video; some action in the end

[The video option of the transmission will be used as an exhausted and sweaty individual will appear upon the screen. The first thing everyone will notice is the distance between the individual and the device used to transmit messages, it was clear that he was extremely close to the device as his hand is currently holding onto the top of the object for dear life -- he was using the phone booth as a way to keep himself steady and was currently having a difficult time breathing. He is rapidly breathing in and out, as though each breath might be his last. His gaze will look weak. It was clear that he was having a difficult time using the device as his focus does not seem, well, very focused. Actually, he is still wondering if the device was even working...

Once he was able to calm his breathing and uneasiness, he will offer a weak, but polite smile. It was clear from his gaze that he was currently helpless as he was in a later stage of the withdrawal sickness.]

Good evening. I apologize for unexpectedly taking much of your time by transmitting this message, but...I do not believe I will be able to speak at a more convenient time. [A short pause as he felt the dizziness take him over again. His smile will weaken even more as he takes another step closer to the device. At this rate, it feels as though he will lose his consciousness soon.] My name is Soushi Miketsukami. It has been almost three weeks ever since I have arrived to this... [He is still uncertain over if he was in a new country or city or continent all together.] ....quaint city. I am certain many of you are in the same predicament as myself. It is the reason that motivated me to finally speak because I wish to trade information....if you would like....

[But first, he needs to loosen a button from his white dress shirt. He really was feeling sick and even hot.]

How much has been found out over the situation? Like the reason for our sudden arrival? Or even the location of our current whereabouts? It is to my understanding that we were told over our mission was to be affectionate towards one another. Other information was not disclosed.... [And the nauseousness will return as he stops speaking for a moment, using his other hand to hold his head. How was he even able to stand after speaking so much? Much less get out of bed enough to leave his apartment, find a phone booth, and speak.] ...if you have any information to offer, then, if it is within your desire to share your knowledge, then I will be heavily indebted to you....especially if it will be the key needed to return home. [...] There is someone I need to return to...any help will truly....indeed....be greatly appreciated.... [Again, his expression will look a touch bit desperate, anxious, and lonely as he says the next line:] ...even if I do not deserve such a luxury....

[After a long pause as he ponders over his words, he will return his attention to the video transmission as he closes his eyes. Please pretend he is bowing!]

...thank you for your time....

[The transmission will end soon after.]

[And if anyone was out and about in the late evening hours, they will soon find a fallen individual, wearing a white kimono that happens to have nine tails and a pair of fox ears, on the ground as he has finally passed out from his current exhaustion and advanced withdrawal symptoms. Will you help him?]

[It certainly might, but he is certain his master would disapprove of it or else he would have transformed into a woman to seduce them.]

...not many men are as open in offering physical affections as easily to another of their same gender...

[More like, he was not expecting to be trapped within this world for as long as he have. He had been literally awaiting for his time to return -- it never arrived.

His gaze and head will finally turn to Jack as he tries his best to seem less pathetic as he did. Forced semi-healthy complexion, maybe?]

...thank you very much for your concern. You are very kind. [He hasn't realized he might have said that once before.] I do not believe...we introduced ourselves, have we? [It was clear he was sick because he was changing topics abruptly than simply steering to it. His gaze will continue to seem weak until he closes them.] I am known as Soushi Miketsukami. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintanceship...sir? [Although his eyes will be on his long hair, it would seem he finally took notice of it as he wonders that he might have found someone with longer hair than his own master. Although, raven hair is much more beautiful.] ...Ririchiyo-sama will look lovely with braided hair... [And it would seem he was now last within his mind. Snap him out of it?]

[ his gaze softened in sympathy even if the look was lost on Soushi. Some guises were worth maintaining, especially if their... needs could be mutually met. ]

We haven't, but then again, introductions seemed unimportant at the time. [ he chuckled quietly, keeping the mood light despite Soushi's obvious tenuous grasp on the present. ] You could barely stand. [ and he wasn't certain if Soushi could even know despite the hand that Jack still grasped. So he simply raised it to his lips, careful to keep his gaze on Soushi's as he pressed a slow kiss to the pulse point, intending to warm up to more intimate measures in slow degrees. It would not do if the fox decided to bolt after all. ]

Please call me Jack, and I am quite certain the pleasure is all mine.

[There will a slight nod from Soushi's end at the other man's comment over being unable to stand as he couldn't at the moment. He could randomly teleport from one point to another, but was unable to move nor control his abilities at the moment. He will simply continue to watch Jack as he could not help take notice of the point he was kissing his hand in.

A smile will appear on his lips as he could feel the energy the other man was offering him from such light touch.]

...it would seem as though...you are quite experienced in this sort of area, Jack-san. [His expression will soften as he places a his free over at Jack's cheek as he tries to bring his attention towards him.] Are you certain that you wish to continue further? Do you not wish to seek the company of a kind woman instead? [And slowly his smile will turn from formal to a more affectionate one.] I have never been in the arms of another man, so please do treat me kindly or else I might end up devouring you by mistake.

[ if simple hugs would do to cure this man of his malady, Jack would offer it, but expediency was somewhat of more concern then gentleness. And he simply rubbed a thumb across the spot he just finished kissing, drawing his own strength from the light touch on his cheek. ]

If you want to devour, be my guest. As you say, I am used to giving -- and receiving -- affection.

[There will be some silence at his part upon hearing the other man's words. He could not help begin to feel...sympathy towards him as he found the other man's reaction to be quite similar to his own before having met his master.

Without another word, Soushi will release his hold of his cheek, but instead bring himself to embrace the other man by allowing himself to hold him closely.]

I much prefer to do this than devour you... [He will hold him tighter as he allowed his hand hold onto the back of his head.] You must have someone who will feel the most concern if I were to do so. I do not believe my conscious would allow it... [Neither would his master, for that matter. She would be most disgusted if he happen to do so.] It would be best to save your natural talents for that special person instead of willingly offering it to me...even if you are the type to have experience in these type of areas... [Was that his way of offering advice? Maybe. In a way, it was more a reminder to himself than the other man. Only in a way.]

[ ah yes, the inevitable concern. But Jack doesn't complain, he simply allowed the man hold him (as Jack held him in return), taking what he needed and finding strength of his own in the affection, however wayward such advice was. His "talent" was never meant for that special person. He would never hold her. She was too precious for that. ]

I am my own master, but if this suffices to make you well, then I'm glad.

[ glad only in the sense that out here, in the heavy night air, such acts were never comfortable. He did prefer comfort, if comfort was at hand. ]

[He would agree with his train of thought -- only take what is needed, when it is needed. Clearly, Soushi did feel at ease around this man now. It might be the sickness or his inner romantic allowing for it because once he takes what he has there will be suspicion and weariness again.]

Likewise. I do hope my comfort will be enough to grant you strength... [Then he pauses as he searches through his memory while lightly brushing the other man's golden locks of hair.] Jack-san, was it? I do believe you said it was your name...

[ he relaxed into the touch, the gentle brush of his hair. He was used to this, it was familiar. And he returned the gesture by clutching at the fabric covering Soushi's chest, anchoring them both in the moment. ]

Please, just call me Jack. I never really cared much for titles. [ Why should he? They were just a chain like any other, constantly bringing him grief as a boy. ]

...then Jack-san, it is.

[He had a feeling there must be a reason behind not wishing to be known by his title. It had his interest and attention. Either way, he will leave well enough alone. Instead he will continue to allow him to remain in his place, continuing his comforting gesture as he continues to hold the other man. To hold another man, it was interesting experience as he has never held one. Then again, Natsume, his childhood friend, was the type to always cling to him throughout the time they have known each other for.]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintanceship. [An amused smile will appear.] Although, I do admit that meeting in these particular circumstances is quite different. I do not usually hold others like this unless I was asked to do so. [And even then, all his love goes to his master. All of it. Every part of it. Although, he does admit that he has not held his master as he usually would in the past...just the thought will weakened his smile as he begins to ponder over it.]

[ Jack didn't pay attention to the weakened smile, listening instead for the gentle tone and timbre of Soushi's voice as he spoke, as he stroked Jack's hair. He returned the sentiment but only through the brush of his fingers against Soushi's back. Firm enough to be registered, but light enough to keep either one from feeling trapped. ]

I'm afraid liaisons like this are sure to become common. It's why we were brought here after all. [ he looked up then, giving his own wry smile. ] However, I cannot regret this meeting. You have a soothing touch.

Yes, it would seem as so. [Then he wonders.] I wonder if it's indeed their intention in having brought us to their world. Do you know anything over the matter? Other than what they claim, of course. [Might as well gather information over the topic, maybe Jack had found out some type of information.]

...you are too kind for words, Jack-san. But, thank you. Your thoughtful words have brought a great deal of joy to hear. I do admit it has been quite some time since I last held someone. It makes me wonder if I am unqualified to be part of such a world... [He will continue to hold the other man as he felt his strength slowly returning to him. It would seem like the affectionate gesture was being welcomed by his form. It was an interesting sensation.] Thank you very much for having allowed this encounter, Jack-san. I do admit I was uncertain on what I was to do if you did not appear. [Then he wonders.] Do you not feel weary over my current form?

[ was Jack supposed to? ]

Hmmm... no more so then the hour calls for. It is late, after all. [ there's a smile in his voice as Jack glanced down taking in the form in question ] Is this not your usual appearance?

[ but he didn't stop there and simply shook his head ] And what I know is simply what I've seen and heard. It's true, however, that strength seems to return with contact. It is a strange world we find ourselves in.

[ strange and troublesome. It was not a world Jack would have imagined. Far from it. After all, touch was easy to give, to initiate. Rarely did it ever end well. ]

[Only if he didn't want, he is only surprise to find another human so comfortable around him especially when so many call him a monster after witnessing his transformation.]

It's difficult to say as I am uncertain over my true form. I tend to switch back and force... [And with the sickness currently plaguing him, he was forced to change into his youkai form. It made him wonder the reason for his forced transformation.] But I doubt I will be using this form very often.

[As for the shared information, Soushi will simply nod his head, deciding he will not pry further over the information he had gathered as it might be the same he has heard. Information was still limited.]

A world that is powered by physical contact... [An amused chuckle will appear as he finds it all very amusing.] Strange is one way to look at it. I find it rather unique and charming, in its own way. The only trouble will be calculating the new rules over the matter of physical contact. How much affection is needed to keep one from falling ill or from being affectionate to someone everyday? [With a smile.] Although you are experienced in these areas, do you prefer to be affectionate to someone every single day or once every few days?
