[VIDEO POST / VISIBLE IN THE SKY]

[At first there's nothing to see-- just a steady view of the sky, shaking once as an unseen hand settles the camera in place more firmly. After a long, boring minute of this, there's some unseen commotion-- a muffled voice with a clear questioning turn.

Suddenly, there are some loud crackles and whistles, completely drowning out anything being said, before the sky lights up with a brilliant display of custom fireworks, spelling out a familiar message:]

CARPE DIEM

[The camera stays trained on the sparkling letters long enough for a burst of laughter to ring out. Then the picture blurs as the device is snatched up, and swiftly turned off.]

Seize the day...

[It's nothing he's ever heard before, but it's a nice sentiment. And it's one he definitely agrees with. His eyes lower halfway, and he remembers his wish to live.

He smiles.]

I like that.

You know, the City might be cursed, but it gives us a chance to do things we couldn't at home.

That's definitely the way I try to look at it.

It's nice to meet you, too.

Oh, and have a good night.

[He has no idea. BUT THERE IS INSPIRATION AT LEAST.]

[Neil laughs a little bit, because tonight is definitely a good night.]

You, too!
