☠ 03 | video
Apr. 17th, 2011 10:56 pm[video feed opens to a sandy beach, waves splashing in the back and one (1) Jim Hawkins with a metal contraption looking a bit uneasy at the camera.]
Hey, do you really hafta record this?
Do you want to check the flight patterns or not? I'm not making a network post. Start it already.
Fine, fine. Just-- Stay out of the way.
Tch! Tell it to your grandmother."
[camera starts awkwardly panning out as Gokudera steps back. Jim grabs the surfer's guard-rail and runs along the waterline with it and-- up it goes! Slowly climbing and Jim looks fairly proud of himself jumping onto it. For a few minutes everything was flying and nothing hurt and once it's ten feet in the air ... it starts losing altitude oh no. The flyer starts trailing smoke and careens to the water]
Shit--fucking idiot, what scraps did you--"
[the camera jostles a bit before the feed cuts out. RUN, GOKUDERA, RUN]
