[ The camera turns on to show what appears to be a kitchen -- or possibly a living room -- and is propped upright on a table, showing two people sitting at it with somewhat sour expressions: Reggie Mantle and Sasha Blouse.

Laid before Sasha is a blank piece of paper, a pencil in her hand that she idly drums against the surface of the table.
]

Hello! It’s Sasha again. I— [ She wrinkles her nose when she has to correct herself. ] we have a few questions to ask other imPorts. It’s for a school assignment so if a few people could answer our survey and help us out I would be very grateful!

[ Reggie’s brow furrows slightly and he sits back in his chair, making it evidently clear he would rather not be there. Restlessly he taps a pen as well, against the edge of the table with a sort of frantic impatience. ]

Yeah. We’re supposed to represent the "imPort experience" for about a quarter of our grade -- not that there’s any way they could check if we just decided to make it all up.

[ At that, he shoots a pointed look in Sasha’s direction, the person forcing him not to cheat. ]

I’m not getting another Saturday detention for this. We could’ve done this earlier, but you were procrastinating on it.

Well, that’s only ‘cause unlike you I actually got a social life. This is a waste of time. [ He gestures at the camera, looking at it briefly before looking back over at her. ] It’s not like everyone out there's just sitting around waiting to answer questions so that we can get an “A” on some dumb project. I mean, maybe if they’re bored enough-- here, I’ll read 'em, what do you got so far?

[ See, he’s participating! He grabs the paper from her, then frowns at its relative emptiness.

Sasha frowns when he snatches the paper from her, reaching to take it back.
]

What social life? [ She mutters under her breath, glaring at him sharply. ] If you wanted to be doing something else we should have finished this earlier. Jeez, I should have asked for another partner...

Like anyone else would want you for a partner. You didn’t even write anything down -- if I’d known that I wouldn’t’ve started recording yet!

Nobody would want you for a partner because you’re a lazy jerk! And I was going to, but you took the paper away!

Okay, I’ll make one up. [ Reggie looks at the camera again, eyebrows raised. ] Which is worse: being lazy, or being stupid? Uh -- right: As an imPort.

Arrrgh, you...!

[ Sasha jolts in her seat, lifting an arm and throwing a sharp and surprisingly quick fist directly between Reggie’s eyes without as much as a second thought. Reggie barely has time to do anything, managing only a surprised noise of pain and an instinctive jerk backwards, which along with Sasha’s punch causes his chair to teeter precariously and almost spill him off it. Almost. ]

Hey, you’re welcome for doing all the work so far! [ His hands are over his face, clutching it in pain, and when he lowers them there’s already swelling around one eye. ] What was that f--

[ But he’s interrupted by a large dog galloping in from a different room, attracted by the sound of their voices; it jumps on Reggie, who screams and falls over as the dog tries to lick his face. It’s the friendliest dog but that doesn’t mean Reggie stops screaming from the floor. ]

I was wondering! 'Cause that's not a very homework-y question. Usually it's like describing feelings or talking about specific dates.

Maybe I'll just make up responses if we can't get it done in time.

[ She sighs. ]

Don't listen to Reggie. He's got his head in other places.
glitterateur: and now my fish are feeding on it. (Someone jizzed into my aquarium)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-14 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
I think that'd be okay! Since you're imPorts too, so whatever you say's representing the imPort experience.

[True academic slacker logic right there.]

What's he thinking about?
huntergames: (ha!)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I said, but he said we have to talk to other imPorts. I don't think he would know if we cheated a little.

[ Her head turns so she can cast her gaze on Reggie who is still being kissed to death by the dog.

A mischievous grin before she lowers her tone in an attempt to imitate Reggie's voice: ]


"Wow, this dog is the best! I was wrong about them the whole time!"
glitterateur: sugarplums (Andre! get us some horses.)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-14 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Technically you talk to other imPorts all the time, probably! Plus, psh, teachers.

[Mabel laughs. It's a solid imitation, plus he's not really suffering all that much.]

That puppy looks like the best! Is he yours?
huntergames: (:3)

This one doesn't let me go to the bathroom. It's cruel!

[ Her affect changes immediately at the question, a smile on her face now. ]

No, but I wish! We get along pretty well.

They sound like a tyrant! Down with this teacher.

--so are you just babysitting?
huntergames: (seriously reiner get out of my icons)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Or dogsitting. I guess it's the same...

Um, Will's offering to adopt him for me, but I dunno yet!
glitterateur: sugarplums (that is some fatherly shit)

Ohh! If he does then the dog'll have a ton of friends at least. I hope he likes raccoons.
huntergames: (WASN'T ME)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! But he's a hunting dog... do you think he would hurt them?
glitterateur: sugarplums (it would have been SUCH a deal)

video

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-14 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
...possibly! I mean raccoons are pretty smart, they'd escape up a tree? He's got other dogs, maybe he's really good at training them not to do that kind of thing.
huntergames: (whoa reiner get out of here)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so! I don't want those raccoons getting hurt. They're very nice, did you know? One time I was sick and one of them held my hair back for me.
glitterateur: aces (¿dónde están los thunder lizards?)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-14 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Aw! Awww, what a helper! Did Will send it over or do they just know when someone's in need?
huntergames: (explain)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I guess they just know. I was over and ate too many marshmallows.
glitterateur: aces (B section is all butt stuff.)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-14 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mabel nods the nod of understanding. She's been there. She's eaten that.]

The worst pain of all.
huntergames: ("comicgate")

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It was like I wanted to throw up, but couldn't for a while... and then I did and it was awful.
glitterateur: aces (They double ballooned me!)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-14 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
One time I ate an entire vat of industrial sprinkles and the same thing happened. There's a lesson here!
huntergames: (are you high....)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Sprinkles can do that, too?
glitterateur: sugarplums (that is some fatherly shit)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-15 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It was like the ultimate betrayal.
huntergames: (jesus almighty)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-16 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that the worst? When something so delicious does something so terrible to you? Like cheese... it's really good, but too much of it isn't...!
glitterateur: chesswar (We are all the majestic ones!)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-16 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I think the secrets variety! Like you have a whole bunch of delicious things and they won't do this to you.
huntergames: in a japanese made movie (aot fandom whining about japanese cast)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-17 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
What foods do you eat that never upset your stomach?
glitterateur: aces (I do other activities besides chill.)

[personal profile] glitterateur 2015-12-17 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh.... popcorn? Oranges? Vegetables, when people make me eat them....
huntergames: (hella cute)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of the fruit here doesn't make me sick now that I think about it. Even the ones I've never had before, like pineapple.

... you don't like vegetables?
