Shakily, the camera is picked up and flipped over on to a person’s face. He is a boy with greasy, dirty blond hair. He looks to be in his teens. In the background is a wall with a shuttered window, and he is on a bed. He checks to see if the camera is on, and starts talking. “Hey everyone, this is Josh Walkins bringing you the first video in JVlog. I’ll be talking about, well, a situation I found very intriguing that was brought up lately. I’ll give my thoughts on the matter through this video blog thingy. So, for anyone who doesn’t live in America or who lives under a rock, the government has been obviously covering something up. I’ve been looking into the case and have found some information. Last month, the government closed down the street right next to us explaining ‘it was under construction.’” “Now, everyone who lives in this town or has half a brain knows that’s B.S. We drive by there every day to go to high school and when that happened, they had FBI cars swarmed all over the place. They had one house in particular closed off. It’s actually the house of my best friend, Lance. Or it used to be. He was moved out, he told me, and his father was taken to jail for some reason he didn’t know. He wouldn’t say any more, it looked like he was pretty shaken. Anyway, Lance was moved to his mom’s house, not that far away. I think the whole situation is pretty fishy.” “On to the next point. A couple weeks ago, the government banned a show. It was a big thing, and a couple protests broke out over it. Apparently it was loved by ‘bronies’ or something. I don’t know; I didn’t watch it. It was, ah…what was it called?” He pulls out a piece of paper. “Oh yeah. It was called: ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.’ Lance was a big follower of the show, he was pretty mad. The government never explained why they banned it, either. Just, boom; it’s gone” A loud, indistinguishable, female voice is heard in the background, and Josh turns his head to the side and yells, “Okay Mom, just a minute!” He then faces the camera again. “Okay, well that looks like that is all for JVlog this time, see you guys, bye!” The camera shuts off and the screen is blank. >: VIDEO FINISHED. PLAY NEXT VIDEO “JVlog2” (Y/N) >; Y >: PLAYING VIDEO. . . The screen abruptly turns on again, showing Josh Walkins. He looks at the camera with a look of excitement and fear. “Umm hi guys, this is Jvlog and Josh Walkins here. This is somewhat of an emergency announcement. Today at school I found Lance, who had been avoiding me and practically everyone else, and forced out some juicy details! He refused to let me do it with the camera but oh well.” He pulls out a notebook. “Okay. So, I asked him a couple questions before he started…well, freaking out. The first question I asked him was, ‘Do you know anything more about the jailing of your father?’ He winced, and then said, ‘Sort of. They didn’t jail him for no reason.’ I tried to get him to explain further, but he didn’t. Anyway, the second question I asked was, ‘Does the stuff happening with the T.V. show have to do with your father?’ He didn’t respond to that, so I assume no. So then I asked one final question, ‘Why have you been avoiding everyone?’ He then shook his head and laughed, ‘Avoiding? I’ve been saving you Josh.’ He then started laughing like a madman. I got creeped out and left.” “That’s how that went. It got pretty weird when he started laughing like an evil villain out of a tacky movie. Next time I get the chance I’ll use the camera to interrogate him, so I have proof. So, I hope you guys liked this installment of JVlog, see ya!” The video turns off. >: VIDEO FINISHED. PLAY NEXT VIDEO “JVlog5” (Y/N) >; Y >: PLAYING VIDEO. . . Josh appears on the screen. He looks terrible, his hair is messed up, and he looks like he has not slept for days. He speaks, drearily, “Hey guys… Josh Walkins here with another JVlog… I finally caught Lance and tied him to a chair to interrogate him, so now I have proof for all you haters. ARE YOU HAPPY?!” Josh turns away and sighs. “Sorry, I’m just a little on edge. So, without further ado, here’s Lance…” The camera turns to a teen bathed in a single light and tied to a chair. He looks a little older than Josh, with jet black hair covering his face. “Okay Lance. Have you said all those things?” Lance barely moves. “Yes.” He croaks. Josh lets out a content ‘humph’ before continuing. “Good. Now, I’ll make you answer some questions, since last time I got you here you refused to answer everything I asked. I have reinforcement if you don’t answer me.” The camera moves to a baseball bat sitting next to the chair. “Alright Lance, why have you been avoiding everyone still? You never said anything other than ‘I’m saving you’ or something. Why are you avoiding us? How are you ‘saving’ us?” Lance chuckles. “Josh, if you can’t trust your best friend, then who can you trust? I have been saving you and everyone else. If you can’t believe me, then I’ll have to show you, and I don’t want to do that. It’s what dad would have wanted.” Josh starts seething with explosive rage. “BEST FRIEND?! YOU THINK I’M YOUR BEST FRIEND AFTER ALL YOU’VE DONE TO ME?! YOU MAKE NO SENSE!” Lance chuckles once again. “Josh, how are you so blind? You have no idea what I’ve been through or the emotional and mental struggles I’ve had to go through. First my dad puts me in an experiment, then he’s jailed, then I have to live with my abusive mom. If you hadn’t been so blind, then maybe it wouldn’t have come to this…” Lance breaks the bonds around his body. “I can’t hold him off any longer and…” Lance pops into thin air. Josh screams. Lance reappears right in front of the camera. “What fun is there in making sense?” >: ERROR1241631241636- FILE IS CORRUPTED AFTER SELECTED POINT.

The camera faces the floor. Cackling is heard in the background. It sounds like there are two voices. “…I feel so high right now…” “Yeah this gas does that. Though I’ve gotten used to it.” “Wow. Look at the room.” “What about it? It looks nice.” “It looks like a tornado ripped through here.” Laughing. “That’s because one did.” More laughing. “What’ll happen now?” “Now? Well, that depends on you. I would take over the world, but I’m okay with whatever.” “Hmmm. How about we just keep this to ourselves?” “Oh, alright. Party-pooper.” “Who will I be?” “What?” “Who will I be now?” “Whoever you’re most like, Josh.” “Sweet.” The video suddenly greys out, leaving a blank screen. >: ERROR1241631241636- FILE IS CORRUPTED AFTER SELECTED POINT.
