[The start of the video feed is... the top of this girl's head. She's grumbling to herself--]

Seriously? No tiktok, but I guess this'll do-- I should probably be grateful--

Oh! Shit! Live, already? [She holds up the communicator to capture her whole face. Farrah's grinning, and she scrambles to stand.] Sorry guys-- total boomer moment. Okay, here we go-- I'll have to do the music myself, but---

[She props the communicator up against a wall, to give everyone a full body view once she scrambles into frame again. Farrah's a relatively small teenager, wearing an adult man's jacket several sizes too big. She throws that off, and the weird girl has a fancy vest that's too big for her under that too. And then she starts to... do a tik tok dance. It's the Git Up, if anyone's curious. Also, she has to hum the music herself. It's a weird fourteen seconds for everyone, okay. Then she scrambles to scoop up the tablet again.]

That was me, Farrah Salieri, doing The Git Up. Like, Follow, Subscribe-- or tell me all about your favorite time that you've been kidnapped!

[A man dressed like he's straight from the twenties appears on video to clap. Once the camera is positioned right.]

Well done, Farrah! I'm not familiar with this dance but it looks like you did good.

The kidnapping probably depends on your definition. But I'd like to ask... what is a boomer?

[brokeforgood]

If you have to ask... [u know???]

It's like. An old person. A baby boomer.

[unpocoloco]

Baby boomer... [He frowns.] oh! You mean after World War Two. That boom. Oh no. No, no, no. I was born nineteen hundred. Turn of the century!

[brokeforgood]

Oh, yeah, you're good then. I don't know why, but boomers are so fuckin' grumpy. People from before that are normally fine.

[It actually feels kind of rare to come across someone familiar with social media beyond this place. Colour him curious. (Though what tiktok is, he has no idea.)]

[brokeforgood]

[awooligan]

[He hates that he would indeed Like, Follow, Subscribe if he could, even if he thinks this is pretty dumb. That's partly the reason why he's so charmed.]

This right here is the most normal this place has been in months
As far as kidnappings go this one isn't the worst but that isn't really a high bar
Last time fucking sucked

What is a boomer?

[Video]

[brokeforgood]

You know, like a grumpy old person.

[Video]

[5thchild]

I see. And you were acting like one? [ look. LOOK. he does not understand how this works ]

[Video]

[brokeforgood]

Yeah, by being super bad at technology. The whole 'video of the top of the head' thing just screams Boomer.

[Here is the world's tiniest clap from a very tiny child with a very tiny voice. If tiktok had been a thing when she had been in school, it was 1000% guaranteed her sisters would have all been dancing up a storm.]

That was a good dance.

[brokeforgood]

[farrah freezes for just a moment, seeing a small pink-haired girl-- especially one with that kind of expression. there's a flash of disappointment-- but she recovers quickly, laughing and beaming.]

Thanks! It's really popular where I'm from.

[pinkmin]

[Luckily (?), it wasn't the first time Vianca had disappointed someone on first meeting. Also luckily (??), her expression was just this all the time so Farrah wouldn't have to worry if she'd noticed or not.]

I see. Why is it called the get up?

[The Git Up, Vianca.]

[21kingpuddings]

nice nice!



this is the only kidnapping I have ever been involved in and lemme tell ya
not really a fan of it

[brokeforgood]

uh oh! dont worry, im here, im a pro--

just dont get attached to anyone bc it sux when they die and they get mad at u when u do stupid stuff

or maybe do get attached, idk, that part was p much the only non shit part of being kidnapped

[21kingpuddings]

uh
I dont think anyone here has died???
like yeah it really really really sucks when someone you like disappears but I am pretty sure none of them are dead
does that normally happen with kidnappings

[Video]

[pinkxeno]

Ohhhh that's REALLY good!! [ Mina claps, excited ]

Never heard of Git Up, tho- is that a dance style?

[Video]

[brokeforgood]

Not really a style-- it's the name of the dance itself.

[Video]

[pinkxeno]

Ohh gotcha! Are there more?
