video; on the dissapearance of an NPC...again

[lazyinlove]

[Unless you've met this kid in person, you've probably never seen him. He's not a video post kind of guy. But this is important, and it's hard to summarize in a text post. So here he is, the face to a name that's been around for 6 months now.

He's pale, maybe a little shaken. And for some reason, he's wearing a new coat.]

Uh...

Listen. I-

[He takes a breath, realizing that he's stuttering a bit, and tries again. No, really. It's important.]

If anyone here met Richard Lawson...he's gone. And I'm sure. I-

I saw it. He- I don't know. He disappeared. He just raved about us and then disappeared. Um. He used to be on the UE council, so he knew some stuff about them. And he told me that they're still out there and that-

[Stanley swallows, and glances away from the camera for a moment. It sucks, to watch someone disappear. Fade away. But he can't think about that yet. Right now, he has to pass the message along. So he looks back, right at the camera lens this time.]

He said we have to make sure they don't find us.

(OoC: Derp, forgot to give you guys the relevant link.)

Teenager, then. Better?

[lazyinlove]

You can't save people here.

[To jump back to the initial topic. Because what's it really matter if you think teenagers are young or not?]

[mathematician]

No. I don't think so.

[He's pretty sure he's included in that grouping.]

[lazyinlove]

it's not fair

[mathematician]

Life is predispositioned against "fair."

[lazyinlove]

no one used to die when I fucked up

[mathematician]

No one died because of you.

[lazyinlove]

whatever you want to call it then

[mathematician]

Bad luck.

[lazyinlove]

We changed this world. We brought the bomb here too. People love to say abstaining is a choice too so

I wish.

[mathematician]

Everything is a choice, and everything has repercussions. There's no way to go through a situation this heavily trip-wired without changing something. I really wish I had a way of sending you back to where you came from. I don't want this for anyone.

[lazyinlove]

can you try?

[mathematician]

I have. I have, I have.
