Chapter ~1~ [Video]
Hello? Excuse me? Hello?
[It is immediately clear that the person recording this is very new to the concept of cellphones, let alone video recordings. And for the moment texts are simply out of the question, after all it was only by sheer happenstance that Delmar stumbled upon the video record button in the first place. Therefore, the screen starts out all too close to a single bright brown iris as Delmar tries to ascertain if this strange little device is on but soon enough he gets his baring and holds it out at arm's length, blinking up at it shyly. His front teeth trap his lower lip a moment as he pokes a finger timidly at the screen]
Oh dear, I hope this is working. Hello [A little awkward wave] I am very sorry to trouble all of you, but I was, um, I was hoping to perhaps find a person who might know how to sew? I know a little but not enough for--Ah. Right I should show you, shouldn't I?
[He daintily sets down the phone and shuffling noises can be heard as he grabs for something. After a moment he returns, holding up a strange teddy bear - lamp fusion ]
-- I was hoping maybe somebody could help me with this. I do feel sorry for him. I would like it very much if he could get the chance to be a real teddy bear. That would be nice, wouldn't it?
[Delmar smiles at it a second before patting it and setting it back down somewhere offscreen.]
Thank you all very much for your time. I hope I have not inconvenienced any of you.[His eyes go wide as he is struck by his own forgetfulness ]
Oh- And my name is Delmar. Hello![Another little wave followed by a bit more fumbling before the video ends]
TEXT FOREVER SUCCUMB TO THE SUPERIOR FORMAT DUDE
idfk. thats up to u to decide. u looked like the dick havin type but idk ur life.
anyway good. yeah im fine. still pissed abt bein stuck but not much we can do abt that apparently.
how does he look sad. he doesnt even have a face.
o wait.
yeah not having a face prob sucks.
i bet u can give him a face and keep his lamp aesthetic tho.
ur smart.
probably.
HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SUCCUMB TO IT. TEACH HIM, RUDE!BRO, YOU'RE HIS ONLY HOPE
H-harlan!
[He then leans in closer to the screen to whisper]
We are not supposed to talk about......that
no subject
Harlan has never been more delighted by a grown-ass man's response to... Wait is he freaking out about the bear thing or the dick thing? He can't tell. Could be the word "sucks" for all he knows. This guy is a delicate soul.]
which that are u referring to?
like specifically.
is it the dick thing? it was prob the dick thing.
y arent we supposed to talk abt dicks?
genuine question.
no subject
We are not supposed to talk about those things. We aren't.
no subject
hey im sorry man. didnt mean to upset u. its cool. d discussion is off the table.
if u get some fabric or somethin tho i bet u could cobble together a head for that bear.
or u could draw a face on his shade part.
that might be better since its his head already anyway.
adding another head would look weird.
no subject
Would you really??
[He lightly touches the lampshade]
He could, um, he could have a head and keep his lampshade for a hat. Then he could be both.
[He's become strangely invested in the plight of this bear lamp]
no subject
so lol would his head b the lightbulb then?
or u gonna put a head over the lightbulb? so his headll light up?
no subject
[Delmar finds the last suggestion wonderful]
He could shine AND be a bear.
[He pats the lampshade]
Then he will need a name.
no subject
hm. ur right. what r u gonna name him?
hes ur pal. u gotta do the honors.
