Video: UN: BRUNO

[wedonttalkabout]

WHO: Bruno and you!
WHERE: In his Vision Cave in Casita
WHEN: 18th Feb
WHAT: Another super fun vision!!
WARNINGS: Talk of decapitation and a shitty MSpaint picture of it.



[Bruno is sitting in a large cavernous room with a sandpit in the middle. It's not the fun kind of sandpit though and Bruno is definitely not having a good time. He looks more stressed than usual as he turns the feed on.]

Okay, so I thought I'd give this looking into the future of this place thing one more shot. Just- just to see if I could see if anything...awful was coming. Or maybe if there was an exit to this unending nightmare? You know how it is. Anyway, the answer to that is absolutely not.

[He raises his little glass vision plate to the screen, just as poor quality as it was last month. He jabs a single finger at it in a panicked motion.]



Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, can I please draw your attention to the DECAPITATED HUMAN HEAD?!!! Okay there's also some...fish with glasses and kind of a cane here too and I don't know what that's about, but what I really think we should be focussing on here is the DeCApItAtEd HuMAn hEad.

[He drops the plate, raising his hands.]

Anyway, I'm done. I am super done with literally everything. I'm just gonna go back to living in the walls where I didn't have to worry about any, and I really can't stress this enough, decapitatted human heads.

Okay, decapitated human head aside, could you have maybe seen a frog instead of a fish? Just curious.

[A beat.]

Wait, what's this about living in the walls?

[wedonttalkabout]

I mean, it looks like a fish? It's got fishy parts? Why would it be a frog?

[Casually.]

Oh. I lived in the walls of my home for the last ten years.

I came out recently.

From the walls.

...But now I kinda want to go back.

[That explains everything, right? ]

[drewthetower]

Yeah, okay, where're you living right now? I have I bottle of...some kind of brown liquor my aunts gave me as a joke housewarming gift that I'm never gonna drink and you clearly need it more than I do. Holy fuck.

[wedonttalkabout]

[He's just gonna look at the screen like August is a gift from the gods.]

Yes! Yes please, I very much want to be not-sober right now. You are a very good person.

[drewthetower]

If I bring you food, is your sister gonna get offended or does the promise of terrible, bad for you junk outweigh any fear?

[Jun, in his very soft and high voice with laugh a little nervously]

What the fuck?

[wedonttalkabout]

[That is not a voice that should be swearing, but he ain't your dad, he's not gonna get involved.]

I don't know! It's just a head!! Like what the heck this place? Why a head?!!!

[whiteshroud]

I don't know. Severed heads are NOT a normal thing in this city as far I know.

[AS FAR AS I KNOW]

[bendyandthepinkmachine]

Oh, so humans CAN poof!

[wedonttalkabout]

[Small...pink...person.]

...Excuse me? Poof? Do- do you mean die?

[bendyandthepinkmachine]

[She's very pink! And she shrugs. Honestly she failed to kill one of you so she has no idea what happens to humans who die when they are killed.]

Oh it's um - I guess if you don't know then maybe you don't. Soooooo you looked into this place's future? Like a Sapphire? I didn't know humans had gem powers!

[That's pretty neato. She's still getting used to the idea of a human world where gems don't exist, so she's not being helpful in giving context for anything.]

[nonmagical]

I uh… what?

[wedonttalkabout]

We're not leaving the house all next month. We need to get supplies and hole in and not go anywhere near anything that's gonna result in severed heads.

[nonmagical]

... Okay. We can do that.

[She's not going to argue, not really wanting to deal with potential severed heads because what the actual hell. She won't ask if he's okay, because he pretty clearly isn't, but...]

Do you want me to come up there for a little while?

[To have someone to sit with or... well, whatever he needs.]

[neverbreaks]

[ Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

M...Maybe it's not...an actual human head? It could be like a...a doll, or something?

[ She can only hope, because what in the world. ]

[wedonttalkabout]

I don't know, it looked pretty real in the vision.

[He hates this. He wants someone else to hold the power of Knowing Shit from him for like...one day.]

Any-anyway, I think we should just...stay in the house? Like get a bunch of supplies and root ourselves in. Wait for the bad head thing to pass and we'll be fine.

[neverbreaks]

[ She hums thoughtfully. It was disturbing to think about, but if that's what he saw, then she'll believe him. Which means that something very bad could happen. ]

I don't suppose you saw when it might happen, did you?

[ She knows his visions aren't working as well, just like the rest of their Gifts. But if they had some idea, maybe they could better prepare for...something. ]

[cardinalrule]

[Well, that's another Madrigal gift down.]

This is the least impressive vision I've ever seen. Why a head? Did the fish do that? What does a fish even need a cane for?

[wedonttalkabout]

[What a fun learning day for Hunter!]

i don't know. i just see things, i can't tell you what they mean. i don't control what they SHOW, either.

[lovemax]

Ah.

Okay I've had my fun in America. How do I go back to a fantasy world where all I need to worry about is the demon king?

[wedonttalkabout]

[What.]

What? I'm sorry, did you say demon king?

[camaleonico]

[ Why, yes, he's making this video from literally the other side of the house, unnecessary novelty, here. Tecnología...

He's clearly sitting in the kitchen (surprise), wearing a flat face and a thick tone to match. He has sympathy, Bruno, he really does... ]

Well— that was nice. Comforting. Think you'll be okay, uh, not in the walls, though...? And if not, thennn... you got room for the rest of us in there, Tío?

[ Julieta, Isabela, Luisa, Mirabel, Dolores, and Camilo all shoved in Bruno's makeshift room with him. Either join them or they'll join you, basically. Family first, right? He'd rather be crowded than decapitated, surely a general consensus. ]

[wedonttalkabout]

[This is the life they lead now. Bruno, for one, welcomes this new novelty. But that's mostly because Jun showed him where all the rat videos are on youtube.]

Nothing more comforting than a severed human head, sobrino.

[It's like a big hug. In vision form. ]

It was mostly hyperbole. [WAS it, Bruno.] I'm pretty sure there's a better room than mine for us to hole up in together. My tower's kinda... miserable.

[pan_acea]

Is... is the head like a sugar skull, perhaps? [It's not November but um, what!?

Please don't go back to living in the walls. [Her eyes are pleading, because she really isn't sure he's being hyperbolic.]

[wedonttalkabout]

Nope, no- no, definitely a real head. Had real eyes and hair and everything.

[He didn't want to see a DECAPITATED HUMAN HEAD ever, Julieta and now he has. It's the worst. Still, he catches her look and frowns, abashed.]

I- I mean I wouldn't really. It's just- this looks really bad and I can't even see exactly how. This is about as good as it gets.

[A vague slab of near-nonsense. How are they supposed to prepare against this? He's never had the happiest of opinions on his gift but at least he knew it could be used for something. It's a familiar feeling he'd normally bury if he were speaking to anyone else, but Julieta knows him too well for him to get away with that, so he exhales sharply. ]

I can't see enough to make sure we can stay safe.
