[The angle of the video is strange--Cole's not too great with technology and to be honest, he's mostly been avoiding it. For the most part he just looks...confused. Everything was so dark here most of the time and while he can't complain about the brighter tone, he still isn't sure that he trusts it.]

Is it too bright? I can't tell.

[Cryptic as always, it seems. He may not even know that he's being recorded.]

Defeated darkness, driving and driven, but now it's bright and burning.

[Confusing. The entire world is confusing outside the Fade. And this place is even more so.

But after a moment he looks down at the camera, still looking a little lost. But then, doesn't he always?]

Is it helping?

[ The video starts too close to Armand's face, blurring the image, making his stark white skin appear to be glowing with the poor lightening. He seems to be somewhere very dark with a lone candle burning. The seconds tick by as he plays with his own image in the frame. Eventually he finds the proper distance to hold his camera. He breaks his silence with a very soft voice. ]

My impression was that I had landed in Hell but now there is an atmosphere of a child's fantasy. There are monsters yet candy rains from the taps and there is light pouring in from inside the cave. I cannot make sense of it.

[ He stops speaking for a moment to think this statement over. ]

I come to this strange community with a request. These animals that have appeared. Rabbits and kittens and such. I would like to welcome them into my home. If someone could deliver them to me I would find a way to repay you. I have fallen ill and unable to leave myself.

[ Not with the chance of encountering odd hours of daylight. He can hardly believe he's using such simpleton tactics to obtain blood. ]

I'm afraid that is all I can say at the moment. My thanks in advance.
