[Accidental Video] Backdate of Doom

[ooc: Please to be assuming this was posted accidentally yesterday sometime in the morning.]

[There's a hand that reaches out and picks up several candy hearts out of a dish. All the hearts go into the palm of the person's other hand then get picked up one by one as a voice reads the words out loud]

[There a pause as the hands turn the candy over and over a moment.]

Bit odd. [it's just a whisper and then there's a movement that could be a shrug before the hands disappear, presumably so the person can put the candy in her mouth. Several seconds pass and then fairly suddenly the person ends up sitting on the floor, her knees to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks as she buries her face against her knees.]

[Much later. Individual text messages to Cinna & the Doctor with the hair]

Cinna

Did you save them? I...ate a candy

Doctor

Where are you?

I'm -

[ - and there's a pause of just a moment too long there; stretching out just beyond 'normal' - ]

- fine, thank you.

[iwasherefirst]

[She knows that pause and fine.]

Want to talk 'bout it? I know what fine means.

[aperfectthird]

I promise, I am fine. I do appreciate the offer, though.

[iwasherefirst]

S'okay. Alright then. Thanks for...askin' after me.

Of course. If there's anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to let me know.
