Ow. [A moan of pain follows the voice, as the video screen continues to show nothing but the broken pavement of the road beneath it. There’s a rustling noise close enough it’s most likely right on top of the PCD, and the sound of someone moving around, and gym shoes on the ground. Then, a moment of silence.]You don’t just make something that big ( Read more... )

What happened?!

[The PCD turns on with a surprised, concerned voice. The face on the video, if Jack checks it, reflects the same.]

[Have a suspicious look as the video turns on again, set in that same burn marked face. He's not exactly sure why he's answering, since it's most likely the work of the Aschen, but...]

Oh nothing much. Just a little laser tag. You know, playing with friends, getting shot, the fun stuff.

Re: [Video] buntails January 19 2011, 10:40:40 UTC

I went to laser tag once. It was kind of scary.

[Considering, you know, the laser-tag 'monsters' ended up...real.]

Re: [Video] no_pesky_fish January 19 2011, 10:46:58 UTC

[Betcha his laser tag was worse, Usagi, considering he ended up dead. But he's not about to get into that. Instead, have another wary look.]

Scary, huh? I guess, if you're not into that kind of thing. Wanna tell me why you're on this phone, though?

Re: [Video] buntails January 19 2011, 10:47:59 UTC

Don't you remember it? It's the PCD.

[Alright, sort of alarmed now.]

Where are you? I can bring help.

Re: [Video] no_pesky_fish January 19 2011, 10:53:08 UTC

Remember... what exactly?

[Yeah, no way he's giving that information out. Not that he knows exactly where he is anyway, but Jack's operating under the assumption that this entire thing has to do with the Aschen, and considering he just tried to erase their entire existence upon Earth...]

You know what, I'm fine. Really. No need to help.

Re: [Video] buntails January 19 2011, 10:57:12 UTC

There's no way you're fine if you're that disoriented! Did you get hurt?

Re: [Video] no_pesky_fish January 19 2011, 11:17:13 UTC

I'm afraid you've got the wrong guy. Nothing disoriented here. Like I said, perfectly fine. Perfect health.

[Ignore the burn marks. Really!]

Re: [Video] buntails January 19 2011, 11:17:43 UTC

You're in Adstringendum. The Animus brought you here, like everyone else. If you're hurt, you should go to the clinic right away!

[This is all delivered in a rush that miraculously leaves the words clearly intelligible.]

You know all that, right?

[Her brow furrows in concern.]

Re: [Video] no_pesky_fish January 19 2011, 11:22:47 UTC

Yup! [Jack is a lying liar that lies.] Know all of that. Definitely. Never forgot it for an instant.

Re: [Video] buntails January 19 2011, 11:23:36 UTC

If you're sure... [She tries a smile that falls rather flat.]

Re: [Video] no_pesky_fish January 19 2011, 11:30:43 UTC

[Don't do that. He doesn't like seeing that kind of expression on a kid who's probably innocent. Please?]

I'm sure. Thanks for the concern though. I- I appreciate it.

Re: [Video] buntails January 19 2011, 11:32:10 UTC

[But she makes that face because it goes against her grain to let it go. And sure enough-]

I can't do it! I can't just ignore it if you're hurt! I don't know why you really don't want to trust me, but I'm not going to hurt you! I just don't want you to be out there alone if something's wrong!

Re: [Video] no_pesky_fish January 19 2011, 11:46:48 UTC

[Dagnabit, why does he have to be a sucker for kids still, even now? Jack's frown deepens as he sighs, rubbing his face.]

Look, kiddo. It's nothing personal. [Besides, even if he knows full well that he should be dead, the laser wounds aren't as bad as they were before. They just sting a little... a lot... Okay, yeah it hurts, but he'll be fine. He's had worse.] Really, I'll be fine. I'm just paranoid by nature.

Re: [Video] buntails January 19 2011, 11:47:55 UTC

Listen, that button on the side gives your coordinates. I can come help. Or I can give you the coordinates to the clinic.

Re: [Video] no_pesky_fish January 19 2011, 12:06:23 UTC

[Yes. He's going to give away his coordinates on a device where he has no idea who could be watching. When he's still assuming the Aschen are out there.]

You can give me the coordinates if you want, and I'll check it out later. Always good to know where the local medical places are.
