savetheearth | joint post with substitutable. Vegas early morning.

[Matt Abbot adjusts the camera on his laptop. He's still in his Vegas hotel room--funny, since a lot of the group has gotten home?

But right now, Matt is in his room with his hoodie zipped up all the way (Matt it's hot, stop). His hair is ruffled and it looks like he's had trouble sleeping, but--

Behind him another another boy is sitting up, rubbing sleep out of his eyes in confusion. He is wearing Matt's pajamas. Please do not ask.]

Good morning, Vegas and good nearly afternoon, Locke City. I have once again implemented a dastardly scheme. Since my last hostage got away from me, I have taken a new one. Except this time it is a Vegas native. I believe he was trying to hero at me or something, but I turned the tables on him and now he is my captive.

I will be returning with him to Locke eventually. In the mean time, I will try to continue more evildoing.

[The video cuts out. Matt knows he's going over the top. People might yell at him becuase Serious Things happened. But fuck it. He needs the amusement and maybe a few people will play along.

Then he switches to text.]

Got out of the hospital yesterday. No permanent damages, just some bruises and a few cracked ribs. Should be home by the beginning of July.

And I'm sorry. I should've had a better eye on things. I hope everybody's okay.

[Replies will also be coming from

substitutable! Who has just reapped in with a new reincarnation and has no idea he was being recorded.]

[The cat talks. He doesn't know what to believe anymore, but--]

... I guess he's the evilest of all evil. Be careful, don't let him take over you.

T-Take over-?

[What does that mean?!! Something bad, clearly, but...!]

He'll possess you like an evil spirit.

It's how I ended up here.

Don't let him do the same to you.

[Excuse Matt while he rolls his eyes and tells Shin not to make fun of the poor cat.

WHILE MAKING FUN OF THE POOR CAT.]

I won't get taken over by some evil human!

[Oh kitty. Shintaro chuckles, shaking his head.]

Are you sure? Stay strong, he's a pretty strong foe.

What's your name?

[She looks pretty agitated at the thought, but she's not just an ordinary cat, either. She can take him-! M-maybe.]

My name is Mimi.

Mimi. I'm Shin, nice to meet you.

If Matthias gives you trouble just tell me. I'll come help.

...

But you're kidnapped.

[How's this guy going to help at all if he's already caught?]

Exactly so if you get caught, I'll help you escape.

It won't be hard.

-? So it's easy to get away?

Oh yeah. To be honest I wouldn't have to try so hard to leave?

Then why don't you just leave?

I have to make sure he doesn't kidnap anybody else. I can't create more victims.

It isn't scary?

Scary? Nope. He lets me watch TV and use the shower and the bed is nice.

[Oh!]

The TV is good. I like that one.

Right? It's not so bad. He eats a lot so if he ever catches you, have him feed you.

...If he feeds me instead, it'll be okay?

It will be. He eats a lot. If you can get him to share you have nothing to fear.

What kind of food does he normally eat?

[She is suddenly more interested in this than before.]

Everything.

So I can eat anything I want if I ask him for food?

Maybe. Just make sure he shares, he eats a lot!

I want to eat human food too!

[IT'S BEEN SO LONG...]
