[The video feed is shot through with static and frequently fizzles out for a couple of seconds, but what you can see of the picture is a tall, tired-looking man in his mid thirties. His face is peppered with relatively fresh wounds, and there are dark circles under his eyes. He's also scowling like somebody just shot his puppy]

Oh I am so not in the

The fuck are you doing to it?

Re: voice;

[bestkindofcrazy]

Breaking it, I think. [Buzz of static] It's kind of my thing.

voice;

[thisstraydog]

Why?

Very staticky voice

[bestkindofcrazy]

Because I have a vendetta against machinery. Or it has a vendetta against me.

[thisstraydog]

Breaking this fucking thing isn't going to get you anywhere.

[bestkindofcrazy]

Not doing it on purpose. I told you, electronics don't like me.

[thisstraydog]

Why?

[bestkindofcrazy]

Because.

[thisstraydog]

That's such a fucking shitty answer.

[bestkindofcrazy]

And 'Why' is just a brilliant question. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, young man?

Fine. Machinery doesn't like me because my magic makes it go all...woobly.

[thisstraydog]

I don't kiss her at all, asshole.

Then don't use your magic. Simple.

[bestkindofcrazy]

I'm not using it.

You know how magnetic things have a magnetic field around them? I'm a magical thing. And I may have fired off a big blast of magic when I arrived, but that's a mistake anyone could make, right?

[thisstraydog]

[ wut. ]

Fucking magic.

[bestkindofcrazy]

Succinct but oh so expressive.

[thisstraydog]

Yeah, yeah.

[bestkindofcrazy]

Nice to talk to the highest calibre of people, kiddo. If that's all, I have a sidewalk to fall face down on.
