fifth song [Voice]

[Eikichi turns the video on. He actually looks pretty exhausted, .]

Man... Valentine's day already? Just a month or two ago it was summer... this place is pretty confusing. Hope you guys get celebrating in there for me too, ya?

[He laughs.]

You know... being stuck in this place got me into testing out the fish and my new... thing. I think it's a dog...? But now everything feels all surreal, like we walked into a video game and it's some epic adventure.

So I started testing them out.

...the fish seems kinda useful. At least, for a fish.

[A shrug. He'll get used to the thing eventually. And he's about to shut it off, as he's run out of conversation topics, when he remembers something--]

Yo... Suzuki, darlin'... did you get to run into Daisuke yet? I hope he's behaving for ya if you have. He's a good kid, so he should be.

I've heard people say it's kind of like a video game before, but it's nothing I heard of back home.

Maybe it wasn't out where you were? Or you could be too old for it. It sounded like something that existed where I was, but I didn't have time for video games. That stuff's for kids. I've got a band to take care of.

Maybe it just wasn't there, because if this was a video game, I'd definitely have played it -- whoa, a band? [Bands = fame = BEING REMEMBERED]

Hmm... maybe it wasn't released worldwide or something. Who knows.

[INTERESTED IN MY BAND, YOU SAY?!]

Yep! It's called Gas Chamber. We're pretty low-key right now, 'cause we're just getting started, but just you wait! Give us a few years and we'll be famous.

[INTERESTED IN YOUR BAND, I SAY]

Gas Chamber... that sounds pretty awesome! Maybe if all your bandmates show up, you can debute here to get a head start!

That'd be pretty wicked!

If... they could... [And now he sounds like he's gonna cry.]

[shenanigaans.livejournal.com]

Yeah! -- Hey, don't sound like that, they could still show up!

audio ; loliskay

[captain-pantsu.livejournal.com]

They... they can't, man. Ken, Shogo, Takeshi... they're... they're gone, gone for good...

[What was that, the stifled hic of someone about to cry? From Eikichi?!]

Wh--- [OH GOD HE MEANS THEY'RE--] Oh... oh man, I'm sorry!

Not your fault, kid... what happens, happens. I'll...

I'll get 'em back.
