Feather 17 [Video]

[ The video clicks on to a view of the ceiling in one of the rooms of the Blackthorn Inn. The fan is slowly circling, and the only other thing visible in the frame is an arm reaching straight up from slightly off screen, holding up a Rising Badge. ]

We've already figured out that collecting a whole set of badges doesn't actually get you anything of value, right? Or did that finally change while I wasn't looking?

[ Joshua sighs, and the arm lowers out of the feed. There's the sound of it hitting the bed, and the camera shakes just the slightest. ]

You'd think that after I spent this long collecting them, I'd feel prouder at finally winning the last one. Mmm, perhaps this isn't really for me after all.

[ After a pause, he giggles. Then he rolls over and leans over the Gear, his face finally entering the camera's view. ]

How about this? Tell me about the worst thing that happened to you at home that you're still willing to talk about. Even if it doesn't seem to compare to what others have been through. Tragedy is quite relative, after all.

[This was probably a long time coming, but she


rolls her eyes.]

I already know that it was stupid and a mistake. [But she had to do it or else character development wouldn't have happened.] That's why it's the worst thing that happened, right? Because it was my fault my friend was injured so badly.

Not necessarily. You could have looked at it as being completely deserved, and instead answered with something that was inflicted upon you without prompting. "The worst thing that happened to you" instead of "the worst thing you caused", as it were.

So we're arguing semantics. Then maybe I'm spoiled, because that is definitely the worst thing that's happened to me in my life.

[Or she just doesn't want to tell him anything else., which she doesn't, not exactly. It's rude to just dump all of your personal life on someone you don't even know, whose motivations you don't even know at that.]

Why do you want to know about things that were inflicted upon others anyway?

[ But Josh likes semantics! ]

Curiosity, of course, hee hee.

[ /totally innocent what are you talking about. ]
