First Vlog | video | daemon: hunterd

[bratpack]

[ Wyatt had tried typing on Hunterd's weird light-based keyboard for all of about eight seconds, before he got tired of that and turned the camera on instead. It's late, there's a hole in his side, and he has things he needs to do. He's wearing a hospital gown, and he's clean. He also looks strangely healthy for a patient, a result of his real powers coming back in full force. ]

What is up, my people. I'm Wyatt, and this guy – [ Gesturing at his daemon, and therefore directly at the camera. ] – is Hunterd. Well, I guess you can't see him. Uh…oh, check this out.

[ He snags a handheld mirror from a bedstand nearby, and holds it up in front of Hunterd. It shows a daemon shaped like an enormous black wolf, easily twice the size of a regular wolf. Those of you who knew Wyatt's adoptive dad, Hunter, might think he looks familiar. After a few seconds, Wyatt lifts the mirror away and grins at the camera. ]

He's badass, right?! He's like a robowolf. I mean I guess you all have one of these but damn. Hunterd is a beast.

Anyways, we are brand new to Space Apocalypseland! Welcome to our first vlog. I'm calling this episode: What the fuck was up with New York, man?!

[ He holds up his hands. ]

Now, I know what you're thinking. 'Wyatt, don't be stupid, that was just some crazy dream', right? That's what I thought too, except!

[ He holds up one finger, then steps back, and pulls the gown off over his head. There's a square dressing over his ribs, which Wyatt peels back to reveal an ugly, jagged wound held together with stitches. He points at it. Exhibit A, ladies and gentlemen. ]

Check this out. Do you see the size of this thing? I think it's gonna scar!

[ Which he says like that's great news. He pats the dressing back over it and leans down towards the camera. If he's in pain, he's not showing it. ]

I ain't ever had a dream that did that. But for real, that shit was fucking crazy. How many of you had your powers switched? Cause, check that box for me, but also, they turned me human, and I'm a goddamn werewolf, guys. That's not cool. The hot guy who rescued me, though? He's cool. Man, if you're listening to this, I owe you one. I think you said your name was Jaden? Hold your hand up or something, I would literally be dead if it wasn't for you.

[ That's the most sincere Wyatt has sounded in this whole video, though he's actually been serious about everything. He doesn't put the gown back on, implying that he really does intend to film the rest of this in his underwear. He does move to sit on his hospital bed, though. He might look more energetic than he should, but that wound is still healing. ]

Next on my list: calling home. Does anyone know how we do that, cause Hunterd says he can't, and there's a bunch of people I know who need to get their asses here. It's important, I'm kind of a big deal.

[ Pause. ] I'm just kidding, but I do need to talk to them, so if you got tips, help, advice. Carrier pidgeon? I'll take it. I guess that's all. Come say hi, this place is fucking boring. I'm out!

[ He salutes the camera while it signs out. ]

Comments

[bratpack]

kind of
i'm adopted.
but yeah, he's my dad

the ghost kind said he was at the wedding too
i don't think he knew hunter so well though

you must have if you were his friend. was he happy there in eudio?

[vexy]

he is one of the happiest blighters i've ever known

full of life, that one. always up to play around.

[ 'Is' not 'was', he couldn't bring himself to type was. ]

ghost king? nico. yeah he's closer to rafa.

[bratpack]

course he is
i'm always wrasslin him. can't beat him yet though
yet.

you say your name was vex? i'll tell him you said hey

[vexy]

you can talk to him??

[bratpack]

nah, not yet
i mean when i go back

or when he gets here i guess. there was this whole thing where shane's portal totally freaked out and we all got separated on the inside

it's whatever. i got here like a month later than shane even though we went in at the same time so fuck knows when the others are coming

magic, right? but we'll work it out.

[vexy]

[ Oh, that was disappointing. He really shouldn't have set himself up to hope like that... ]

yeah. rafa's got good luck, i think. Hunter's bound to show up sooner or later.

same thing happened to nico, too. he got separated from his beau and he showed up a month later.

[bratpack]

yeah, maybe

anyways if he doesn't we'll just go back to him
we gotta get back home anyway.

what about you, where are you from?

[vexy]

yeah.

eudio. well, technically i'm from earth, wales to be the most precise but who cares i don't want to go back there. so eudio it is. paradise, really.

[bratpack]

is it really that good?

does it have like beaches and shit

i'm from earth too though. i never been to wales but i think hunter was from england or some shit
we live in prague now
hey you should visit! i bet he'd love to see you.

[vexy]

yeah, no shit. it was really that good. it had some of the best beaches i've ever seen and a night life that never ended.

or you should come to eudio once all this is sorted. prague's alright but it has nothing on paradise.

[bratpack]

paradise, huh

i guess it couldn't hurt to see it
what was it like? and how'd you meet rafa and hunter?

[vexy]

gorgeous. no one could hurt you, everybody wanted to shag and were bloody models. i think i got more laid in the year i was there then however long i lived back on earth.

rafa i met in my nightclub. he looked like a mate of mine so i came up to him with my flirt game all ready and he nearly tore my head off cos i'm fae and he could smell it

Hunter showed up later and once Rafa told him i was a "ok fairy" him 'n i went out a lot. played a lot of hunting games, which is why i recognized the wolf right off.

[bratpack]

woah, you're a faerie?
yeah hunter's pretty good at hunting faeries

did you know them while the war was going on?
cause i wasn't around then but everyone talks about it

your eudio place sounds pretty cool. i hope you can get back there, man. maybe you can show it to me too

[vexy]

yeah, he is. i was really good at eluding shifters, but it seemed i was his specialty so i usually got caught. mind you, it's not like i really WANTED to escape

[ Normally he'd had a wink-face at the end of a sentence like that, but he wasn't in the mood. ]

i wasn't around for their war. eudio was separate from all that. i know rafa showed up from one point in time, then left go to catch up with Hunter and came back.

[ Vex hadn't even noticed that he kept capitalizing Hunter's name while leaving Rafa's all lowercase. Why was that? Maybe extra respect for the dead. ]

they didn't talk much about it, but i didn't ask much about it either. i don't much care for the past.

yeah, that'd be fun.

[ 'Probably won't happen, kid. Don't keep your hopes up.' part of him wanted to say, but he refrained. ]

[bratpack]

it's good to meet a friend of his
are you friends with rafa and shane now?
i mean i'm not living with them or anything but
maybe i'll see you around their place

[vexy]

rafa, yeah. i'd say we're close.

shane i have a beer every so often with. he's alright. a bit too perfect if you ask me

if you wander around shirtless, count me in

[bratpack]

yeah hunter thinks so too
shane's a good guy. when our world was in trouble he tried to get us out

uh, and i'm shirtless a lot? it's a werewolf thing, clothes get in the way
you probably know that already
i'm pretty sure i shouldn't try to hit on my dad's boyfriend though, that's kind of wrong

[vexy]

i'm no one's boyfriend

i just appreciate a bit of eye candy, that's all

SAM GET OUT OF HERE

[bratpack]

wow okay
tbh if that's how you talk then you're probably his type

what do you look like anyway?? you've seen me

SAM STAY FOREVER <3

[vexy]

[ sends him a pic and then a selfie ]

that's what i have at the moment

[bratpack]

oh hey, you're married?

you know i still ain't used to the part where married guys fuck other guys, even though i moved to a kingdom where it's common
i guess i ain't been there long enough

hey i'll watch out for you though. i'm glad there's someone else who knows my dad.

[vexy]

i was

[ awkward. pause. ]

right - i'll see you later then

[bratpack]

[ Shit. ]

yeah
right

hey i'm sorry. i didn't think
you had a ring in your picture, is all.

[vexy]

yeah, i never take it off

[ He's definitely not volunteering any additional information, clearly it's a rough subject. ]

[bratpack]

[ He's not going to pry. ]

yeah i wouldn't either

i'm real sorry. my mouth should come with a warning label
or my fingers i guess
