⊱ first vision | video

[ The screen snaps on, revealing one magnified blue eye. It snaps off for a minute, then turns on once again to reveal a dirt-stained face at a far enough distance to catch his whole visage. He looks annoyed, to say the least. Brow furrowed, lip curled in mild frustration.

Then the screen shuts off again.

But the blank screen is suddenly accompanied by a harsh SCREECH, followed by the loud two-beat thump of someone hitting the side of the device. There's another loud screech, as the device is pushed away in frustration, accidentally turning on once more to reveal a clear picture of Ben Hawkins, looking down at the device. ]

—— Future ain't nothing but a goddamn piece of shit.

Yeah? Tell me why I shouldn' toss this scrap of junk.

Because, this scrap of junk is how you communicate here. By the way, I'm Taylor, if you need anything at all.

Ain't that kinda dumb? Offerin' help to a stranger like that?

You're just a voice.

Not here, it's not. Or, I guess, either way, it could be anywhere but it's not right now. You're simply reacting to the horrible state of being pulled from your world out of nowhere. I've been there, too. We all have.

And, as for my voice, I can assure you there's a body that goes with it.

Not reacting to nothing. Been here a week already. It s'all plain common sense.

We all talk to strangers everyday. Voices without faces? That's different.

The City may be a lot but common sense, it isn't.

I got it. [ He fidgets, rubbing a hand against his forehead. ] You know a way out, girl?

[ A raise of the eyebrow. ] Taylor - we'll get there. And as for a way out, there isn't one. Usually the most jarring news. That and curses but usually an explanation of curses is eased into and I'm just flailing and throwing the word curses around so that's...my...bad.
