[Adam's face is illuminated only by the blue electronic glow of his cellphone, but he's frowning at it and turning it every which way.]

How in the blazes.... I've been down here for days, how does this still have battery life

Hiro. What a pleasant surprise.

[deloreandriver]

Great Scott!

I mean- [ dhfhd time for serious face ]

I did not think you would show up on here.

It would seem Lady Luck has a soft spot for me, wouldn't you say, old friend?

[flawed_mirror]

Being a hero is such thankless work.

[traptinacoffin]

That it most certainly is.

[flawed_mirror]

I don't think I'll ever understand why anyone would choose that role.

So how have you been able to survive, trapped in a coffin?

[traptinacoffin]

Let's just say, between you and me... I'm surprisingly resilient for a Brit.

.. Peter. [Well, there goes his cavalry plan.] You look well.

[askedtobe]

[ Damn right. ] And you look like you're exactly where you need to be.

This is the cruel act of a cruel man, Peter. It's inhumane. I would let you lock me back up, in the Company, if you let me out.

You sound awfully calm for someone trapped in a coffin...

[traptinacoffin]

Panicking will lessen what little oxygen I have left.

[stone_gun_nest]

Just saying that people who are running out of air don't usually talk like that. Most of the people I know who talk like that tend to only do it when they're well away from danger.

They don't usually call people they want to rescue them "children", either.

[traptinacoffin]

...Is that another no? I really don't have the time for you to beat around the bush, you know.

Dying.

[hereafter_candy]

Wouldn't someone have tried to save if it's been days?

[traptinacoffin]

No one knows I'm here. Or, well, they didn't.

[hereafter_candy]

Maybe someone will come save you now, then? We have a lot of hero-types.

[traptinacoffin]

You wouldn't happen to know any of these hero-types... would you?
