Title: A Small Talk with Alice

Description: I can't get rid of that image. I'm sorry.

Video: *Video starts. Scene is black before white text appears on screen*

Text: A Small Talk with Alice

Video: *Text fades to black before more text appears.

Text: Alice called me two days ago to come talk with her, so I went.

Video: *Cuts to the camera in a the car seat next to Erika while she drives the car. There is a CD in the CD player playing 'The Riddle' from the musical version of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'*

Erika: *Faintly singing* -All are caught in the middle, of one long treacherous riddle. Can I trust you? Should you trust me too?

Video: *Footage cuts to a minute or two later*

Erika: *Still singing along* -Can I run to you? Are you true to me? I'll do unto you as you do to me! And we slowly learn someone has to burn... *Trails off and stops singing* *Murmurs* Here we are.

Video: *Footage goes black before cutting to Erika holding the camera as she's knocking on the door of the house Erika had stayed in with Daniel and Alice. Alice opens the door and immediately notices the camera*

Alice: *Pointing at camera* Camera? Seriously?

Erika: Er, I was shooting something with this when you called me so I came straight here. I didn't feel comfortable just leaving this in the car.

Alice: *Looks uncertain* Right, well... Come in... *Steps aside*

Video: *Footage cuts to camera resting on counter isle as Erika and Alice sit at it. The camera lens cuts off everything from their shoulders up*

Erika: So how have things been for you?

Alice: Nothing much really. I've just been thinking.

Erika: Thinking? About what?

Alice: Well, I find it weird that... Whoever murdered Daniel didn't come back here. It's actually surprising that they didn't take anything.

Erika: I know, I mean didn't Daniel have some valuables in his room? I can't remember them but... Well, yeah...

Alice: They didn't take anything from our rooms either. And you said those games you had would be pretty valuable, wouldn't they?

Erika: Er... Well, technically they would be, I guess. It would just depend on the person who wanted to buy.

Alice: Do you still have that box?

Erika: Em... It's in my attic. I haven't had time for video games lately. Personal matters.

Alice: Oh. Well, whoever did murder Daniel must have had a personal grudge against him. But I can't think of what he would have done to deserve it.

Erika: *Mumbles* Tell me about it.

Alice: But now I can't help but think, 'what if they come back for us'? They no mater who was here. You-me, the three of us, me-Daniel-

Erika: *Interrupts* You and Daniel? You never said anything. You nor Daniel.

Alice: I guess... *Shrugs a little* It slipped my mind at the time. It wasn't a really big deal so we didn't think much of telling you.

Erika: ... What happened? When exactly?

Alice: Around September. You remember that date you had?

Erika: Wasn't really a date. I waited an hour at that bowling ally and the guy never showed.

Alice: Well, me and Daniel were watching a movie. I forget what it was, but the next thing we know we heard something hitting the sliding doors in the kitchen. We looked and there was this dead bird outside. We checked if it was alive and it wasn't so we assumed it simply hit the window by accident and the shock killed it.

Erika: So it wasn't bleeding?

Alice: Noooo...

Erika: Right, just checking. Er, look I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, but just in case make sure you have your locks locked. Lock your bedroom door from the inside too just in case.

Alice: A bit much, but thanks for the advice.

Erika: No prob. *Stands up* Look, I have to go now. I have class early in the morning.

Alice: *Stands up* Alright. Do you want to meet up for lunch on Thursday?

Erika: *Takes camera* Yeah, Thursday's good.

Video: *Footage goes black before text appears*

Text: I went home then. No sooner had I stepped through the front door did I notice something was wrong.

Video: *Cuts to Erika getting out of the car which she has parked in her garage. She grabs the camera before locking her car and then leaving the garage and shutting the garage door. She then walks to her front door and enters her house. walks past the couch but then stops. She turns around to look at the tv. It is on as is a N64 console with a cartridge in it. On the tv screen is the save menu of 'Majora's Mask'. There are two separate files named, 'PLAY' and 'NOW?'. Erika puts the camera on the couch so it's facing the tv screen and moves to remove the cartridge*

Erika: Not playing man. You can't make me.

Video: *Erika pulls the cartridge out and the tv screen goes black*

Erika: Hmp, good- What the...?

Video: *White text appears on the tv screen, though it's hard to read it on the camera footage*

Erika: *Reading out loud* 'You shouldn't have done that'? *Sarcastically* WOW! That was SO original. Why don't you sing a new tu-

Video: *A image suddenly appears on the tv screen. A high pitch scream mixed with Skull Kid's laughter can be heard as black and white picture of a smiling BEN, with perfectly black circle eyes, and an unknown black substance (possibly blood) dribbling from his mouth*

Erika: AGH! *Moves back too quickly in shock and falls on her ass* Wh-what the fuck?! How is- How the-

Video: *Footage goes black before text appears*

Text: The image stayed on the tv screen. While I was able to turn the screen off, the image would still be there whenever I would turn it back on. When it was still there after a couple hours, I brought it to a repair shop. The image then chose to be gone them, but I left the tv to be examined just in case. As for the cartridge, it disappeared again. I'm not sure if it just does it itself or if in fact someone physically does it. Either way is annoying.

Video: *Just before the video ends, the image of BEN from the tv screen appears, along with the mixture of different pitches of Skull Kid's Laughter*

Twitter: Erika Granger (ChallengedChronicles)

Erika Granger: Just got the tv back. There's nothing wrong it. At least now.

Envy to Erika Granger: I probably don't have to say this, but be careful if you come across this version of Pinkie Pie, she's...unstable and crazy.

Erika Granger Envy: A bit of an understatement if anything, but thanks anyway for the consideration.

Song used: The Riddle.
