01 Utensils are better than nothing [Video/Action]

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

[Looks like whoever's posting accidently pressed the ‘record’ button while searching for the cell phone light. Unfortunately, the cell phone’s screen scarcely acts as one in the dark room. The feeble illumination passes over the ground as the person that controls it moves around a humble apartment. The floor turns from carpet to spotted tile, but these dark spots are too irregular, too blurred, to be any purposeful design. The screen follows these until they merge and stream into a pool.

And then the body of a college-aged student is revealed, one eye still open and unfocused, but the camera doesn’t last there for long. The person holding the phone pulls out the knife that is fully lodged to the tip of its handle in his left eye. It takes an extra tug to remove it. The light of the cell phone moves again towards a wall, and a bloody hand—delicate and pale where bodily fluids do not taint it—flips a light switch on. The camera immediately points to the body. After a second the room lights turn off; the corpse appears the same as ever.

The lights turn back on.

And then off.

And then on.

Off.

On.

Off.

On.

Off.]

[Hey, awesome! Murder!]

I don't think it's going to be much of a light show with just one light switch and a dead body.

[Video forever]

[The camera remains on the body, and the lights continues to flick on and off a few more times before a quiet voice responds.] ...No?

[Voices talking to her. Well. That's not any different from the usual. The lights remain on.] It's not a show.

[Audio until he feels like it]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Then what's with the lightswitch rave?

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

It's not a rave.

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Still kinda weird. Not like I mind much.

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

Me neither.

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

What's your name?

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

You don't know?

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Nope. I've got no idea, little miss.

[That's interesting. She believes that everyone in her imagination knows who she is. Yet...now that she thinks of it, it makes much more sense if they didn't.] Maybe it's better if you don't know it.

[She pauses, deciding to give her name anyways.] Madotsuki.

[He clicks on the camera now, smiling in a way that can pass for perfectly innocent.] Nice to meet you. I'm Ryuunosuke.

[Well.

This was something he didn't see every day.

It was also something he would obviously prefer not to see.

But, you know. Deer, headlights, whatever.

So he'll probably just be staring with the most confused expression for the time being.]

[Video forever]

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

[It may be video, but the camera still shows the body. Let him stare. Most parts of her imagination would have left by this point.]

[buttery-tech.livejournal.com]

[You know that feeling you get... after staring at some disgusting for a long time? Yeah, that feeling is slowly bubbling up in his stomach, but he'll just grin and bare it for now. And maybe try to get... whoever's attention.]

Uh, hello?

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

You're still there.

[buttery-tech.livejournal.com]

Of course! I mean, not that I like what I'm seeing, but...

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

Are you scared?

[buttery-tech.livejournal.com]

A little? I mean, it's only human nature to be repulsed by such a gruesome scene.

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

Human nature is a lot worse than this.

[buttery-tech.livejournal.com]

That's why there are so many rules and laws. People need guidance, or they'll give in to whatever darkness seeps into their minds and hearts.

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

You think I did something wrong?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Throne of Earth... what are you doing?

always video;

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

[The video only shows a bloodied knife repeatedly stabbing a wall; it seems the screen is still being used for a light. She has no clue who or what a Throne of Earth is, so she pauses to think for a moment about those words.

And then she continues.] It doesn't matter to you.

Re: always video;

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I disagree. Tell me.

[notafraid2dream.livejournal.com]

...I'm trying to find another area. Another door. [Hence her stabbing the walls. She probably has fifty more attacks to go before it opens.]
