[Someone’s fumbled the NV. There are flashes of sky, followed by the sound of the poor little machine hitting the ground, and then a nice blurry close up of grass.]

CRAP! I dropped it! Oh no! Please don’t be broken! That’s the last thing I need!

[A few dizzy seconds of blurred colors and fumbling noises later, and a teenage boy is looking

[ woah, nobody told her there were polar bears here. She's never seen one!! Maybe she could cut one up -- oh wait, something else is happening. ]

-- did you get him, amigo?

[ video ]

[buttwombs]

I got away from him!

[ video ]

[murasamia]

Huh, really? You didn't fight him? Weak!

[buttwombs]

Huh? I didn't want to fight him! He was bigger than me anyway!

[murasamia]

Size doesn't matter! I've cut up lots and lots of guys way bigger than me for doing that kind of thing, you know!

[ pause... ]

But I guess running might be okay if you can't fight, amigo. Even if it's really weak.

[buttwombs]

I can fight!

Just... not very well!

[murasamia]

Then that's super weak!!

[buttwombs]

HEY! You're really mean! I'm scared enough as it is!

[murasamia]

Not mean, just honest, amigo! You gotta stick up for yourself in the big city! [ she grins harmlessly. ] Anyway, if you ran away, there's no point in still being scared.

[buttwombs]

It's not him I'm scared of! I just dropped into a foreign country out of nowhere!

[murasamia]

Oh, yeah. It's not that scary, amigo! It's only dangerous at night!

[buttwombs]

At night?! What happens at night?

[murasamia]

Monsters come out at night!

[buttwombs]

Monsters?!

There's no such thing as a monster!

[murasamia]

I know! Canada's really weird, amigo!

[buttwombs]

Even in Canada there shouldn't be monsters! I don't think...?
