video; un: hinokami

[The feed is horribly wobbly at first, the device obviously in motion in fumbling hands as it's set lengthwise against a surface, propped up. Tanjiro takes not-enough steps backward from it, leaving the video to be mostly awkwardly focused on his chin and shoulders. He has no frame of reference for how this works, let him live.]

I'm only about half sure I'm doing this right, but I really hope I am because I have something really important I have to share. I'm sorry-- for sharing it, because it's probably putting a lot of people in danger, but!! I'm Kamado Tanjiro, and I'm here to pass along a really unsettling message my friend received, and I hope you'll all pass it around and hopefully we can find a solution.

[He turns to look off screen for a moment, says something that's muddled by his facing the other direction, and then walks back to his own device with another one in his hand. He then proceeds to turn the other device toward the video of his own, showing a too-close view of what is ...still clearly a chain letter text message. He leaves it there a moment, as if expecting people to read it, before stepping back again.]

I don't know what it means, but if anyone has any details on this Bloody Mary, which I'm pretty sure is probably a demon, please let me know! You can also contact Hashibira Inosuke, this was sent to him first! I'll read it, too--

You are now cursed! You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now, because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeball out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What is your family going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put to scare you because you are wrong, so very wrong. Remember, Bloody Mary can do anything!

[He's still too close to the video feed to really be seen properly, but he's also taking this entire thing Far Too Seriously. His grip on Inosuke's phone, which is the most visible thing at this moment, is even white-knuckled.]

Everyone please be safe!!

[Someone please help this poor idiot country bumpkin. Or at least laugh at him.]

[neither is he but he is working on it...!]

Yes, those things. There was an issue with something like that a few months ago, but fortunately nothing like that has happened since. Just be on your guard when using these things.

It might be good to ask on the network about it. There are, admittedly, plenty of people who will try to give you false information as a joke, but there are also plenty of people who have experience with this sort of technology who would be willing to help you figure something out.

Of course, getting to know people from other worlds is helpful in figuring out who is in the former category and who is in the latter category.

That's a good idea, I think. After a while, you do get somewhat used to it, but help definitely makes things easier.
