VIDEO --> AUDIO

[ At first, imPorts are greeted to a nice, long look at the Narrator’s face. He is, by all means, the most non-descript imPort here: he is a bland looking white man wearing black rimmed glasses, and a brown tweed suit, with a square jaw and pronounced cheekbones. There is little unattractive about him, but little attractive about him either. He looks, curiously, like a stock photo of a British man, like a professor or a doctor in one, irrelevant scene in a movie, or in Hollywood, a Leading Man.

As soon as he realizes the video function is on, he switches to voice, and what comes out of him is a deep, urbane British accent, with the air about him that he’s laughing at some private joke that nobody else could possibly get.

Perhaps he’s laughing at you. ]


Well. This is a different sort of game I have found myself in, isn’t it? It’s shabby and poorly constructed in a few areas, but this, this story is workable. Less philosophical, but all that means is that I have my work cut out for me. I must admit, I wasn’t altogether pleased when I found myself here, but improvisation isn’t a lost art, not so long as I have something to say about it. Hmmm.

[ There’s a rustling of paper. ]

What it lacks in cohesiveness, a true beginning and end, it makes up for with its cast. You’re quite an interesting bunch, aren’t you? An ensemble cast, if you will. I must do some catching up, but I already see plenty of colour. Prodigious use of capslock - always a sign of an unstable mind, if you ask me - advertising for psychiatric help, which will never work on the truly deranged, unnecessary chatter about holidays meant only to provide some framework to the dull morass of days that makes up one life, and -- ass eating? Oh, my. That's going to up our ratings.

I'll make the best of it regardless. We're going to have an awful lot of fun together, you and I.

Eh? I'm 'fraid I ain't signed up for any of this, mate.

[So says the very confused pirate staring into the video. Those wide brown eyes narrow in suspicion. It seems this creep here is an odd one.]

Arse...eating? Yuck?! Donkeys don't taste particularly good, mister.

3/3

...That was a bit of over sharing, mate. This conversation has crossed so many lines and territories that I feel somewhat violated and halfway to Singapore.

Damn right friends don't be eatin' arse all willy nilly! Either donkey or otherwise but your delivery of the truth is less than stellar. Savvy?

[There's a long pause that follows.]

Hold on there, mate. How in Poseidon's beard did ye know me name?
