O03: Start

Hugging the southern side of the island, this small village is where the vast majority of the island’s previous residents lived, worked, and leisured. The houses and occasional business closest to the waters edge all reside on stilts, a preventative measure for the unpredictable tides, while those closer to the outskirts begin to have backyards and small farming coops. What some would consider the centre of the town also contains a small square, as well as a simple stone church, short two-story bell tower, and wild overgrown gardens surrounding a distinctly leaderly house.

O03: Start

Post by Ohm »

Jevaun Barrett

12:34

Cam 21

Body laid on the ground. Adjusting the lens, one could see half of his face, the other obstructed by the ground it used as a pillow. Zooming in, it could catch the whiteheads that were on his cheek, the scratches from what would be ill thought attempts at getting rid of said pimples, the thin brow that occupied that side. All captured on HD.

The whole world would see, in time.

Rumblings of movement, zoom out. Quickly adjusting to capture the moment as the boy rustled and moved, arms lifting himself up slightly as his head started to look around, groggily. Carefully and slowly turning himself around to being seated and holding his head in his hands.

Before suddenly, launching himself up on his feet, eyes wide. His careful movements replaced with hurried, panicked looking ones as he looked around. He yelled out.

No answer.

As he looked around, one could see the lightbulb above his head as an innocuous bag that had laid to the side without his notice, it had his numbering on it.

With careful consideration, lens adjusted and the camera zooming in as the seeming realisation dawned on his face. The boy started to pace.

Camera swiveled in place, trying to keep up with the boy as he paced back and forth, faster and faster. It settled for the middle as the boy kept going, before abruptly giving off a loud yelp as he stubbed his toe on a rock, sending him stumbling. Face twisted in anger, he swung his fist around him wildly, curses ringing through the air as he seemed to go through the checklist of the ones he knew.

Once he stopped, he sat down on the ground with his legs folded, placing his hands on his knees as he breathed before settling the entire matter with an ineffectual looking slam on his knee. After that, he stayed seated for a while. Seconds turned to minutes, and minutes turned to half an hour.

The boy got up, close-up by the camera revealing streaks of water underneath his eyes, of which he was quick to rub his arm across in the attempt to get rid of. Camera zoomed out as he walked away towards his bag, roughly lifting it up before sauntering off.

At first it tried to follow, but it stopped and swiveled to the right.

If one were watching, the camera suddenly shifted to another place, angled differently from its tall perch as it watched the boy walk by, looking down at him as it catalogued each of his steps. Trying to catch more of him as he ventured by.

Another switch. One more precarious, closer to the ground as it were. Although, it didn’t have to angle itself downward to catch him. Instead, it was kept more at an eye level. He stared for a while at it, eyes glistening as he did.

“I-”

Thunk.

Object 17 successfully managed to sneak behind O03. The Caulking gun hit against the head of Object 3.

The handler of the caulking gun had a mustache and sunglasses, so the cameras couldn't see the expression in his eyes. The cameras could see the small smirk that appeared on his face as he saw him dropping to the ground.

Pranay was carrying his own bag. He looked at the bag of O03 and opened it. He looked back at the body again. He realised it was not dead yet, probably knocked out and unconscious.

12:36

Pranay has finished checking the bag of O03, but did not scavange anything out of it.

12:37

Pranay stands in the room, observing for a motion of the unconscious kid.

12:39

Pranay gets seemingly nervous. He begins walking forward and back. He gets more nervous. He gets shaky.

12:42

Pranay opened one of the meal replacement bottles of Jevaun. Empties two thirds of it. Pranay unzips his own pant, put his genitalia in the bottle. O17 empties his bladder. Pranay seemingly begins to be less nervous. He looks relieved.

12:44

Pranay put the bottle back into Jevaun's bag, still waiting for the big guy to wake up. Pranay is smiling.
I'm so glad to be back !

Austin Song stared at the scene in front of him and he was still feeling groggy from when he woke up a few minutes ago.

He blinked a few times.

What the hell just happened?!

He was glad that he was hidden from the other guy's view. Mostly.

God, he wondered how he was going to plan things out now.

The dried blood on his face was a reminder of how serious the situation was and he wanted to curse and scream at the heavens for this cruel fate.

But no.

In reality, he was hiding. Waiting. Watching.

Planning to do something that would be unforgivable.

He was gripping the flashlight that was not on between his hands and he let out a small, breathy sigh.

He glanced back at Pranay and the unconscious boy in awe and curiosity.

Wondering if he should intervene or not.

12: 46

Breathing. Signs of life, but no sign of consciousness yet.

12: 49

Body begins to stir.

12: 50

A cough and a groan. Jevaun's body rustled as his left hand reached up to his head, rubbing at the side. Outside of that, he laid still.

12: 56

Slowly, Jevaun put himself in a seated position, hand still on the side of his temple. He could be heard groaning as he did so, and large exhales of air as his other hand joined his head.

13:00

Jevaun turns his head, and his eyes widen. He tries to get up, but finds no success. Instead, he reached out for his bag and held it tight.

"Who the fuck?!"

Pranay's face changed as Jevaun's body began to move. The face with the smile turned to a face showing empathy and worry.

Pranay kneeled down over the hurt man.

"Hey, you alright man?," he asked in a geniune and calm way. He put his left hand in front of Jevaun's face and showed three fingers.

"How many fingers can you see?"

Austin's stoic face was giving nothing away as he had watched the scene for who knows how long and he was now holding the flashlight loosely at his left side, wandering where he was still even there. This was none of his damn business.

He opened his mouth to call out. But he closed it once more.

These two were complete strangers to him. Yes, one had attacked the other and yes, it looked like the wounded one was being tricked by his attacker.

He honestly didn't need to get close to them.

This would be bad news for him and he couldn't trust anyone there. He had to be out for himself. No one else. He had to survive for himself and he couldn't pity or help anyone else. It was just how it was.

He turned to leave and he took a small step forward to sneak away.

CRUNCH

He glanced down at what he had stepped on.

A frigging twig.

His face didn't show any emotion but he was irritated as the noise had been loud and he wondered if the other two boys had heard it.

"Uh, three?" He said as he sat there, staring at the fingers held out in front of him.

His face, at first, full of confusion and puzzlement at his current predicament, but slowly it seemed his senses were returning.

"Wait, who are you? What’s goi-" A distant crack made him stop, and turn to look to where the sound had come from.

His hands tightened their hold on his bag.

"You hear that?"

"Yes, I heard that."

Pranay jumped up, holding his caulking gun high.

"You were knocked out by someone, I saw them trying to steal your bag, but I fought them off."

Pranay slowly walked closer to the direction of the branch while still holding the caulking gun up high.

"They might still be here. Maybe they returned to get your bag for good."

He could hear the voices and he didn't move from where he was standing, waiting.

The grip on the flashlight tightened.

He could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer.

He closed his eyes briefly, his breathing was a bit hollow and short of air.

Calm. He needed to be calm.

He couldn't mess this up.

The other boy stepped away, further and further. Something in his hands that seemed to make him so sure that whatever was out there, he could take on.

Whilst that was happening, Jevaun was fumbling with the zipper of his bag, having dropped it on the ground before letting unsteady hands go to work, struggling to get a grip on the small metal object.

Uttering curses under his breath, he finally got a hold of the object and zipped his bag open before starting to rummage through it. One could the clatter of objects being shoved around inside of it as he looked for something.

Through this Jevaun could be heard making an excited yelp as he seemed to find what he was looking for.

Pranay cautiously walked further forward, in search of the source of the noise of the crunched twig. He turned back to face Jevaun again.

"I think he's gone. I don't see anybo-"

Pranay got surprised by a flashlight and let out a scream.

Austin had taken the chance. He almost smirked at playing Pranay at his own game. Disgusting cockroach.

He was satisfied when he felt the flashlight cracking against the flesh and bone of the boy in front of him.

He needed to get away before-

"Hold it bruva!" He shouted as his right hand held onto the grip on his gun, his left cradled the front of it as he pointed it at flashlight boy. A grin forming on his face as he did so.

It had been a struggle to get up, Jevaun using his left leg to handle most of the weight as he did so. A couple of unsteady steps had been taken, but he stood firm now, if leaning a bit to his left.

"Do anything, and knocking another kid is the last thing you'll be doing here."

Though his words were loud and one could see the magazine that he had put in, a zoom from the camera would show that he hadn't pulled the handle on the side of his gun.

Pranay crashed to the ground but did not lose his consciousness yet. He rubbed the bruise.

Pranay was on the ground, recognising the other boy having discovered his gun. He prepared for potential gunshots by staying on the ground and covering his head, minimising the chance of getting hit by a bullet.

Austin just stared at the boy with the gun pointed at him and he didn't make any more movements after Pranay had collapsed to the ground. He raised his hands in surrender but still have a hold on the flashlight. He didn't want to let it go. He didn't know why, but it had helped him take down the other boy's attacker.

He opened his mouth to speak.

"....."

But then he thought better of it and closed his mouth once again.

There was no way that he could tell the other boy about his assault by this pitiful boy on the ground in front and he was tempted to hit him again. But he didn't do any of that.

He continued to watch Jevaun in complete silence.
