scarlet
i repeatedly tap the door of the air car as we fly through the sky in the direction of the closest class i fracture, my attention solely focused on the video in front of me, with my ear buds present in both of my ears. but no matter how much i tap, i cant get rid of this uncomfortable feeling that i get from seeing my image plastered across the video.
[hello, folks! today we have with us some very interesting news!]
the commentators voice is that of a typical video streamer on the internet intense, jolly beyond reason, and interesting enough to hold peoples attention. they have a webcam showing over the video, covering most of it up as its paused, but even at this point, i can still see my ears poking out above the webcam. which im pretty sure was done like that on purpose.
[weve received word of a brand new guardian to this demonic assault, originating in the main headquarters of ciphers company, silver works. but thats not all! theyve already become a bit of a hero, saving the folks in the building many times over and fighting off the demon scourge!]
at this point in the video, the webcam vanishes entirely, revealing the frozen image of me in midair with my blood claws outstretched ready to strike at a demon hound.
[we bring to you, the scarlet wolf!!!] my mouth drops open at that unoriginal name [shes the new star of the silver association, and a hero to many of the people in silver works! the hero managed to take down who knows how many demons-] he pauses as the image frozen on the screen that i realize isnt actually a video yet changes to show various other images like a slideshow, each of me fighting different demons until it pauses again on the demon knight [-and even a single demon knight on her very first day as a guardian!]
i cant help but grimace as the video and commentator rub on my nerves in the wrong way.
the frozen image showing the demon knight at around the time i enter the room unfreezes and begins to play through the whole fight as a video.
[while most would have run, she stood her ground and leapt into the fray to save the people!] the man says, getting rather enthusiastic in his entirely inaccurate assumptions [she led the officers and researchers in battle, took down the demon knight, and even gave a sacrifice to do it! just like the best heroes in the city!]
my grimace turns into a frown at that last line.
not really sure why there were so many there that did.
just gotta remember the credits. the beautiful credits.
i glance at the front of the vehicle thats driving itself before looking out the window at the buildings simply flying by, very few of which are actually undergoing a fracture right now. fortunately.
after looking out the window for a few minutes, i turn my attention back to the video to read the comments. only to immediately regret it.
johny1234 [shes so young!]
darkshadow27 [thereve been younger guardians before. im pretty sure golden heart is only fifteen years old, so a young college student isnt really that surprising.]johny1234 [really? she still looks young enough to be my daughter!]
docar15 [why do all of the guardians look so beautiful or handsome? what, is there some sort of cutoff in looks for someone to be offered a contract? are the spirits biased?]
rainbowninja87 [not all of them are top tier in looks. i know of a couple who i wont name that only look about average.]savageswan42 [what about redacted? hes rather ugly.]galacticgiraffe7 [savage, thats just rude.]
stellarseahorse [ awwww!! shes so cute! and i want to touch her ears!!!]
enchantedemu11 [agreed.]stealthpenguin42 [so im not the only one?]
frosty13 [she doesnt look like shes used to fighting. but i have to say, her ears look really soft.]
electriclioness22 [its always nice to see new guardians ]
mysticphoenix33 [i wonder why shes actually fighting? because i doubt its purely to save people. she doesnt really look like the type. she scowls too much for that.]
luminousllama23 [i bet shes fighting for the exp. i would do the same if i were in her position.]
i frown after reading some of the comments.
this is why i dont have social media.
