Note: Apparently just because the players live together doesn't mean they're any better at getting things done in a timely fashion.
The last few days had been strange. Well, no, strange wasn't really the word. Is there a word for "full of internal panic and trauma?" If so, that's the one that Francis would like to use for his time spent in the glorious town of Red Oak, Delaware. Not that he has anything against the place, mind, and the people he's met so far have all been nice enough. It's just that, well, he is not ready to live on his own quite yet (or ever) and, so, trauma is just the way it goes.
He's been filming things to help himself process, as he seems to be wont to do. Funny, really, that if someone had told him back when he first started working on the video project about his family that his ability to comprehend half of what went on around him would eventually be almost entirely reliant upon this stupid camera, he probably would have just rolled his eyes and kept going. Unfortunately, if someone had told him that back then, they would have been right. He couldn't get through the lead-up to, for lack of a better term, vampire puberty without it and, now, he can't seem to fathom this whole move across country. Not in real-time anyway.
So that's why he's wandering and smoking in a park some time in the evening, having spent all day making a sort of video map of the town. There's a fountain in his shot and a homeless man wandering around it. Homeless or crazy or possibly both, he's really not sure. It makes for an interesting scene, whatever the situation, and that's all that really matters. Watching the world go by through his viewfinder makes everything so much simpler, more artistic, and less painful to think about than what he's going to do when everything inevitably goes to shit. Because that is what always happens, he knows, as he stalks his figuritive prey. It's the way of his life and the way of his condition.
Everyting always goes to shit.
