Just finished transcribing Ashen Waste. Wanted desperately to give Evan a hug throughout. It's amazing how he can be both the Woobie and the Ax Crazy Psycho. Not at the same time, though.

...yet.

EDIT: PAGE 200 GET. I feel special. Not sure why. But I do.

I don't know of any programs that let you edit .flvs to be quite honest. Most of them used to let you edit .mp4s but then quicktime updated and bugged it all out, so....

A very good free converter is Format Factory though. It isn't just for video conversions either. It also converts audio and it even rips dvds. It's pretty nice for freeware.

Thanks megami! <3

You're more than welcome! Very Happy

Glad that I could help.

Fanfic: Survival
(I watched Ashen Waste like three times today, so yeah)

Evan's shocked, for a second, when he sees It. It's just standing there, staring without eyes, taunting them... And it's pure emotion that drives him out the door: rage, mostly, but fear, too, fear like a cornered animal, and grief because he's seen what losing Jessa has done to Jeff and he just wants his friends back, dammit.

It's huge when he gets close, easily ten feet tall, and the fear quickly overtakes the rage. Still, he's in it now, no going back, so he swings at It as hard as he can, throwing every bit of muscle and momentum into it.

The bat stops.

He has time to blink, once, at the bat held stationary mere inches from the thing's body, then something crushes his chest and he falls to the side, gasping. He's been in fights before, bad ones, knock-down drag-out curb-stomp fights. He broke his arm the summer after seventh grade, he's taken a baseball to the face-- he's been in pain before. But nothing like this. He hits the ground, and even though his eyes are open he can't see, can barely think past the agony.

For a few seconds, Evan's pretty sure he's gonna die.

The air around It contracts and warps, then there's a sucking sound, like someone turned on a vacuum, then It's gone. The pressure around his chest lets up. It still hurts, hurts worse than anything he's ever felt, but he can breathe a little.

Vince and Jeff are talking, words flowing into each other and mixing up, he can't quite understand. He has to kill It. That's clear. That's easy to figure out. He staggers upright, bat in hand, and his vision is so fucking blurry he can't tell where It is. He swings around, vaguely aware of Vince talking to him, then his legs give out and he falls down again.

They're talking again, hands on his shoulders and back, pulling him to a sitting position, to his feet. "Wha' happened?" he slurs.

"You tried to hit him, you dumb bastard," Vince replies, tensely.

He coughs. "Did I kill it?"

"No, you didn't kill him."

Of course not. Of course it escaped. It's still out there, waiting for him. It's coming for him, coming for them all-- panicked laughter bubbles up, and he chokes on blood. He doubles over, nearly dragging Vince and Jeff down with him, coughing blood up on the pavement. "I should've had my knife," he groans, terror clawing at his chest. He wants to run. Every instinct is telling him to fucking run, but he can barely move his legs at this point.

"Take him," Jeff says, sliding out from under his arm, leaving Vince holding him up.

Vince keeps an arm around Evan's waist as he fumbles the back door open. "C'mon, get in, easy, easy, just lay down, you're gonna be fine, put your head on this, you're gonna be all right, just hold on..." Vince has the same tone that he uses to calm Sparky when she's in one of her crazy moods, and Evan wonders vaguely who he's trying to reassure here.

He coughs, trying to get all the blood out of his lungs, curling in on himself. Everything hurts. He really wants to just roll into a ball and have someone hold him until it stops hurting. That, or pass the fuck out. He'd take either option at this point.

They're talking up front about finding a doctor. They're scared, he can tell, hear it in their voices, scared he's going to die in the backseat of Jeff's car. He can't do that to them, not to Jeff, he's lost too much already, and it's not like the kid can fucking afford a new car right now. He coughs, trying to clear his throat, and forces himself to speak. "You guys, I think I'm gonna be okay."

Jeff peels out of the alley and swings onto a main road. "Vince, check your phone, we need to find a hospital," he says.

"Yeah, hang on," Vince says, fumbling with it. "Oh, you've gotta be-- son of a bitch!" He throws the phone at the floor. "No fucking signal. I can't look up anything. Jeff, give me your phone."

Jeff takes a hand off the wheel and fumbles his phone out of his pocket. Evan coughs, blood running down the side of his face into the blanket on the backseat. "Here, look," Jeff says, handing the phone over.

Vince looks at it, then holds it closer to his face. "No signal," he says. He and Jeff share a look in the front seat, and even though Evan can't quite see it he knows what it means. It's still around. It must be. Something like a whimper escapes him, and he curls up, coughing.

"C'mon, let's just-- just get on the expressway, we'll figure it out from there," Vince says. He twists around in his seat to look at Evan. "Hang in there, bro. You're gonna be fine."

"Yeah," he agrees weakly. "Gotta... gotta figure out what to tell the doc..."

"Grizzly bear," Jeff supplies immediately, and even though it's a joke he sounds utterly terrified.

Evan laughs, and it hurts, it hurts so fucking bad, and he closes his eyes and coughs and hopes that the pain will stop soon.

When he opens his eyes again, he has to blink a few times, because it's still dark when they're open. It takes a few seconds to realize that it's nighttime. He groans, because everything still hurts, and he can still taste blood in his mouth, and he doesn't understand how he closed his eyes for a few seconds and made it to night.

"We gotta get to a doctor soon," Vince says. He and Jeff bitch about the time, and being lost, and not being in Brooklyn. The hair on his arms stands up, and he coughs again, harder. The pain in his chest worsens, just a little. "Guys..." he says, or tries to, because it comes out more like a sputtering cough. He has to warn them. It's nearby.

Jeff mutters something under his breath, and hits the brakes. Vince shoots him a weird look; Jeff points forward. "See that?"

Vince leans in a bit. "See what?" Then he does see, apparently. "Oh, man."

"What?" Evan asks, trying to push himself up on one elbow.

"I can't even see anything in the camera, no one's gonna believe this shit," Vince mutters.

"What is it?" he asks again, grabbing onto the back of Vince's seat and dragging himself upright. It feels like stabbing knives in his chest, but he needs to see--

It's there. Again. Standing there, off in the distance, barely visible in the oncoming storm. Vince and Jeff share a look, and Evan knows what they're going to do before they even say it. He grins, all teeth, just like in the forest with the bags--

"You know what we have to do?" Jefflooks back at It and switches into drive, then revs the engine.

"Gun it," Vince says.

"Run the fucker down," Jeff growls. The sudden acceleration pushes Evan back into the seat, and he watches through the windshield as they speed towards It, and he laughs and laughs because everything hurts so much worse now and he knows it won't work and it's the biggest fucking joke in the world, this thing, this terrible goddamn thing that just won't leave--

Everything goes black before the collision, but he feels it. Feels the impact as the car hits something, feels the blinding agony as he slams forward into Vince's seat, then... nothing.

"Wake up, sunshine." Someone pats his knee, and Evan groans. On his back again, but not on the ground or in the car. It's a little cold. He rolls his head to the side, and forces his eyes open. Basement? Jeff's basement. He blinks a few times, then licks his lips. No blood. There's a dull stinging ache in his chest, like he overdid it working out, but that's it.

He pushes himself up on his elbows and looks around. Vince is getting to his feet, camera in hand. Jeff walks towards them, looking bewildered. "What the fuck."

"No shit," Evan agrees.

"You okay, man?" Vince asks.

He nods. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." He manages a charming grin at the two of them. "Told ya."

Vince rolls his eyes; Jeff just continues to look confused. "I'm... I'm gonna go check the car," he says. "And the time, and... shit, I need to make sure Alex is okay. Come-- come upstairs."

Vince nods, and turns back to him to offer him a hand up. Evan doesn't take it right away. "We hit It," he says flatly.

"Yeah." He nods. "Think we killed it?"

No. It's still alive. He knows it is. He doesn't say that, though. Instead, he shrugs, and takes Vince's hand. "Dunno," he replies as his friend pulls him to his feet. "Let's go. I'm starving."

Vince snorts and rolls his eyes again, then heads for the stairs. He follows, steps faltering only slightly when the hair on the back of his neck stands up. He knows that if he turned to look, It would be there, behind him, watching.

So he doesn't look. Sometimes it's better not to.

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN SALAD, THAT'S HOW.

Seriously, though, thanks guys. ::blushes:: This episode really just breaks my heart-- I spend the first half wanting to hug Jeff, then Evan goes and gets all bloody and freaked out and he's trying so hard to be brave and I just want to hug him. And also Vince and Jeff. It's a really good friendship episode, honestly.

And now I need to convince myself to ignore the strange noises in my apartment and go to sleep. I should not have watched the latest episode of MH right before I planned on going to bed.

Oh no. I'm a very good sharer. XDD

Ok, so, I have to ask because I've seen several posts in relation to it now and I just feel left out, and google came up with nothing. What is the deal with the "Why does he make move now?" girl?
