[It's the wee hours of the morning and it's... Actually the first night's sleep Peter's gotten since showing up here that's been anywhere close to decent. So he still looks like hell, just slightly less so at the moment. When he speaks, it's quietly, and he keeps glancing off-screen as if to make sure of something.First things first. I might have

[Instead of sleeping tonight, Nathan ate a load of sweets and has been fucking with Tommy for hours. So now he's on a bit of a sugar rush and messing with the communicator. Have a video response, Peter, of him looking so, so happy.]

Did you just give me permission to kick you? Because that's totally what I'm taking away from this!

[lovethissuit]

[FACE. PALM.]

...Not you. You don't get that privilege considering you're pretty deserving of a good kick or two yourself from what I've seen so far.

[saveme_barry]

[Arms folded indignantly across his chest.]

Well that's not fair. If you can hit me, despite being deserving of a kick, then I should be able to kick you despite being kick worthy myself.

[He flops backwards onto his bunk. You now get to hear but not see him, Peter.]

So, what exactly is your effective charge taking going to entail? Because I feel I should warn you in advance, I have like, zero practical skills. I don't even have any useless skills, really, I mean, other than the obvious.

[The camera gives a little jolt, because it's sat on his lap and he just did a little hip thrust.]

[lovethissuit]

Hate to break it to you, but life isn't always fair like that. I know it's devastating to hear it.

[Pause to think and roll his eyes at the flopping. Very mature, Nathan.]

I'll figure that out once I know my resources. And even if you don't have any practical skills now, you can learn. [The implication being you will learn things and you will like it, young man.] Though I'm sure you can do something already. Everybody's got a talent. [And he really hopes yours isn't being a total dickwad.]

[breakmychest]

I've never made a habit of listening to authority before. Don't think I'll start now.

[lovethissuit]

[Nosepinch and a sigh before explaining himself slowly.]

This isn't about authority. This is about the fact that we've all been dropped in the middle of a weird new situation that I'm pretty sure nobody has the first clue about. Whether it was me or somebody else who finally stood up and tried to get this train on the tracks doesn't matter. Working together is the smart thing to do.

[breakmychest]

Yeah, assuming we are all in this together. I've got no reason to trust you. For all I know you're part of this whole bloody plot.

[lovethissuit]

...Yeah, I went and put my entire life on hold to screw around with a bunch of people and things I never even believed existed because I'm so damn all-powerful and all-knowing that I've been wearing the same goddamn clothes for a month.

[He visibly restrains himself, before exhaling sharply.]

But whatever. You want to stick in your little corner with your conspiracy theories by yourself, then by all means. Feel free. I'll be over here trying to make a difference.

[CLICK.]

[authoritative tone aside, she appreciates that the guy is trying to DO something rather than sitting on his hands. so here, have a helpful Buffy. Sort of]

My name's Buffy Summers. I ... well, let's just say that this thing is sort of in my area of expertise.

I'd go into more detail, but ... kinda not something I want the whole world hearing quite yet, and I can't figure out if there are privacy settings on this thing. Buffy and foreign magic tend to be non-mixy things.

[lovethissuit]

[He can't help the tone. HE IS AGENT-MAN. Only without the silly cape and tights most other people with -MAN suffixes seem to have.]

Miss Summers. [A nod of greeting as he fixes the face/name in his head.] I already know there's a few people around here with more experience than I do with whatever weird crap is going on here, which I'll readily say is pretty much zero. I appreciate the need for discretion, though I'm pretty sure this isn't exactly the whole world. ...Or even the usual one, given the constellations I haven't been able to pick out. So. If you'd like to keep it to yourself, then fine, but if you'd prefer to do this in person rather than over the Grimm Brothers Blackberry, I'm... [A dry snort.] Well, obviously nobody here's going anywhere for the moment, but I'm going to be by the storehouse for a while.

[He leaves the invitation open.]

[isaywe_party]

Storehouse. Gotcha. I can be there in ten.

spam/log/assume? :3

[lovethissuit]

I'll be waiting.

[He looks over to Neal again, but. If Neal hasn't woken up yet, Peter thinks he'll stay out as long as they don't go and shout in his ear. Besides, leaving Neal alone and unconscious out here? Is just not going to happen. ...And he really doesn't want to have to drag his ass back to the cabin. Neal's heavier than he looks for such a tiny cartoony man.]

[im_apimp]

[Alec has been here all of a day. But his respect for the FBI is ... well, nonexistent. So sorry, Peter, he's less helpful]

FBI, huh? This place really went for the big guns.

[lovethissuit]

Well, you know, the Bureau decided it'd be incredibly irresponsible for there not to be an agent present in the Disney camping experience from hell and I did have that vacation time coming. [Sarcasm. Peter can has it.]

[im_apimp]

[laughs. Alec can appreciate the sarcasm]

Well, don't worry, g-man. I'm sure you'll find plenty of people to turn this into America two-point-oh.

[lovethissuit]

Thanks for the vote of confidence in my ability to Pleasantville up the place. [A quiet snort as he smirks.] Should I put your name on a list for when we start the apple pie bake-off?

[fellbychoice]

[Anna's so proud of this guy right now. Wary, but proud.]

It's not the best idea to just have one man in charge, not with something like this.

[lovethissuit]

I don't plan to be the only one, ma'am. Having only one person in charge makes the system that much easier to be taken out, and I'm not exactly fond of painting that big a target on my back. This is only temporary until I know exactly who I've got here and where they can do the best work.

[fellbychoice]

Good, because I'm going to help you.

[lovethissuit]

...Well, thank you for that, ma'am. I'm never one to say no to help. [He chuckles and smiles - not in any kind of patronizing or mocking way, just. You remind him of his probie-girl.] I'm supposing you have some kind of experience with these situations, Miss...?
