Sixteenth Power - Video

[thecrowingtobe]

[The video comes on, yes, one mistake. Fiddling hands that look as if they have blood on it. The sound of someone breathing heavy, fast comes through past the bloody hands that seem to be fumbling with the device.]

He should have been dead huh. He’s dead isn’t he? Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit... that shouldn’t have happened. What the hell is

[thecrowingtobe]

[Shit shit, for you, you get a faster reply, mostly because he was fiddling with the device in the first place to send her a note, then stopped, then didn't then noticed this and... yeah, text back:]

[Freaking out vocally is much easier for Jinx than trying to frantically text at him. When she sees the message on her screen? She's not satisfied at all with that kind of answer.]

No. You tell me where you are right now so I can come get you!

[thecrowingtobe]

[She hates this. She really hates it. He probably knows how much she's hating this because he knows her. Which means he knows she's been pacing around the apartment for the past 20 minutes freaking the fuck out.]

You'd better not be injured! Both of you. You need to be okay, okay? I'll get the medkit and...just come home safe and come home now!

[thecrowingtobe]

[Give it a bit later... not much. He switches to actually talking cus... yeah he does know her. He feels bad about it too.]

Jinx?-- Ah... sorry. Sorry. We're okay. Everything is okay. Just... ran into something and... I was trying to check something and I... didn't mean to send that--you shouldn't even have--[stops...]

We're going to head out of here in a bit. I swear. We're okay.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday]

Dio, I will come get you right now. You'd better be okay. What were you even--you are never leaving this apartment ever again!

[This...hasn't been a good week.]

voice;

[thecrowingtobe]

No! No... we're okay. I swear. The blood isn't either of ours. Okay. Didn't do... do nothin' stupid this time. I swear. Just... just...give me a bit... alright? [The sound of 'fuck, fuck, fuck' might have been caught as he took a deep breath]

Look, I promise. Not a scratch on either of us. I swear, Jinx. Okay? I just... freaked... out for a moment.

[And this is about the point where Trauma decides to actually show himself.]

It's not ours, Jinx. Promise.

We just...Went and walked headlong into the bullshit outside. We're fine. It's all fine.

Calm. Down.

[And, lets face it. They're both doing pretty well considering how bad things were for a minute there! He's been calming down panicked people goddamn it Claudio for a while, his patience is a little...tested, Jinx.]

Voice;

[hexyoutotuesday]

[She's not going to even both replying to them individually. All she can manage to get out is:]

Both of you. Home. Now!

Voice;

[thecrowingtobe]

Just... calm down. We'll get... get home soon alright. It ain't his fault. [Sorry man... seriously. that freak out sucked. He was doing better, alright? Just took a moment...]

Gabe's got you safe, right?

Voice;

[hexyoutotuesday]

I am not the problem here. I'm not the one covered in blood and out on the streets right now. And I don't need a man to keep me safe!

[Jinx has priorities.]

Voice;

[thecrowingtobe]

It's... not my blood. I tried helping... someone. Alright? [Sighs at all that. God damn it stop freaking out at him. But he took a moment to take a breath and just mumbled] Fine. As long as you're all right.
