[even though the lighting is horrid, it's obvious that the video feed is taking place inside a prison cell. the figure of a large man is just barely visible sitting against the far wall. his hands and feet are shackled and a blindfold covers his eyes. for a long moment the only sounds are faint voices from babbling prisoners in cells far away. and then he speaks.]

Damn...

[the man stirs. he sighs.]

Damn...

I'm bored outta my mind.

I wanna hear a story.

... Aaaghhh... [he grinds his teeth before settling into a more comfortable position- as comfortable as he can get with his limbs bound, anyways. he speaks absentmindedly; not like there's anyone around to take his words into consideration, anyways.]

I could really use some good entertainment right now.

But- if you... cut off your arm. It would grow back for you. But then I could have the extra arm! And I can do it again and again for a free meal. See, this is why I like immortals.

[goddamnshit]

You have a weird way of thinking, girl.

[omnomsgods]

Nu-uh. My stomach has a weird way of thinking.

[goddamnshit]

Goddamnit, this is really pissing me off! How'm I supposed to tell if you're real or a figment of insanity?! Am I really that bored?!

[omnomsgods]

You can just believe me when I say I'm real. I see that you're real.

[goddamnshit]

I can't see anything! And I can't smell you, either!

[omnomsgods]

But you can hear me! Unyu, and stop shouting.

[goddamnshit]

[somewhere, a guard yells at him to shut up. the video goes to static for a brief moment before turning back on again.]

... I hear a lot of things. Who's to say your voice is or isn't real?

[omnomsgods]

No, it's real! It's definitely real!

[goddamnshit]

You wanna prove it?

Tell me a good story.

[omnomsgods]

[ oh god oh man- she's nervous now. lesse, a good story... ] E-to... One time there was this little bird...

[goddamnshit]

... [he's listening. this'd better not be a fairy tale where the wolf doesn't get his meal in the end. those ones suck.]

[omnomsgods]

And the little bird tried to fly up to the sun... [ another lengthy pause as she attempt to make up a story on the spot. it's easier than trying to recall one from memory. ]

[goddamnshit]

[gurl why u so slow]

[omnomsgods]

[ more time spent thinking, and then-! ] And others told the little bird she had to stay underground. The End!

[goddamnshit]

...

...

What, that's seriously it?

[omnomsgods]

It's a good story, huh?

[goddamnshit]

It's short, I'll give you that.

[omnomsgods]

I tried to make it longer. [ ...not the real reason for the pauses, but. ]

[goddamnshit]

Didn't seem like you put in all your effort.

[omnomsgods]

I put in a lot of effort!

[goddamnshit]

I've heard better stories.

[omnomsgods]

It's the best I could do on the spot.

[goddamnshit]

Heh, the first story I hear in years and it's not even three sentences long. I must be so frustratingly bored because I'm actually okay with that.

[omnomsgods]

Unyu, really? I'm glad!
