kaisou | Video: UN: BRUNO

WHO: Bruno and you
WHERE: Network, his place
WHEN: End of January
WHAT: Bruno has a vision
WARNINGS: Weird future bullshit

[The video feeds starts a little out of focus - Bruno's still getting to grips with technology in general. There's some muttering before finally, it comes into focus with Bruno squinting at the screen close-up. ]

Did I get it? I think I got it!

[He pulls back with a grin- his rats are mingling in the background and the one nestled in his hair seems to be wearing a tiny little bee costume. He does not explain this. At any point. He waves at the camera, a little awkwardly.]

Okay, um- hi. I'm Bruno, for...people I haven't seen yet which is most people because...I'm not great with the people thing. But! I have this...gift from home? I can see the future- which is way less fun than it sounds, trust me. Anyhoo, I decided to try and see into the future of this place a little? Mostly to see if I can get me and my sobrina out of here- full offence - don't wanna stay here. Didn't see that, but I DID see this!

[He picks up a green, glass slate, which he turns to them. On it is a very crude image:

He turns to look at it, grimacing a little.]

Honestly? They usually look better than this. Like, they don't normally look like a five-year-old drew them. And I couldn't see the vision very clearly anyway, so I think something's wrong with my gift? Weird. I saw this rodent that was shooting lightning and a net being thrown at it. They're not my rodents, FYI- they can't shoot lightning. [He snort-laughs like that's the funniest thing ever.] Like, what are they? My sister? Hah.

[He lifts the plate up again, so people can see the...really ugly picture.]

Soooooo if weird lightning rodents and nets mean anything to anyone? This might be yours? Our ours? Who knows!

[She doesn't much look like she believes him! But that's how it goes.

But that's an important question, isn't it? Is Mister Donut Alive?]

He said he's not. [He certainly growled about it enough.] That's why no one else sees him, he said. He's not here though.

[He's just gonna stare a little longer, before making a long, drawn-out ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound. ]

Okay, I get it now. He's your imaginary friend! Okay, phew, wow, I was weirded out for a second there.

[????????]

...That's not a nice thing to call someone... [She eventually says, shaking her head with a frown.] Mister Donut's real, he's just lonely since only me and Hoshi and Jiji can see him...

...And now I don't get it.

[He's...just gonna reach for the off button- trying to escape a conversation that's got a little too confusing for him. If it were in person, he'd have walked off, but modern technology is saving him from this! Hazzah! Luckily he doesn't quite know how to work this thing properly so it's a lot of fumbling. ]

Any-anyway, I'm gonna... go stuff to do. Rats to feed. You know how it is.

[Perhaps far, far more fortunate, Bruno has presented AN ALTERNATE TOPIC.]

Oh-!

[With a gasp, she leans toward the phone.]

...can I see the rats..?

[Uh oh. He freezes, hand on the power button.]

Uhhhhh....sure? Hang-hang on.

[He vanishes off-screen and for a while, it's almost as if he's gone, but then he reappears with a black and white rat in his hands. ]

This is Sofia.

Ooohhhhhh...

[Is it possible to see something closer through a screen??

...It isn't, so she'll move back to a normal phone distance- she's clearly having trouble containing her excitement however. Practically vibrating on the spot, she carefully greets-]

Hi Sofia.

....you're very cute, like a cow...

[Those are cow colors, ergo-]

[She is a very pretty rat, and people appreciating his rats will always earn major brownie points with Bruno. He lifts her to look at her, her little rat nose snuffling at his face as he does so.]

You know...you're right. She kind of does look like a cow.

Is she very soft? Does she get lots of cuddles?

[Only the most Vital of questions about rats here folks!]

She's very soft, and yeah, she sure does. They all do.

Ohhhhhh....

[That is the sound of longing, big time. Oh! To be able to hold a soft cuddly rat!

wait] All of them..?

[Is it actually possible to fit that much tiny awe in one even more tiny child?

Yes.]

[Rat therapy is REAL therapy!!!]

Hah, yeah. I uh... I've got four so far.

["So far" because he knows there's always going to be more rats. ]

Ooooohhhhhh...

[That's so many more than one...]

...Is it okay to see all of them..?

Oh uh...sure thing. Gimmie- gimmie a sec.

[He vanishes off-screen for a moment, returning with a handful of rats. He puts them down in front of the camera.]

So, um, here they are. All the rats.

Ohhhhhhh....

[They look so soft and so amazing, she can't even-!] ...Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you...

[Soft voice. Soft voice for small rat ears. Oh, they are cute!]

[They squeak their soft rat squeaks.]

Yeah, they're pretty great, right?

[Without even an ounce of hesitation (And for that matter without looking away from the rats), Suzume gives her whispered agreement.]

You're very very lucky...

[Oh! To be in possession of lovely cute rats!]

[Equally, without a sliver of hesitation- because this man sure does love his heckin' rats!]

I really, really am.
