13. formatting

Summary:

A snapshot; Zam writes a sign. Or attempts to.

Notes:

This is the thirteenth in a series of drabbles written as part of, uh, Tumblr vote bribery. They are all written by request, and are available in their original forms on my Tumblr, "qfitmc".

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Indent. (No, no indent, that's valuable space.) Delete. Hit the delete key more times than you need to, for good measure.

"I AM IN DANGER".

No. Delete delete delete. In danger, that's far too little, here. Like, duh, everyone's in danger. Lifesteal. Kill people, steal hearts. That's the gimmick.

Indent. No, shit. Enter. Second line of the sign, that's good. This message should be snappy, punchy. Quick, effective– like a blade, right? Like a caption. 

"I'M SCREWED."

Too casual. Delete.

"Hi I'm Pri–" no, delete delete delete. Hmm.

"PRINCE ZAM IS FUCKED".

Yellow dye. Glow ink. Perfect. This'll get views.

Notes:

...I don't know! I saw a clip of Zam writing a sign room circa Eclipse Fed, and just. The way he self-edited and kept changing the format to /flow more/, rather than to actually fully get his thoughts out. The posing of himself for the camera. The fact that Lifesteal players are as sweaty about YouTube growth as they are PVP. It's nice.
