[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.

Okay, but if you ever change your mind... [I'm sure you can work out what that singsong voice is implying, Ginny.

Aaaaand there's that guide. Brilliant. That'll occupy Nathan. Or at least until he gets bored and decides to work things out for himself.]

All right. Got it. Thanks... [There's a lot of umming and ahhing from Nathan then, along with some finger clicking as he tries to spark his memory. Did she tell him her name?] What did you say your name was again?

[Yeah. Erm. Moving on from that, thanks.]

I didn't, but since you've asked so politely—I'm Ginny. And you are?

Ohhh. Right. That would explain why I couldn't remember it. I'm usually better than that. [He isn't.]

I'm Nathan.

Hullo, Nathan. Any questions I can try to answer, then? About the guide, of course.

[:( Way to ruin his fun before he's even got started, Ginny.]

Okay, so this guide... What would you say are the most important bits for me to read from it?

[He's had plenty of fun. >|]

Stuff about the curses, how time works while you're here... leaving and coming back. Death, too, though if you're immortal, I'm not sure if that'll interest you.

[Well, now that's pinged him. Telling him it probably won't interest him has completely the opposite effect.]

What about death? Why wouldn't that interest me?

Well, it's just people can't die here. Not that it doesn't happen, because sometimes it does, but more often than not... if you die in the City, it brings you back.

Wait, so I may as well not be immortal?

If you've died here or died back home, you won't have a heartbeat and your skin'll be cold. So I don't know, maybe that sort of thing won't affect you if something happens? I can't quite say.

I hope not. I like having a heartbeat and warm skin. And people kill me a lot.

... nice world you come from.

I know! Why would someone ever want to kill me?

I wonder the same thing about myself, mate.

People want to kill you, too?

[You will never know for sure, now will you. She could be joking. Except, you know, not really. Still. Insert laugh here.]

Dangerous worlds we live in, aren't they? There are good people here, though.

Well, that's definitely a plus. I think I'm going to be needing a lot of those good people to support myself for as long as I'm stuck here.

Well, hopefully you've found somewhere to live? With good people, of course. Keeps the ticking away, too.

Oh, is that what stops it?

But, yes. I have. I've found a lovely girl to stay with who's even promised to cook my meals for me. Although since she's still refusing to do my dishes and my laundry, I am still open to offers elsewhere.
