Behind you

[gudbye_despair]

Maybe you can call it veteran soldier's perk. Or maybe it's some supernatural sixth sense. Or maybe it's your survival instinct. Whatever you call it, for this past week you often find your goosebump rising, as if someone is observing you. But you never managed to caught the culprit.

Until now. You're doing your own business. Eating? Repairing something? Just walking in a hall? Or bathing? When you turn your head, you find Elena's face peeking from behind a corner.

[Gregory was actually in the middle of eating, and his spoon stops halfway between the bowl and his face as he stares in confusion at this.]

Can I help you?

[gudbye_despair]

Do you need some soy sauce, Mr. Gregory? Or some salt?

[Sora normally has the benefit of her partner AI to keep watch, though she's noticed that chill often enough. Today, however, finds her in the showers. Which means POTPOURRI isn't there to search for threats. So when she feels the chill again, she whirls, holding a bar of soap to throw at the intruder...!]

Who's there!? I... oh hey, there's actually someone there. And female, too. Hello?

[gudbye_despair]

*It's elena, in a towel*

Do you need for your back to be washed, Miss Sora?

[sunshine_maiden]

...Sure, why not? Thanks. Um... have we met, though?

And why were you sneaking up on me? ['Do I have a stalker...?']

[gudbye_despair]

You finally noticed me. I'm so happy.

[Gen was actually minding his own business, kinda feeling good of himself despite everything that's gone on... only to turn the corner and jump back in surprise as he saw Elena peeking.]

WOAH!

[gudbye_despair]

Oh! I'm sorry... You're not meant to see me...

So the watcher has become the watched.

Kensuke was minding his own business, following Valentine, his Stalker chicken, around with a video camera, when the hair on the back of his neck stood up. He turned around quickly, his camera ready for whatever he might find-

"Oh! oh.... hello." He was a bit started to find it was a girl, and not something more sinister.

[gudbye_despair]

Oh... you finally noticed me. I'm so happy.

"Whhhaaaa?" Kensuke was really confused now. "Uhhhh... did you want me to film you? Cuze... you just had to ask ya know!" Valentine clucked in agreement, and began sort of pecking at the girl's feet.

[gudbye_despair]

I don't really need anything. I just find you... intriguing.

"Oh? Oh. Um, well I'm Kensuke Aida. And the chicken is Valentine. It's... nice to meet you...?" He held out his left hand, as the right cradled his camera to his chest. Kensuke had no idea how to react to that.

[gudbye_despair]

I'm Elena Ivanov. You're always following people.

"I guess... I do do that alot.... but it's not the only thing I do! When you say it sounds creepy!" Kensuke pushed up his glasses, embarrassed. "And look who's talking! You where following me!"

[gudbye_despair]

Yes. You follow people but nobody is following you. That's why I'm following you.

This was going in circles, and Kensuke was getting dizzy.
"Well uh, I mean, I'm not that interesting. Certainly not worth following." With out a camera at least "Are you trying to get NERV's secrets? Cuze you know I don't know that much, and I wouldn't tell you anyways!" It had already happened at least once, and stalking someone was just about like spying wasn't it?
Kensuke reached down and picked up Valentine, his freakish Stalker chicken, and tucked her into his messenger bag.

[gudbye_despair]

I don't care about your organization's secret. It's you who I find interesting. Following people by yourself, don't you find it lonely?

[not_the_deer]

If you want something, you should just ask instead of following me, you know...

[gudbye_despair]

I don't need anything.... other than you...

[not_the_deer]

...What is that supposed to mean?

[gudbye_despair]

That doesn't mean anything other than what it means.

[not_the_deer]

Oookay...

[He backs away slowly.]

[A presence? But no killing intent...Domon doesn't even turn around.]

I know you're there. Show yourself.

[gudbye_despair]

You can notice me. As expected from someone of your caliber.

[king-of-hams.livejournal.com]

It's not so easy to sneak up on someone as well trained as me. So...

Why don't you tell me who you are, and why you're spying on me?

[gudbye_despair]

I'm just following you because I heard a lot of great things about you. I never followed a celebrity before.

[king-of-hams.livejournal.com]

Hm...so, a fangirl?

[gudbye_despair]

Gundam fight is amazing. How you rip apart your enemies just with your bare hand... how can I not be your fan?
