[3] Video/Action for Violet City
[The camera is pointed at a Munna sitting on a picnic table. It stares back with serene, unblinking eyes.]
[It turns to show Blake, who has strain showing around his eyes and does not look real fucking happy.]
I have this aardvark piggy bank thing and it doesn't make any sense.
Whenever I let the damn thing out, it keeps floating off and then coming back in the middle of the night and chewing on my head. It's-- [his eyes avoid looking directly into the screen] It's goddamn weird.
[There's something else, but he can't go announcing it. The last thing he needs is people thinking he's a nut.]
Does anybody know anything about these things? The phone doesn't say much useful- [he breaks off and shouts offscreen] Hey! Get out of there!
[The phone is tossed down on the table. Sideways, the screen shows the Munna diving into Blake's backpack where it's sitting on the bench. Cheerfully ignoring Blake swearing at it and trying to grab it, it scatters things all over the place with its stubby legs until it finds what it was looking for. It floats up with a spoon floating in front of its face.]
[It stares straight at Blake as the spoon bends at a ninety-degree angle.]
[Blake growls at it] And stop doing that!
[The spoon unbends itself.]
[Blake crosses his arms and nods firmly.] That's better.

[...Yeah, it's a long story, and Riku winces just thinking about it, bringing one hand to his arm, fortunately free of bite marks by now.]
Best bet's to just try getting its attention somehow.

[Blake waves his hand in front of the blob's unblinking eyes] Hey, Mark Wahlberg! What's your problem?
[Its eyes focus, and it looks straight at him.]
[(float alone atone unknown
catch and chase, face, erase
in the quiet the echo drop
time's eroding, if you fail
(piles of pieces that cross shadows. What's this? Curious, play)
you have no right
make him pay
rain rain go away)]
Jesus fuck!
[Blake shoves the Munna away. It rolls placidly across the table and comes to a rest on its back. The weird, pink feeling in his brain cuts off.]
[Blake's gone white.] The fuck was that?!
video
[Because, yeah, Carter's expression alone speaks volumes.]

[Blake is shaken. The real world, he knew how that worked. A lot of it was shit, but it was familiar. It was his shitty world, and he knew the rules and the limits. Things didn't dig into your brain.]
There's shit a blob monster shouldn't know.
[The Munna makes a curious mm? Has she done something wrong? She had talked to him like he asked.]
[Blake stares the creature down. His hand grips the edge of the table.] Stay out of my head.
