Filming starts mid scene, catching Amy on their hands and knees in front of a large, metal reinforced door in an otherwise unremarkable hallway. A man that can be assumed to be Aracelis stands a couple feet away, leaning on his cane and seemingly taking notes on his phone with his off hand while Amy narrates their actions.

"Right here, see, in that this gap between the door and the wall. You're supposed to need a special tool for this but..." Amy hums, sitting back on their knees and unclips a small item from their klefkeyring on their belt. "I can afford to replace this."

They unfold the item- while hard to make out in the video, people familiar with it will recognize a particularly long lockpick of some kind- and bend it in on itself twice, so that the last inch and a half or so are facing back towards their hand.

"Now if I did this right I think I can..." They shimmy the broken lockpick between the door and the wall just below where the lowest hinge might be with a bit of effort, and there is a scraping sound as they try to wiggle it back and forth. "It should just be this one here, since the upper one was easier to access... I think I've almost got it-"

There's a loud click and something seems to come loose and suddenly the outside half of the door falls forward, revealing the inner mechanism of the lock and knob- and falling directly onto Amy in the process, just missing Lissie and the camera. Cursing can be heard as well as laughter as the filming suddenly cuts.

The video begins with Lissie's absol Gelato nudging Casi where he lays relaxed on the server room couch. At first he tries to swat the pokemon away, but a sharp bark close to his ear has him jolt upright.

"What?" He hisses, annoyed at the interruption. Gelato whines in that way he does when he's warning about something. While trying to get his bearings he turns his head and comes face to face with Echo. "Echo what are you doing in my phone?"

:{ Filming!! }:

"Filming wh—" Casi takes notice of something and freezes, eyes wide as he assesses the damage. As the camera moves back we now see Rose standing over a dismantled computer.

"Rose?! What on earth did you do? Do you have any idea what Lissie is going to do when he sees this mess?!" He keeps his voice at an urgent whisper, trying to not draw attention from Lissie upstairs just yet. Gelato growls at Rose like she's an intruder, the gardevoir ignores him.

"Maybe this is still fixable…" Casi starts to rise to his feet and examine the damage on the computer.

In response Rose picks up the system's memory and crushes it between her hands. Casi looks on mortified. Something must be said between the pair telepathically because Casi raises her voice. "Rose!! What do you mean something about us? Who is us? You can't just crush my husband's things!"

Gelato begins barking in earnest now, fully intending to alert his trainer. In response to the commotion he can hear Lissie and Amy start to make their way downstairs. He swears under his breath and begins to panic. After shifting back and forth on his feet a few times he grabs the blanket off the couch and tosses it over the remains of the computer.

Now that the jig was up Casi makes no effort to be quiet, having a back and forth argument with the telepathic pokemon. "I never should've let you play with that computer if I had known you'd start doing this bullshit. I don't care if you would've just smashed it anyway! It's absolutely not nice! You shouldn't be destroying other people's belongings at all! Especially not ones that belong to the love of my life now will you just get out of here!"

As the pair appear in the remains of the doorway, still dismantled from earlier in the day, Rose immediately teleports away, taking the computer memory with her. Gelato barks one final time and quickly moves to Lissie's side as he leans on his cane.

"Lissie," Casi starts nervously as the video abruptly cuts.

:{ Oops!! Amy said I'm not supposed to film in here!! }:

The video begins mid word, capturing something that's been going on for who knows how long at this point. Amy and a man that some may recognize as Lissie stand in front of a tv- unpowered with a printed photo of a Baccer referee taped to it- and take turns apparently 'practicing' yelling at the photo. Notable phases include ""Hey Ref, why don't you stop being a jack wagon and start reffing for once in your life?" and "Hey Ref, You wouldn't know how to ref if you were given very specific reffing instructions that told you how to do it right!". After every new 'insult' they go in a circle high fiving each other and the Gengar, Gardevoir, Meowscarada, and Kingambit that are excitedly joining in in the... festivities?

The camera pans past them to show Casi looking exasperated while he peers into the room from the hallway.

"You're both assholes" He shouts into the room before walking back to whatever he was doing before. This does not seem to phase the two men as they start up yet another round, slightly louder, just as the video ends.
