[the camera flips on to a dark room, the communication device being the only source of light available. there's a vague outline of something robotic looking, and suddenly...

there's a bright red glow and the network is treated to yet another mask post.

but this person isn't trying to hide the fact that she put hers on, because it's on her fucking face.

and suddenly...a voice.]

Hello friend.

Comments

voice forever;

[handelaar]

[The most angry hypocrite who ever did hypocrite.]

Take that off.

[mutelunatic]

[SHE 'STARES' FOR A SECOND OR SO (in quotes because you can't tell from under her mask that she's staring) before shaking her head.

hah like she has to listen to you! she can handle the mask and the temptation was too great for even her stubborn ass to resist.]

[handelaar]

Why not.

[Pff, he knows well enough why but he'd like to hear her reasoning.]

[mutelunatic]

[BECAUSE NOW THAT IT'S ON SHE'S TOO STUBBORN TO LISTEN AND TAKE IT OFF.

but she responds with a simple shrug.]

[handelaar]

[FIGURES GOD.]

Can't work wearin' that thing.

texttt

[testgasm]

[NOPE

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE]

what do you think you're doing with that

video

[mutelunatic]

[LEANING IN AS SHE GOES TO READ THE TEXT. there's a muffled huff from behind the mask as she sees who it's from.

do you really think you'd get a proper response Wheatley? no, but the mask does have a pre-recorded message to say:]

Target acquired.

[testgasm]

[HE'S USING TEXT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO HEAR HIM FLIPPING OUT]

stop it

[mutelunatic]

[PATHETIC.

anyway there's a long pause, a moment where the mask is so stationary you kind of forget that it's on a person's face, and then a slow shake of the head.

No.]

[testgasm]

[Seriously he screamed]

it's not funny

[mutelunatic]

[ANOTHER FEW MOMENTS OF "staring"

and then

laughter from the mask.

Chell doesn't think it's funny but the mask sure does.]

[testgasm]

[nope

nope

nopes into space]

[mutelunatic]

[hey

hey the video's still on

you know what's coming?

you know what's coming???????]

Are you still there?

[testgasm]

no

[mutelunatic]

[and again]

Hello friend.

[DID YOU HEAR THAT SHE CALLED YOU HER FRIE oh wait it's just the mask responding accordingly.

Chell, meanwhile, shakes her head again.]

[testgasm]

[NOPE HE'S OUTTIE FOR REALS YOU CRAZY PERSON]

[willpunchfaces]

[osudbgousbgos]

Get out.

[mutelunatic]

[A FEW SECONDS OF STARING FROM THE MASKED FIGURE, THEN SHE TILTS HER HEAD SLIGHTLY.

...what?]

[willpunchfaces]

[it's a kneejerk reaction to anything robotic and Francis is just. flipping out a bit]

Why - is that a mask? What the heck do you think you're doing?

[receiving]

[That was- pretty creepy. Downright unnerving. He doesn't even know why he's answering when it's best to just ignore the voice.

But it was on his comm device.]

Uh, hello.

[mutelunatic]

[KIND OF JUST STARING

HI STRANGER.

you're going to get a text.]

hello.

[receiving]

[Yeah, you can stop doing that now. Henry doesn't like it. Oh, a text. Maybe that's a little better.]

Do you need help?

[Because what stranger is going to call another stranger friend if they don't want anything. Unless they're trying to sell you something.]

[mutelunatic]

[IT'S THE MASK NOT HER]

no.

[receiving]

[But you're wearing it.]

Oh. Okay.

[He doesn't know what else to say. In addition to being weird, it's now also awkward.]

[andblockbuster]

[REALLY.

REALLY?]

Seriously?

[goodpath]

Are you smiley?

[Video]

[realslimstrider]

[He's bright orange and so not impressed with this. That shit is creepy as hell and-] Seriously? Come on do we really have to roll down mask lane again. It's getting old.
