029 [accidental video/action for Goldenrod!]

[cheapblusuits]

[ooc; Kit, this takes place prior to his log with Heather. :3]

[When the feed opens, it's obvious that Phoenix has no idea it's on -- after all, he's looking nowhere near it, and from the giggling "Furrr"'s and wobbly picture, one can deduce that it's the lawyer's Furret playing mean tricks on him again. Shame on you, Lady!

From what you can see from

...Phoenix, are you alright?

[Gawd, Phoenix, if you're going to cheat, at least do it subtly. That's pretty much what's going through Cooper's mind as he stares incredulously at the gear.]

[video]

[cheapblusuits]

[And the reply, some time later and from a very out-of-breath Phoenix;]

I-I think so. I don't think he can break down the door.

[You want to know the scary thing, Coop? Phoeix doesn't actually cheat! He just has incredibly good luck with poker. And a lot of skill, too.]

[video]

[...Phoenix what even]

Break down the door? Where are you?

[Ten times in a row seems unlikely, so until Phoenix tells him this to his face, Cooper will keep thinking he's just a good cheater. He's a good cheater himself.]

The hotel. [Derp. He isn't even sure how long the guy kept chasing him for, but he really doesn't want to find out.]

Re: [video]

[blacklodged]

You led him straight to your hotel room?

[I don't know how you normally deal with really angry people, Phoenix, but letting them know where you're at isn't normally advisable...]

[cheapblusuits]

I'm pretty sure I lost him around the Department store, but...I guess that wasn't the best idea, huh? I didn't have anywhere else to go...

[Headshake. With a small smile.]

I don't think it was. You'll probably get a angry letters at the very least, and someone guarding your door at worst.

[cheapblusuits]

W-well, I mean, it wasn't like I was doing anything illegal...

[video]

[blacklodged]

You might want to kindly remind the angry gentleman of this.

[video]

[cheapblusuits]

What, and go back there? I'd like to live to see Christmas, thanks.

[video]

[blacklodged]

You might not have to go "back there" if he's still on your tail.

[Cooper and humour aren't very well acquainted, but if anything, friendly teasing might make itself known. Like this instance. In all seriousness, though:]

I wouldn't hide for too long. If he does anything to you - and I doubt it - you've got the law on your side.

[video]

[cheapblusuits]

That's true, too...

[At the mention of the law, though, he...snorts, just a bit. A bit of an odd reaction from a lawyer, dontcha think?]

The police here wouldn't be much help, I think.

[He tilts his head a little at this, looking thoughtful.]

So I've heard - many times. I take it you're more closely familiar with their attitude regarding us outsiders?
