badfic_manor | Teru Mikami ~18~ Survival Strategy [Accidental Video -> Video]

[This recording starts completely unintentionally. Here is Mikami's room. Anybody who ever had the pleasure of seeing this before knows it should be the picture of order and ... well, OCD. Right now? It's not.
Which very clearly is not Mikami's fault as there's a little curious Pikachu climbing around in Mikami's paperwork.
Behind it? A very exasperated prosecutor. Exasperated enough for it to be actually noticable. His paradise of order had been touched. This is the apocalypse!]

Will you just stop this? It's not for playing! Can't you... get out or something?

[And this is Mikami trying to communicate with his pokemon, trying to pick it up even. But Pikachu's faster, escapes his arms and positions itself on his bad, crincling the formerly flawless sheets. Mikami sighs]

Fine, stay there. I mean... stay, do you understand?

[He doubts it, but it was worth a try. Then his look wanders to the blackberry. He clears his throat]

Ah, I apologize, I didn't notice this was on. But I meant to ask something anyway.

What has become of the welcome committee? How many members are still here and active? I think we should take care of actualizing the welcome packet as well.

[Mikami pauses for a moment. This was awkward]

... and how do you get these... ah, animals to listen to you?

The trouble of parents everywhere, I'm afraid. These creatures seem more like children than pets.

*they were actually quite intelligent, despite looking like animals. He couldn't understand them in words, so much, but the coherency of their thoughts are something he normally only gets from humans.

Charles crouches to gather up a set of papers* So how long have you been here, if you don't mind my asking?

[Mikami gets to work again as well while they talk, relieved to have some help. He isn't very used to dealing with disorder, it usually just doesn't happen in his room.]

I arrived on the 27th of December in last year.

[Saying it makes him realize just how long it had already been.]

You've only arrived recently, if I'm not mistaken?

Yes, a couple weeks ago. I'm still getting used to the idea, to be honest.

*he pauses, a worried frown crossing his face*

Have you been home at all since you arrived here?

No, not once.

[Mikami sighed slightly.]

I've seen people leave and occasionally return, but I, myself, was never among them.

I'm sorry. There must be people back home that you miss dearly.

*he couldn't imagine being away that long, from Raven if no one else, but if what everyone says is any indication... he should probably prepare himself for that now*

[Mikami shakes his head]

No, actually not.

[It's not that at all. There is Kiyomi Takada, the only person he'd consider a friend, but it doesn't go as far as missing her. But what is important...]

The only thing I miss is my work.

[And how he does so. As much as other people would miss their loved once]

*he watches him thoughtfuly*

I would apologize, but you appear content with that right now. I can relate, to an extent.

*he sets the stack of papers on Mikami’s desk and bends to pick up some books that escaped Mikami’s first sweep*

I am. My work is the purpose of my life, you could say.

[Mikami briefly flips through the collected papers and puts them roughly into order again so that properly sorting them would not take ages when he did]
