((OOC: oh my god, you guys, what am I even doing? Late intro is so late because of NaNoWriMo and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING, besides. Enjoy :'D Sorry if I derp this up like the derp I am. Also, feel free to add your own character tags. Tag add new/delete and add/remove to entry is set to any user because I am too trusting))

[the feed shows Douglas Cartland blinking in the middle of a random field in the sunlight, shielding his eyes from the sun. He's got his 'gear in one hand and his Shuckle in the other and he's staring hard into the screen]

How the heck do I... how am I supposed to work this thing? Is it like a phone? One of those new video phone things or...

[pause]

Oh, it's recordin'. Okay. Well uh... not sure if anybody can hear this but I'd really like to know where I am. Some woman gave me lunch and shoved me outside when I woke up this morning, but that's not really important. What I really wanna know is where I woke up.

Hello? Anybody listenin'?

[he frowns]

There's no way this is Maine.

[he resists the urge to say "I have a feeling I'm not in Kansas anymore", because this isn't the time at all]

Well, what are you worrying? It's got its moments, but it's not too bad.

I guess I'm just worried it's like this place I went to once, a couple of months ago. It was full of monsters, and there were these cultists who broke my legs. Stuff like that.

[he makes a face at the memory]

This place have anything like that?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Monsters and cultists...? Um, well, most of the monsters are friendly. Geez, is he Heather's neighbor or something?

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

Friendly monsters? Now I've seen everything.

[he shakes his head in disbelief]

Yeah, monsters and cultists. Place called Silent Hill. It's awful there I... just don't go there if you're ever in Maine, okay?

Si--

Wait, do you know Heather?!

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we were friends back home. Probably wouldn't have gotten outta that place alive at all if it wasn't for her.

And you know Heather?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's one of my best friends.

[video]

[and a bright smile comes over Douglas' face at that, and he looks quite a bit younger]

That's great. I'm glad to hear Heather has friends here. I was worried about her.

[a pause]

Oh, I'm Douglas Cartland, by the way. Guess I forgot to introduce myself.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I'm Rise Kujikawa! It's nice to meet you.

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

[he gives her a small smile]

Nice to meet you, too.

You seem like you've been here for a while. Hope I'll end up as seasoned as you one day.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about that? That'll just mean you'll have been stuck here for ages.

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

That's okay. This place sure beats anything I've got waitin' for me back home, so I don't mind too much.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I guess it would, huh? I don't blame you.

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

Guess there're worse places to end up, right?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Right! Loads worse!

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

This place sure beats home, too. [a laugh]

Stuff here's so... colorful.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

And crazy... but not in the bad way.

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

[he nods, chuckling]

Never thought I'd run across the good kinda crazy, but you're right on the money with that one.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Isn't Heather the good kinda crazy?

[video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

[he laughs warmly at that]

Yeah, I guess you're right. Can't even think of a better example myself.
