[ when the video comes on, it's on accident, and there's a moment there where the feed shakes around a bit before it jerks - almost as if someone hit it, before it tilts back to a head full of red hair and a very unamused look. ]

Not sure on what planet these kinds of kidnapping-and-drugging shenanigans are even legal, but hey, I can take a joke. You did a great job setting this up, but genre clash? Doesn't start till next month. And this whole Silent Hill thing - what did you call it, Cape Kore? - while really cool and thought out and overall A plus for effort, still not okay. Not a game, here! [ and wow, okay, flashback. why are there so many weirdos who take this game too seriously? she's really done getting kidnapped, and there's no hot fairy here. so immediate negative points. ]

The wrist communicator is really cool. Feeling a little Might Morphin, just without the ti kwan do or spandex suits. Not that I want the suits, but just, if you're going to go half-way might as well go the full way. Go big or go home. Right? [ and at this point she's just kind of babbling. someone's starting to feel really, really nervous. ] I'm serious, guys. Not funny. I just- home? Yeah? Please?

[ there's a moment where she bites her lower lip, looking off and around her - seeing only a cape and a lighthouse and totally unable to drop that 'Big Brother is Watching' feeling creeping down the back of her neck. after the moment is over, she closes her eyes, as if she's finally convincing her to say something she'd been worried about saying.

and, with her eyes closed (though her left does peek open to the camera), she continues. while she is secretly hoping no one answers this last bit because that would not be good. really really not good. ]

And Sam and Dean, if you two are here...help?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

A lot of people seem to want to talk to those Sam and Dean guys. Maybe I ought to try it sometime.

Oh, but I can help! And trust me, it's less Silent Hill and more... I'm not even sure I have a sufficient metaphor to tell you the truth. It's definitely creepy though so take all the time you need to--not panic.

Eh, they're not all they're cracked up to be. [ and she says that in the fondest way possible. ] They just...have a track record with getting into really shitty situations. Kind of make a life of it, actually. Great guys! really not-great luck.

[ which would explain why everyone knows them in a place like this. yup. ]

Help would be great, actually. Because I'm kind of lacking in the shot-gun and flash-light department which Silent Hill always prepared me for and I'm not even sure where to start.

Oooh, okay. I know a--one of those, mostly. And I can't say I don't sympathize.

I don't do... guns, but I think I can spare a flashlight. I mean, if you ask nicely.

My name's Buffy by the way. Not that you asked. I just thought I'd get the boring intros over and done with so we could get into the good stuff. Like mechanical bears and creepy experiments.

Don't get me wrong, though. They're like the brothers I kind of wish I never had, but fate is a cruel mistress and all that.

Oh no I didn't mean I needed one! Yet, anyway, since it's not dark out and I'd rather not be walking around then anyway. [ and then, a beat. ] How nice is nicely? [ no that's not a very interested and slightly scheming look ther what are you talking about. ]

I'm Charlie, and I'm all for skipping the boring part. Not that the rest of it is good. [ dot dot dot ] So what's your take on the creepy experiments?

Nicely is... nicely. With 'please's and 'thank you's. That's how my mom taught me anyways.

[Buffy gives a half-shrug and wonders if this is how people feel when they talk to her. Probably. The Joss-speak is strong with this one.]

...I don't love them. But hey, them's the breaks.

That's a relief. Not sure how things and words line up in this crazy place.

[ ah, yes. the Joss-speak. wonderful thing, that. ]

You don't sound all that worried about them either.

Oh, I'm plenty worried. [Buffy shrugs.] It just doesn't seem worth... the dwelling it's getting.

I'm more focused on getting our butts out of here, if I'm honest. Which I probably shouldn't say, you know, publicly but. [She waves a hand.]

[ well that...makes a lot of sense. ]

So there is a way to get out of here with my head in-tact and crazy-science-experiment-less?

There's always an exit door. We just have to find it.

How long have you been looking?

Only about two weeks. I'm just getting started.

Oh, that's not...too bad.

[ sobs. she doesn't even want to be here that long. ]

Any luck?

Time goes reeeeallllyyy slowwwww here. Or maybe it's just boring. Either way.

No luck in either the good or the bad category, nope. And I've read, like, every book in this stupid place!

I can do boring! Experimenty and terrifying, not so much.

Wait, there are books on this place?

It's both, with sporadic bits of each. Like when you get a mouthful of sprinkles in one bite of ice cream cone and none in the next.

Not very many, I'm finding out.

Usually sprinkles are an omen of sugary goodness. Not lethal murderousness.

[ still, books got her hooked. ]

So we can do research about this place? Cause research I'm good at.

I need to stop using food metaphors. [SIGH]

...The research thing is not so much. In that, the guys calling the shots didn't leave us much to search, let alone do it again.

[ shrug. ] I'm kind of picky with my comparisons, so don't take my opinions too harsh.

[ seeing as buffy's already passed that level of cool anyway. ]

What did they leave us with? What not to do?

[Buffy smiles, though it's a little bland, wishing they could have met other under circumstances. But alas.]

Not even that. Though there are plenty of things not to do here.

[ weird circumstances or no they can still be friends yes? charlie thinks so. granted, she also just likes to surround herself with very attractive badass ladies so she might be a little biased. ]

So it's basically the intro guide to a game you can figure out on your own. Awesome.

Sort of. Mixed with a little bit of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure.

I never liked those.

I prefer my choose your owns in green text on a black screen, thanks.

[ old school computer game joke i think so. ]
