Documentary Plot Post
The leak of 'Vols at Large; Violence & Terror' starts out with the best of intentions. A young woman interning at a major news network manages to sneak a copy of the early footage home with her. She counts herself as a champion of Vol rights, an avid blogger and social activist. When she uploads the documentary to a file-sharing site and posts it, she wants the world to see how awful it is. How wrong it is that people can think like this about people. About children.
By the time action is taken and the file is deleted from the server, it's too late. It's been downloaded and rehosted a dozen times over. Word spreads. It trends.
Between the kidnappings, the terrorism and George Cooper's reign of nightmares, Vols are a talking point that every major media outlet is covering. So when one hundred and fifteen minutes of footage covering violent crimes and cruel misdemeanours perpetrated by young Vols makes its way around the internet, everyone has their own spin on it.
TMZ chronicles the attempted exorcism of Finlay MacCracken. The screams in the night. The priest left dead after she made her escape.
Footage of Evangelina Torres Acosta using her power on innocent bystanders is grainy and inconclusive, but it still racks up multiple hits with every passing minute.
The Daily Mail quickly churns out an article on the well-known exploits of Ted Hackett, straining credibility to the limit to link his story to that of Remy Duchamp and the drug he made from his own blood. Sick. Twisted. Blood. Drugs. Irish. French. Clearly a sign of society's continuing destruction.
Filipe Nascimento's involvement in a hate crime prompts a particularly thoughtful tumblr post.
Davoud Garret Alizadeh's former classmates are all too eager to talk about he used his powers to send them into a mass panic, earning their fifteen minutes of fame by spinning particularly gruesome tales of the school dance he destroyed and his eventual arrest.
A restrained, even-handed piece reports on the background of Mímir Siggeirsson. But even a responsibly-written piece seems damning when discussing how his powers claimed the lives of his parents. Matters are only made worse when another site runs the article along with pictures of the mangled remains of the family car.
Solomon Tyler's crime-spree across London and his resulting assault of a police officer make for good fodder for Vol detractors in Britain.
Harlow Hart's ex-boyfriend is guided through a series of short interviews where he chronicles the 'sick thrill' she got out of scaring her (multiple) sexual partners by using her powers during sex.
'THE YOUNG VOLS' in its entirety is keenly dissected and analysed, as people wonder if Marine van de Velde's incitement of the masses contributed to the increase in Vol-related crime.
Alejandro Díaz Delgado's disqualification and dismissal from his once promising boxing career once again leads people to question just how many of today's young athletes are Vols, exploiting their powers for their own gain and greed.
Similarly, Mike Fitzgerald's exploits using his stealth-based powers to prey upon poor, unsuspecting sorority girls brought up some worrying questions about how far young Vol men would take their powers.
Teresa Flores' background is spun into a tale of how Vols was inevitably and undeniably turn their powers towards their worst possible uses. Her brother's tragic death and the fact that she was coerced into growing drugs seems incidental.
Headlines chronicling Enely Must's meltdown and her mother's ensuing stay in the hospital make their way back into circulation once more, reinvigorated by the discussion of the documentary.
An enterprising ONTDer pieces together articles to make a post about Bianca Flamini, the psycho ex who violently assaulted her boyfriend with her powers over a minor spat. A small contingent of commenters declare her a 'HBIC'.
Victor Reyes and his stint in juvenile detention becomes a prime example of even when they can catch these dangerous, criminal Vols, there's no guarantee that they can contain them safely. George Cooper is used as another example.
The carnage Hugo Kraayenburg left in his wake on a rugby pitch in Perth opens discussion to how much damage Vols are doing by concealing their powers, with no shortage of volunteers willing to step forward to bemoan the injuries he gave them.
Archive footage of Nathan Mitchell reappears on the evening news in Australia, intercut with YouTube videos that feature him running wild. An analyst is brought in to assess just how much property damage he racked up in total across his various rampages.
Kiara Albury and the destruction left in her wake becomes a hot topic, detailing the thousands of tourists evacuated due to her losing control of herself. The implications of Vols with enough power to cause and control natural disasters is disquieting, to say the least.
Despite dogged inquiries and investigation, journalists can only turn up the 'codename' of a South African Vol-Vigilante; Pistolette. But they manage to spin an article or two out of her 'war on crime' and the drug dealers left crippled or permanently maimed by her antics.
In light of recent developments in Palestine, Nawal Bechara's murder of an Israeli soldier takes on a newfound relevance.
More and more articles and news pieces emerge each day, plaguing the students each time they're granted internet access.
