01 - Sfant lacas, tainic lacas [Video, backdated to last night]
[Oh hey, the video post is in an alleyway somewhere! ...Why is it in an alleyway somewhere? Well, perhaps we'll find out now!
[The owner of this comm holds it out at arms-length and smiles. He's young, maybe twelve or thirteen, and looks incredibly happy. He's holding something in his other hand, but it's not shown on-screen just yet.There's a really pretty girl's voice singing Silent Night in the background.]
Sorella mia! I got this thing to work!
[He turns around and the camera focuses on a similarly silver-haired girl who could be his identical twin if not for the whole "being female" bit. She gives a little wave, then continues singing.]
Well, whoever's on this network, Merry Christmas! It is Christmas here, after all. Wherever here is. It looks kind of like America, doesn't it?
Anyway. We just got here, but...
[The girl stops singing for a moment and speaks up]
The people here aren't very nice, you know! Fratello mia and I were walking around, and a man bumped into me without saying anything at all.
[She pouts a little and tightens her grip on the chest strap something large and cloth-wrapped on her back, and the boy resumes speaking.]
He was fighting with someone else back here... they were arguing and arguing... and we thought that nobody should be fighting on Christmas! So...
[The girl resumes singing Silent Night as the camera pans down to show that the boy is holding a bloodied battlexe and that the remains of two corpses are littered across the floor between the two children. One of those bodies, it so happens, is in a rather iconic red and white suit. The boy smiles at the camera before it clicks off, and offers a few last words.]
So if you'd all be a little less rude than them... where are we, exactly?
