14. If You Want Him, Come and Claim Him [Permavideo/Locked to Linkara's friends]

[iamaman_punch]

[Linkara. Camera. Couch. Very serious business.]

Well, there's good news and then there's bad news. The good news is, I found Franky.

[If you're watching, you can see the expression on his face darken.]The bad news is, Mechakara found him first

I'll be there, Linkara. Sounds as if you could use the back up.

[iamaman_punch]

Thanks, Jenn. I really could.

[He knows she's been through a lot - she was close to Neal, after all, and grief is tough. There's a moment where he's visibly debating saying something more but decides against it. If she says she's up for it, he'll trust her.]

[legallygreen]

You don't particularly need Mechakara in one piece do you?

...My other half is kind of...angry right now.

[iamaman_punch]

Oh, no. I'd actually like him in as many pieces as possible, if you don't mind.

[wavesinherheart]

I'll be there.

[iamaman_punch]

Thanks, Aqua.

[wavesinherheart]

You don't need to thank me. It's what friends do.

[iamaman_punch]

[There's a moment when he's not sure what to say - he does remember the group hug, odd as it was, and it's still a little off-putting to him that so many of the people he knows here bring up friendship so often and so easily.]

Right. See you then.

[voice]

[eroded_earth]

Oh, don't worry, I'll be there.

[iamaman_punch]

I wouldn't expect anything less.

[1000kpipes]

We've got your back, kid. [Ninja, in the background, nods his agreement.]

[iamaman_punch]

[He nods back.] Thanks, guys. See you down in the lobby.

[The video switches on just in time to catch Vin slipping one of her daggers into its sheath. She reaches out, picking her coat off the hook it hung from.]

I'm in.
