[Hope everyone enjoys shaky cam time, as Burke is still very new to technology and most certainly his phone. But he manages to get it going and thinks he's got that fancy moving picture thing going on and turns the video on a familiar figure, that he's got sitting upright in a simple kitchen chair... tied to it.]Not sure what all that business was

[Raven is already freaking out, but this just makes it a million times worse. She wants to scream, but she's stuck in a weird state of shock for a moment, because that's Charles and he's not her Charles but there's still this shrill pang of fear that hits her with the thought of someone hurting him. --Especially when that someone looks like Erik but he's all wrong and different and this can't be like how there are two Charles. That man is not Erik.]

Why are you doing this?! [She's frantic, and she knows she shouldn't say anything or do anything, but she has to.]

[Not the response he wanted, but clearly a worried watcher.]

I felt like it, do I need a reason, lass?

Wow. You could probably give Krueger a run for his money on the creepy front.

[orange_balls]

I'd be flattered if I knew who y'were talkin' about, but either way, what a nice fella ya are for the compliment.

[hung_garian]

I'm sure you'd be flattered if you knew who he was. And you're welcome.

[Probably still not the response Burke is looking for but if he's not careful he's going to be meeting a Norse god some time in the near future. And it won't be a happy meeting.]

I suggest you put it back where you found it. And then leave.

I'm just takin' care of what I found. Poor thing was just layin' there all miserable feelin'.

... he's still miserable feelin', but now he's just sittin' up. Much better I say. [I'm sorry, Loki, he can't hear you over the sound of his crazy.]

[video]

[justabitoffun]

Unless you plan on actually making him not feel miserable any time soon I heartily repeat the suggestion of releasing him this instant. And staying very far away from him in the future.

I already know where you are. Another second is all it would take for me to be there. And trust me, little mortal, you do not want to meet me.

Whatever and whoever ya think ya are, I'm not afraid of whatever you're threatenin'.

Could use somethin' t'get things excitin' around here. I'd love a visit really. I think Charlie would too. [He'll pat pat the telepath's head.]

[The voice that comes over is more idle than anything near condemning or angry]

So what's your story, huh? Big balls or tiny brains?

voice;

[orange_balls]

I think I told my story well enough, lad. Y'Just have to clean out ya ears.

[Though it does amuse him this one isn't insisting he not do things. Just insulting his intelligence is all. He's so hurt.]

voice;

[decanonized]

Doesn't answer the question. I mean, you gotta know how many panties are getting in a twist over this. All that's left is if you don't care because you've got the balls to fight them with, or just don't have the brains to count them all.

[orange_balls]

I just do what I please. No balls or brains needed. And I think my purpose of attracting attention is clear, isn't it? Or should I write a letter and send it out too?

[Erik watches the video, feeling his anger rise. It isn't his Charles (his own is currently asleep), but he still feels responsible in some way. Especially since this one can't fend for himself, as well.]

I suggest you let him go, Burke.

[He has a sinking feeling that part of this broadcast is for him.]

[orange_balls]

[AH HA! There he is. Just the pretty face he's been looking for. It is quite a thing seeing his own face twisted in anger at himself. Burke can't help but laugh.]

Or what? Will you come find me? If so, make it a promise, Erik. I do so like promises.

[And he's cackling now, oh so amused at himself. As if Erik will be able to figure out where he is. He's at HIS mercy, isn't he?]

He really is a pretty thing, you know? I wonder how prettily he screams...

video;

[token_vengeance]

[He watches, evenly, and after a moment his face smooths into something completely unreadable.

Casual almost.

It's when he's his most dangerous.]

Oh I don't need to come to find you now.

I'll just find you later.

When you least expect it.

You won't even know I'm there.

[orange_balls]

[You don't frighten him, Erik. Though he will look mildly perturbed.]

So you're just gonna leave 'em with me, eh? I'm sure Charlie here appreciates it. [Fingers pet through Charles' hair, and he tilts his head a bit, watching the telepath, who does little else but twitch and shift here and there under his touch.]

But I thank ya for leavin' me with such a sweet little thing. I'll be sure t'have all sorts a fun with 'em.
