[network; video] @MarbleHornets; ERROR [day 006]

[snowblindmods]

There's a horrific metallic screech, with a video displaying only the floor of the elementary school for a few moments. Then, it rises, showing a much more intact school than the current travelers would be used to.. Two unknown people are speaking, both women.

"Are you seeing that?"

"No I--wait, yes. What are those?"

"Get it on video, quick."

The display jerks down another hallway. None of the lights are on; the only point of light is the distant illumination of the other end of the hallway, where the lights still work. Shadows seem to shift and twitch--no, shadows are shifting and twitching. Darker than the gloomy surroundings, humanoid shadows can be seen. They're twitching and wandering aimlessly in the middle of the hallway.

Once the camera really focuses on them, though, their heads all turn at once to face it. And, with torn apart voices, they begin to scream.

The video ends.

I can tell you I've never seen those things on the video before. I don't know any more about what's going on with those than anyone else here. As for what I DO know, I'm not keeping any secrets that might put people in danger. If it looks like it's going to be relevant here I'll tell people what they need to know.

[...Goddammit, he could argue his point, he could raise a big stink about it, but getting involved in that kind of conflict wouldn't be setting a good example for everyone else. They're not here to throw accusations and be wary of one another. Clayton isn't about that.]

[He takes a minute or so to calm down and more carefully choose his words.]

Okay. I will trust you on that. Please don't prove me wrong later.

[genreblindness]

I won't.

And I really don't get where all this distrust is coming from anyway. You're making it sound like I know all these huge secrets or something when I really don't.

[dr_unconscious]

The distrust is coming from you refusing to give out your name and being intentionally vague when people ask for your help. Trust goes both ways, buddy. It's a lot to ask for people to go in blind like that.

[genreblindness]

I'm not refusing to help anyone, ok. Just because I don't like to share stuff about myself doesn't mean I'm holding out on things that would be helpful to people.

[dr_unconscious]

I know you're not. It's not me that you need to convince. I'm just trying to give you a different perspective, because I can tell you right now that my support isn't going to be enough in the long run.
