[005] [Video - Injection Plot] Self-restraint can blow up in your face.

[killerbaseball]

[Wow, it's a video. When does this guy ever intentionally use the video function? Well, it's not very apparent right now if it was intentional or not - he just doesn't seem to mind it.

Oh, and he appears to be currently strangling a Nannerpuss with one hand. Casually, y'know. He's sitting down, just chilling, squeezing one of the poor things with

[video] I am so getting in on this

[summonerofmyst]

[Rydia looks about as tired as she sounds. Very drained in fact, and paler than usual. She shouldn't even be up but she's sort of bored too. Laying around recovering is no picnic.]

I'm afraid I can't come to your room but I can keep you company on here if you like. Or you can come to mine. I'm at 4-3 I think. Or 4-4. Somewhere around there. Can't really remember.

[video --> action]

[killerbaseball]

Well, then, I will be right over.

[AND OFF HE GOES, STRIDING CONFIDENTLY. Knock knock.]

[action]

[summonerofmyst]

[So she's a little uncoordinated right now. It takes her a minute to answer the door. She looks like the walking dead. She shouldn't even be up but she's stubborn and tired of lying around in bed.]

I'm making tea and sandwiches. Do you want some?

[action]

[killerbaseball]

[Another uncharacteristically expressive pause.]

... I have tea all the time. Today, I think I'm up for something more... adventurous.

[action]

[summonerofmyst]

Well I can make coffee if you'd like. Or juice.

[She turned away from the door and made her way into the kitchen. Baby steps, so the room wouldn't spin so much. All the fixings for a delicious sandwich was spread out on a counter, including fresh baked bread.]

Did you still want a sandwich?

[action]

[killerbaseball]

Thank you, but I think I'll pass.

[action]

[summonerofmyst]

[She managed a small shrug. More for her.

She started making the sandwiches as she talked. From the looks of things, she planned on eating at least three of them. At least. Her appetite certainly hadn't gone anywhere.]

So I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Rydia. And you are?

[action] My inner Shelly is hating this 8|;;

[killerbaseball]

[He takes a seat, and looks around before replying.]

A tricky question. [...] De Killer is what I go by.

[action] XD Why? Forced to be sociable?

[summonerofmyst]

[She blinks, clearly startled. What the hell kind of name is that?]

...Why?

[action] Sociable and open, yeah ;;;

[killerbaseball]

Because of what I do. We spoke the other day, Rydia.

[action] lol he'll probably be all fffffff once this event is over XD the poor dear

[summonerofmyst]

[That was enough to make her pause in her meal preparation.]

What?

[She just stared at him. Who did she talk to about killing people? Certainly no one she kne--

Oh.

Him.]

...How do you know my name? I never told you.

[She didn't freak out in the least bit. She just went right on back to making her lunch as if nothing ever happened. Maybe because for her having a contract killer in her kitchen wasn't a big deal.]

[action]

[killerbaseball]

Oh, you must be mistaken. [Leans back.] I'm no mind reader, despite how fun it would be to pretend so.

[action]

[summonerofmyst]

[Oh duh, she just told him her name a minute ago. She really should have stayed in bed.

But whatever. She was up now, and she was hungry, and she promised entertainment.]

You never told me what you wanted to drink. Coffee or juice?

[Sandwiches assembled, she piled them on a plate and took a bite out of one.]

And you must have a first name. I'm not calling you that.

[action]

[killerbaseball]

Oh, coffee, I suppose.

... Shelly de Killer, then.

[action]

[summonerofmyst]

Coffee. Right.

[She went into the cabinet and pulled out a gourmet bag. It was hers, no doubt about it. She'd tied a little green ribbon around it to mark it. It was fairly expensive, but worth it, though she'd only ever had one cup.

She was grateful she learned how to work the coffeemaker too.]

I like Shelly better.

[The comment was offhand, almost too soft to be heard but it was genuine at least.]

[action]

[killerbaseball]

[He's not quite paying attention to those details, in all honesty. He does enough of that on the job.]

It's not a very threatening name, is it?
