A stormy night (Video)

[boldlydanforth]

It's raining. The soft patter of the water fills the air. A slightly shaky hand indicates a phone camera, clumsily held. In the distance, lightning splits the sky.

Michael laughs.

The video continues, the thunder rolling through the noise of the rain.

A finger points, and the arc of lightning appears in exactly the place pointed out, the flash killing the camera for a moment.

Dramatically, a finger points up, at the large cage with steel beam supports.

There is a crack of thunder loud enough to break up the mic.

There's a wind as the grounding charge gets hold of Michael's muscles.

You hear his laughter even as he's trying to save his phone.

"FUCK I love thunderstorms."

... rescuing people, yes, but like...

Just... finding ways to help people in general?

... Hm... Maybe that's a little presumptive...

[nijistaryume]

How's it presumptive? It's kinda general how you said it.

[boldlydanforth]

felt like kind of a dick move to say "oh of course anyone who's not in my world would need help" was all

and that's assuming I even know the language... fart.

I mean, somehow we're all understanding each other. I dunno how that works, either, but it's really convenient.

[boldlydanforth]

we're understanding each other through badgernet.

I may not have that luxury.

[nijistaryume]

Yeah, I guess so. I don't know if the AIs are gonna explain if you ask, either.
