[1 Pluck || Video]

[petalpluck]

[It's almost time for sundown when the video feed turns on, world flipping and rotating as the camera falls out of the holder's hand, landing on the grass with the latest Newcomer laying down beside it on his front.

For the first minute, nothing happens. Perhaps the man had gone unnoticed by the Welcomers?

The nearby hand twitches as the man groans in pain, still lost in the clutches of unconsciousness.

Garry's face is hidden from blades of grass and long, lilac bangs. From the view, the injuries he has are hidden. In fact, it almost looks like Garry is sleeping...]

Comments

[countsrabbits]

Yep! They'll come out and chase you when it gets dark, so you should definitely get inside before then.

[petalpluck]

[At that, Garry really tries to force himself up, gritting his teeth and trying to ignore the pain in his body that worsens the more he exerts himself.

At least, when he sits up, he's noticed by one of the Greeters. But the man can barely keep himself steady as the worker tries to assess his damage.]

[countsrabbits]

[And Pino will sit here providing the music while they work! Until they cut the feed, at least.]

[petalpluck]

[Sooner or later the feed will cut once Pino would be able to hear the wails of an ambulance in the distance; a Greeter would find Garry's NV and shut it off before sliding it into Garry's coat.]

[countsrabbits]

[And when he finally gets himself together later long enough to read his NV, he'll see one last text from her:]

bye bye! :D

[petalpluck]

[And a few days later, when Garry actually checks his messages after moving into his apartment--]

Hello?

[countsrabbits]

Hello!! Are you okay now? :D?

[petalpluck]

Ah, yes, I do feel much better, thank you. :)

[countsrabbits]

Oh good! Did you find the apartment building yet?

[petalpluck]

Yes. It's small, but lovely. Do you live in one too?

[countsrabbits]

Nope! I live with Papa in an apartment somewhere else! But it's pretty nice too. You might be happy there.

[petalpluck]

[Oh good, she has someone to look out for her.]

It's only temporary, I'm told. :(

I'll do my best to settle in.

[countsrabbits]

It doesn't have to be!

[She turns on the video again, after seeing this message. It's hard to write texts on a stuffed rabbit, okay.]

You can stay there as long as you pay them!

[petalpluck]

[He blinks at the video, but smiles either way.]

A-ah, we'll see about that.

[Medical bills. :c]

[countsrabbits]

It's okay, there are lots of places that need people to work there. What are you good at?

[petalpluck]

I enjoy art and fashion as hobbies.

[Don't judge him tiny child. :U]

[countsrabbits]

[She judges nothing!]

That's great! You could sell clothes somewhere!

[petalpluck]

... Like, in retail?

[How plebeian. :U]

[countsrabbits]

Mmhmm!

[Hey, it's a job bro.]

[petalpluck]

I'll have to look for openings.

... Might I ask; how long have you been here?

[countsrabbits]

[Without a second's hesitation:]

One hundred and one weeks, seven hundred and eight days, sixteen thousand nine hundred and ninety two hours, one million nineteen thousand five hundred and twenty minutes!
