ceiling_cat: looking away (sky's awful blue)

[005. video]

[The video jars on with a crunching noise, and a wild blur of sky and ground and wall, and then another crunch and blur before it hits the ground for a third time and comes to a stop. Good thing the PCDs are sturdy.

It steadies on a view of Hanekoma swinging in decreasing circles, upside down, one foot firmly caught in a man-sized rope snare.

Distantly, a good ear might make out some really imaginative swearing. Looks like he's found one of those shiny new traps. He struggles to get at his foot for several minutes, then his head turns, checking to either side, and a large pair of white wings unfold out of nothingness behind him.

A couple of seconds of energetic flapping shakes a couple palm-sized bits of down loose and gets him close enough to upright to slash that rope. His landing is nearly graceful, and he reaches down to pick up the PCD -

And then notices it's broadcasting.

For an instant, he looks furious, and then the expression is erased by a wry smirk.]


Watch your step, guys an' girls. Looks like we've got a prankster runnin' arou--

[His sentence ends abruptly as his sunglasses clamp teeth down on his nose. The feed ends a split second later.]

[001. video/audio]

[The video clicks on and plays over part of a vividly colored graffiti mural – only part, because it cuts off sharply after three feet as the wall entirely changes color and composition. Half of a guy on a skateboard is visible before the cutoff line.] Would ya look at that? Heartbreakin'. Awful clean edge for new construction, too.

Whoever's doin' the décor and staffin' around here oughta think a little harder about what they're draggin' in.

[A hand reaches into the frame, rubbing a finger absently over the dividing line on the wall, and the video snaps off. Audio continues, the voice deliberately casual.] Now, from all the chatter I'm hearin' on this thing I've got plenty of company. Anybody got a minute to clue a guy in?

Wouldn't mind directions back to Shibuya either, but I'll take directions to the nearest civilized chunk of this place if that's all ya got. [He chuckles.] I could use a cuppa coffee. Somethin' tells me I got up on the wrong side of the bed.
