Chapter ~1~ [Video]

[imhisaunt]

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]

It's a nice thought, but this is not the kind of place where teddy bears are cute and have heads. [ sorry to be a debbie downer. though her tone says she's not very sorry. ]

Oh? [He looks both surprised and unhappy about that] Why not??

[64th]

Because everything here is the worst version of anything you've ever been fond of.

[imhisaunt]

Really? Surely there must be something nice here.... I have met some very nice people! Surely that is something?

[Ok. he's met like...two...two nice people. But it counts, right?]

[64th]

[ she pauses. ] Hmm.. I guess some of the people aren't terrible. But they aren't from here, so they don't really count.

[imhisaunt]

I see your point.

[He chews his lip in thought]

Have you been here very long?
