[The video turns on sometime in the morning, and the camera seems to be held up by unsteady hands. The video feed shifts, and shows off a familiar face; pale, black hair, a massive amount of eyeliner. She’s also wearing what appears to be a vest, with a blue light glowing from her chest. Moving the NV back, Death grins, showing off the Laser Tag gun in her hand, glowing the same color as the blue chest plate.]

Roxas and I decided to give his Christmas presents a try! I figured that since today is such a gorgeous day, it would be a shame to waste it in some coffee shop or some bar. Don’t you all agree?

[Roxas appears in the background, small and far back, holding the same gun as Death is, and wearing a vest with a glowing red chest plate. The gun glows red as well.]

We’ve been testing it out around Sector Four. And since we have so many of them, we’ve been doing teams! The Red Team and the Blue Team, and anyone who wants to come play can play! We’ll put you on a team and have you run around Sector Four all day.

[She pauses in thought, putting on her best gunslinger pose.]

Though maybe we should have different team names… The Red Rovers and The Blue Wombats? Oh! The Ripe Red Radishes, and The Babelicious Blue Bananas! Oh, we could do The Red Roses and The Blue Bonnets…

[While she’s talking, Roxas has been stealthily coming up behind her, a red dot aimed at her back plate, something that occasionally moves up and down on the camera unsteadily. Death is about to say more, when suddenly her chest plate starts flashing and it makes a little “Bloop Bloop Bloop” sound. Gasping, she turns around and looks at Roxas.]

I’m going to get you for that! [Roxas starts laughing, and then quickly scurries away, and Death turns back to the NV for a moment.]

We’re going to be down in Sector Four all day! Come on down and join a team, we’ll get you outfitted with a laser gun and vest as fast as we can!

[She winks at the camera and takes off running.]

I'm going to get you!

[ooc: The log is up here! Everyone who responds will be put on the red team or the blue team, and can play as long as they want in Sector 4!]

[The video clicks on. As usual, Eric's expression is sour. He looks like he's slept badly, and has been for a while.]

I won't deny I've been complaining. Why would I?

[He runs his hand over his hair, an exasperated gesture.]

You'd have to be insane to say I don't have a reason to. First, I find myself here. Then, I move in with my coworkers. Which, by the way, listening to people have sex isn't in the least bit erotic. It's merely annoying, especially when you're trying to sleep on a couch.

We haven't had enough clients or made enough money for me to get my own place. So, I'm a greeter now. So, I get to wander around an empty baseball field like an idiot. We haven't had anyone new since the last wave.

Now, the apartments, the main reason I took this damn job, still aren't rebuilt. So, now I get to scope out the field and STILL put up with my coworkers.

I say this with full knowledge that nobody gives a crap, by the way. I just thought maybe saying would help.

It doesn't.

[Clicks off.]
