1 Mischief Managed - [Video]

[onlyholey]

[The camera opens on the video feed. Not much can be seen, as what appears to be a hand is covering most of the camera. There is a THUNK as the device is thrown onto a hard surface and skids slightly until it settles, setting up a clear view of the edge of the fountain. A young man is standing waist-deep in water, drenched to the skin. He pushes his fiery red hair out of his eyes, and peers towards the device with what may be an extremely familiar freckled face.]

Look, if someone’s trying to make a point here, I have bathed today.

[He’s seemed to have worked out that the device is broadcasting, and is nonplussed by it. He hoists himself out of the water and sits of the edge, trying to shakes the water out of his sleeves.]

And Ron, if this is another one of your misguided attempts to ‘cheer me up’, I must say that you’ve reached a bit of an all-time low. Dropping me into a fountain, really? Absolutely no finesse at all. In fact I’m considering disowning you on the spot. And I have water up my ear-hole.

[He tilts his head over and gives it a smack to try and dislodge the water. Wear his left ear should be, there is simply a dark hole in the side of his head.]

If the water seeps into my brain I am holding you personally responsible. I don’t need to be brain-damaged on top of being horribly disfigured.

[He hops to his feet and scoops up the device, holding it level with his face as he turns around, surveying his surroundings.]

Now. Where in bleeding hell am I?

Oh. Just as well he ended up here. That thing needed working on.

It was shit when he got here. Don't know if he's managed to make it any better now.

[video]

[onlyholey]

I'll be sure to pass on your review.

[video]

[designedtoparty]

I don't think you need to. Unless I somehow missed him being blind, in which case he probably does need telling.

[video]

[onlyholey]

Alas, I am the only once missing any facial features. Lucky bastard.

[video]

[designedtoparty]

Too bad. At least it makes you easier to tell apart.

[Video]

[onlyholey]

Funnily enough that's what I said when it happened.

[Video]

[designedtoparty]

Well, it's about the only upside. You're already ginger. How are you supposed to get anyone to shag you now?

[Video]

[onlyholey]

[Oh Nathan, you poor naive fool. Let me teach you the ways of the ginge]

People say that, yeah. I've never found it too much of a problem.

[Video]

[designedtoparty]

Really? But you're so... ginger.

[Video]

[onlyholey]

I may have noticed that, yeah.

[Video]

[designedtoparty]

Well, I guess someone must like you, or there wouldn't be so many of you.

Are there girls who are ginger and amputee fetishists? Or do you have to do it with the lights off now?

[Video]

[onlyholey]

Why so interested?

[Video]

[designedtoparty]

Why do you want to know? Maybe I'm interested in finding some cute, ginger girl who's missing her nose and I'm trying to get feel for the scene.

Fetishes can be very embarrassing to admit to, you know.

[Video]

[onlyholey]

I'm certainly happy you feel comfortable enough around me to open up.

[Video]

[designedtoparty]

Well, you seem like the open minded sort. You know, what with the ear and everything.

[Video]

[onlyholey]

[Well punned, sir. Bravo.]

[Video]

[designedtoparty]

[Thank you. Nathan looks pleased with himself.]

What? Have you heard that one before? I could probably come up with something else if you wanted me to.
