STUPID  
[ Greetings, Holly Heights. The video feed today will be met with two startlingly blue eyes, deep as the sea with all of the charm of a serial killer's stare. Two pools of serial killer sea. Dark circles dip down as haggard, tired bags beneath the pair of eyes, and as the face pulls back to adjust the camera, many might notice he doesn't look too familiar.

Suddenly, in a rather monotonous tone, he speaks: ]


Amazing. Outstanding. Spirited.

[ Haru pauses for effect. ]

None of these things come to mind when one thinks of Holly Heights. [ His lines are delivered flatly as he steps away from the camera, gaze flitting as he obviously reads from a script. ] With today's wayward youth —

Nngh…

[ the camera turns to a struggling makoto. who is trying to open a bag of chips. the moment is very tense, it’s quiet— and then bullshit flies everywhere, the bag ripping in half, with a full-hearted shout from makoto. there’s a chip on his head when he turns to look at haru, embarrassment not quite surfacing yet. ]

Eh? Looks like it broke…
[ the camera pans over to the floor… chips.. chips as far as the eye can see… ]

You got too excited about food again…

—you started recording? [camera fumble, shit; he’s been caught] Haru, please don’t post—!

[ there’s a struggle, the camera feed going blurry with movement, until the video cuts off. two seconds later, the video starts again, the recordings clearly spliced together during editing. ]

Amazing. Outstanding. Spirited.

None of these things come to mind when one thinks of Holly Heights. With today's wayward youth struggling to find themselves, is it any wonder that the landlord has deprived us of the one thing that could save them.


Something inspiring. Something to raise people's hopes. Something ... free.

Uh… where was this enthusiasm when you were vice-captain of the swim team… Besides, this sounds completely rehearsed?

[ haru has no time for haters and does not reply. ]

We need a mascot. A proper mascot. Here are some examples of proper mascots [ Makoto, in forced misery, holds up drawn pictures of mascots like this. Why are so many in suggestive poses...? ]. I am open to suggestions for mascots, but they have to be good.

I won't accept garbage.
[ -eye twinkle- ]

What’s that supposed to mean…!

[--video cut--]

[nothing in particular is happening on this clip, except for the tv sounds in the background, and two buddies eating pocky after a long day of arguments and mascots. clearly tired from all this tedious brainstorming.]
