[Video] [Shepherd's Haven]

[witnessme]

[Nux is very frequently shirtless, even when the weather's a little cold and nippy. Summer's coming in the Southern Hemisphere, so this is true even more often, but today, there's something really different about the familiar sight of his slender, well-muscled torso. It's also adorned with elaborate scarification that looks like car parts. He keeps touching and scratching at it, looking distracted and a little bit distraught.]

So, uh... people are remembering things, yeah? I was digging a hole for fenceposts and I was daydreaming, but... you know, during the day.

You... you know what I'm trying to say, right? I was there, but I wasn't there. I had this thing on my chest when I woke up, and I remembered the sort of... religion my Other had. He definitely wasn't Catholic. I think he worshiped cars, called it the Cult of the V8.

I mean, I like cars, but I don't think they're gods or anything like that.

[Arlene's surroundings have changed. She's no longer in a grimy and sweaty 24-hour diner in Gateway City; she's dressed nicely, with her hair and her makeup both done nicely and a brand new professional-looking outfit.

She's on her knees with a hand at her head.]

I was shot. I was shot in the head...

[She knocks against the side of her skull, and there's the sound of flesh and bone against a metal plate.]

What the fuck? Is this happening to everyone?

That's it. I want off this ride. I don't give a damn about saving the world or whatever. I've had enough. Shit's gone stupid. I didn't sign up for fucking bullshit mothmen or whatever the fuck all of that was, I'm out. Canceling my subscription. Someone take these goddamned numbers I've had enough.

( The Memory Itself )

Celine blinked, having bumped into a wall, stumbling a short ways. She turned looked quickly around the room, to the concerned faces of her co-workers, her own pale as a sheet. The break room? She steadied herself, looking around once more. So... It was an echo then... She let out a long sigh, shoulders relaxing. It took some prodding but Celine returned home early, still somewhat shaken, her entire body aching faintly. It had all seemed so real.

[Video: Open to All]

Celine was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking tired and rubbing one of her temples. "I just had the most bizarrely real echo. It was more like a hallucination. Nothing overly traumatic, fortunately, but it was apparently enough to have me sent home from work early. Considering the activity on the network I'm assuming I'm not the only one...?"

[When the video starts Misa is leaning forward, looking at herself in a mirror (turned camera by the network). Behind her are white tiles and her hands are resting against a sink; all the trappings of a typical bathroom.]

Phew… talk about nerve wracking… But it’s going really well, I just need to keep it up.

[She seems calm enough, then suddenly her eyes widen and she brings her arms up as if to defend herself.]

AHH-

[Her scream abruptly cuts off. Staring ahead, her hands come to rest against something invisible in front of her shoulders. A minute or so passes like this with Misa utterly mute, sweating and terrified but unmoving. Finally she frantically starts patting one hand against the air and then falls to her knees, gasping for breath.]

What are you? [Breathing heavily, she uses the sink to steady herself and hoists herself back onto her feet.] I can tell you’re not a stalker, but you don’t seem human at all…
