[network] @Mnemosyne; video; night 227; history will judge us [open]

[Beckett starts the feed sitting huddled in a corner against a wall that's been burned a featureless black. He's not wearing his tinted glasses, and both his look and voice are flatly composed, distant.]

I am going to start recording everything. Simply leave this thing on at all times. We are losing too much information to patchy and inaccurate records in a way that is simply inexcusable considering the means we have access to. I strongly recommend that you all do the same. [He pauses, then nods half to himself.] If nothing else then for those who will come after us. Eventually.

[So optimistic, Beckett.]

Do let me know if you would like to receive regular transmissions of my records. And if you have, and are willing to use the means to put some of them on SD cards that may be preserved in the event of lost access to our iteration of the network. There is... a certain comfort in the thought of posterity, in my experience. Such as it is.

[Such as it is. He wrinkles his nose at the thought, and puts the tablet aside, though the recording keeps running. After a bit of time, he picks it up again and adds a text message, along with an attached file: TheBookOfNod.txt]

The file I am attaching is the complete text of the Book of Nod: the mytho-historic principle document of the Cainites, namely, the vampires of my world, transcribed from memory. I doubt this is of particular interest to anyone, but my physical copy was recently destroyed, and as far as I am aware, that was the last copy in existence. My purpose here is thus its preservation as a text. I am the last record of my Kindred. Let something remain.



[OOC: I didn't want to directly link one but if anyone's interested for whatever reason it's actually really easy to google up an online copy of Vampire the Masquerade's Book of Nod. I'm sorry it's so painfully 90s.]

Noted. How come you haven't taken to round the clock recording yet? Afraid you'll show us something embarrassing?

[Don't mind him, he's in a deep dark pit, and Kunsel is always good for some uplifting snark.]

[deus_ex_phs]

It's called mercy, Beckett. I'm sparing Norfinbury from being subjected to round the clock recording of Zack, Zell, and Jim.

[You wanted uplifting snark?]

[bookofnope]

Fair point. What we get is already more than enough. Zack would be doing those squats at every waking hour if he had an audience.

[deus_ex_phs]

You know he would. He's already done it once, though that might have been before you got here.

[More than squats, in fact. Beckett missed out on Zack's blatant butt clench.]

[bookofnope]

At least I was spared one of this town's horrors.

[deus_ex_phs]

Spoken like a guy who's seen too much already.

Then again, you did see Zack naked.

not here; fffffff YOU TWO

[heroproceeding]

[ He sees this, bro. You're supposed to be on his side.

SO RUDE. 8| ]

Not here either
