001 [Action/Video]

[fabrecation]

[There's some irritated grumbling going on. Shuffle. Grumble. Shifting through leaves. Grumble. KICKING A TREE-]

Ow!

[... Grumble.

And now HI LUCETI, YOU'RE NOW SEEING THE BOTTOM OF SOMEONE'S FOOT. But it lifts up quickly, and in its place is a teenaged boy with short, scraggly red hair and green eyes staring curiously down at the journal. Aaand then it morphs an annoyed face.]

Man, this isn't even my journal... And where the hell did my shirt go?

[The person disappears and gives yet another grumble as he searches through some leaves... Then seems to resolve to find his way to the village, as his footsteps start to grow fainter and fainter. He may not know it, but he's going in the completely wrong direction of where he's supposed to go.]

[ Woah woah woah. That was a best friend he just saw. What the heck is this about? Damn it, he thinks. ]

Luke?!

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[THE FOREST KNOWS HIS NAME, WHAT. Luke spins back to face the... trees and leaves and journal that clearly belongs to someone else. No one there.]

... Yeah? [SUSPICIOUS TONE.]

[voice]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Do you know where you are right now?

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[This is weird, this is weird, who the heck is talking to him, Luke slowly goes toward the voice since this is just too weird.]

I'm in... some forest in the middle of nowhere, I guess...

[voice]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

[ Well, damn it. ]

Sounds about right. Listen, is someone coming to find you?

[voice]

[fabrecation]

Y-Yeah, I think so... [Aaand he stops at... the book? So, he slowly picks it up and holds it out in front of him.] ... Hello?

[voice]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the book. Pick it up. It's weird, but we communicate through them when we're not face to face.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[... Yeah okay this is weird.]

So it's like some kind of... [... Um. What WAS that thing called. He didn't exactly ask.] ... thing?

[voice]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

[ He chuckles a bit. ]

Yeah, some kind of 'thing', Luke. Keep it nearby you, but be careful not to open it when you don't want others to hear what you're doing, alright?

Uh, I guess I need to... yeah... I'm Haseo.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[Uhhh okay, he'll keep that in mind. More importantly...]

Haseo? Oh, I'm-... I guess you know my name? [The tone implies he wants to know how you know this. 8| ]

[voice]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Uh... you were here before... for longer than me, even. We were friends.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

... What? But I don't remember anything about this place! I don't remember- [You, but that'd be a little harsh, so he cuts himself off at that. Well this is kinda awk.]

[voice]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Don't worry... that... happens a lot.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

... I still feel like I should apologize, so... I'm sorry. I... wouldn't mind being friends with you again, if you wanted to.

[voice]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Che. Don't sound so bleak about it. We'd been through a lot, so I know, no matter what happens, we'll get along. I don't see why we can't be friends again.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[That makes him both feel better and worse. They'd been through a lot? But he doesn't remember any of it, and it feels like forgetting a gap in your life. But it's nice, knowing that someone wants to be friends with him despite that.]

... Thanks, Haseo.
