[ When the camera flips on, there is not much for it to regard. The ceiling is exposed, sloped above. The sound of soft breathing, of rustling sheets. After a moment, there is shifting. The tablet has a small hand flopped over it, obscuring much of the picture with small fingers half-curled in the comfort of sleep

[ He gives Bethany’s hand a reassuring squeeze, and then shifts to resume pulling them across the stretching expanse of their back yard. Funny, it never seems this large when they’re playing during the day... Though young Carver has another idea as he sticks his nose in the air, an indignant frown on his lips at his brother’s teasing. Suddenly, he takes the lead and bravely, blindly, storms across the remaining bit of yard separating them from the outhouse, pulling his siblings behind him by their daisy-chain linked hands. ]
O-Ouch, Carver, stop pulling! You’re hurting my wrist! [Bethany winces, trying to keep up with her suddenly gung-ho twin, while Garrett is quick to keep up, giving Carver a frown as Bethany winces. Still, not about to be outdone he is quick to keep up with Carver, even falling into step alongside him as they drag poor Bethany along between them.
When they finally reach the out house, Garrett brings the procession to a halt.]
I’m the oldest, so I’ll make sure it’s safe. [ This is said with a dirty look shot towards Carver, and he stalks forward, wrenching the outhouse door open and grimacing as he holds his stick at the ready.
It is notably empty, and stinky.
Straightening, Garrett turns and looks towards his siblings, nodding in satisfaction that he has deemed it safe. ] Go ahead Bethany, we’ll be right here. I’ll patrol the perimeter.
[ Meaning he’ll cautiously begin to walk around the out house. You know, just to make sure nothing can get Bethany from behind it while she’s in there! ]

Or if the sköll had been kind enough to leave any of him behind. But the only result was the continued, unsettling absence of the elder Hawke. Behind the outhouse was void of any sign of the boy-
-simply because Garrett is grinning to himself as he creeps around the other side. Behind his siblings now, Garrett leaps towards Carver and Bethany, howling like a wolf as he does. ]
AWOOOooooOOOO I am the sköll come to feast on your tasty flesh and chew on your bones! [ Bethany screams shrilly and Carver nearly jumps out of his skin, letting out a loud yelp. Garrett dissolves into laughter then, despite himself. ]
You should have seen your faces!

[Trying to get their attention so she's talking pretty loud] HEY, YOU, don't go to sleep yet, I have a message... from the future.

[ The overprotective brother snaps his hands out to take the tablet away from Carver, ignoring the weird woman on the screen. Afraid, but not about to admit it for a second when his siblings might well be in danger! ]

[ He glances towards the tablet, and scowls. ] Be quiet demon! [ They certainly wouldn't want to wake Bethany up, either. So everything is said in a hushed, hissed whisper. ]
If you won't get rid of it, I will!

Stop it Garrett, you need to hear this!
When you get older, you are going to get the urge to grow facial hair. And it's going to look like some lady's unshaven vagina, but on your face. Do you know what a vagina is? Cuz you look like you're five, so maybe you don't... ANYWAY, don't grow a beard.
