For nearly the twentieth time that day, Jordan Frye sighed and buried his face in his open palms. "This is exactly why I would never trust you in a nuclear apocalypse," he muttered as his brother Isaac cackled hysterically, his laugh carrying through their Skype group call.

Jordan glanced up to the webcam and kept a straight face. "This is a warning, Fellow Adventurers; if someone who has crossbow invites you into their safe house in a nuke drop ... just don't listen to them. Just don't." The two brothers' sisters, Cierra and Bethany, stifled their own laughter as Isaac finished his. Jordan rubbed his temples as his character--the paranormal investigator Johnny Ghost--respawned into the game.

"Johnny!" Jordan yelled out in the voice he used for Ghost.

"Yes, sir?" the calm, reserved voice of Johnny Toast replied.

"This is the last time we handle a job for those Acachallas. Their boy nearly got me killed!"

"Sir ... he shot you."

"My point exactly!" Jordan responded quickly. He stared back at the webcam. "Well, that's all for this time. If you enjoyed this video of betrayal ..." he started, turning his in-game camera to view the figure of Billy Acachalla, "... and a Benedict Arnold impression, leave a like and a comment, and tell us what you'd like to see us do or play next time." He raised his two touching forefingers to his forehead as he finished his quote: "We will see you next time." Finishing the salute, Jordan shut off the webcam.

"There we go," he called softly, his voice filling the ears of his three siblings. "I will say, though, that showcase of the Care Bears mod took a sudden dark and treacherous tone."

"It's not my fault!" Isaac replied, imitating the voice of Billy.

"I don't know whose it is, then," Jordan shot back, standing up. He pulled the gaming headset from the top of his head, placing it on his desk. He took up the cell phone beside his mouse and keyboard, shutting off the call. He quickly strode into the hallway, where Isaac was already recounting previous events in the day's recorded episode.
