First Inning [Accidental Video]

May 31, 2011 19:13

H-hey, DAMN YOU! Get BACK here!

[The tablet appears to have been dropped since the voice can only be heard and the camera shows the 'sky'. If it could be called that. There's sounds of running and a low growl.]

Dammit! [A pause.]

Where am I? Is this a new part of Tartarus? What the HELL is going on?!

Not Tartarus. Similar mythology. You're in the Underworld.

[Pause.] Does your mouth taste like metal?

[Video] tereteindahouse May 31 2011, 23:59:42 UTC

Whaaaat?

[There's the sound of footsteps before Junpei picks up the tablet, looking at in confusion. What the hell?]

Uuuuuh, no. Why would my mouth taste like metal?

It was a burial custom. Put silver in the mouths of the dead to pay their passage across the river. The ferryman never waits for payment.

[She pauses, then offers in a tone that suggests it's meant to be reassuring,] Most of us aren't actually dead. It's very confusing.

Oh. That's good. [A nervous chuckle as he scratches the back of his head.] I don't much like the thought of being dead. Soooo.... Will that guy come back or what?

[Video] ofunquietwater June 1 2011, 01:14:33 UTC

Not for you. He'll be back to bring more prisoners.

[Another pause.] I haven't been able to determine a pattern.

[Video] tereteindahouse June 1 2011, 01:18:32 UTC

W-wait, I'm a prisoner? That's not right! And what sort of pattern are ya talkin about?

[Video] ofunquietwater June 1 2011, 01:22:29 UTC

No. It's not right. We're being kept by people who aren't right. Gods don't follow human moral custom.

[She frowns slightly, perplexed.] A pattern to the ferry's trips. I can't find one. The fluctuations are unpredictable.

[Video] tereteindahouse June 1 2011, 01:31:06 UTC

Maybe it just comes when it wants?

[Video] ofunquietwater June 1 2011, 01:36:35 UTC

Could be random. Or on a wide interval. Further observation is required to draw a satisfactory conclusion.

[Beat.] I'm River.

[Video] tereteindahouse June 1 2011, 01:38:57 UTC

[He grins because... yes, pretty girl!] Nice to meet ya, River. You can call me Junpei. Have you been down here long?

[Video] ofunquietwater June 1 2011, 01:43:25 UTC

Ni hao, Junpei.

[She cants her head slightly, expression remaining one of wide-eyed solemnity.] Approximately one month. It's hard to be exact.

...There are many who have been here longer.

[Video] tereteindahouse June 1 2011, 01:47:07 UTC

[Did she just speak Chinese at him.]

Uh. Ni hao right back at you. So what's this place like? I mean, besides the weird decorating?

[Not that Tartarus looked much better.]

[Video] ofunquietwater June 1 2011, 01:51:10 UTC

[Yep. Welcome to meeting crazy future people, Junpei.]

Dangerous. It likes to get inside our heads. Pull us apart at the seams. There's nowhere safe to hide.

[Video] tereteindahouse June 1 2011, 01:56:27 UTC

[He looks at her with wide yes.] That... That sounds painful.

[Video] ofunquietwater June 1 2011, 01:59:46 UTC

Yes. The bits don't always fit together after.

[Video] tereteindahouse June 1 2011, 02:05:55 UTC

So the basic message I seem to be getting here is that it's not such a fun place. [He exhales, pouting slightly.] Man. So where're you from?
