Freaky Watermelon Videos
You guys asked for it, so here it is!
Please, by no means, search or google 'freaky watermelons'. The results can be permanently damaging. You have been warned.
I've honestly never seen these videos and I truly don't want too. The horrors these poor watermelons endured was viewed by a friend who told me about them.
Anyways, like I said, here it is. I was going to give Danny and his story some love but when I stopped by to see him, well... lets just say the noises coming from Ginger's door told me to come back later. XD
Enjoy!
Scarred for life never took on a real meaning for Arthur. He'd seen the horrors the human mind could produce every time he went under with Cobb and the others. He'd seen people blown to pieces; the twisted humor in a subject's mind, projections mangled in ways unnatural. He'd even seen a man burnt alive.
It was nothing to him.
The scenes weren't real. They never happened. All Arthur had to do was erase them from his mind and he'd never think about them again. He didn't dream anymore, so he had no worries of past plays coming to haunt him in his sleep. Indubitably speaking, he was never 'scarred' for life.
Until one day in the warehouse, when it was just Eames and himself.
Cobb was back stateside with his children for the week; Ariadne was at her school. It was just Eames and himself, lounging about the workshop because they had nothing better to do. Eames was playing away on his stupid laptop and Arthur was doing what he did best: tinkering away. He had a nasty habit of being antsy when his hands weren't working.
It was Eames who caught his eye. He was making the strangest face Arthur ever saw. His head was tilted, his face slight scrunched together, and his eyes looked both confused and horrified.
"Your face'll stick that way if you keep it up. It might be an improvement." Arthur teased.
Eames said nothing. Normally, he'd take the bait and they'd get a good argument going. Something was defiantly not right.
"Yo, Earth to Eames, do you copy?"
"What?" Eames blinked and looked over the laptop.
"You alright? I'm not taking you to the hospital if you're not."
Eames gave him a glared look and then glanced back at the computer screen. Then he smiled. Arthur didn't like what that meant.
"Come have a look at this. My friend sent it as a practical joke."
"I'll pass." Arthur said, and went back to tinkering.
"Fine then, be a pussy about it."
Arthur knew Eames was baiting him. He knew he should just ignore it. However, what he should do and what he did were always two different things.
"What is it?" Arthur snapped, laying his tools down and walking over to him.
"I will warn you," he said, lowering the screen as Arthur stood beside him, "it's not for the faint of heart."
The grin Eames sported was enough to reel him in.
"Just show it to me already." He snapped again.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." He sang and lifted back up the screen and clicked the play button.
The video lasted for one whole minute. It was one whole minute Arthur would never forget. By the end, he was certain he was sporting the same look Eames had earlier, only with more horror and less confusion.
He now knew what it meant to be scarred for life.
Even when he was on his death bed, he was more than confident he would never forget what he just saw. It was a good thing he didn't dream anymore; the nightmares would be endless.
"Why in God's name," Arthur said gradually as he found his voice, "would anyone do that to a watermelon?"
"It's like a train wreck. You want to look away but you can't." Eames added.
"I'll never eat watermelon again."
"You think we should show this to Cobb?"
Eames looked up at Arthur and he looked back at him.
"Oh yea." They said in unison.
Okay so I never really said what happened to the poor watermelon. I'll let you decide since I'm sure whatever you think up is probably ten times worse! Ha.
That was fun. I hope you enjoyed!
P.S.- I don't know why, but every time I envision Arthur, he HAS to be doing something. It just feels like that is what his character does; that and I truly never know what to do with him because he had so little screen time. =/
