((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]

...you don't miss your friends? Or your family?
Video
Date: 2011-11-29 08:37 pm (UTC)I don't really have much of those, I guess. Most of my family's dead, same with friends. When you get to be this age, people start... ya know... succumbin' to old age. It's just natural. Heather's really the only friend I've got left.

Date: 2011-11-29 09:06 pm (UTC)Naw, it's okay. You come to expect it when ya get old. Death isn't so depressin' when you know they're probably better off.
Video
Date: 2011-11-29 09:20 pm (UTC)[She's never had anything or anyone die before. Even talking about it is strange.]
Video
Date: 2011-11-29 10:22 pm (UTC)And anybody ya lose is still with you, even if ya can't see 'em.

Date: 2011-12-01 09:17 pm (UTC)Really. It's like how it doesn't feel like you're really apart from somebody when they're on a trip or somethin' when you care about 'em, 'cause you still got 'em in your heart.
[he rubs the back of his head awkwardly]
Besides, death isn't the dark, tragic thing people think it is. It's actually kinda peaceful, from what I've seen over the years. And some people even say it's just the start'a your next life. So it's nothin' to be sad about.
Video
Date: 2011-12-02 12:37 am (UTC)[She gives a nod, understanding now.]
Well... that doesn't sound so bad, then!
Video
Date: 2011-12-02 08:49 pm (UTC)Yeah. And at least you've got a long time before ya gotta worry about it at all. You're still a youngster. [he chuckles]
Video
Date: 2011-12-04 12:05 am (UTC)I'm not young! I'm eighteen!
Video
Date: 2011-12-05 07:38 pm (UTC)Hey, I'm pushin' sixty in a couple'a years. Pretty much anything's young compared to me, right?
Video
Date: 2011-12-05 09:42 pm (UTC)[Rapunzel, that's nothing to be amazed over.]
Video
Date: 2011-12-06 06:44 pm (UTC)Yep, I'm gettin' up there. Nothin' wrong with bein' old though, right? Wish I was as wise as I should be for my age though.
Video
Date: 2011-12-09 10:19 pm (UTC)Video
Date: 2011-12-12 08:57 pm (UTC)Well, I guess I have learned a lot about stuff. I'm not gonna claim to be wise or anything, but it's hard not to have seen a lot at this age.
Video
Date: 2011-12-13 01:23 am (UTC)[Rapunzel likes to learn things.]
Video
Date: 2011-12-13 07:44 pm (UTC)Mostly stuff about solvin' crime, really. Never really cared about much else. But I can sure catch a bad guy, let me tell ya. [his smile is slightly proud]
Video
Date: 2011-12-15 04:30 am (UTC)Video
Date: 2011-12-15 04:49 pm (UTC)Yeah, bad men. Most of the time. Sometimes they were good men who did bad things, but I stopped 'em all the time.
But as a detective I mostly just find people who're missin'. Not so much crime-fightin' anymore.

Date: 2011-12-15 09:54 pm (UTC)Video
Date: 2011-12-16 09:51 pm (UTC)I think your mother's wrong. Sure, there are bad people, but there're a lot more good people than bad. There're people you can count on, and people who'll protect you.
And as for the bad guys,there's always somebody who'll stop 'em.
Video
Date: 2011-12-17 05:31 pm (UTC)[She's looking so hopeful right now.]
I haven't met any bad people in Johto so far... but... Mother must know what she's talking about...!
[So torn!]
