Video | un; thief

[burnyoudown]

[The video opens to a boy no older than eighteen, sitting on the floor in a living room that has no furniture in sight, wearing white-rimmed sunglasses (yes, indoors...) and nursing a bloody nose. Despite that, he grins.]

What the fuck is up, fuckers?

[He's...amiable, actually. Sounds like he's in a good mood.]

Hope you're not squeamish at the sight of blood. [His nose isn't bleeding that badly, anyway, and he dabs at it now and then with a tissue.] Some dickhead tried to mug me in town, but it's all good.

So what's the deal here? Gimme whatever information you've got on this place.

[It's not every day he wakes up on a train in the middle of who-knows-where after all.]

Also, tell me you guys know how to have fun here because looking at the buildings... yikes.

I've got a question for you, since you're a new arrival.

Just something I've been keeping track of. Nothing that's going to illuminate shit any time soon but a hunch I've got...

Any chance you're an orphan who's got special abilities?

[burnyoudown]

[He couldn't help but laugh. He might as well have been an orphan for all his parents cared about him, but-]

No. Why, are there a lot of orphans with superpowers here?

[Nevermind that he had special abilities; he wasn't about to go talking about that with the first person who asked.]

[bargain_batman]

Something like that, yeah.

[ Diego eyed Kavinksy, knowing they'd just met...if it could even be called meeting via the network. Ultimately, Diego decided to keep an eye on the kid from a distance rather than press the subject at the moment. ]

I'll put you down as one of the exceptions.

[burnyoudown]

Maybe whatever's in charge of bringing us here has abandonment issues.

[And was trying to make up for it by kidnapping orphans. Or it was trying to build some kind of fucked up army or family.]

What does bring us here?

[bargain_batman]

[ He arched a brow at the kid. Kavinsky sounded like he could be onto something. ]

Nobody knows. I haven't been here long but that's an answer I've been trying to find out since day one.

[ Maybe not day one. Diego did think it was his time traveling brother who caused him to arrive in Haven. ]

[burnyoudown]

[Kavinsky usually had good ideas. No, that was a complete lie; most of his ideas were terrible and reckless.]

Great. If anyone ever figures it out, I'd like to have a word with whoever's responsible.

[Or whatever, as the case might be.]

[bargain_batman]

You and me both, Kid.

Until then. [ Diego dipped his head. ] I'll see you around.
