003 - Voice
[When the journal turns on, all it can see is nothing but the ceiling. At first, there aren't any noises, either. Well, nothing except the sound of clicking from what sounds like a mouse. After a moment of that, however, that stops, and then Teddy's voice is heard, sounding a bit unsure.]
...Billy? I think my laptop upgraded itself.
[Another sound, one of faintly playing music that might have been heard earlier, is paused as Billy's voice comes in a little further away.]
Upgraded how? Is it running better?
No, there's just... stuff that wasn't there before, like some games I've never heard of. Come here a second...
[Something's being shut and set aside for the moment, and then there's the sound of footsteps noise as Billy makes his way to where Teddy's sitting.]
Maybe it's just an added Christmas bonus. .... 'Slender'? Are you sure that's not a virus or something?
Beats me. Guess I won't tell unless I click it - I've got avast, don't worry.
...If you break your laptop you can't steal mine.
I steal yours to play Skyrim anyway, your argument is invalid. Now, let's see...
[A double click as Teddy gets the "virus" started. There's a pause, and then a rather low, unsettling sound.]
...This is not a great beginning, Tee.
The title screen's kinda flee-the-room worthy, but... hmm. Not very virusy to me.
'Flee the room' is a good way to phrase it. I don't trust those crickets.
What, think they'll jump out and eat you? All I'm doing is walking through the woods...
Walking through the woods in the dark with no music. Something is going to eat you.
Well, it's not gonna be crickets. I think I'm supposed to find the thing that'll eat me.
It said 'find 8 pages', so thanks for the mental image you just gave me. I'll never look at my bookshelf the same way.
You're welcome. ... Whoa, wait, what just - did my screen just -
[And a creak of the chair - with Billy having his arms around Teddy's shoulders and jerking back the way he did, he ended up yanking the chair a little.] Oh my god did you do that?"
No, it's - Me moving made it stop. I'm starting to believe your virus theory, B...
Then just turn it off, it's freaking me out.
Hold on, I want to see where this goes. ... Oh, a building. Not sure if want.
...Don't you dare go in there.
I'm thinking I have to. And you don't have to watch if it's bothering you, I think I'll be okay.
I'm fine, I just- no, seriously, I don't think you should go in there. That is a death trap.
There might be a page in there; that's what I'm supposed to be looking for, right? Eight pages that'll eat me...
That's still not funny. .....Why is that hallway so dark. You have a flashlight. Why is it dark.
III don't...
[Whereas Teddy sounds distracted and focused on the game, Billy's babbling is beginning to sound a little shaky. This part's seriously claustrophobic.] Why are you playing this. Why would anyone play this? ...Oh god, can you even get out of there? Did you trap yourself? You totally did, didn't you? You're gonna die.
Nnno I'm not...
[Billy's starting to breathe faster as Teddy goes around corner after corner. Teddy, however, is quiet; having Billy be scared for him helps him out during games - uh, viruses like this. But after a moment of that:]
Oh my god an exit, get out, get the hell out, this is the worst place in the world-
[Teddy, on his part, sounds amused, even if his voice is just slightly shaky: the only time Billy really swears is if he's scared, and it's funny to hear.] See? I made it out and I'm not dead. Still didn't find a page.
This is a stupid game. It's stupid and it's boring. Just play Skyrim or something, okay?
Maybe if I can find a page - oh, some tanks.
No, no, no, no no no no no no...
[Another pause, with more quiet no's from Billy and silence from Teddy... at least, until a certain point.] ... Hm.
Oh shit, what was that, what is that right there-
Calm down, just a tree, camera got weird on me.
No it's- .....um.
Tree.
Shut up.
Heh heh.
Okay... So far I'm finding nothing.
Nothing but- your screen's doing that thing again.
Yeah, I don't - [And just as Teddy lifts his hand to tap the screen - ]
What is that noise!?
Agh, it's - I can't - What the fuck -
[Briefly, there's the sound of the chair creaking - but this time it sounds like it's being forced back even further and even jostled. Following right after is Billy letting out a scream and loud, incoherent sputterings of "shit shit shit" before his footsteps are heard again, this time much louder and quicker as he runs away, and the door slamming.
Teddy, however, just breathes heavily for a few seconds... before he lets it out in one long breath, then gives a brief pause as he looks around.]
... Billy?
[And more footsteps, much softer now that Teddy's walking to the door, where all that can be heard is muffled shrieking.]
B, it's okay, it's over now - let me in?
[... At least his voice is only shaky compared to Billy's screaming.]
((ooc: As Billy will spend the rest of the time being under a blanket, Teddy will answer for the most part, though the former might interject at some points. If you want Billy in on it for a threeway thread, just say so and we'll drag him out! For the record, replies will, in Luceti time, be answered about ten minutes after the entry, seeing how they must console each other after such a near death experience.
Also, the video we used for reference. Have fun!))

[If that voice is who he thinks it is - Hmm. Might as well not think of it that way. Many people here, regardless of where they're from, don't know what a laptop is and all.]
It's called Slender. If you've got a file like that, don't open it. Unless you don't get scared easily.
no subject
[No his world doesn't have laptops. It has sailing ships, and submarines, and cyborgs, and fricking laser beams.
But no laptops.
Not that Law's completely computer ignorant. He's tech savvy for someone of his world. He's done locked broadcasts from the tunnel laptops (the only thing he knows how to do); operated the simulators in the Battle Dome (the console is thankfully obscenely user friendly) and the equipment in the clinic (the computerized machines that are not in his world explained to him).
He's just Macbook ignorant - uh, this OS is new to me, WHAT - and ignorant of the possible functions of computer beyond what he's heard and seen. ... he's not sure what to really do with the machine in front of him.]
I don't... but I think I'll stay out of it anyway. It sounds like a troublesome thing. [8|a]
no subject
[And since Teddy's pretty sure his suspicion is correct...] Do you know how to work your laptop? Billy and I are pretty much experts if you want to learn more about it. Or... I am, Billy is when he's not hiding from the world.
no subject
So, yes... we'd both like to know more about it, please. [In other words. HALP.]
no subject
... But probably tomorrow. It's getting dark out, and if Billy wants in on this, he won't want to go out at night. Not after this. [He turns his head with a little grin.] Right, B?
[He definitely doesn't want to go out at night right now either, but it's more fun to poke at Billy for this.]
no subject
[THAT IS ALL HE'S GOING TO SAY ON THE MATTER.]
no subject
Tomorrow's fine. I have it off from work, and I need to let Itachi know. [A demanding mew off-screen and Law's attention turns.] ... oh, you're hungry? Guess it's about that time. I'll be there in one second, Amaya.
It'll probably go better when everyone's fresh.
no subject
[Okay okay now back to the screen.] Oh, so you live with - someone? [Because whoa, Itachi? But there's something else he heard, something that makes him perk up a bit.] And a cat, huh? Guess I'll see that one tomorrow. [Definite animal lover here.]
no subject
Cats. Mine's downstairs with her kittens, and this lady here is Itachi's [The journal shifts slightly to show off a pewter gray cat.] You'll meet the whole brood tomorrow, along with Itachi and me. They're pretty friendly.
I'm Trafalgar Law by the way.
no subject
[Teddy perks up a little, before he gives a sidelong glance to the blanket cocoon on the bed behind him. Hmm. He hasn't really thought of it before, but...
Well, better to think about it when claws and teeth are probably the last thing Billy wants to see. At the name, Teddy turns his attention to the journal again; Ah, right. He figured. He hasn't watched all of the show or read all of the manga, but he knows who this is.]
Can't wait to meet them all. And I'm Teddy Altman, and the bundle behind me is my boyfriend, Billy Kaplan. You'll probably get to see what he looks like tomorrow, at least.
no subject
[There's the thump thump of someone leaving his room (followed by mewing - Amaya is chasing him) and going down the stairs to the living room, where a black cat with vivid orange eyes is curled around her three babies. One smokey gray, one black, and one black tabby.
And all of them are looking up to the camera with Puss in Boots eyes.
Well until the gray cat blocks the view of the camera and rears up against Law's leg to mewl loudly and insistently. FOOD. NOW.]
I look forward to it.
