[Video][A friend lost and a strange light Shining]
[McCrane is on a late patrol, in the junk-yard at night. With the horrors of the Glyphless catastrophe over and all of the paperwork filed, he has been searching for two things: One, the materials to build a soccer-goal, and two...]
Has anyone seen Gunmax?
[He's worried. He's always worried, of course, but now he looks more worried than usual. He turns, and for a moment the camera catches a small ball of light hovering over a silver-wrapped box with a gold bow. Curious, McCrane approaches, and the light moves out of the video, as does the box.]
I am also wondering about Barricade, as he has been gone for several weeks now. I don't know if keeping track of the populace is part of our Law Enforcement duties, but...it should be done. [McCrane reaches down, and suddenly the silver box pops back into view while he holds it. It's still remarkably well-lit for this time of night, but that may be because there's that small ball of light, shining on it again.]
And now it looks like I'll have to add Whirl onto the list, too. [He fingers the nametag, turning it toward the camera. Today was strange enough, but it looked as if it was going to get stranger.]
Is anyone else encountering unusual lights?
[It reminded him of Drill Boy's mythical fairy.]

ACTION --LOOK SOMEBODY GOT A THUMB OR SOMETHING IN A BOX
Just...in case.
[He doesn't feel comfortable talking about Gunmax's former partner, since it isn't his story to tell. However, the thing with the stoplight reminded him, and that time you were turned into Shadowmaru, so he...worries. He often worries.]
The rest will have to be decided by him, then.
I appreciate that you came out here to check, though, Kagerou.
[It's a little relieving that it isn't a bomb, and that at least it's not ALIVE.]
It was very helpful.
ACTION -- MCCRANE STOP YOU'RE CHANNELING RED ALERT
[He shakes it a few more times. Whatever's inside just keeps going thudthudthud.]
It's nothing.
[He hesitates.]
... I prefer bickering. I prefer it much more than I do... another burial.
ACTION -- SOMEBODY HAS TO WATCH OUT FOR EVERYONE
[When Kagerou brings it up...its a very good point. He hadn't wanted to face Gunmax with his present, knowing that he'd opened it...
But if it was dangerous, at all, it wasn't worth that risk.]
Do you think we could seal it back, carefully?
ACTION --oh my god i will never unsee this now. McCrane Alert.
It's only tape.
A small cut can easily be repaired again, with more of the same.
ACTION -- His little ear cranes start spinning...
Then we should open it.
...
Carefully.
ACTION -- and flashing?
Hold it steady then.
ACTION -- Yup. And going 'woo woo woo'
...
ACTION -- mccrane whoever gave you that upgrade is a bad person
Well. No explosion.
[He wiggles a fingertip in...]
A book?
ACTION -- would sure make towing cars easier though
Ja-pan-ese to En-g-li-sh?
[He reads it off phonetically, and then looks back to Kagerou.]
....
...
....
[After a moment, he can't help but smile.]
He could use this.
ACTION -- this is true
Hn.
[And back into the box.]
Yes. Yes he could.
ACTION
Not anymore than the normal English.
[He glances at Kagerou for a moment more, then looks back to the tape.] I can seal it back up, I think.
ACTION
That isn't English he speaks. I don't know what it is... But it isn't English.
If this helps, I will be relieved.
