a collection of deleted footage

"MY NAME IS Scott Reynolds and I— Thalia, get out of my room!"

*Beep*

"So, today I'm— Oh my God, just come in."

*Beep*

"Alright, we're—"

*camera topples over*

"Did you kick over my camera?"

"No, he did."

"You can see it?"

"You can't?"

"Where'd Hal go?"

*static*
*beep*

"Oh my God, kill it!"

"I'm trying, Thalia!"

"I don't wanna die!"

"Stop yelling at me!"

*beep*

"Oh my God, ew, what is that?"

"Ghost jizz, Thalia. How am I
supposed to know?"

"Do you think ghosts—?"

"I don't know!"

*beep*

A brunette's smiling face appears in frame again. "My name is Scott Reynolds, I'm sixteen, and I'm the Mystery Kid. This is my baby sister, Thalia."

"I'm not a baby", the blue eyed girl next to him pouts.

"Of course you are. You're my baby", he laughed, nudging her with his elbow. "Today we have a special guest, my best friend Daphne!"

The young red headed girl smiles as she swivels around on the desk chair next to the two siblings. "Hi."

"Daph is gonna read artifacts for us", Thalia said proudly.

"It's only fair, she brings me McDonalds", Scott snorted.

"Scott loves greasy foods. I don't understand why he's not fat", Daphne pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah", Scott huffed. "On this day in history, the Mystery Kid has just become the Mystery Kids."

*beep*

"I sung Thalia a bedtime story because she was freaked out nu something. I've gotta hurry up and get back though before she notices that I am, in fact, not a teddy bear. I don't see anything anyway, not that I could— that's Thal's thing. But I love you, and I hope you're safe and happy— ah, crap."

*beep*

The brown eyed boy spoke quietly today, the room around him dark. He's eighteen now. "Hey, guys, it's Scott. I hope you're somewhere cozy and warm tonight, because—" loud laughter follows. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I couldn't do it. This is my friend Hal, who most of you already know. He help edit my videos. We're gonna read some ghost stories, and then Hal is gonna show us a special trick."
