05. [Video]

[yetsleeping]

[...judging from the video, whoever is filming is in Dismas. You can tell from the darkness. You can also tell that whoever is filming is either drunk or drugged, because the camera is wavering. Then. It stops.]

I don't know where I am. Does anyone know where the... stairs are?

[It's Priscilla and she's definitely not sounding quite normal.

Comments

[ voice | Is it bad that drunk!Priscilla is an extremely amusing image to me? xD; ]

[lonestray]

It seems like you're in Dismas. Nowhere else is that dark.

[A pause.]

...Are you all right?

[Video | ...yes!]

[yetsleeping]

It was only water!

But I can't find the steps.

Re: [Video | ^^;;;]

[lonestray]

[A sigh.]

Considering the kind of things that live in that water, I highly doubt that it's safe to drink.

I hope you're not in the damn tunnels...it'll be practically impossible to find you...

[He sounds irritable, as now that he's seen this post, he can't just leave her to her own devices. As much as he thinks it'd be easier to. Damn conscience.]

[Video]

[yetsleeping]

I'm so thirsty, though.

[The camera shifts a bit, and there's a flash of her hand, which appears to be holding a glass of some sort, though the top is shattered and... arguably splattered with a bit of blood.]

When I was little girl, my daddy always told me not to take anything from strangers. It's just that I was so thirsty. And it was just water.

[he sounds amused]

What the hell did you do?

Video

[yetsleeping]

[Well, now she looks cross. And drunk.]

I didn't do anything! I lost the steps.

voice

[clawofsin]

[and now he sounds annoyed]

Turn that video off! Dammit!

Stairs don't go anywhere, you know. You could find them if you weren't so hammered.

[Video]

[yetsleeping]

[She stares at the camera, and doesn't turn the video off.]

No one hammered me. Why are you so strange?

a-also voice

[likethebeast]

Ah... hello? Are you okay? You don't sound... well...

Have long have you been lost, can you remember?

[Video]

[yetsleeping]

-half-naked! Not even a little bit, I told you it's a standard issue uniform! I--

[Short pause]

Oh, you're not Senji.

[voice]

[likethebeast]

[a pause of confusion. and awkwardness.]

Um! No, I'm not. I think you must've hit a button by mistake!

...is there some way I can help you? You aren't hurt or anything, are you?

[voice]

[yetsleeping]

[It's been some hours, and she sighs.]

I'm not hurt. And as soon as I got outside, the effects went away, but I think someone must have put something in my drink.

[voice]

[smoke_koan]

Where did you get that water?

[voice]

[yetsleeping]

[And here she pauses out of sheer mortification.]

From a man in a bar.

[Voice]

[shinra_finest]

[There is a bit of a pointed silence and then the voice comes, blunt and blank, seemingly talking to someone else and not the girl.]

I hate to say I told you so, but-- I told you so.

She is missing a few screws! [There is a finger she can't see pointing at his own temple and moving in circular motion as if passing his idea better.] And she is the one givin' us orders. [:|]

[Voice]

[i_love_squats]

[There's an almost audible sound of him rolling his eyes. He never did like the "I told you so" thing, mostly because he got it often enough and it wounded his pride.] Maybe we should go find and help her rather than argue here about it?

[Voice]

[shinra_finest]

Fine, fine. [Gringringrin.

Oh yes, you will be hearing about this again.] So... [And his attention is back to the device.] Can't see anythin' I recognize.

Heeeeeeeey-- Still with us? If you ever were?

[Voice]

[yetsleeping]

[...well it's been a while. Priscilla makes a huffy noise.]

My screws are fine. ...Oh, I'm so embarrassed!

[You can practically hear her internet headdesking.]
