anyways, I was being sincere. You gave me a scare back there, but you don't seem like a bad person from this apology.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[She snorts lightly.] I'm certainly not a good person.

[drinkswithminors]

I didn't say that. I just said you're not a bad person.

[ritsu_kouyou]

That's up for debate.

[drinkswithminors]

Maybe, but that's how I feel. I'm gonna stick with it until you do something else fucked up.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I suppose that is acceptable.

[drinkswithminors]

I should hope so. It's all you're getting.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...I never got your name.

[drinkswithminors]

Call me Akira.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...no family name you wish to use?

[drinkswithminors]

I have one, but I legitimately prefer this.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...

[Akiha's a bit uncomfortable with it, but...]

Very well.

[drinkswithminors]

And I guess you want me to call you Tohno, right?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Seeing as we've just met - yes.

[drinkswithminors]

Good. Because I was going to call you Freaky Vampire Lady for a bit until you actually said what you wanted to be called. But in the interest of being civil, I'll take what I can from your writing.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm not a vampire.

[drinkswithminors]

Coulda fooled me.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I suppose 'pop culture' has made the vampire the icon of such things.

[drinkswithminors]

Can you really blame me? I'm a product of my generation. Hell, I'm pretty sure vampires don't even really exist where I come from.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I can, but I won't.

[drinkswithminors]

See? Not a bad person.
