video | no username, just chaos (jan 13)
[Hope you don’t mind Shaky Cam, Trench! Because that’s what you’re getting. A shaky cam shot of the beach. In January. There’s snow and ice all over the place. Frozen chunks of ocean waves lapping at the shore, a cold wind whipping up sand and the occasional bit of sleet. The Wakers are dressed in so many layers, they kind of look like puffballs. In other words, it is COLD. Who in their right mind, aside from said Wakers, would be out in this kind of weather? In this climate?]
Make sure it’s recording! Lance! Make sure it’s recording!
[... oh.]
[That’s who. A pair of fools.]
[Lance’s face comes close to the camera from the side. Those who know him will recognize that he looks four years younger, like he’s actually slept and has no more scars on his face. He’s squinting with his hand on his chin as he examines the Omen that he’s already learned can do things like this (Omen told him himself, which was super cool).]
Dude, it’s a coyote, how am I supposed to–? [A deep, third voice from the ‘cameraman’ interrupts:] I am recording.
Oh. Why didn’t you say so earlier–?! Nevermind- [He turns to look over his shoulder at where Shiro is with his hover bike.] he’s recording! Did you tell the ladies over there to check out the show?
[The camera moves to get Shiro and Lance as well as a group of teenage Trenchie girls in the background in the shot and though he is turned slightly away from his omen, Lance can be seen waving at them and shooting finger guns. Sparkles practically fly off his teeth as he grins and the girls wave back and yell ‘hiii!’.]
[Shiro’s expression flickers between what and that mild teen annoyance slightly older teenagers get at their younger counterparts. He’s still his eighteen year old self, hair all black, scar free, two human hands pushing his goggles onto his face.]
You talk to the girls, I’ll pass. [Dramatic eyeroll.] Come on! Get up here and drive!
[Drive… the hover bike. Which is parked suspiciously close to the ocean. The nose is even pointed out on the half-frozen water. He gestures to Lance to come take the driver’s seat, while he starts clambering up onto the front of the bike. Surely they aren’t going to…]
Aw heck yeah! Come on Valor, keep up and get the money shots! [Lance hops into the driver’s seat as Shiro gets on the front, eager to impress the younger version of his hero, and then he addresses the ‘camera’ or rather, the audience he expects to have, like this is some YouTube stunt channel,or an episode of Jackass.]
Feast your eyes everyone! And ladies~ – we are two of the best pilots on earth, your boys Lance and Shiro, and we’re gonna pull off some of the craziest stunts on a hoverbike ever attempted! Get ready to have your minds blooooown [Lance makes explosion sounds with his mouth and brings his hands up to his head to motion mind blowing, then brings them back to the bike and revs the engine.] Ready, Shiro?
Oh, more than ready. [While Lance has been, understandably, playing the showman, Shiro’s gotten himself crouched up on the nose of the bike. Arms spread, legs bent, like he’s fully intending to surf on the bike while Lance drives.] I’ve got another record to set -
Hit it, Lance!
[Somehow, he’ll manage to stay on, when Lance hits the throttle. He definitely will not stay on his feet, though. The first hard turn, he’ll likely fall with a painfully loud THUD, and then grip the actual nose to stay on. But… he’s laughing? He’s clearly having the time of his life, holding onto his bike like he’s a giant human koala.]
Faster!
You got it!
[Valor, the coyote Omen is able to sprout wings and fly to keep pace with them so he’s absolutely getting those epic shots of Shiro on the nose of the bike and Lance in the driver’s seat. And as Lance goes faster, he goes for some fun stunts, swerving and tilting the hover bike in various ways. And with Shiro on the nose obscuring part of his view and his focus on trying to be impressive with his flying/driving skills, he ends up taking the bike out over the water. And it’s then that he goes too far with the stunt he tries. The bike spins out and then flips over, dumping the two of them in the frigid waters with a yell. Valor, the omen keeps filming and sits right at the water’s edge where they both pop out of the ice cold ocean, shivering and wet. Lance takes a moment to notice his Omen is still recording and he sputters.]
That- that was totally the plan! …R-right, Shiro?!
– Right! Yeah! [It’s hard to talk when your teeth are chattering so hard.] It - Ice! Ice bucket! It’s a giant ice bucket! Ch-hallenge!
Yeah! T-to raise money for- for… Charity!
[There’s a pause. A teeth-rattling pause.]
Yeah! Charity! For the o-orphans!
[Nice save, guys. There’s a long pause, again as Lance looks over at Shiro sidelong, almost nonchalant, but then turns a bit sly...]
...Bet you I can stay in the ice water the longest.
[And the video cuts out.]
Make sure it’s recording! Lance! Make sure it’s recording!
[... oh.]
[That’s who. A pair of fools.]
[Lance’s face comes close to the camera from the side. Those who know him will recognize that he looks four years younger, like he’s actually slept and has no more scars on his face. He’s squinting with his hand on his chin as he examines the Omen that he’s already learned can do things like this (Omen told him himself, which was super cool).]

Maybe "surprise" isn't quite the right word. There's a slurry of memories from before their lives got complicated, where Lance reminds him very much of Matt.
Adam is a very conflicted man.
He manages a neutral expression.]

.. god, teenage boys are so stupid, aren't they. Even when they grow up to have a whole lot more common sense. Thankfully Ange has seen others around town change already, so that at least makes their appearance a whole lot less surprising, even though what she's witnessing in the video is still..
Well.
A lot.
Ange sounds so exasperated when she speaks up. ]

To clarify I mean you, Lance. Hello to both of you and if no one has offered, Dellingr and I can get that vehicle out of the water. But I really would suggest you get out of the water.
We never know what is going to come out of it, month to month.
