002 [Video]

[The camera blinks on as a child wearing a red Yukata, and has an identical mullethawk  haircut as Daken hits a keys.  He's staring hard at the keyboard and pressing random keys, not liking the sound that comes out.  He presses them even harder.]

I've never heard a typewriter make noises like this before....

[He looks up and notices the webcam.]

What the...?

[He stares into the camera until only a blurry eye can be seen.]

I think it's a camera lens.  Where's the rest of it? 

[His confidence falters.]

...I think it's a camera lens...  

[But he quickly regains it.]

It looks like the camera lens in father's book.  Sort of.

[He stares at the screen.]

But what's this???

[There's Jason smacking his own head]

I climbed in through the window.

[Which wasn't a lie actually.]

Why were you looking through my stuff?

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

I didn't know it was your stuff.

Is the metal box with the holes in it yours too? And the typewriter camera?

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Metal box with holes? You mean the toaster? Yeah, I guess it is. And the typewriter camera's called a computer.

[He rubbed his temples and shakes his head.]

Kid's these days.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

We don't have those things in my house.

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Well we do here. I like the more modern stuff.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

How can it be more modern than today?

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Because my father builds electronics. So I get stuff that shouldn't be out for a few more years. Get it?

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Where is your father, then? Or my father?

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

My father isn't here. My guess is your father is off on some trip and left you here for me to look after.

Maybe he's friends with my dad. Which is why I got stuck with you.

My father doesn't like Americans!

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Well even though my father was an American, my mother wasn't.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

.....Kind of like me?

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Oh really? So you're only half Japanese? That's cool. I'm half middle eastern.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Really?

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Yup. But I was adopted when I was young. So I lived in America for most of my life.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.
