001 // Video: Bricks for Tim

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

[Stephanie Brown had laid low on her first day in the tower. She avoided people, ate her oatmeal alone, and observed.

But now it was day two, and Stephanie had a lot of questions.

Questions she would rather like answered.

She put on her civvies, and decided to ask her questions, starting with an easy one. Or at least, she hoped it was easy.]

Sooooooo did anyone else get one of these, or am I just special?

[she waves a red brick back and forth across the screen]

So I am special. Good to know.

[she pauses for a moment]

This place have any windows? I think I've thought of a use for my special brick.

Blasting through? You seem like my kind of girl.

I'm Stephanie, and I'm hoping you have an idea of what's going on in this tower.

...Are they collecting blonde girls? It's like Rapunzel, only creepier. And with less hair. Thank God for that.

[...Well she saw she was mentioned] Ah hello...they don't usually give out bricks but you never know right? I take it you're new?

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Maybe while I'm here I'll write a book about the many things a brick is good for. Everyone will be filled with jealousy.

[ She smiles. ] I am the newest of the new! The name's Stephanie. It's nice to meet you.

[pineandmaple.livejournal.com]

You only need several hundred more to make a house.

I'm Canada. It's nice to meet you Stephanie.

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Gee, I sure do hope that one day I'll have enough.

[SRS THINKING FACE] You're one of the country people Rose mentioned.

Video. And if Ienzo's non-caps-ness puts you off, tell me and I'll cut it out.

...no, as far as i know, not everyone is issued a... brick. [He takes a short pause to eye the object in her hand.] ...though... as i'm sure you've noticed... everyone does have a chest near their bed with personal items in it... that is the only reason i can think of.

...unless the tower is falling apart.

No worries!

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Well, now I just feel special.

...I don't know if that'd be a good or a bad thing.

Re: No worries!

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

...nor do i.

[Upside: there's a weakness in the tower, and people can break out. Downside: there's a weakness in the tower, it's going to collapse, and everyone dies.]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Weeeeell, look on the bright side. You now know the one person in possession of the brick that could save everyone! That's pretty impressive.

[have a Molly in a cat hat]

What's the brick for?

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

No idea! Maybe it's a magic brick, and will not reveal its purpose or power until the destined moment.

Nice hat.

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

Can we name the brick Destiny then! Or is that lame? It's kinda lame. We should name it something different. What else?

[she touches her hat, she forgot which one she was wearing] Thanks! it's one of my favorite!

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

No way, Destiny is an awesome name. It even doubles as an explanation. You can't beat that.

[thisclinchesit]

Can't say I received a brick when I arrived here, no.

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Guess I really am special. I almost feel honored.

[thisclinchesit]

Was it with the letters, or in your trunk?

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

In my trunk. It was right on top of my clothes.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

Steph? [Hey Steph, this is your ex-boyfriend looking completely shocked to see you. After a moment, he composes himself and sighs. Of course she got a brick. The universe hates him.]

It's good to see you. Just keep that thing away from me.

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

[Steph is equally shocked, but they were on good-ish terms last time they talked, right? So she figures it will be okay. Not awesome, but okay. Besides, she's got a brick with her!]

...and suddenly, everything makes sense.

I guess someone out there's looking out for me, after all.

[she smiles] It's good to see you too, Tim.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and that same person must hate me. [Even so, he's smiling.]

The only other person from our world so far is Bart. You remember him?

video!

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

I sure didn't get one. What're you even supposed to do with it?

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

After doing some investigating, I've discovered that it's for 'that special someone.'
