[ ... At first, there is only static. But then the camera (which is still grainy, and the overall quality is poor, as though it has been... damaged, somehow) focuses in on a room without any sort of decoration on the walls. The room is gray and concrete, and also very large. There is a chair in the middle of it, and a table in front of that. Not far from the table, on the concrete floor, one can spot what looks to be a... person. They seem to be in a great deal of pain, and look quite exhausted. At first, it's difficult to tell who it is; their body is slumped over, and they are on their knees on the cold, hard floor. It seems almost as though they're chained by something. As though there are shackles around their neck and wrists, invisible, but connected to a wall. Instead, all that is ON the wall is a small, inconspicuous slip of paper.
The SFC is sitting on the floor in the corner of the room, and there is an obvious crack in the screen; it seems to have been damaged at some point, but still appears to be broadcasting fine. The feed flickers slightly, turning to static for a moment, the view obscured. However, you can still HEAR what's going on. Two voices (the first one arrogant but young; clearly no older than twenty, is laced with amusement. The second voice, which sounds far more tired yet strangely calm, seems to belong to whoever is being kept in the feed. It's slightly younger, and higher-pitched than the first, with an airy quality to it even though it's quite tired) are heard speaking. After a moment, a clump from a loud boot can be heard. ]
Heh. Hey, J. Tell me something... [ There is the briefest of pauses. ] Oh, wait--hold that thought. Actually, hold onto it NICE and tight... because I'll pry it out of your head one way or another.
But what if I want to hold it loosely? What would you do then, hm?
And here I'd been hoping you wouldn't be so dull, J! [ Ka-chink. Whatever that noise is, it isn't good. The first voice chuckles, very much amused. The second voice, however, is perfectly calm, despite his situation. He does, however, sound a bit tired. ]
Well, I don't think I can compare to a blade, really.
[ The feed crackles with static once again, and the video returns. The first voice obviously belongs to Enjin, and he's holding the knife right next to Joshua. There's a crackling noise, and electric energy begins surrounding the entire blade ]
Of course you couldn't... how remiss of me. But why don't we make absolute sure, huh? Give us a nice, good show now, J.
[ There's a sneer, and then Enjin plunges his blade slowly into his captive's stomach. Joshua's reaction, however, is obscured by the fact his kidnapper's back is facing the camera, therefore preventing both himself and Enjin from being seen until the predatory fox moves away, over to the right, removing the blade slowly, without any mercy whatsoever. When Enjin removes his razorblade, the Composer hisses, gritting his teeth, unable to hide the fact he's in pain, because ow, he was just stabbed WITH a soul-manipulating electricity kick to boot. Bright, red blood comes with the blade, and begins dripping onto the floor. Luckily it doesn't have far to fall, but whatever Enjin has done to Joshua to keep him where he is means that he's really unable to move or leave or do much anything.
There's a long, drawn out smirk, and Enjin puts his fingers to the blood from Joshua's wound, gives it a glance, and laughs, his smirk widening. ]
So even the Composer bleeds! How about that... [ He glances back to Joshua, and flicks a small, black pin with a white skull on the front up as though it were a coin. Then he catches it. ] Didn't think you'd make this easy. But hey, nothing wrong with that, huh~?
[ Joshua is too busy trying not to let his composure slip. He wouldn't let Enjin have the satisfaction. ] Well! Looks like the Composer is busy composing something new, huh? Hahaha! That'd be himself.
[ And he flicks the Player Pin up into the air like a coin again, then proceeding to catch it. playing with t razor in his other hand a bit, and looking toward the camera. He walks over to it, bending down. ] Hey, I hope you guys like the show so far! It's just beginning. I heard you got your angel back, too~!
[ A smirk, and he motions behind him to Joshua. ]
So... why don't you guys step on up? I bet you're all dying to have a chance to talk with the lucky kid! But don't overdo it now, or his career could just go on for way longer than either of us had ever anticipated... wouldn't that be said?
[ And from the background, there's a slightly pained breath before Joshua speaks again, somehow sounding far too calm despite the pain he's been enduring. ] My... who knew acting was such a drawn-out production...?
Fortunately, you're going to be a great lead performer for everyone!
[ And Joshua manages a smile, SOMEHOW, in the background, despite bleeding and being on his knees, bound there by his very own power as Composer. ] Wonderful! I'd hate to be a poor actor and let everyone down.
[ And Enjin laughs. ] ... Hey, Angel, Wonderland. Hope you guys enjoy the show.
[ With one of his signature VERY sick 'innocent' looking smiles, the feed cuts to absolute static. ]
