[The view is fumbling as soon as it starts, but a thumb's on half of the lens, so there wouldn't be much to see anyhow. Even so...]

Let - me - see!

[Each word is accompanied by a yank, and easily, the NV is hoisted into the air. Staring at the camera is a little... something, not very pleasant. It's bug-eyed, and has no mouth, but it must be the one who says,] Ha! Got it! Like you know how to work this piece of junk, Crona.

[From off camera - and now that you mention it, isn't that the top of someone's head below the view of the shrill black thing? - come very nervous words: ] But that person said it was mine... and I have to use it to ask— [Could this perhaps be the owner of that thumb? The black thing waving around the NV now hasn't any real hands to speak of - just large white fists, or that's what it seems like.]

Never mind that! What's yours is mine, right? Including your dinner if you don't shut up!

[The creature pauses, and then rubs its head with one of its fists.]

Except, uh... I don't know where to get dinner around here. That's where you come in, Canada people. Ha! Who ever heard of a place called Canada, anyway? Stuuupid. Look, is there or isn't there somewhere to get some grub around here? Crona doesn't have any money, so something like that's out! Let me know, all right? Or we'll have to end up dying of hunger right on your pretty lawn!

What? No! I can't die on someone's lawn! [Actual hands are up in the air, now, batting at the thing.] Laying on grass is too itchy! I'll get ants in my clothes! Besides, outside is too growling too much, I don't like it when the outside growls!

[The little black thing cackles - or something close to it? - and holds the NV further aloft.]

Better hurry, this thing might go quick! Can't wait to hear from you, foody people! Help a little fella like me out, all right?

[But, right before it cuts, and with desperation - ] Ragnarok! Ragnarok, wait, please ask about Lady Medu—

theorizes

[The NV does not show a person. Instead, he sends out a text. Because Skyping is for people who have achieved the first three tiers of friendship.

He's also rather freaked out by the Darkness and doesn't particularly want to show it on video feed, so he's just going to sit in his new starter apartment and pretend everything is perfectly normal and Leonard is going to come get him, thank you very much.]

I have been told by one [1] so-called expert in the field that I have been brought to an alternate dimension. As this is both ridiculous and impossible as I have not discovered it yet, I am waiting for an explanation that is both reasonable and able to be proven.

Until then, I will be waiting within this house of the American past-time, attempting to find a train station to return me to Pasadena.

Should they be within this "alternate dimension Canada", I require the presence of one [1] Leonard Hofstadter, provided he is not off wasting his time entertaining the company of two [2] scientists by the names of Rajesh Koothrappali and Howard Wolowitz or one [1] Cheesecake Factory waitress that lacks the education to know this is a ridiculous hallucination by the name of Penny.

By the terms of our friendship agreements, they need to be within this baseball diamond.

Now.

[And then, just as this text is sent out, another one follows it, from the same feed number.]

Amy, if you can read this, call me. Please.

I need to speak with you immediately.

News

- There is a brief article about the Church of Jonova pulling back funding from some of its satellite charity programs of food distribution and shelter in the 9th and 10th sectors, focusing their work within the main Sector 6 Cathedral. “We hate to have to cut these from our good deeds, but it’s simply a matter of lacking funding and volunteers to continue Jonova’s good works. We’ve been losing tithing followers ever since our three prophets abandoned us, and people began to lose faith, calling the newcomers false prophets. Now we are in a minor financial crisis, but we know it’s always darkest before the dawn. Please pray for a revival...or a miracle.”

- Hawthorne University Theatre Arts Summer Program is holding auditions this weekend for Full Tuition Scholarships. We are looking for five ‘Triple Threat Talents’ to welcome into our company! You will be taking full time credit hours, and will star in our 2 summer student directed productions. Please prepare a 1 minute monologue, 32 bars of music, and come prepared to learn an intermediate-level choreography routine. Auditions will be held in the campus black box theatre this Friday at 2pm.

[Alan is beginning to feel the effects of his given power. While he doesn't know entirely what's going on, he suspects something isn't right. Granted, he had a similar encounter back in Bright Falls- as the Darkness was attracted to him- the sensations he's getting now are far worse.]

Lately, there's this uneasy feeling in the back of my head like something is always near when night draws. I know that those Dark creatures are out there waiting, but it's as though I can sense them rising from their hiding place. I've looked in the direction of where I swear they're coming from, but there's never anything. And it's always too soon for their arrival.

And I think I've even heard their voices in my head a couple times. The sounds they make are never clear; it's always the occasional grunt or low guttural growl. I've found myself needing more Aspirin every day too; the headaches generally occur after I get that feeling and lately, it's become more frequent.

[He pauses. Trying to stop sounding so dramatic and changes his voice to an upbeat, cheery tone. But the worry never leaves his voice.]

Someone please tell me this is a common nuisance for everyone.
