[001, video, OTA] INTRODUCTION

[cursedbyarose]

[There's some fumbling, the screen fuzzy and unfocused. The only thing visible was a dark brown blob, the camera constantly changing.

It was obvious whoever was holding it was having issues using the controls to work the communicator.]

I command you to work this instant!

[The voice was booming, demanding, and fright-inducing

Comments

[ Hey video! Have a fuzzy, static-y gypsy, somewhere a few floors down. She sounds a bit concerned. ]

Are you alright....sir?

[ At least she thinks it's a sir. DONT BE RUDE ESME. ]

[cursedbyarose]

Does it look like I'm alright?!

[He yells, practically roaring again, only afterwards realizing that it was a woman's voice. A WOMAN. And it was coming from that confounded stupid little metal box thing he was given. He picks the communicator back up and eyes it warily and curious, hackles still up a bit.]

How'd you get into this stupid box?

[outcastinparis]

[ Patience, Esme. However, the look on her face is less than amused. ]

I'm not in it. I just have one too. See?

[ She holds hers up to a mirror, showing herself and the comm. ]

It lets you talk to people that have one too.

[cursedbyarose]

And why do I need this? I have no need to speak with anyone here!

[Aw... Beast is yelling to hide that embarrassment from assuming she was inside. How quaint~]

[newyorkbynight]

Whoa, take it easy!

[Elisa is in her office rather than Hoover Hall, but the roar - very different to the roar that shook the rooftops of Manhattan at sunset - pushed all thoughts of paperwork out of her mind.]

Shouting at the communicator won't make it work. Just calm down.

[cursedbyarose]

Who's there?!

[He's looking around his room for the source of the voice. Beast doesn't quite understand what the communicator was for, or what it does.]

Show yourself!

[newyorkbynight]

Elisa. Elisa Maza. I'm the Head of Campus Security.

[She waved at the communicator screen.]

Down here.

[cursedbyarose]

How did you get into the box?

[Derpity derp.]

[Video]

[wolf_faerie]

[You can bet that she heard that roar. She'll assume it's some kind of animal, and she doesn't like to see animals in trouble.]

A-are you alright?

[Video]

[cursedbyarose]

No! Abosultely not! First my servants were lusted away from this godforsaken place, then I find my prisoner ran away here as well, and now nothing here makes sense! Stupid metal boxes!

[And there goes an endtable, smashing into the wall. He lets out another roar, before realizing that there was another voice in his room.

He gets down on all fours and scrutinizes his new quarters, trying to find the souce. Too bad he doesn't realize it's from the communicator.]

[Video]

[wolf_faerie]

[Prisoner? Hmm. That sounds suspicious. She winces as the table hits the wall.]

The box lets you talk to people from far away. I don't know how it works either, but it's not so bad.

[Video]

[cursedbyarose]

[Thank you, little girl. Beast is now hovering over and staring down directly at the screen.]

That's stupid. I don't need a box to see people far away, nor do I have the need to talk to them.

[namelessidekick]

Whoa there, big boy. Let's tone it down a notch.

[cursedbyarose]

[Oh, hello. Now there's a picture on that communicator his just threw. Beast fluidly swishes into the shadows, teeth bared and growling.

He quickly snatches the commicator from the floor and returns to the shadows. He's still not quite sure how the contraption works, but he's not pleased with the boy on the screen.]

I will do as I please, human boy. You have no right to order me around!

[namelessidekick]

[considering that he's talking to an angry beast with big teeth and horns, Ron is very calm!]

Hey now! Is that any way to treat someone who's trying to help?

[he stops and rubs his chin in thought.]

...how about anger management classes?

[cursedbyarose]

[Stupid blonde kid. Keep it up, and you might be scared of manbearpig here instead of the mouse.]

And why would you help me?

[In short, Beast doesn't believe in your chivalry, Ron. He thinks you're up to something.]

[Video]

[fierce_cat]

[Have a big loud roar from the other end of the communicator, Beast. This cub's not impressed with your temper tantrum. You sound like a grownup who should know better]

It's a machine. It's not alive and it doesn't care if you're angry at it.

[Video]

[cursedbyarose]

[You don't scare Beast, little kitten. In fact, if anything, you just pissed him off worse.]

Do not order me around!

[Video]

[fierce_cat]

[Have another snarl anyway, Beast. Shere Khan knows that showing fear is a dumb, dumb idea when dealing with other animals]

It wasn't an order. It was advice. Tch. If you're gonna act like an overgrown cub that's just learned how to roar, I'm not helping you.

[cursedbyarose]

Does it look like I wanted your help in the first place?
