Wrapper 01, Intro, Accidental video

[timeforavacay]

[At first the only thing the viewer can see is darkness. The silence it
brings is shattered by the steady sound of pounding and then the screen
is awash with light. Once it has adjusted it focuses in on a man
standing on a knocked down door. He bends down to pick up the device but
doesn't give it much attention.]

What the-

[He lets out a low whistle.]

This place has seen better days. Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore.

[He pauses to look around.]

Uzuki? [Silence.] Shit.

[The feed cuts out.]

[You know, out of the two, Beat's glad it's this one and not Pinky]

You so ain't in Kansas, Lolly.

[Video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

[You're welcome Beat.]

So it seems. Mind fillin a guy in?

[Not that he expects to get much from you Beat. Sorry.]

[Then you won't be overly disappointed!]

Some kinda place called A-string or somethin'. Got Animoose for Gods, they kinda jerks, 'cept when they ain't.

[Video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

[Wow.]

One of these days Skulls, you'll cease to amaze me. Today is not one of those days.

[Have a simpler question.]

Is it anything like Shibuya?

[Video]

[redumption.livejournal.com]

[He will take that as a compliment, just to spite you. And cause he is pretty amazing, yeah.]

Nah, yo. Got plenty a' people, but it ain't nothin' like Shibuya. Place is all outta whack, yo.

[leggierissimo]

Well, we certainly are gathering quite a group.

[Video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

[Yaay brat child.]

You, Skulls. Who else is in this dump?

[Video]

[leggierissimo]

[Child. That's cute.]

Take your pick. Though I'm sorry to say that your overly irritable partner hasn't shown up yet. I suppose it's only a matter of time.

[Video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

Huh. How disappointing.

[Just gonna ignore that sinking feeling now kthnx.]

Since asking Skulls about this place was a terrible idea, would you mind telling me what's going on?

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

.....Another Reaper?! [instantly on defense, okay. Stay away from Joshua. Not that she can really protect him or anything.]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

Skulls Jr! Glad to see you're okay. [Whoopse! Too late.]

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

How do you know me?

[Just trying to give him the 'stay the fuck away from me' look, but ends up with an adorable twelve year old version of it.]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

I'm a Reaper, you're a Player. Is it that difficult to figure out? [It is rather adorable and not at all intimidating.] It's like you're a neon sign, chickie.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Look who. Got the lowdown yet, Lollipop?

[video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

Surprise!

[He shrugs.]

Bits and pieces. I get the feeling you're gonna tell me we're trapped in this dump. What else have you got for me?

[video]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Well, if they've covered that for ya: people get sent home at random, they put us through new weird things every couple weeks - this's an off week, expect fireworks next. Most a the wildlife's hostile, but the bunnies taste pretty good with salt.

You'll hafta find your own place to crash, but there's a couple people who'll let newcomers stay till they manage it. Might wanna take one of 'em up on the offer. It's chilly this time a year.

[video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

Sounds about right. This isn't exactly the place I picture when I think of vacation time, but I get the feeling this is as good as it gets.

I take it some of the buildings are inhabitable then.

[Because the ones he's been passing by sure aren't.]

Thanks for the heads up.

[Video]

[weredaddy.livejournal.com]

Indeed you're not. Welcome to Adstringendum.

[Video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

So this place does have a name then.

[He made the mistake of asking Beat first. Thank you mister.]

Quite the welcoming committee you've got here. Hopefully that isn't the only nice thing about this place.

[Video]

[weredaddy.livejournal.com]

It does.

There are worse places to end up, of course, but this place still is pretty horrid, if you'll allow me to be honest.

[Video]

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

You don't need my permission to be honest. I'm no judge.

The name's Kariya. What's yours?

[books-n-battle.livejournal.com]

Not in Oz, either.

You're not talking about a Shion or Jin Uzuki, are you?

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

And for that I am thankful.

Yashiro. Sorry Cherry.

[books-n-battle.livejournal.com]

Dammit. Oh well.

And I dunno, Oz might be easier. At least there you can make the witches melt.

[timeforavacay.livejournal.com]

This place really that bad?

There's not much sport in that, now is there?
