[at SOME POINT over the last few days, your character may have run into or been approached by a teenaged boy with cybernetic hands, who is carrying around a bucket full of MYSTERIOUS SILVER FLUID that of course would not be another camper named Cessily Kincaid. no. but she has been missing.

open to anyone who'd be interested/would notice these things. i'm just too lazy to put it up on CFUD. WE'RE BACKDATING FOR ETERNITY, PEOPLE.]

She is? What happened? Can I visit?

[he just gestures at the bucket.]

[leaning close to it]

Cess? Can you hear me? A-are you okay?

She can't answer you. Hell if I know if she can hear you.

[turning back to him, whispering]

I-I know she can't answer, but if she can hear me, I don't want to just ignore her. That's rude.

What's the movie?

... she's, um, letting me pick. I haven't decided yet. We're going to have a sleepover and everything.

Oh, God, I can sit through a movie, I'm not doing a sleepover.

... you were going to watch a movie with us?

Why are you so dumb. No. If Cess can hear, she'd want to do it, but she can't defend herself if she gets attacked and you would just cry on anyone that tried to kill her. So I'd have to be there to make sure she's okay.

I wouldn't cry! I'd defend her. Or, um, I'd find someone that could.

You so would.

[frowns]

I'd try not to. I don't want anything bad to happen to her. I care a lot about Cess, too.

Sure, you'd say that. But you'd still stand there, cry and get her killed.

I-I wouldn't. Don't say that.

You would.

So if you choose the Notebook, this is off. No-one likes Cess enough to sit through that.

[almost starts to argue again, but stops herself]

Do you want to pick the movie? Cess and I can watch a movie I pick and have our sleepover when she's better.

This isn't for me. This is for Cess. I don't even like you. Why would I want to do anything with you.

Because you and me and Cess could watch it together. Just like you said. And if she can hear, she'd like that. We both want her to be happy.

No. I don't care about you. At all. You are nothing but a whiny annoyance to me. My time is valuable and I don't do favours for people I don't like.

... I thought I was getting less annoying.

That doesn't mean you're not annoying.

It wouldn't be a favor for me, anyways. I don't mind waiting until Cess is better. But, maybe it would help her. What if she's scared? I would be.

Choose your damned movie already. I'm not going to be watching it anyway.

... I haven't read all of the boxes at the VideoRama yet. I want to pick the perfect movie.
