[Week 19, Day 6] [video]
[This video is actually unintentional: Timothy accidentally bumped the 'record' button as he set it down on the steps in the courtyard of casa de Exorcist. Then he hops down the last couple steps and picks up a stick before squatting down far enough to start drawing in the dirt. He draws a tic-tac-toe board, then marks an X, and he waits a moment before marking an O in another box. This continues a few times, with longer pauses before the Os, until the first game ends in a tie. Then he draws a second board and starts doing the same, but he starts talking as he does it.
What he's saying is odd, though. It sounds like he's talking to someone else, with the appropriate pauses for a conversation, yet there is nobody else on the screen and no other voices are heard. He never looks up from his game, either. ]
Yeah, I know, they're all off doing their own stuff. ... I know, I know! I wanna go help 'em and be a big damn hero too, but they didn't even tell me they were gonna go help that guy! And everyone's upset about everyone else getting attacked 'n taken away, and they won't even listen to my ideas about what to do!
[This pause lasts a bit longer, as the game has finished. It's another tie. Timothy draws another board and starts again.
In the background, a single demon chicken perches on a roof, watching Timothy intently..]
If they take too long to ask, then I'll just go 'n be the hero anyway. It worked before, remember?
[Another long pause. This time Timothy's hand stops moving and he actually looks up, and his gaze would meet the eyes of someone of they were standing right in front of him. But there's nobody there, it's all empty space.
And suddenly there are three chickens on the roof, and two more in a nearby tree.]
What do YOU think we should do, then?
[Another pause, and suddenly he scowls before scribbling out the game of tic-tac-toe. O would have won that game, if he had placed the mark there.]
I'm not just gonna leave it for the others! It's not like being a kid is gonna keep me safe from those nutjobs, they're gonna see I ain't got a mark and that'll be it! I've at least got you to help me if things get bad, so I'm better off than most people here.
[There are now ten chickens spaced out between the roof and the tree, and they're starting to cluck menacingly in Timothy's general direction. This is the point where Timothy finally realizes that he's not alone, and he turns his head to look at the chickens.
Suddenly the chickens swoop down off of their perches, screeching wildly as they aim to attack Timothy. In response Timothy screams a very unmanly scream and he jumps up and bolts for the safety of indoors, leaving his Hitomi behind. His screams can be heard off-screen as he dives for safety.]
Get off me you damn birds! AUGH! SHOO!
[Then there is a good ten minutes of feed of an open courtyard before the recording times out.]
((OOC: replies will be ICly delayed to when he thinks to go back to the courtyard to get his Hitomi.))
