First Camp || It's time for introductions camp! || Video/Action

[tiniestnihilist]

[The video starts as most introduction videos to. The screen shows Max's bushy black hair before it moves down to show his face. Green eyes glare at the camera for a moment. The hologram lady is going through her usual speech and clearly Max isn't interested.]

You know, if I hadn't recently been assaulted by magic, I wouldn't believe any of this crap.

[He motions to the magazine stand, which now has all of it's papers tilted to the right and shuffled around. Have fun sorting that out.]

I'm not going to some stupid kid's house either. Fuck that noise. Someone around here has to be okay with breaking child labor-

[Max is interrupted by a very loud and familiar voice to some in the city.]

MAX!

Oh god n-

[Before Max can even finish his sentence, David is picking him up and Max drops the phone. It hits the ground but both can still be seen.]

Oh, Max, it's so great to see you! Are you okay? I know it must be pretty disorienting to be here so suddenly but you're going to be alright! I'll take care of you! Don't worry, the people here are so friendly and welcoming, you'll make so many new friends you won't know what to DO with them all and --

Somebody fucking shoot me.

Max...language.

[With that, the video ends.]

Comments

[foxcurls]

.......Wow you two are like me and my Uncle in reverse.

[tiniestnihilist]

...If you're anything like David, stay away from me.

[foxcurls]

Yep you are totally like my uncle... well before he's had his tea anyway.

And don't worry, I'm only that much like David when I'm trying to annoy him. [Based on what he's seen so far anyway.]

Aren't you even a tiny bit glad not to be alone here?

[unhappy]

Is he always like that?

[ It's rare for Emerald to empathize with someone.

But she's also had a conversation with David and has decided he is some kind of strange demon hellbent on destroying negativity. ]

[tiniestnihilist]

[Max sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.]

Yeah. Yeah he is. All the time.

[unhappy]

He told me he's going to be the guardian of my trust and hopes and dreams.

[ She doesn't look like she's thrilled about it. ]

I was going to say welcome but maybe 'I'm sorry' would be more fitting.

Will you be okay? That man seems deranged.

Re: [Video]

[tiniestnihilist]

He's not deranged. Just misguided in his views on humanity and life in general. He'd rather live in his fantasy of happy intentions and teamwork.

...

Kinda have to give him some credit though. He keeps it up. Despite everything. And I should know. I'm still trying to break the idiot.

[Video]

[k2so]

Ugh. That's not always any better than deranged.

Are you family or....?

[Video]

[aurabble]

Oh, cool. You know David! He's a pretty great guy.

Re: [Video]

[tiniestnihilist]

[That voice! Those words!]

...Oh holy shit.

[Video]

[aurabble]

Hey. Those two words don't go in the same sentence!

Just kidding. I don't care. What's wrong?

(video)

[younghero]

What's wrong with living with other kids?

It's better than living with grown-ups.

...is that your dad or something?

[Hey, he was raised by a tree, and has pretty much no clue how real families work.]

Re: (video)

[tiniestnihilist]

One: I'm not living with a bunch of brats in a prison made to keep us all together. Fuck that noise.

Two: No. He's the camp counselor from my summer camp. We don't look anything like each other.

Re: (video)

[younghero]

You get paid for not being an adult, and no one really seems to care what you do.

[Link wasn't bothered.]

You could be adopted. And he really seemed to like you.

[He still has...no clue he's adopted himself. Trauma for a later time.]

[campediem]

--and when I say "language", I mean both in terms of profanity and attitude. Come on, Max! Let's hear some positivity!

Re: [action]

[tiniestnihilist]

You want some positivity, David?

I positively think you can suck a dick.

[action]

[campediem]

Thank you! That is, theoretically, a compliment.

[geez_louise]

Hey, don't knock it until you try it!


...Then you can complain about how much you don't like it. I mean, don't just paint a target on your back.

[tiniestnihilist]

I've been to summer camp. So been there, done that.

[geez_louise]

Oh what do you mean? Summer camp is fun! Hiking and macrame and...heh..campfire so-hahaHA!

I'm sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face! Yeah, summer camp is the WORSE.

[corruptedsave]

Are you sure you don't want him to be shot?

[Hello fellow kid who hates people.]

Re: [audio]

[tiniestnihilist]

Either one would work. Except knowing my luck, he'd somehow dodge the bullet.

[ivegotadream]

How old are you anyway?

[She knew he was a child at least, but not how old exactly. Plus she didn't get why a child would want to work.]

[tiniestnihilist]

I'm ten. Why?
