Week 17, Day 1 [ accidental video ]
[The feed comes on at an odd angle, as if the Hitomi was turned on from having fallen awkwardly, perhaps from a pocket. The lower half of Ed's torso is all that is visible of him, but that is quite literally overshadowed by a...very unusual sight. There is a very large stone obelisk in the shape of a human hand, and from the edge of the "fingers" is hanging a man. Upside down.
Those that are familiar with the area might realize that this is one of the trading routes where the bandits mentioned in the handbills have been attacking. And now Ed's voice comes into the feed, and though his face isn't visible, he sounds very smug.]
Not so easy a target after all, huh? Next time you'll think twice before trying to rob a guy who happens to be [shorter] younger than you!
[There are some incoherent noises as the trapped man squirms around, trying to pull himself free.]
I'm sorry, alright? You got your shit back, let me go! Put me down already!
[Ed, for his part, sounds very affectedly put-out.]
Aww, but we're having so much fun hanging out, aren't we?
C'mon, you gotta let me go. You're just a little shrimp, this is embarrassing!
[Those who know Ed will see that this bandit just made the worst mistake possible in pleading his case:]
Who are you calling a half-pint midget beansprout?!?!
[There's a flash of light, and suddenly the man is several more feet in the air as the obelisk's height is increased. The feed cuts out as Ed walks away from the scene and the Hitomi rematerializes in Ed's pocket.]
