[Network] @totheark; Video; Late Afternoon 103; In lieu of a restraining order... [Open]
*Sup Norfinbury, its time for creepy video sharing time!
It starts off with a shot of snow and rubble. How exciting! It stays on this for a bit, so its okay if one thinks this might be boring video sharing time at first. After a few more shots of snow and rubble and perhaps a bit more snow the video jumps to...something. Its too heavily distorted to see what, but the normal screen-pulling Norfinbury distortions are present as well as Brian's tearing and staticy distortions. And just in case you thought creepy, silent video wasn't enough there's a short but loud burst of a metal screeching sound.
The video then abruptly cuts to a shot of Clayton looking exhausted (from this entry, if anyone would recognize it). He's saying something but the sound has been removed and after a couple seconds the video jumps to a shot of: more snow!
The snow has "STAY AWAY" written in it. There's then a half second of static followed by a video of the funeral home's morgue...with the drawers popping open and the corpses sliding out. (This may also be familiar to some viewers. It cuts out before the light gets bad enough to break anyone's tablets, though.)
After another half second of static it returns to the previous shot, only now "FROM HIM" has been added to below "STAY AWAY." It stays on this message for a good ten seconds before cutting to a short, and heavily distorted, video of someone cutting open a stuffed monkey.
There are then a few seconds of creepy, distorted hospital hallways before the video shifts a final time. The last shot is of a wall (in building 143) with a numbers drawn on it in charcoal. It says "9513390313793583953179"
Aside from the burst of static near the beginning and some footsteps in the hospital hallways, the entire video is silent.*
((ooc: the cipher decodes to "i am watching."))

omfg audio
The ark mattered. His friend mattered. THAT was what was important Tim was--was just wrong.
Of course he was. He was a goddamned liar.
He flips his device over to audio and lets his voice drip with all the rage and pain Tim's ultimatum brought forth. Screw the rules, somethings were too important.*
I will not allow it.
no subject
And, as if it needs clarifying, not in the funny way. Take a moment to think about the cornucopia of shit that is Tim's life - a childhood spent in hospital, pretty much abandoned by his mom. Night terrors. Seizures, blackouts. Not knowing friendship until college, which lasted five minutes before everyone in his general vicinity died or lost their minds. The mess with Jay and Alex and Mr Crypticvideo himself. All this plus twenty years of being stalked by a life-ruining faceless fuckboi. It's a lot of shit.
And Tim has now lost it, because he's hearing Brian's voice for the first time in years. It's the voice of the first person to ever give a fuck about him, and it's pretty clear that said fuckgiving ship has sailed.
The reply takes a while, because Tim is kind of busy with the crying and choking and downing a double dose of pills to keep from blacking out. ]
lol
what's wrong ~buddy~
do we not like the idea of losing a friend
because ftr
that feeling
is at least ten times worse than you think it's gonna be
especially when you think it's your fault in even the tiniest way
idgaf what you're going to allow
I'll scrape it out of my head with a fucking ice cream scoop if that's what it takes
tl;dr
eat
my
entire
ass
private text - @claytonator
He doesn't understand.
private;
idk if that makes it better or worse
no subject
@gardenGnostic; text; private
im sorry :(
about all of this
[ GOOD START A+ ]
you probably dont want to hear this
especially not right now
but i think he DOES care about you
its just difficult for him to deal with stuff that isnt ark-related
and questioning the importance of it makes him, like....
existentially uncomfortable
ummm... im not excusing what he said or did or anything
you have every right to be mad!! he definitely knows what he is doing
and that it often hurts
uuughh, i dont even know what im trying to say
i just care a lot about both of you
[ Now all that's left is to testify that Clayton is indeed a Dick and possibly in the most gentle manner break it to Tim that she knows about his other masked bff. ]
private;
it's what he wants you to think
truth is he's invested in keeping me alive
sure
but not because he gives a flying fuck
see I still have a v important job to do back home
something brian's p enthused about me getting on with
(spoilers it's stabbing a guy in the goddamn neck)
[ Not that Tim can reference the actual reason Brian wants him alive lol it isn't like Jade has any idea about any masked doucheloAHAHAHAHA ]
no subject
he doesnt "want" me to think anything
he doesnt even know what HE thinks about stuff like this
and
ummmm
[ oh god oh god oh god ]
i know about..... the mask thing
and that they are kind of friends
im sorry
[ Sorry that she knows and he doesn't want her to? About this shitty situation? Life in general?? YES ]
no subject
ok first I'm p sure you're underestimating how manipulative he is
confused about some things sure
but still
manipulative
w/e I guess
grats on being an exclusive member of the "I know about other tim" club
apologies in advance for when he inevitably shitposts at you when I miss my meds or whatevs
no need to be sorry about knowing unless you plan on yelling about my psycho status in public repeatedly like dr hotpants does
no subject
but i promise i wont tell!!!
......for whatever thats worth
[ Just add House to Jade's list of People Who Require a Verbal Ass-Kicking. ]
i dont, like
think differently of you now
i dont think youre "psycho" or dangerous either
anyone who says otherwise is a huuuuuuge dick!! >:B
no subject
easy to say you don't think I'm psycho when you've not met the other guy yet
I mean technically I haven't either but by all accounts he's creepy as hell
ask jay
[ ow. ]
or uh don't
so
what did brian tell you exactly
about his ~friend~
or idk
things
no subject
if he is anything like brian im sure i have seen much creepier
and even if "psycho" wasnt practically meaningless it would apply to HIM, not you
anyway.... brian didnt say much
just that sometimes you are like him, and that its connected to the seizures
no subject
push you awayPROVE YOU WRONG!!!!!! ]uh-huh
not 100% how I'd put it but w/e that works
worth mentioning that I don't have plans to be a fulltime masked douche like our mutual pain in the ass
been living with this 20 years and I'm still me most of the time
so
I'll cut that thought off before you start fussing
action threadjack!!
Brian...?
no subject
The shout doesn't last long, though, and once he's done he apparently remembers he isn't alone and turns to Jade.*
no subject
[ Jade cringes at the shouting, then moves a bit closer. ]
Do you, um... need anything? [ Like, to talk about this, or a snack maybe?? Her posture is totally receptive to hugs. Just. For the record. ]
no subject
He just...shakes his head. There's nothing she can do. There's nothing he can do but keep moving forward. If Tim is going to be that insistent on destroying his friend he'll have to be at least twice as dedicated to keeping him alive.
It would be a lot easier if he wasn't still dealing with depressive issues from Beckett's death and the whole exposure effect no one understands.*
