[Susie appears] Susie:
Hello there. How nice to see you again. Do you remember me? Susie Haltmann? I hope so... Thank you for your continued time and patience. I hope you have been sufficiently enjoying - or have been sufficiently placated by - the holiday season. I have a very specific demand and exchange laid out for you, but first... let me uphold my end of the bargain for coming all this way. [Black screen] Let me tell you a story. [Various moving purple lines fade in] The first thing I felt was a dull pain. A dull pain, and a million flashing colors. Before I could even think, my ashes were scattered to the wind. I don't know what I was doing before it happened... I think it was nothing at all. I so desperately wanted to move, to do something to help what I was seeing - but I couldn't. I was stuck, and the world moved past me. So I watched. [A scene of President Haltmann from Episode 10 of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis fades in behind the lines] I watched how my father subjugated himself to help me, fighting a battle he could never win. How he took his rise to power - and how he felt the world slip from his grasp all the same. I watched my father spend hundreds, thousands of hours to find me... and I watched it fall apart in minutes. [A scene of President Haltmann and Santa Claus from Episode 11 of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis appears, then fades to white] And then, after all those years- [A close-up shot of Susie's eyes is shown, followed by a scene of President Haltmann reaching out for Susie] President Haltmann:
S...Susie... Susie:
After all those years watching, I never thought about what I would say to him. As soon as the moment started, it was over. [President Haltmann vanishes] We fell into the dark. [Susie vanishes] As if our names were never spoken. I was at a loss. A miracle, right in front of my eyes, and for what...? [The purple lines fade in again] In his final moments, he had... seen me. He had given me the strength to be alive. I knew I couldn't just waste it. I decided to grasp at straws. I moved whatever I could to make a splash, in the hopes that I could be remembered stronger. And that brings us to today. [the lines disappear] Hello, again. Thank you for your service. By all accounts, I should not be speaking to you today. I'm running on borrowed time. But, if the powers that be are allowing me to take center stage... That's where our business comes into play. [Susie appears] I am working within limited range. It may be obvious that I am unable to set the clock forward myself, for instance. I am not that powerful. But there still is one loose thread to pull - one last chance to give. Somebody who's, ah... "broken the script" more than any of us. I'm sure you know them. I believe my... potential clientele could end up playing a critical role in helping move things along. If I could, I would go and speak to them myself, but they aren't... well, anywhere. They have intentionally taken themselves out of the equation, and I have no means of getting to them. Their paper trail is extant. I have attempted to start the process of identifying their location, but... I can only do so much, and even within that my abilities are severely limited. This is something that requires external outreach. So the business proposition is as follows: You have something I can't do. I have something you can't do, and a common enemy and goal to define us both. You create the bridge, and I will cross it. I believe this to be a fair trade, no? If you accept the proposal, please make this clear to me. I hope that the method of doing so is obvious. That is all from me. I thank you for your time. [Susie vanishes] |
ARG
In the comments of the video, there is the following exchange between The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 and the SiIvaGunner account, which was at the time run by Susie:
The Joke-Explainer™ 7000:Can we please talk in private? We need to talk about some things.
SiIvaGunner:I understand and respect the concerns that you may have, and I am open to discussion. Send a direct message from the @GiIvaSunner Twitter to itself, and I will use this method to discuss with you at the earliest convenience. Thank you for your inquiry.
In the video, Susie gives the viewers a proposal: They help her and she helps them. She says they need to communicate to her that they do indeed accept said proposal, and that they should do it through an obvious means.
