Hooooly shit. [It's a young girl on the screen, her face very, very close for a few seconds.] This one actually comes on. [It moves back and shakes as she excitedly checks it out.] These phones store music, right? [Some beeps fill in the silence as she tries to navigate the smart phone for the first time.] Pretty easy...

...Nothing. [She sighs, dropping the hand that's holding the phone so that the viewers get a good view of her levi'd leg and what looks to be an old, crumbling building she's in.] Pft, figures.

[All the while, she has no idea she's being recorded.] What the hell can I use it for now? A flashlight?

You're not bad with phones and computers and stuff, right?

Look, pal, I don't know what your town is like but there's no way they'd use generators to just run computers for us to play with.

Ah, it'll be a pain if you keep not getting it... [He picks up the webcam to turn it to show the computer sitting on his bar room table. On and functional. And with a weird feedback warp from the camera facing its own display.]

It'll be a lot quicker if you just understand how awesome I am right now. [And back to himself.] Got it?

...You must be somebody pretty high up but you don't really look it.

I'm so high up I don't even gotta dress up to impress no one.

Then you should know there's no way in hell I'd know how to use a computer.

[She pauses as if another thought came to her.] Pretty awesome glasses, though.

I know. I'm not dressin' to impress, but I've got a natural style like that.

What's the tattoo mean?

Nn? Ah, this? [He looks at his hand, then shrugs.]</small. Tattoos always gotta have meaning?

I guess not. It doesn't?

It does and it don't, I guess. Guess you could call it an old gang symbol from a group I ain't a part of, or maybe it's more like it's just my symbol now since I'm the best one out of all them...

[Gangs. Finally something she can relate to.]

Why'd ya leave? Find a better one?

Made a better one.

Gonna get another tattoo? I can help you make on.

You're a tattoo artist?

No. [She laughs. That would be quiet the picture.] But I should be able to draw something better than that.

Hnnn. I don't think I can get no more tattoos, 'n some people've already went 'n taken this as my symbol since I'm that much better than the rest of 'em who got it, but... It might be kinda fun to see what you can whip up.

I'll see if I can find some paper and come up with something. It'd be kind of cool, coming up with one.

Somethin' to look forward to.

Know what? Maybe not. I'd probably never get one, anyway.

Whyzzat?

Nooo thanks. Have you ever seen the guys giving them? [Oh..] Guess not in my world.

Why'd you leave your old gang anyway? Loyalty's supposed to be a big deal.
