[The video starts with a woman typing away on a laptop only pausing to check her phone before resuming her work. It almost looks like she has no idea that she's being recorded until she looks straight into the camera.]

Is there any way to pull a video off the community so you can share it elsewhere? I've been trying for hours, but I'm hardly an expert. [She pauses a second, as if realizing something, and then laughs.] I'm sorry. I shouldn't be asking for help without a proper introduction first. My name is Miranda Tate. It's nice to meet all of you.

[These duplicates are getting downright upsetting now... Ariadne looks shocked, frightened even.]

Miranda? That's really your name?

[worthinvesting]

[She can see that. Miranda looks appropriately both concerned and confused by that.]

Yes. May I ask what's troubling you?

[archicheck]

...could you just wait a moment?

[She goes off screen and there's the smallest sound of something tipping over. A moment later she returns.]

I'm sorry. I just had to...check something. It's just that you look very familiar.

[worthinvesting]

It's alright. [Just curious.] Have we met somewhere before? You don't look familiar to me.

video;

[archicheck]

No. I don't think we have after all.

[She shakes her head and attempts a smile.] My name is Ariadne. I'm sorry for the strange introduction.

[worthinvesting]

No harm done. Am I right to assume you don't want to discuss the reason I'm so familiar to you, Ariadne?

[justforyou]

It shouldn't be impossible.

[worthinvesting]

Then you know how to do it?

[justforyou]

I ask Oriko.

...or Google. Google works, too.

[worthinvesting]

I don't think this site is listed on Google.

[justforyou]

That'd be too easy, wouldn't it?

There are plenty of programs that can download YouTube videos so maybe one of them can be edited.

[not_that_lockon]

I've never really had to try before, but don't they have sites and stuff that can rip videos off of places for download?

Alternatively, see if one of the community's hackers could help out, I guess.

[worthinvesting]

They do. I've been trying them without any real success. I will just have to wait for one of them to show up.

[not_that_lockon]

Huh. Guess the community's not a sharing-and-caring site when it comes to vids.

I'm Lyle, by the way. Pleasure to meet you, Miranda.

[worthinvesting]

So it seems.

Hello, Lyle. Thank you for the warm welcome.

[not_that_lockon]

No problem.

So what's so interesting about the video you've been trying to pull, anyway?

[dulacaun]

Hmm, if ripping it won't work... Maybe try playing it, and recording from your own screen? Like a livestream.

Of course, considering the community, who knows if that's even possible.

[worthinvesting]

A livestream wouldn't work for this.

The first person who responded doesn't seem to think so either. I am starting to believe her. None of my attempts to rip it have succeeded.

[dulacaun]

Ah, that's too bad... I can't really think of any other way, apart from them becoming a part of the community. Have you tried showing it to them yet? It sounds strange, but there's a chance that the community will just accept them.

[worthinvesting]

No, I have not. I didn't want to raise their hopes if I couldn't deliver anything. Perhaps I'll risk it to see what happens.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Usually people want to ignore the videos on the community.

video.

[worthinvesting]

I'm not in the habit of doing what's expected. Besides, I have an interest in this one.

[thatsmyyogurt]

Care to say which one?

video forever.

[worthinvesting]

That depends. Do you want to know because you intend to help me or are you simply curious?

[text forever]

Sometimes the community posts videos that look like they're shot by someone in the world, and sometimes it looks like it's shooting a movie for the rest of us. Which kind your video is could mean there are already copies somewhere or not.
