video, after the caverns

[fuck1ngusernam3]

 So, correct me if I'm wrong about this. 

[Hank doesn't bother with an intro, just starts right on in. The angle he's holding his wrist shows both his face and the stick he's dragging along the wall behind him, which has been in a fire at some point in the recent past and leaves a long black trail of ash over the wall as he walks.]

But when all you heroes trooped into the haunted caves under the mysterious freaky lake the communication plan was along the lines of, 'gee, if someone gets their feet ate off by some freaky bullshit I sure do hope they yell real loud so I can get there before they bleed out' right? I mean, I trust you guys know to make a post letting us all know if you need backup, but what if this- [Here the screen shakes as Hank wiggles his wrist, indicating the watch] -gets busted, or stolen, or whatever? 

I don't know, I was just thinking, next time a bunch of us, or just anyone, goes into something that might get bad there should be some kind of post stuck to the top of our feed that we could all check, just something like this-

[He stops walking, still talking as he starts to scratch a little list in ash onto the wall beside him.]

Hey, I wonder how little Suzy's doing. Oh, she checked in an hour ago, she's probably fine.

[He writes Suzy on the wall, and a checkmark next to her name.]

How about JimBob the Murder Bot? Oh, he hasn't checked in for about seven hours, I should take someone to go look for him.

[Next to JimBob the Murder Bot he doodles a little skull. Sorry Jimbo, it's hard out there for a figurative probably-dead robot. Better luck next time.]

Or maybe you guys would rather do some kinda daily role call like in school or, hell, maybe it's just more fun to lone wolf your way through all this world saving shit, what do I know. Decide amongst yourselves. I might be around, I might not. Just thought I'd throw this out there. I'm gonna go eat.

[ That's probably for the best. ]

Well, if you find someone who figures out how to do that, let me know. I won't object to learning more ways to use this device.

[she does squint a little when he says she's the one making things complicated, before arching an eyebrow at him]

Weren't you the one suggesting a check-in system to begin with? I was merely adding another idea to the pile.

Having a log here means there's something to compare and contrast with. I don't see what's complicated about having a record of anyone who's ever visited the Temple for between world visits, or whatever is supposed to happen while you're stuck here.

Ah, I guess I just don’t see why we need a record of every single person who’s ever been here. Or, fuck, maybe I’m just lazy - I was kind of hoping someone would take the whole check in thing off my hands and run with it, so maybe I just don’t want one more thing to have to push people into. But I don’t see how that’d keep all the idiots here from getting themselves killed, and it’s kind of hard for me to get all hyped about just keeping track of everything for the hell of it. There’s this guy, I talked to him somewhere else on this post, he’s trying to record all sorts of shit, so if that’s what you’re into I can link you to his shit.

Uh, sorry. I guess I could try to teach you something about this watch thing after all, if you want, kind of make up for being such a buzzkill. There anything you really want to know?
