Video 08 → My Mistakes, Numbers 4,926 - 5,101

[irregular]

[The video cuts in to show Ken frowning down into the camera, breathing a little too hard and too fast, and biting his lip. Clearly he is looking for something in one of the Dreamberry's menus, jabbing at the keys beneath the screen; just as clearly he triggered the video feed in the process. The image shakes: he's grasping the Dreamberry as firmly as he can, but it doesn't seem to stop his hands from trembling. Confusion crosses his face for a moment or two as he tries to work out why the screen's changed, then he mutters a frustrated curse, but the audio doesn't seem to pick it up.

[The picture cartwheels madly as he tosses the Dreamberry onto the bank he's sitting on. When it lands and the tumbling stops, the screen shows nothing but a slice of sky, thin skeins of clouds drifting overhead. Sixty seconds later, the feed times out.]

[OOC: Ken's been dead for a week after Muraki murdered him, and has lost his voice as a penalty. Replies will be in the form of text messages, or possibly charades.]

[People like Alice, people like whoever killed him. That guy - whoever he is - doesn't need to know he's not dead any more.]

[The police-- Ken sighs. It hadn't even occurred to him that they'd get involved. Who'd notice the death of a dead man?

[Javert, apparently. Oh, great.]

i didnt even think of that. maybe i should go see them myself before they can make an issue about it

but i gotta talk to someone about it right? the police need to know theres someone like whoever that was out there

[... and why, Ken wonders, does it look like he's trying to convince himself of this?

[Old habits - or habits from home, at least - die hard, he guesses.]
