Video | from the blogs of Georgia and Shaun Mason, Entry #007
[The camera angle is weird. It’s a wide shot, showing a few rooftops, all flat and all at least a few stories tall. The sort of rooftops that one would not want to fall off, were one a reasonable, rational human being.
Shaun is… well. Human, for sure. And usually he’s more rational than he lets on. Today? Not so much. That becomes clear when he turns the camera to show his face. The face that grins at the camera is definitely Shaun Mason, but it’s also about a decade and a half too young.
Not that Shaun knows this. He’s ten years old, exactly like he should be, clearly.]
Hey everyone! Shaun Mason here, to show you really exciting urban survival skills. I mean, there are no zombies around right now, but you never know in this place. And there’s other stuff that shows up wanting to ruin your day too, so this’ll probably work for that too!
[A grand sweeping gesture.] Today we’re going to talk about roof hopping and parkour!
[Someone stop him.]
[That’s Georgia’s job. And here she comes, hands on her hips, sunglasses perched firmly on her nose, and flying up behind him. Because it turns out she can fly? This is new, but she’s also ten years old, and while she has many questions they aren’t urgent enough to keep her from flying up to the roof to yell at her brother.]
Shaun Philip Mason if you fall off a roof and I have to shoot you in the head, I’m going to tell everyone about the pudding incident and you won’t be able to stop me, cause you’ll be dead.
[And also she’d be miserable without him, but even at ten she shies away from showing that much vulnerability.]
You wouldn’t! [Small affronted and shocked child looks entirely betrayed. And then back to the camera.] Pay no attention to my fun-murdering sister. Who can fly and it’s not even a little fair. [He mutters the last part before grinning again, still trying to be camera ready.]
No one’s falling off a roof. That’s the opposite of what we’re doing here.
Shaun. [And a hint of a whine enters George’s voice. More emotion than she’d ever let show as an adult.] Come on.
[She floats over and lands next to him. She frowns at the camera, then turns back to him.]
What if I take you flying instead?
[So the thing is, he’s already going to give in, because George is using that tone, and he doesn’t like being the reason George is using that tone. His sister is his most important person. But then she makes that offer and his grin is back.]
Deal!
[And to the camera.] Change of plans! Today we’re gonna do a bird’s eye view of everything! And it’s gonna be awesome.
I didn’t say the entire internet could come along. [The sunglasses hide her eye roll, but the grumble is still clear in her voice. She hooks her arms under his armpits, and takes off into the sky.]

action;
And he is also riding on a pale sword. Like one would a skateboard, sort of, only this one is flying in the air. His posture, hands clasped behind his back, doesn't suggest how fresh this ability is for him and how precarious his control, but he had to check up on them. ]
Are you two all right?
[ ... Because that is important, right? ]

[Life. It is so unfair. Shaun slumps in George's hold and sighs.]
We're fine. My sister has awesome super hero powers and she's sharing.
[He swings his camera over to film the boy just hanging out on a flying sword.] That's pretty sick, by the way. Definitely awesome.

[She nods at the other boy, shifting her grip on Shaun.]
We're fine. We do well on our own.

Uh. George? Shaun?

Oh goodie. A fan.

No. I've just met you guys... before.
Your memories are gone? How old are you?
no subject
We meet a lot of people, okay? It isn't personal.
