[Today, DramaDramaDuck is streaming a rather strange video post: it's filming a dark, cavernous cave from the ground up. At first, the place appears to be empty, but if one looks closely they might notice that the darkness is actually moving-- tendrils of shadow swirl through the air, occasionally flicking close to the camera. Not long after, slow, quiet footsteps can be heard, followed by...]

What...?

[It's low and muttered, and the speaker clearly isn't expecting a response; the feed shakes suddenly as the device is picked up, and then it goes black.]

Gonna say it's the rest of us that're crazy? Crazy people usually say shit like that...

[Video]

[fearbringer]

I'm currently reserving judgement.

[Video]

[material_guy]

That's a smart move. It'll be easier to handle everything if you make nice.

[Video]

[fearbringer]

Sorry, I don't do that.

[Video]

[material_guy]

You're a real contrary guy, huh?

[Video]

[fearbringer]

I don't think so.

Not automatically declaring you all crazy doesn't make me nice.

[Video]

[material_guy]

See? There you go contradicting again.

[Video]

[fearbringer]

You really have a bizarre and narrow definition of niceness.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Think of it as broad, since it don't take too much. Anyway, I ain't kidding that if you don't piss no one off, it'll be easier on you when shit goes down.

[fearbringer]

The last thing I am is afraid of the people here.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Don't get the wrong idea, it ain't the people that'll cause you problems.

[Video]

[fearbringer]

You sure made it sound like they were.

[Video]

[material_guy]

The "community" and the "people in the community" are two completely different things. I can see how a first timer'd get mixed up. The people're basically cool. They're the ones who you'll be wantin' help from when the community---the community-community, not the people on it--starts givin' you shit. You seem like a guy who wants to think he's sharp. Just think of a little good will like a good investment.

[Video]

[fearbringer]

... I don't plan on asking any of you for help.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Not a very ambitious guy, huh? Not even for information, perks, all that?

[Video]

[fearbringer]

Make whatever assumptions you want; I don't care.

I work alone.

[Video]

[material_guy]

So callin' you a nice guy wasn't too far off the mark, huh? If you're above even usin' people!

[Video]

[fearbringer]

Like I said, you can think what you want.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Pfft... [After a few seconds of trying, or at least pretending to try to hold it in, he bursts out into a snicker.] Sure thing, Shady.

[Video]

[fearbringer]

Pitch.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Haa?

[Video]

[fearbringer]

It's Pitch, not Shady.

[Video]

[material_guy]

You look more like a Shady than a pitcher.

[Video]

[fearbringer]

... You're sort of an idiot, aren't you.

[Video]

[material_guy]

I get that a lot.
