WHO: Ash + the app
WHERE: The app mostly
WHEN: June 16th
WHAT: Ash needs to explain something to the app
WARNINGS: Ash swears? Discussion of Krusnik and the child experimentation therein?

[When the video starts, Ash...is not in his RV and he does not look good at all. He frankly looks like he's been through literal hell and when he speaks he doesn't sound all that much better.]

I know I ain't got that many people on this stupid app who give a fuck, but people might've felt somethin' in the spirit realm a few days ago and this is just easier.

[A beat because really how do you explain this? Especially to people who probably don't care?]

If you were here in, what, March? You probably heard about Krusnik. If you weren't, they're a bunch of fucking assholes who take kids or people who won't be missed and do all sorts of fuckin' shit to them. The lab I was at was tryin' to get someone possessed by a god. I didn't get a god, but I got as close as they probably ever got before I got out. If you were ever wonderin' why I was always picking fights, having an asshole in your head that said "fight every week or you're gonna suffer" from the age of nine will do that to you.

[God he hates this. The recording actually cuts out here and doesn't cut back in for some time as he tries to make himself do this. He needs to do this. If he doesn't, he won't use the app ever again and he knows that about himself.]

Anyway, fucker's gone. I didn't pay the price an' he took offense. Opened a tear into his realm and nearly got me good, but...other people noticed and got me out. Ain't possessed anymore so hey, good news, it's possible to break that shit so long as you got a really good healer and people who can destroy spirits or whatever the fuck happened. [He knows but he's not outting Zero's abilities like that.] So. Yeah. If you felt something in the spirit realm a few days ago, that was me. Or, the asshole, I guess.

Just what?

[Headtilt.]

[switchaxe]

[Softly:]

Pat, I didn't expect to live to twenty. I knew that fucker was gonna get me killed one day, and now it's just....gone.

[infezione]

Now you don't have that hanging over your head.

[...]

... Hey. Do you mind if I take human form again for a bit?

[Being cuddled like this is nice but he wants arms and hands again for reasons.]

[switchaxe]

Yeah, just maybe get off the bed first.

[infezione]

You'll need to put me down first.

[switchaxe]

[Oh yeah. Doing that!]

[infezione]

[Once Pat's been put down, he jumps off the bed... only to take his human form.

... Still with the ears, though.

He carefully sits down next to Ash on the bed.]

[switchaxe]

[He scoots to make room.]

You good?

[infezione]

Yeah, I'm good.

[He smiles, giving Ash a quick kiss.]

Anyway. Like I said earlier. We should do something when you feel better.

[switchaxe]

[A very welcomed kiss.]

Yeah? [. . .] Hey, so I ain't seen most Disney movies.

[infezione]

[One beat.

Two.]

... You know, come to think of it, I haven't seen a lot either.

[Bio parents not being big on the whole "fun" thing and all.]

[switchaxe]

Wanna watch some? We can do that while I'm still recoverin' and do something else later.

[infezione]

Yeah, definitely!

[...]

And you know, I never did get a chance to use those amusement park day passes.

[There's four, but that just means they can go twice--]

[switchaxe]

Wanna save those for my birthday next month, then?

[infezione]

Yeah, that sounds perfect. And let me know where you'll want to go to eat, okay?

But yeah... catching up on Disney movies sounds wonderful.

[switchaxe]

Can't wait.

[infezione]

Me neither.

[There's a quick kiss as he carefully cuddles closer.]

Hm, what else...

[switchaxe]

Anything you want, babe.

[infezione]

Tesoro, c'mon, it's your freedom we're celebrating...

[switchaxe]

Yeah but--tes-what?

[infezione]

Tesoro. It means "treasure."

[switchaxe]

...Pat.

[Nope he is not going to cry fuck you nope--

He is absolutely misty-eyed.]

[infezione]

You're my treasure, Ash, and I will say it as much as you need to hear it.

[Don't think he won't!!]

[switchaxe]

Pat, that's gay. You sap.

[infezione]

Hey, I try to keep it to a minimum usually!
