[Mike's in a sort of grimy camp bathroom. He's doing the sinks with a rag. There are other things to clean, but he's going to put those off as long as humanly possible. He's muttering to himself under his breath.]

Some camp. What's it got against a guy listening to a bit of music in his spare time? You'd think I punched someone.

[Nearby, as is always ( Read more... )

If we're going to--

[Pause]

Oh. [Another pause.] I thought I left. I guess not.

[There's rustling a moment, and then the boy's voice gets a lot clearer as he takes out his device.]

Hey. My name's Mike and...I'm back. Mike Webster. If there's anyone here who remembers me...unless I made up that other time I came, and I only actually left for 5 minutes, ( Read more... )

Rudy, I don't really know what you're doing today, though I guess it's something...angelic. But happy birthday anyway. Now's probably a bad time for a party, eh? You can still have cake if you come back to the apartment ( Read more... )

[The video turns on to reveal blanket. There's a tiny muffled squeak at that and the blanket clears away from the screen to show a little lump moving away under the blanket on the top bunk of Rudy and Mike's bunk bed.

Summer's over. I can't believe I'm camping AGAIN.

It's my school I miss, so I don't think going to one here would really help. It's a weird thing to end up missing, I guess.

Also, I ( Read more... )

[Westerburg High. There's a Junior sitting in your hallway, as out of the way as possible. He's in jeans, and a Radiohead t-shirt and he's got a guitar that he's messing around with. Possibly practicing some finger-picking. Possibly trying to work out the stupidly difficult chords to Life on Mars?. Whatever it is, he's trying to look as ( Read more... )

It's really nice to be able to talk about whatever I want instead of the same three quests. Merry? A controller is a thing you use to play a sort of game. It's technology. I thought you had one for some reason.

Anyway, why're all these people here today? Is it a holiday that only happens here?

[It's not exactly clear how a video is being filmed, but it's happening, and focussed on a kid in boots and a green tunic. And a ridiculous hat. Oh, hang on, it's Rudy. He's walking through a bit of a woody area when suddenly, an enormous pig monster charges out of the underbrush and knocks him down. As Rudy gets back up to his feet, a big bright ( Read more... )
