[The video opens with a bewildered looking youth in a grubby, orange jumpsuit holding the camera at arms length. When he speaks, the Irish accent quickly becomes apparent.]
Okay, first off I'd like to thank whoever conveniently decided to leave me with some form of communication, even if it is utterly useless for getting in touch with people I actually care about.
Second? A big fuck you to whoever's fault it is that I appear to be stuck here. I mean, come on! What the fuck!? Clearly I'm not dead, because hello? Immortal. So, what could possibly be going on here?
[At that he drops the confused look, rolling his eyes and looking annoyed instead.]
Oh, wait. Of course! It's something to do with the storm. Which is just a shocker, I know. It's not like that happens every week, or anything.
[A beat. Just waiting for that sarcasm to sink in, then...]
Ohhhhhh, no, sorry. It does. So, I know exactly what's going on here. It's someone's fucked up idea of a super power. Which means you're either a beautiful, barely legal girl, planning on doing something horrible to me, or...
[Nathan gasps, eyes widening with 'realisation'.]
You!
You're the probation worker. You sick bastard! I thought I could trust you. For once, I thought we had a probation worker we could trust. To guide us, to reform us, to refrain from trying to brutally murder us...
Instead you're pulling me into your sick, perverted fantasies, so you can have your filthy way with me.
[Throwing a dramatic arm over his face, Nathan lets out a loud, false sob.]
Be gentle with me. No one's ever taken me that way before.

[Don't mind the grumpiness, Claire. It's totally a contest in his mind. He's pissy at being one-upped. ]
audio ][
[She might exploit the one-upping if she was actually as happy about her ability as he apparently is.]
It's not really a big deal. Just splitting hairs.
audio ][
[Sob. Stop nitpicking his power. This is a horrible conversation and you're a horrible person, Claire.]
See? You don't even appreciate your power! You don't deserve immortality.
audio ][
Look, I've died before. It's no big deal. I've never really met anyone who was immortal and not a vampire, so I'm just... giving you a hard time.
[But now another pause, because this is something she genuinely doesn't get.]
You really like the idea of living forever?
audio ][
[Which is a big deal for him to admit. But she is a fellow immortal. He guesses he can make an exception for her.]
Well, yeah. Why is everyone always surprised by that? Why wouldn't I want to live forever?
audio ][
[Maybe that sounds like she's trying to rub it in a little more, but it's something it took her a long time to realize. Crass or not, no one deserves to feel like they had to hide like she did.]
It's always sounded pretty lonely to me.
audio ][
It always sounds just the same as mortal life, if you ask me. Only longer. You make friends, you move on, you make more friends... I don't really see how it can be lonely unless you let it.

Sorry.
