(7) a warning and a suggestion

[dorkytracksuit]

[Making a video post is pretty rare for Davin, but rather than risk looking like an idiot by typing weird, he's decided to just be his extremely awkward self on video instead. Have I mentioned he's yellow? Because he's yellow, very Jaundiced looking.]

So last time I got a bunch of people together from here, we all got attacked by those animals. I guess that doesn't make sense to all of you, but.. With the fourth coming up I figured that.. I should at least remind people, it's not always safe to go out in large groups.

That being said, if you've got any kind of weird physical defect going on because of whats happened, or. I dunno if you're a stray animal without a home or something, there's a space at my place?

Having to be alone on holidays kind of sucks, so I thought it might be nice if you don't want to be by yourself for whatever reason.

[And then he has to look away, cause he really does hate being recorded in anyway. There's only a short second before he mumbles again, while still looking away.]

And before someone mentioned pooling money to buy a safehouse or something. I think I found a cheap place, a kind of warehouse loft place, if anyone is still interested in helping with that.

Let me know.

[And then after a few more moments of silence, the recording ends.]

Oh yeah, you Americans have a habit of blowing up things on the Fourth, don't you?

Good to hear you found a cheap place, but if you have any surprise expenses for it, I can always loan some money to help with it.

[dorkytracksuit]

something like that.

thats good to hear. if we can manage to actually get it.

[ursoreckless]

I wonder if we can find a way to blow up the invading forces we're suppose to fight. It might make the fireworks interesting.

You can get it, and if not that one, there is always more out there some where.

[she's not real enthused about being on video either. ]

I haven't run into those whatchamacallits yet... do you have any advice?

Oh, yes, ah, if you need help moving stuff or setting this safehouse place up, I'm up for it.

audio

[dorkytracksuit]

Just avoid them. Hit them. They're not fighters alone. Just in a group.

Haven't seen them for a while anyway, so probably isn't worth worrying about, but.

[Not visible shrug.]


Moving stuff would help a lot.

I'm kind of out of my league as far as this stuff goes.

audio

[playmisere]

...but it's good to be prepared, I know. Then again, if you're right and they're attracted to groups, then folks won't have to tackle them alone, either.

Hey, it's the least I can do! I think we're all a little in over our head here.

So you're turning into a banana.

How's. How's that working out for you.

[dorkytracksuit]

yeah. it's awful. im allergic to myself.

[drama8om8]

See, this was going to be the bit where I asked if all your skin was going to peel off too. Banana-style! Which would be gross and also funny. Then we would have created some form of bond through both of us laughing at your lamentable state!
But you have thrown me off my metaphorical game.
Dude. Are you actually coordinating your text to go with your deformity unfortunate condition?
Is that an actual thing that you are actually doing right now.

[enrages]

dude.
go to the fucking hospital.
jesus h. chrysler, you look like you're about to keel over any second here.

Re: text;

[dorkytracksuit]

yeah, its because my blood is yellow. other than the pigment change im fine though. is there pigment in blood? whatever.

text;

[enrages]

why

the fuck is your blood
yellow

[ wow this is hitting close to home because hello guess who has a weirdass obsession with the wrongness of his blood? this kid. ]

[testsonseashells]

Experiencing any other symptoms?

[dorkytracksuit]

♊'m fiine, iit's just my blood.

[testsonseashells]

"Just" your blood.

[voice]

[moarnomsplz]

[Wow, he wasn't kidding about being yellow. Alex replies with audio, thinking it's only fair not to hide his own embarrassing "gift" from the vision things.]

Like I said bee, before, there's not a lot I can do to help with money or buying-ing a place or stuff like that. But I want to help if I can. I could, I don't know, paint or build furniture or something-ing.

[voice]

[dorkytracksuit]

[He doesn't comment on the vocal quirk, he used to lisp as a kid afterall.]

I think if everyone pools their resources it will be fine. We're all just doing what we can, right?

[voice]

[moarnomsplz]

Right. I think there's enough of us that we can manage everything-ing if we all do a little.

I can totally, lee, come to a party, too. My family doesn't do anything-ing special for the for, fourth of July.

[Video]

[scramasax]

[Anthony is evidently of a similar mind to Alex on this.

He brings a video transmission on, blinking at his paper-screen - this would be a fantastic relief!]

-- Are you sure - you would... want everyone there...? -- At a safehouse...

Or - would it be better for - some of us to... stay out, un-unless we can't?

audio

[dorkytracksuit]

It's a place for people to go if they can't stay where they were. We're all already in danger, the people who come here, even more so.

I think this is safer than having people on the street.

[scramasax]

[Well - it wouldn't need to be permanent, anyhow, if settled, and if acceptable to take to start with... Eyes dart aside and back as he speaks.]

...I -- don't have anything, but I will - help, at all, if possible...

[hopeungovernable]

[Huh. So that's what he looks like. Sort of sick looking but he seems fine really.]

...Should I not mention that whole yellow skin--And I just did anyways. Shit--[Then she slaps a hand over her mouth. Children on weird number thing self. A little moment of shaking her head quietly and sighing. Random awkward]

Well at least I can't be more awkward than you were on camera huh?

and text!

[dorkytracksuit]

harsh. everyone else has. i don't see why you wouldn't. i guess i should have done my makeup before getting on camera.

text

[hopeungovernable]

[Well then she'll go to text too]

Now I feel bad. It's just jarring to see I suppose. What a strange...alteration. I'm guessing it is.

[comparative_insanity]

it aint safe 2 go out even in small "groups" without getting attacked by weird hairy things but yeah you have a point that was freaky as fuck
still copin with the claws and shit
you?
