[Audio/handwritten - math notes]

[pianistofraielin]

[Russel, stuck in detention after Friday's 'disruption' (aka he drank the tap water and couldn't stop laughing in class), has absentmindedly doodled that number stuck in his head onto his math notes. So the first thing that appears are pre-calculus notes interspersed with doodles of popular S&M characters.]

[this is followed by a loud exclamation of surprise and the sound of metal scraping against tile and an ensuing crash. Then a possibly familiar female teacher's voice shouting admonishingly from across the room: "Russel!"]

YES MA'AM SORRY MA'AM. [sounds of a chair being righted, and then the oppressive stillness of a detention hall. Also, the notebook being slammed shut, which just muffles the silence.]

[a moment later, he realizes he can't do his homework without his notes and opens it back up. But, um, his notes are covered in other things right now, so he can't really use them anyway…?!]

[handwritten: ] Whatever you are, do you think you could maybe get out of my math notes? I'm trying to do my homework and it's really distracting!

Me too, but I'm not much of an artist, really.

Actually, I'm way more into music as an art form than visual art! But I'm not much of a musician either...

[counterclock]

music is great
though i don't really
do that either
i make videos

[pianistofraielin]

I wish I could do music. I tried to learn a few instruments, but I'm just no good at it.

What kind of videos?

[counterclock]

dang that's shit luck
sorry man
i do video blogs mostly but i also make some short films and internet documentaries and stuff

[pianistofraielin]

I know, it's terrible! [he's trying to make it sound like a minor inconvenience that he can laugh off as bad luck, but it's actually genuinely upsetting whenever he stops to think about it.]

[thus: he will not stop to think about it.]

Oh wow, that sounds cool! Do you have a link? I'll check it out when I get home.

I do some acting, myself. I'm in the drama club at LCHS.

[counterclock]

if you got an email i'll send my channel to you but other than that i like to keep my personal identity and this network pretty goddamn separate so
acting huh
what's your favourite stuff to do

[pianistofraielin]

Sure! It's bachtothefuture @ gmail . com

Mostly everyone says I'm really good at villains so that's all I get cast for. But I played a pretty good Phantom once! [no live singing for that one, thank goodness]

[counterclock]

wasn't the phantom a villain tho
sent
cute email btw

[Avery's channel will feature a lot of videoblogs of her talking about absolutely random shit. She has around three thousand subscribers and each of her videos get thousands of hits, with some of them (usually the controversial ones) pushing a million hits. She's very proud, obviously. She talks about everything from food to comics to social justice to shitty videogames. There's a link to a tragic romance film she made in a video talking about its production, and aside from that if he searches amongst the videoblogs he'll find a couple eight-or-so-minute-long documentaries on random stupid shit.]

[pianistofraielin]

Yeah... I haven't really had a major non-villain role yet... I'd really like to play a romantic hero sometime, but I guess I'll take what I can get for now.

Thanks! I thought it was pretty clever.

[oh man once he gets the chance to dig through all that he will be contacting her about it for sure]

[counterclock]

haha that's legit
so are you like a big guy then
got a shifty look to you

[He has her email! He's free to bother her however.]

[pianistofraielin]

What? No!

Well I mean I play football so I'm pretty solid I guess... but I'm definitely not shifty-looking!

[counterclock]

football
that's cute

[pianistofraielin]

[wasn't...expecting that...]

It is?

[counterclock]

yep
adorable
