[ Wherever he is (I mean wherever, even if he's inside and there should logically be no way to get inside... except obviously the dorms, ANYWHERE ELSE THOUGH!!!!) there's a slight whoosh noise. Wataru told him to look up, so he sure hopes he is because there is a bound book being floated near him, tied up and being held aloft by seven balloons in the colours of the rainbow. Yes just like the animals who are crossing Nintendo Switches everywhere...

If he doesn't just let the balloon float away, never to be seen again, the following is what's inside:

Several days worth of entries. Despite what he said before, the diary seems to start off with what he was doing away from ☆ZRAEL. ]

It is day one of shooting CAROLINA JAMES AND THE SHRINE OF IMMORTALITY. I seem to have found myself cast as Carolina James' love interest, Maximillian Crowland. Ah, but it's not a genre I have been familiar with! The plot is that during the shooting of a reality television show featuring ancient runes, the cast and crew are attacked by great evils that lurk within! So, it is a movie about a television show gone awry...! A mix of dark comedy and thrill!

As I am the love interest in this scenario, I am kidnapped away into the depths of the ruins and tortured mercilessly for any information I may have! Carolina James herself must come to her lover's aid... ahhh, I do love stories like this!

[ There are some various notes written at the end of the first entry, namely that his trailer is quite nice, even though he hasn't gone inside yet. There's a drawing of a round bird with hearts. That sort of thing. ]

This is now the second day of shooting. Fufufu, our director is quite serious about this ♪ I say it is the second day, but we haven't actually stopped for more than fifteen minutes. I think I like this, though it would have been nice if they had asked me first, so that I could have made arrangements before arriving... ahh, being so wistful isn't proper, so I'll get into what we've accomplished today.

Today we filmed the climax of the movie. So early? It's not unheard of. It's not quite how theatre works, but sometimes you need to work out the strange kinks and bends in a production earlier than anticipated, so that's what we've done today. In the climax of our production, my character is shot in a non-vital area and risks himself to get Carolina James to safety, only to fall behind, into the hands of the enemy. Carolina cries out for him as the traps in the ruins slam shut, sealing him away from her. Her grief was so great, there was the bigger bonfire beneath her heart. Ufufu, I got to wear a wig, so I wonder if anyone would have recognized me?

It was only two takes for the main action, so I feel like I'm quite proud of my performance. Carolina's actress is quite new to things, so we were learning this side of the industry together. Apparently she was scouted for having the right tone of voice... it's important for her character to have a very iconic shout, and now that I've heard it many times during line reading, I can see why she was chosen.

Ah, I see the director on his way here... fufu, he looks so angry!

[ Continuing on the day is Wataru noting something called a "Director's Anger Level ☆" and it seems to be 3/4ths of the way full. ]

It is now that I find myself on the third day of filming. We've finished up the first quarter of the movie, and the director is quite frantic. I'm here for a day longer than he was told, but it's still not nearly long enough to produce a feature length film with the role I've been given. Naturally, I told him that he should not underestimate me! That this movie would succeed, no matter what! I think he may have smiled for the first time since I've arrived, but then he immediately told me to get back to work... ah, just when I thought I may have put my fingers into the cracks of his heart...

The rest of the day will be shooting battle scenes. I'm quite familiar with this, so I've already finished my cuts. In five minutes I will be whisked away yet again, and I don't know that I'll have time to finish this entry for the day, so I am stealing away what time I can in order to write this down.

I do wonder what is happening back there. Sometimes I find myself wondering what is happening everywhere. If I were still alive, would I have been offered a similar role to this? I don't think I would have. I think it would have been different, especially with my audition

[ That one is just ending there. ]

I would say it's the fourth day, but ahahaha... I think it might be the fifth? It is the final day of our part of the production, at least. After this, the film will be sent in for special effects and cutting. I have some voice recordings to do today—which is exciting! I have yet to do such a thing! I've been looking forwards to it since day one! To act without seeing with whom I'm speaking to! Without any atmosphere at all! It's quite a test to make it sound natural and convincing!

Right now, we are finishing up the resolution of the movie. In a couple of hours we will have the very first opening scenes to do, as well as a few takes that might need some extra material, then I am off for voice recording and promotional photos in costume.

This movie doesn't have a happy ending, though. It's not that all stories need them, but I've noticed that the things I've watched here have a running theme... they're exploitative, gruesome, and there isn't any heart in the work whatsoever. I do hope that I've managed to change a heart or two about the process while I've been here. Stories with unhappy endings have their place. I don't dislike them at all. There is beauty in tragedy.

Ahh, I don't know where I am going with my thoughts. I don't know where I would like them to go. The good news is that even though Carolina James accidentally kills her beloved off, there's a stinger at the end of the movie where his hand reaches up from the ground he'd been buried in... fufu, yes, he's returning in a sequel as a zombie!

[ It's kind of like Wataru realized he wrote something too real, then because he's writing in pen, he can't erase it and he did... intend this to be his real feelings so... he's changing the subject. ]

In the end, tales like this are a way of showing how you feel, asking someone else how they feel. Sure, it was a dark comedy with a tragic end, but I hope more than anything that anyone who watches it will turn to the person beside them and ask how they felt about it. Even if it is a passionately hated movie, I wish for that to happen.

[ There's a line break here and then the writing continues in a different colour. He's taken a break and has resumed. ]

I am in the middle of packing up my trailer! It's so lovely in here! This is my first time seeing it! [ ... ] Ahh, as much fun as I've had while being here, I can't wait to get back. I hope they've been feeding Phoebe.

It feels silly to end on that note. I enjoy disappearing acts, but I wish I could have picked when and where it must have happened. I had promised you many things and delivering them has been delayed until now.

[ Behind this one is a tucked piece of paper. It wasn't drastically ripped out or anything, but it definitely didn't belong. It isn't dated or anything but maybe it's obvious it's the first entry, the one he had originally mentioned. He probably left a fake journal in his room. Sorry Eichi. You don't get to experience it until he says so. ]

I wonder what sort of dream was left behind me, though it's not even something I had aimed for. I wonder if I had a name to start with. Surely if I had been given one, I would have remembered it. But I think that if that question could be answered, I wouldn't want to hear it. It would have been the first thing I discarded, even though I don't like leaving pieces of myself behind. I hold onto my name tightly, as if it's about to slip through my fingers.

It feels like that grip is a vice, never to be broken, when I see you so happy. Just to remember that your existence is blossoming into what you'd like it to be, it makes me feel better. Fufu, it's a bit selfish, but I have been this way for awhile now.

[ tl;dr He was homesick and seeing your happy face makes him feel better.

There's one last bit of writing before uh, Eichi is finally released from reading hell. ]

Ah! I've heard the final "Cut!" from the director! We had to rush back to finish up the scene before the heroine, Carolina James, accidentally kills my character. It's an emotionally charged scene where my character is on the verge of proposing to her while they're both in danger and trying to escape for their lives, but he doesn't get to say it before she chooses incorrectly when trying to spring them from a trap. Ahaha, my costume is so amazing, it's so covered in blood! The joke behind this scene is that Carolina James isn't a genius adventurer but an actress who was meant to be shooting a reality show, so of course she wouldn't be able to figure out the puzzles.

Apparently the film was corrupted, so it was done again. I don't mind, though I am looking forwards to returning. Ahh, I know I am being cast in the eventual sequel if this one does well, but I'd like my next job to be something different. Well, as we say...

Fin

[Wataru is a big dumb idiot and Eichi loves him SO MUCH. He just wishes he could have gotten this earlier so that he could return it with his own thoughts before Wataru had vanished.

It's going to take a bit before Wataru will get this exchange diary back. So Eichi can read it. So Eichi can just hold it in his hands for a time, and so Eichi can manage to get his own thoughts down.]

[ Fu fu fu... take your time Eichi, he's got some zzzz's to catch up on now that's done with (curse having a real human body I guess.........) ]

[ unprompted, eichi is sent several nasty hentai images of people in the same general position- on their knees, blindfolded, hands tied behind their back, and having their throat fucked while they have a toy inside of them. ]

[Tenn......

Eichi has thankfully learned this specific language of Tenn's. Never verbally ask for what you want. But damn does he know how to do it without a single word.]

Bordeaux: Are you asking if you can spend the night, my Tenn?~♪

Bordeaux: I'd prefer if these were pictures of you

tenn: wouldn't it be too hard to take pictures of myself like this?

Edited 2020-05-15 15:14 (UTC)

Bordeaux: Hmmm. Hard, but doable, fufufu~
Bordeaux: I'll just take getting to see you that way, though.

tenn: I'm on my way up.

Bordeaux: Fufufu, so am i

[That was a joke.

Eichi will meet Tenn at the elevator, grinning a little. He can't believe how Tenn is the one making booty calls, but he is NOT complaining.]

[ Eichi has turned him into a horrible beast. He's unlocked his inner thirst and indulged him and now he doesn't want to stop.

He flushes, at the wicked grin! ]

---Sh- shut up--

I haven't said anything!

[He is saying everything he needs to with his expressions, honestly. And he will keep wearing that cheeky grin as he offers Tenn an arm to lead him into the dorm.]

Oh... did you bring any 'toys', by the way?

...

N- no-

[ he is absolutely too mortified to remove them from his bedroom. ]

Fufufu, how troublesome. I suppose you will just have to go without, then.

[Eichi shrugs! Neglect is a form of play too, isn't it?]

I certainly don't have any, as you're the only toy I need.

[ ---d- disappointed shuffle... ]

[Eichi is going to wear an impish grin the whole time!!! Tenn is cute when he is pouting. He is EXTRA cute when he is pouting because he won't have a toy to shove inside of him. Eichi is endeared... and also aroused by the thought. Tenn has desires after all, he just keeps it hidden to the best of his ability.]

.....You'll bring them next time, won't you?

--I- I'll just-! Give me a moment, and-

[ he turns to head back downstairs!!! ]

W-....

[Oh, well there Tenn goes. Eichi will go after him a few steps.]

Should I wait here, or...?

--I- I sent those ones for a reason! It needs to have all the parts, so- Unless you want to do it in my room, then hold on a moment, and I'll--

[Flicks his tail!!! But he'll be good.]

... Alright. I'll wait here. Maybe... slip into something comfortable...?
