[So this entry is tagged 'party progress', but when the video comes on it's very obviously not.

Everyone know that strange "guy" with the modulated voice always wearing the suit? Well, say hello to Vandal. She's not wearing the suit today. No helmet, no courier text. Turns out she's just your typical female human. But she's... not looking so good.]

Someone I-

Please. I don't feel right... I ca...

[Behind her, appears to be her little home, partially painted normally, but the paint job trails off into clusters of complex glyphs and symbols. The center looks like two pillars, spiraling up to two points, twisted like a helix.

Vandal is shaking, face coated in a fine layer of sweat.]

I'm turning into one of those things, I need to stop it I need to-

[Her hand is lifted. Sure does look like a normal hand, but she holds it out as though it were some grotesque limb.]

It's starting already! Please god- it won't go away this time! Someone please.

I need to cut it off before it spreads!

[Someone is obviously hallucinating.]

Your hand is fine!

[RIGHT BECAUSE THAT'S HELPFUL.]

What's happened to you? Did someone -- has someone done something to you?

[vandalization]

No it's NOT! Fuck! I can't make it shut up!

video;

[thxforthememories]

It looks fine to me. Why would I say that if it wasn't true?

Make what 'shut up'?

[vandalization]

I...

I'm going crazy...

But I can see it. Feel it.

The message. It won't stop it's all static and things I can't understand-

It's like a code.

[thxforthememories]

There's nothing to feel. Your hand is fine.

[Oh -- she means...]

You're hearing a code?

video;

[vandalization]

Nnnggh...

Something like that-

My head is so full of fuck. There's no room for anything else!

video;

[thxforthememories]

What if you wrote it down?

Put it somewhere that isn't in your databanks?

video;

[vandalization]

I do and it just won't stop coming it won't stop!

video;

[thxforthememories]

You weren't like this before though... something must have stopped it.

video;

[vandalization]

The... sometimes. Things help. Make it quieter but it's just getting worse...

video;

[thxforthememories]

What things?

... Where are these things? Do you need them brought to you?

video;

[vandalization]

Heh...

[She shivers hard.]

The whiskey. And pills...

video;

[thxforthememories]

Where are they?

video;

[vandalization]

Nowhere they don't work anymore they stopped working...

video;

[thxforthememories]

... Then what can I do?

You've been good to me. I... don't want to ignore this.

video;

[vandalization]

If I lose myself...

If I become one of those things.

Please kill me.

video;

[thxforthememories]

Lose yourself...

[Wouldn't death be preferable to losing everything you were...?]

All right.

If that happens, I promise. I will kill you. And it will be painless.

[vandalization]

Thank you.

video;

[thxforthememories]

... you don't have to.

I wouldn't want to live either. If they took away everything I was.

No one else should have to do the same.

[vandalization]

Nnngh...

[She'll have to question you later about your past.]

video;

[thxforthememories]

[whenever you're less insane, honey]

There are others coming. You'll be fine until they arrive. They'll see to you.

video;

[vandalization]

Yeah...




Yeah. Perceptor is. Here.

video;

[thxforthememories]

Good.

He seems very smart. He'll look after you.

But... I will keep a line open for you. If you need...

[vandalization]

[A soft, strained sound.]

Thanks.
