[network] @TW; Video; Day 12 [open, cw for corpses and horrible]

My voice is back.

[ Though for those who've heard Tim's voice before, it sounds much more hoarse than usual. Still, any voice is better than no voice! ]

I'm gonna - [cough cough] - I'm going to upload a video in a second. Some stuff I found yesterday. Kids shouldn't watch it. People who're already - you know, already freaked out by everything shouldn't watch either. It's not... I mean, it's. It isn't anything good, is what I'm saying. So.

[ He could try and filter the video away from those parties, but the thought doesn't sit well with him. The last time he tried to hide secret video footage from someone it kind of backfired spectactularly and people got killed and Tim got sent here by Tall McDarkandfaceless and everything was awful. He'd rather not repeat that, thanks. ]


[ When the promised video begins, it doesn't look very interesting. The camera is trained on the ground, where someone has been digging at the snow and dirt to reveal a layer of smooth pebbles. The cameraman - Tim, obviously, though he can't be seen - kneels in the snow, picks up a handful of the pebbles and brings them closer to the tablet. It's a little hard to make out since they're covered in dirt, but each of the stones is speckled in something that looks very much like dried blood.

The tablet is then propped up against something on the ground, showing a better view of the surroundings: a park complete with playground equipment. Tim walks back into shot, crouches, and resumes digging. After a minute or two he stops, a puzzled expression on his face, and pulls at something in the hole to get a better look at it.

There's a strangled gasp of breath that might have been an attempt at a scream, and Tim drops the thing like it's on fire. People with sharp eyes (or who pause the footage) will see that it was a human arm, dismembered just above the elbow. Tim scrambles out of view and the video briefly goes black as he turns off the tablet.

When the video resumes, it seems Tim has been busy. The view is panning across the ground again, revealing several patches that have been dug up to reveal frozen corpses. Some are bloody and horribly wounded, while others appear to have died less violently - the only thing they seem to have in common is that they're all remarkably well-preserved. And remarkably dead. That too.

Also worth noting is that the video is distorted badly. It's warped and stretched as if it's being tugged on at the edges, and there's a large amount of visual tearing evident in the footage. There isn't exactly a lot to be heard - wind noises and muted, huffy coughs - but the little audio that's there sounds tinny and distorted as well. It doesn't really make the fact that there's a mass grave in the fucking park any less horrifying, unfortunately.

After half a minute or so, the video cuts out. Mercifully.

[ It's not like Haku hasn't heard that tone before..

.. for obvious reasons, really.

But that doesn't mean he understands just why exactly it's directed at him in this situation, that's for sure. Otherwise he would have quit while he was ahead. ]


Is it a weird question? [ Completely genuinely asked, yes. It's not him being a little shit for the heck of it, even if he can be at times. ]

But if we don't investigate them, we might never find out what happened here.

[ Nope, the genuine tone is still going on. Because this seems very elementary to Haku, whose view of the world is.. just a little different, as one can see... ]

I'd come over and look at them, but I'm not a doctor. [ He's sort of trained though, so he might tell a thing or two, but he's still not a real doctor. He doesn't doubt someone who is could tell a lot more than he could.

But at least he doesn't sound like he's being repelled at the thought of dead bodies at all, huh. ]

[ Yeah, see, that's the exact problem right there. Practically being brought up around people who exactly didn't think that way tends to make you end like this.

Haku doesn't say anything about that though, instead focussing on the last point. ]


You don't think someone might take them away now we've found them? [ Or something. Whatever. ]
jinxings: (i don't know where i am)

There's a few options.

[ A few.. casual options, apparently, since he just continues on in the same tone. ]

Either, like you said, they were hidden from the admin and they might come to retrieve the corpses now they know they're here. But there's also the possibility that the admin already knew they were there-- and either they were hidden from us and they just didn't expect someone to come digging here, or they were left these purposefully to try and freak us out, and they'll want to remove those things before we can gather too many clues from them.
