Skype Log of Adam and Izaya. Comes after the news of Izaya losing his strikes.



Sey
Adam: *sighs* That's the first issue.. You can't 'fix' people. It's not possible. And if she had been as close to you as she thought she was, then she should know better than anyone how wrong she went about this. It's way too obvious...

Kitomyx
Iza: What do you MEAN it's obvious?!

Sey
Adam: *looks at Iza* She got upset cause you broke their trust, right? Did she ask you why?

Kitomyx
Iza: Why I broke her trust? She said she didn't care. It's been too many times, though, so I guess I can't really blame her. I just can't get over the fact that this essentially means she's SENTENCING ME TO DEATH.

Sey
Adam: But that's the thing, dude. *frowns* I just met you, but I know you don't do s**t without thinking. You just don't. There was a reason there and it was big enough for you to hurt someone. *shrugs gently* She's taking it too personally without stepping back and realizing stuff in context. *runs a hand through his hair*
Adam: So really sentencing you to death is... It's not going to change anything. I think she wants it to, but... Again. She doesn't understand. It won't change anything.

Kitomyx
Iza: Whoop-de-do for you. You have me all figured out, don't you? *clearly not happy about it*
Iza: She's probably just re-living that time with the other guy who betrayed her trust.

Sey
Adam: *smiles* Yeah, I do. *just saying it to piss him off. Quiet* You're not that guy. I don't get it, but I guess that's why I don't really get people in general. *shrugs* Normal people, that is. Now weirdos, like you, I seem to understand. *grins*

Kitomyx
Iza: Takes one to know one.

Sey
Adam: Touche, Koibito~ *stands up* So... Guess this means we gotta get serious about getting you some freedom, huh?

Kitomyx
Iza: *flicks his head* Calm your tits. This is about me, not you. Don't worry your pretty little head about it~

Sey
Adam: *winces and then blinks* ... Did you... Really just... Tell me to calm... my tits? |: Woah. I hadn't expected that. *rolls his eyes* Dude, you can't keep me from worrying about it OR you. And I already agreed well before to help.

Kitomyx
Iza: *smirks, but smirk soon disappears* You can't help. It's in the elite's hands now.
Iza: Just leave it alone.

Sey
Adam: *shakes his head* You told me you had two strikes left. This brings you to one, if they decide that what Faleen says requires another strike. So it's not over.

Kitomyx
Iza: They decided that what Faleen says is I have no chances left because she thinks I plan to use them as chances to misbehave. So it's all or nothing, now. Don't worry about things you can't change. You're just a grunt.
Iza: It's not like I don't deserve it, anyway.

Sey
Adam: ... What a ******** b***h. *seriously unhappy* I can't ******** believe that. I seriously can't ******** believe that.

Kitomyx
Iza: *stares at him* Calm down, you. It's not like you're the one in this mess. And I'm not as innocent as I'd like to be.

Sey
Adam: *shakes his head* You don't snitch on your own. I don't care if you stabbed her and tried to take her ******** kidney. glares at Iza That's bullshit.

Kitomyx
Iza: Well, she -was- assigned to me to keep an eye on me. And I deceived her, so she has every right to report it, don't you think?
Iza: ...Kidney? Where are you getting this from?

Sey
Adam: No. *says that solemnly* Even more so that you were her responsibility. She got pissed off cause she couldn't fix you. And she didn't even stop to think about YOU. GOD. Vruffles his own hair and just flops on the bed, clearly annoyedV Why the ******** are people so STUPID IZAYA? SERIOUSLY. Does she think this is gonna change ANYTHING for you? ******** shitball. It won't change a DAMN thing. You could like... GAH. *fumes and stares at the ceiling* She has every right to report it, but that sure as ******** doesn't make it the right thing to do. Nor does it even make it the SMART thing to do. It was vindictive and a tactic to try and get you to conform. I ********, that god forbid you DO get killed, she'll ******** be devastated.

Kitomyx
Iza: *stares blankly at Adam, never having had someone on -his- side before* ... I don't think I've actually seen you this angry before. Close, but not quite.

Sey
Adam: *looks over at Iza and snorts grumpily* You're lucky. I'm usually pretty pissy. But it's normally at s**t like this or dumb a** computers. Or people being dumb WITH dumb a** computers.

Kitomyx
Iza: ...Are you having withdrawals?

Sey
Adam: *gives him this what the ******** Izaya look* What?

Kitomyx
Iza: Well, you're acting like you're PMSing, fuming about problems that aren't yours and jumping to random topics like computers. It's starting to worry me.

Sey
Adam: *shakes his head and just closes his eyes. Takes a breather to calm down and opens his eyes again to look at the ceiling* No... I'm not withdrawing. I mentioned comps cause you said I was not usually this angry. So I told you when I normally get angry. As for not my problem...*quiet, rubbing his face before nibbling on his right thumb. Speaks slowly* I don't... know how to explain it. I don't think I can explain it properly. At least... Not right now... *looks at Iza again* You're my friend. And I KNOW. Don't start your s**t. I know. But it doesn't change what you are to me. *frowns* further more, I really can't stand people who are so weak as to push someone that far into a corner.
Adam: What she's doing... what she's done... She's a moron.
Adam: *smiles bitterly* And that's putting it lightly.

Kitomyx
Iza: *regards him for a while in silence* So what does that make you, investing so much time, energy, and emotion in someone you've known for a few weeks? At least Faleen had had three years to build up her attitude toward me, whatever it may be.

Sey
Adam: *grins widely* Oh. I never said I wasn't an idiot too. I'm an idiot. But I know what I'm getting into. Faleen saw you as a project. At least... That's what I'm getting. From what you said and her final reaction.

Kitomyx
Iza: ...Yes. That's what I thought. *frowns at Adam* That's what I said to that elite. Have you been spying on me?

Sey
Adam: No. I've been around people who had the same thought process. Who saw... Who saw someone as a way to redeem themselves. By fixing that person, they could become better. frowns It doesn't work, and if it's been three years, Faleen had a LOT staked in this. Failure isn't an option for her, Koibito. She's just shoving you as far into a corner as she can so she can grab you by the balls and make you jump when she says jump.

Kitomyx
Iza: What people were these, now? Not your foster parents?

Sey
Adam: *thinking* If you let me help you, I'll tell you.

Kitomyx
Iza: *frowns at him* Why you little - how do you think you can help, anyway?

Sey
Adam: No clue, not yet at least, but two heads are better than one. We can figure something up.

Kitomyx
Iza: *shakes his head* You certainly are a strange one, Addi-chii.

Sey
Adam: *grins wickedly* Take ones to know one~ *smile tempers and then becomes somber* I like you dude. You're fun and enjoyable to be around. I kinda thought my life as a rocket would suck big time. A bunch of shitty people who tried to be edgy or hardcore or whatever.. and honestly out of the ones I've met I really like you the most. You're a blast and you make... this decision to be a rocket... Really worthwhile.

Kitomyx
Iza: *Sticks out his tongue and goes back to typing on his computer, not looking at Adam as he listens* ...I was wrong. You're not strange. You're insane.

Sey
Adam: *gets up and sits behind Iza on his bed, getting comfortable, but making no motion to watch what he is typing or spy on him. Just relaxing there* Maybe... Probably. Here I am constantly bugging some guy who has made it abundantly clear he couldn't care less about me. But that hasn't changed anything. Either I'm insane or very oblivious. Either way... It doesn't change how I feel. Or why I feel it.

Kitomyx
Iza: *glances at Adam out the corner of his eye* Do you even know what that feeling is? Sure it isn't just a joy of pestering me?

Sey
Adam: *hums very softly, giving himself a few moments to think before he responds* Nah.. It's fun to pester you. But you pester me too. It's more than that.

Kitomyx
Iza: Oh, good. I'm glad you're not so insane that I can't annoy you~ *smirks as he types*

Sey
Adam: *only smiles and lays down on the bed beside him, eyes closed* So... can I help you then~?

Kitomyx
Iza: *turns his head to look at him, still typing without looking at his monitor* As it turns out, there's nothing to help with. I've been told I'm 'not on thin ice anymore, but treading water'. I guess that means they're not going to drown me just yet.

Sey
Adam: *gasps in surprise, eyes opening sharply and looking at Iza. Looks genuinely relieved and happy* Seriously? Thank god! That's good... I mean, you're still in deep s**t, but... It's not over yet. *rubs his face, thinking* What do you have to do to get in their good graces again?

Kitomyx
Iza: *blinks twice* You're really happy about this, aren't you?

Sey
Adam: It's not like I want you dead. ;

Kitomyx
Iza: Well maybe not, which is odd enough, but you seem more pleased than I am. *cocks his head* Ne~ Will you tell me, now? About what people you've been around who saw someone as a way to redeem themselves?

Sey
Adam: ... I will on one condition.

Kitomyx
Iza: *frowns* What?

Sey
Adam: If a chance arises and you need help, you let me help.

Kitomyx
Iza: *grits his teeth and sighs* What 'chance'? Like if I fall down and you help me up?

Sey
Adam: I guess so. Or you need someone to talk to or you want to vent.
Adam: Maybe I'm not making sense. *murmurs that, playing with his lip ring with his tongue*

Kitomyx
Iza: *giggles* Need someone to talk to? Thanks, Addi-chii, but I'm not exactly the shy type. *pats him*

Sey
Adam: -amused- Bad choice of words. -shakes his head and stretches- Everyone... Everyone saw me as a way to redeem themselves. Counselor a wanted to prove they were good at their jobs. Teachers wanted to be lauded as the one who could tame the bad kid. Friends... They wanted to either fix me or they wanted to have me there to make themselves feel or look better. My foster parents.... -smile becomes pained. Whispers- Rather not talk about them right now...
Adam: -blows out roughly- All of then wanted to fix me.

Kitomyx
Iza: *raises a brow* Were you so sure they weren't actually trying to help?
Iza: ...*watches him*

Sey
Adam: -looks at Iza- How do you know that Faleen wasn't trying to help you?

Kitomyx
Iza: I'm pretty sure she was.
Iza: I just don't think I need help.

Sey
Adam: -nods and hums- see? That's it. -sighs- they never stopped to see what I wanted. Just like Faleen didn't stop to see how you felt about all of this. -shrugs- she had an agenda. A mission.
Adam: They'd become mad when I didn't change. Sometimes fight with me... Sometimes they'd just drop me and leave. It depended on the person. But it was always because I wouldn't be what they wanted me to be. And they'd take it personally.

Kitomyx
Iza: I see. So you never thought to just play along until you were free to go about your own way?

Sey
Adam: I did, but it made it worse in some cases. But like with counselors I perfected the art of acting like I was different completely.

Kitomyx
Iza: *chuckles* And what? They didn't buy it?

Sey
Adam: -grins- They bought it. I'm a damn good actor when I decide to be.

Kitomyx
Iza: So how did it make things worse?

Sey
Adam: Before I did selective faking, I faked for everyone but it made it harder. Once I learned who I needed to fake it for stuff became a little easier.

Kitomyx
Iza: But it was difficult for you, even if everyone else was buying it, mm?

Sey
Adam: -nods- but you do what you gotta do to survive. -shrugs weakly-

Kitomyx
Iza: *sneers* True~ But you're on your own now, right? Why go right back under someone's thumb by joining Team Rocket?

Sey
Adam: -winks- Secrets~

Kitomyx
Iza: Fair. *smiles and goes back to his typing* And it keeps things interesting.

Sey
Adam: -grins- don't it? Hey... When you told me you learned parkour out of necessity before.. What happened? Did you have a rough childhood or something!

Kitomyx
Iza: *snickers* Not really~ It started in high school when I met Shizu-chan. I made a playmate out of him and he used to chase me, so I had to learn parkour to get away from him fast enough. Of course, then that neanderthal taught -himself- parkour to chase -me-.

Sey
Adam: -laughs at that- Sounds like you had fun. How did you get into info brokering then?

Kitomyx
Iza: Well after high school, Shizu-chan's attention made me keep a low profile. And I already had s good deal of connections from middle and high school, so I watched people and learned things. *grins* Then I sold that information and traded it for more. And, in that way, pretty much made money from almost nothing except doing my favorite hobby~

Sey
Adam: -shakes his head, smiling in amazement- you're something else. That's cool, though. Earning money from your hobby. I did that for a little bit, but mine wasn't as lucrative.

Kitomyx
Iza: What was yours, then?

Sey
Adam: I made techno tracks for clubs.

Kitomyx
Iza: Oh? *chuckles* You like music, then?

Sey
Adam: -grins- yeah. I love music. I used to be in a club of a bunch of guys who would put on concerts and stuff for the school. It was super fun. -quiet- I almost tried to get into the business but I just... Couldn't do it.
Adam: Oh, is Shizu-chan another evil ex?

Kitomyx
Iza: -casts him a dangerous look- Not even close.
Iza: -goes back to typing- Hm. Music club, then?

Sey
Adam: Ohh? Someone you hate? And yeah. It was unofficial. But fun while it lasted.

Kitomyx
Iza: More like some 'thing'. Can we change the subject, please~?

Sey
Adam: All right all right. No more talk about that. -smiles- We should celebrate the fact you're not going to be killed!

Kitomyx
Iza: -dull voice- By what? Going to do something that -will- get me killed?

Sey
Adam: -shakes his head- we could get a cake and some tea? Maybe watch a movie or I could finally get you to drink!

Kitomyx
Iza: -closes his laptop with an incredulous face, accepting the fact he's not going to get any work done- I feel like we've already had this conversation before. Are you practicing on me to ask some girl out on a date?

Sey
Adam: -blinks, looks slightly confused- Why would I ask some girl on a date?

Kitomyx
Iza: ... -stares at him- Do you not swing that way?

Sey
Adam: -frowns a little- Didn't we have that discussion?

Kitomyx
Iza: ... -sighs- All I remember is you're a virgin.

Sey
Adam: Oh? Huh. -chuckles a little- is that gonna be an issue?

Kitomyx
Iza: No, but the -rest- might. Just so I can sleep well at night, what was it?

Sey
Adam: What was what?
Adam: I'm not being an a** -holds his hands up in a sign of surrender- I don't follow what you're asking.

Kitomyx
Iza: The discussion we supposedly had. What was it about?

Sey
Adam: Oh! Just that I was a virgin. Apparently we didn't discuss sexuality then too. I thought we had.

Kitomyx
Iza: If we had, I might have tuned you out. I remember you being exposed to porn painfully clearly, though.

Sey
Adam: -amused- I'm glad I left a mark on you. -yawns- but yeah... I don't swing that way.

Kitomyx
Iza: -just stares- Did you mean that the way I think you did?
Iza: WHICH way? You've been beating around the bush so much, I don't know what way is what, now!

Sey
Adam: -laughs now, becoming amused- No! I'm not. I'm not attracted to girls.

Kitomyx
Iza: ...So you're gay, then?

Sey
Adam: Yeah. That's what I meant when I asked if it was gonna be an issue. I mean, is it?

Kitomyx
Iza: -snorts- Not any more than it already is.

Sey
Adam: -grins broadly- good. It'd suck to have to punch you. Come on -climbs out if bed- let's go celebrate!

Kitomyx
Iza: ...Punch me? How would that solve anything?

Sey
Adam: I don't know. But it seems like the right reaction.

Kitomyx
Iza: ...............Rather violent, aren't we?

Sey
Adam: Says the dude that has thrown a knife at me and threatened me with one? -bemused-

Kitomyx
Iza: Not without reason. Or because 'it seemed like the right reaction'. It's more self-defense.

Sey
Adam: -sighs- Honestly I probably wouldn't have. I guess it would just depend on how you said it was an issue. Cause if it was an issue that'd be seriously shitty.

Kitomyx
Iza: You're telling me. smirks But I can handle myself~ Besides, I don't think you'd have the guts to come over and grope me at night.

Sey
Adam: -sticks his tongue out- unlike you I'm not a coward. But I am a decent human... So I wouldn't do that. Mutual intentional gropings only. -heads to the door- We going?

Kitomyx
Iza: -pouts- Now, that's just not nice. Who said I was a coward? -registers the rest of his sentence- Now your talk is starting to scare me. -sighs and follows- Where are we going?

Sey
Adam: You did yourself. -laughs and leaves- how about... Cake, tea, and then head back to the room to watch a movie? We should get our pokemon a treat too.

Kitomyx
Iza: -grumbles- Do what you want. Mine never listen to me, so I don't know why they deserve anything.

Sey
Adam: If you were nicer they would listen! Maybe giving them a treat will motivate them to be better?

Kitomyx
Iza: Faleen isn't nice to hers and -they- listen. -Frowns- Fine. I'll get one just to show you.

Sey
Adam: I'm starting to like Faleen even less. -shakes his head-

Kitomyx
Iza: -snickers-
Iza: If I get -you- a treat, will -you- behave better?

Sey
Adam: -laughs- depends on the treat~ and I'm well behaved!

Kitomyx
Iza: I can't say I agree.

Sey
Adam: Alas, to be imperfect is my lot in life!

Kitomyx
Iza: -shakes head, smiling- Baka.
