[Do you guys enjoy these things turning on randomly? Well, have another feed.

It turns on but the sight is rather dark, to dark to figure out. There's a small groan for a moment and the screen turns, and it appears that the phone is on its side. Its in an alley somewhere, but that's not the weird part.

Its the guy covered in blood that's bracing himself against the wall. He's in the corner of the screen, struggling it seems, wherever it is. It looks like he's covered in snow too, but the red is sticking out because of it. Holding his abdomen, there's a grimace as he walks past the phone. LUCKY HIM. What's life done to screw him over now? ]

What the hell's... [Ready for this? One step, two steps... Three steps... Floor.

The feed cuts out.]

[LUCKILY

Godo is a firefighter, which meant EMT training. When he finds the guy on the ground, he lightly smacks his face a few times.

Okay, that wasn't really EMT training.]

Still alive there?

[The slapping? If Nate was awake, he would've punched out of instinct--fortunately, its just a small groan as he looks to the side, eyes shut in pain. Unconscious, conscious? A little bit of both.]

Ugh...

Do you need help?

[Okay, that was step 1 of EMT training. He pulls out a cigarette in the meantime and sticks it in his mouth but he doesn't light it yet.]

What kind of question... is that? [Blood everywhere, wounds, all of this stuff? That's a yes.]

If you answer no, I'm legally obligated to follow your wishes. Yes or no?

Ye-- yes, I'd like help! [He's struggling at this point, a gasp leaving him as he moves against the wall.]

What the hell's going on anyway?

Right, right.

[He pulls out a first aid kit and starts the process.]

If I answer that now, you'll probably think I'm delusional.

[He'll just stare at the other, trying to figure it out.]

I've been through things you wouldn't even believe. Try me at delusional.

Fine, you're here to fight things called Shadows. Well, once you get a little better, of course.

And those are...? [What sort of nefarious gang of criminals does he have to fight now, why is he here to fight them, and will they be worse than than guys in kevlar suits and helmets? Please say no.]

Who brought me here to fight them? I don't remember signing up for anything like that.

They're kind of like spirits. It's the best I can describe them. Thankfully, bullets work against them.

As for who, beats me.

Spirits-- so the rules of 'shoot it' still apply here then, yeah?

There's no one here named Lazarevic by the way, is there?

Yeah.

That sounds like the name of an asshole. Never heard of him.

That's-- good. I'll take that.

Ah, even better. And he is! If you meet a creepy bald Russian guy with that name, just pretend you never spoke to him.

I'm a fireman. I can't do that.

Why? He's not the kind of guy to spare you just because of what you do...

It's part of the job. Besides, I've dealt with worse than a single human.

[A sigh.] Can't say I warned you then, man. What's your name?

I'm Nate.
