001 [video]
[The sound feed clicks on, but there's no video to accompany it. There is the sound of muttering coming from somewhere.]
"Come on come on come on..."
[Three pulses of static, three muffled impacts, and finally, there is video. First there is only the face: bloody, scratched, smeared with white and black paint, painful-looking scars stretching up from the corner of his lips. The lips, chapped and cracking, part in a sickening grin, revealing small and yellowed teeth. Beady eyes encircled by faded black makeup bore into the camera. The video pulls away, revealing that he is outside, standing in front of a worn brick building. He zooms it back in.]
"Ahh, good..."
[First one dark eye, then the other. He seems to be looking through the camera, rather than at it.]
"There we go... now... anybody home?"
"Come on come on come on..."
