[Video; Laptop] Forward-dated to Wednesday, December 11th evening

[youngestone]

[The video isn't focused on Killian's face right away, just his lap. There's a bow (like the ones you shoot) sitting in it, and he's playing with it for a few minutes before he finally turns the video up to his face. It's only focusing on his profile but he still looks like shit.

About like he's been crying, actually. When he speaks he sounds like he's been crying, too]

There...um. The clinic--

[It's really hard to speak. He tries again]

My...mom and I were in the DD earlier and she...she got shot by the Blood Keys. I got her to LSR but she...

[He can't say it, clenching his eyes shut and taking a few moments to recover before continuing]

Um. Yeah. So if...if I'm not, uh, around then...that's. That's why. To help pay...you know, all that stuff, I'm--I got a pulse a bit ago and I can make really fancy jewelery now. [He reaches over and grabs a sample, holding it up to the camera while not looking at it. It's made from the stuff you get at a craft store but it's pretty intricate.] If...anyone wants one, or a bracelet or something, I can make one.

[He hesitates a little longer before reaching over to cut the video]

[L's spacey and doesn't always get people, but he's no idiot. It actually sinks in this time.]

Oh. Sorry. I thought you were selling bracelets to pay medical bills. But funerals are expensive too.

Do you have anything in blue...?

[He... cannot afford anything, his grocery budget this week was literally less than $4. But he feels like the jerk he didn't mean to be. Just a little bit.]

[Killian'll feel bad later.]

Blue metal or blue stones? I can get blue embellishment stuff from the craft store.

[dead_black_eyes]

I'm not actually going to wear it. I don't care. I'm thinking of it as purchasing tact...

[youngestone]

[...well.]

I'll see what I can do. Name?

Audio

[dead_black_eyes]

Call me L.

I don't like giving away my real name over this thing, you understand.

Audio

[youngestone]

Yeah, fair enough. I'll get a hold of you when it's done.

Audio

[dead_black_eyes]

OK.

Would an estimate be too much to ask? I need to make sure the funds are available.

Audio

[youngestone]

How ever much you can spare, really. It's the holidays. I'm not expecting much but I have to try.

Audio

[dead_black_eyes]

Yeah... I understand.

I'll see what I can do.

...thanks.
