Chapter ~2~ [Video]

[imhisaunt]

 Good morning, everyone!

[Delmar waves with a timid excitement at the screen, blushing in his shyness but it's taken him an hour to work up the courage to make this announcement and so he's got to go through with it now or never! And in his anxiousness he hasn't even realized that there are a few drops of yellow and pink paint on his cheek] 

I was wondering if, um, if perhaps anyone wasn't busy if they'd like to come help me paint the walls of my apartment? I thought they were too dreary so I wanted to brighten them.

[He fumbles a bit with the phone to get a view of where he's painted one part of a wall with a cheerful and child-like representation of New York with a bright sun and clouds above it. He then returns the screen to himself]

Anyone is more than welcome, I have paint and I also have treats if anyone might be hungry. 

[Delmar then looks uncertain, unsure what else to say]

T-that is all. Thank you!

I believe we would call that serendipitous.

[demonsional]

I've never heard that word before!

[He has no idea what it means. Actually none.]

It sounds important and good! I will wait outside for you, and you'll know it's me because you can see me right now on this video and that's what I look like!

[imhisaunt]

Alright. I just need to grab my sweater and I'll be right there. You be careful waiting outside now, don't talk to any mean looking strangers. That's not safe.

[And with that Delmar ends his message. He will arrive in about 20 minutes, shyly looking for the little boy he had been speaking to]
