Game 001 - Video

[craaazyisland]

[Have a pale, slightly sick-looking teenage boy with bright red hair, staring with confusion at the camera. It looks like he's hiding not far from the baseball field, tucked into an alley. He seems to be fiddling with the device in his hands, mostly unfamiliar with the technology... though thankfully he seems to have a knack for it, so it only takes a few seconds for him to figure out what's going on.

He looks around, then sighs. Then he speaks into the camera uneasily.]

Okay... I give up.

[A pause.]

Uncle. You got me. Very funny...

[Almost as though he's waiting for something. Then he frowns, increasingly unpleasantly. There is a rumble in his throat, and he clears it loudly.]

Look, I'm not stupid. This isn't Antarctica. You brought me here, and I know you assholes have something else up your sleeves. Another level of your stupid-ass game.

I'm ready. So just cut the crap and tell me what it is, okay?

Zombies? Monsters? Giant goddamn plants? Your freaky mutant dad?

[That one especially makes him scowl, and now he's openly yelling.]

Come on, cowards! I'm gonna get you just like your brother, Ashford, you stupid bitch! You hear me?!

When I find you, if you hurt her, I'm gonna put you back to sleep! Only this time, you're not gonna wake up again, you goddamn freak!

[He breaks up coughing, a pathetic sound, covering his mouth with his arm as he staggers. Then he wobbles back to his feet and glares at the camera, motioning his hand in a gesture of challenge.]

You want me? Come get me! I'm ready for you this time!

[Aaaand click. What a pleasant young man!]

Is that supposed to be trying to make me feel better?

[inthejunk]

Uh...no. It's just how things are. There's not really an upside to this situation, to tell you the truth.

[craaazyisland]

Yeah. Starting to pick up on that.

[inthejunk]

The best thing to do is try not to die and wait it out I guess. People get sent away eventually.

[craaazyisland]

[He sighs tremendously, muttering under his breath.]

Great. Like that'll be any better for me.

[inthejunk]

You came from somewhere you're not in a hurry to get back to?

[craaazyisland]

That's the understatement of the year.

[inthejunk]

Huh. Bummer.

[craaazyisland]

Yeah. Bummer.

[Now that Steve's proved himself the most pleasant person in the whole wide port...]

Who are you anyway?

[inthejunk]

Hanamura Yosuke.

[That's all the information he'll put forward without more conversation, dude. You don't seem sketchy, but you are possibly crazy. 'Cause a lot of people here are crazy, you know?]
