*A shot of the Achievement Hunter office appeared on the screen. A similar shot to that of AHWU, although the camera is fumbled and shaking as it finally rests still, focusing on the all too familar bookcase (or should I say, gameshelf) and fan art in the background*

"Is it ready?" Geoff asks from behind the camera, sounding not upset, but not unhappy in his words as he neared closer to the filmed wall.

"Yep." Jack replied, much closer to the camera and the one straightening the frame to how it would normally look. Like Geoff, he sounded almost annoyed, almost restless with his answer.

From the right side of the screen, Geoff moves in shot. Standing more to the right side, not paying much attention to where he is, he takes off his bright yellow glasses that covered up most of his face - along with his impressive moustache, of course. In doing so, Geoff brings his hands up to his eyes and wipes away the tears that had settled around his skin, leaving his right hand to hold his head up while covering his mouth.
It was clear from the red around his eyes he had been crying, an odd sight for the usual strong, tough Geoff that is presented in videos.

"We..." Geoff starts, clearing away his throat, then looking down at the ground sheepishly and moving his arms to cross in front of his chest, "We just want to communicate with the audience and explain what's happening. We haven't uploaded any videos in the last 2 days..."

"More like 5 days," Jack adds from behind the camera, rather bluntly.

"Right, 5 days..." Geoff replies, barely showing any emotional change in response to the comment made by Jack.
"We haven't uploaded any videos in the last 5 days, and we know we have to justify that. There's been some stuff...stuff happen and..." Geoff has trouble getting the words out, tears begin forming around his eyes and he attempts to wipe them away but gives up and holds his hands around his neck instead. 
"And we haven't been able to film any videos or post them so..." Clearing his throat, Geoff composes himself and looks directly at the camera, "So, I guess we're having a bit of a vacation, sorry about that." He jokes, breaking into a half smile and chuckles quietly for the first time in the video.

"Geoff..." Jack warns, seeming irritable and impatient with Geoff's rambling.

"What Jack? What, am I wasting your precious fucking time? Jeez dude, you're the one who told me to do this shit, it wasn't my idea!" Geoff angrily responded, throwing his hands up and looking over the camera towards Jack.

"Just hurry up and finish so I can get the fuck out of here." Jack spits back.

"Whatever dude. Look..." Geoff looks back at the audience, no longer upset but more angry with the situation than before. "I'm...We are really sorry that we haven't been uploading anything but we have some shit happening here, in our real lives that needs to be sorted out before we can do anything else. I don't know when, but you'll hear from us. Okay, is that it?" Geoff looks back up at Jack to confirm. 

"That's it." Jack replies as the camera once again becomes unstable from where it had been.

"Thank God..." Geoff adds as he walks away from where he had been.

The footage abruptly ends as the camera faces the floor, followed by a solid black image that contained the words, "Sorry, you'll hear from us" in small white writing.
