[ 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. ]

[ THE DOG COULD FALL OFF?! ]

Don't put it on the roof!
huntergames: (WASN'T ME)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? But you told me to!
dumbfound: (All the misery was necessary)

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, but now don't listen to me!

[ Wait... ]

No, uhm... listen to me right now, but not what I said before. So only partly don't listen to me?
huntergames: and eat a hot dog (everybody just chill the fuck out)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to put anything on the roof... I think the landlord would get mad anyway.
dumbfound: (Behind their eyes)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. They probably would...
huntergames: (how do i children)

video

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. I'll figure something out!
dumbfound: (I can feel the draw)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
What if...

[ There's just a good several seconds of silence here until Sasha decides to speak again.

He didn't actually have another idea, he just wanted to sound like he did :(
]
huntergames: (whoa reiner get out of here)

video

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
What if...?

[ She waits nearly a minute for his response before it dawns on her he's got nothing. ]

... what?
dumbfound: (I can feel it pulling me back)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know.

[ Thanks, Junseo. ]
huntergames: (you want to put it where mikasa)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Um, that's fine! I need to ask Laurie and it's a lot of money to adopt a dog, too... plus vet check-ups and food and other things.

[ Though not all of that is off-putting. She likes the idea of having a furry companion as she never had one back home. ]
dumbfound: (To see where it would fall)

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ That all sounds kind of discouraging to him. ]

Dogs are expensive?

[ So discouraging :( ]
huntergames: (eyes roll so far back into head)

video

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I know! It's not fair even if I understand why it is.
dumbfound: (I feel alive)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Does it cost even more because he's so big?
huntergames: (does everyone forget we're minors)

video

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
It would definitely because he eats more.
dumbfound: (She told me)

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't even reply with words to that, just this weird sound somewhere between an exasperated sigh and a distressed whine.

He's never going to be able to have a dog of his own.

huntergames: (how do i children)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
... Junseo? What's wrong?
dumbfound: (You're back inside my mind)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Why do they cost so much!?
huntergames: (whoa reiner get out of here)

video

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ A nervous laugh follows. ]

Uhh, because medicine for them is expensive, for example! The vets don't get it for free, I don't think...
dumbfound: (Running away from you)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-14 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's stupid though, it doesn't cost that much for me to go to the doctor.

[ Because his country has universal health care. This does not extend to dogs, but that doesn't occur to him. ]
huntergames: (errr...)

video

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-14 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't get it completely either.
dumbfound: (Hey it's my time to shine)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-18 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Why can't everything just be free anyway?
huntergames: (jesus almighty)

video

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-19 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I wish a lot of things were, but then I guess there wouldn't be jobs?
dumbfound: (The deeper the thoughts)

video

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-19 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ A pause. ]

Oh yeah... if things were free then I definitely wouldn't work.
huntergames: (abigail who)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-12-19 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
What is it you do again?
dumbfound: (Don't worry what they say about us)

[personal profile] dumbfound 2015-12-21 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I work at a hotel. I carry people's bags for them. It's boring, but I need money.
