027 [audio]

[farfairersoul]

...Well.

Now that everything appears to be back to normal, I suppose it would be fair to, ah, share our findings?

[In the background, there's the high--so high it's almost above human hearing--whine of a television. There's also a little static, and a man's voice that might be recognizable if one strained their ears.]

I learned stuff.

[If that's the vivisection video...]

[farfairersoul]

Oh? What did you learn, Lily?

[That's exactly what it is.]

[lilyground]

[Lily never wants to see that video again. ;A; It offends her delicate sensibilities.]

I met Boar, and I got this notey thing...

[ /text ]

That. And I saw stuff.

[farfairersoul]

[Razer chuckles a little.]

I have the poster that's scrawled on, I believe, though I doubt I can make much more sense of it than you.

[At least it's readable now. Razer doesn't read in English yet, you see, so he only really recognized the numbers and the degree sign--having a translation of the letters without having to bother Erol is a pleasant surprise.

He thinks it might be a location, assuming it's anything at all, but he's never been any good with navigation by degrees and this is hardly readable to begin with.]

What kinds of things did you see? If you don't mind my asking, of course, I saw quite a bit myself. Were you on the deck full of plague and passengers in cages?

[electroniccrane]

[Kusanagi cannot believe what she just heard.]

Write down the dialogue before someone comes to take that back.

[The "you idiot" is implied.]

[Locked to Kusanagi // 90% Unhackable]

[farfairersoul]

[You can practically HEAR the eyeroll.]

Already done, Major. Among other things. You could stand to have a little faith, not all of us are complete fools.

[He's going for a reaction from the crew to gauge just how important this bit of footage is, and so far hasn't gotten anything. To be honest, he's disappointed.]

[electroniccrane]

You do a remarkably good impression of it.

[Click.]

[thepartydude]

You took it?

[Ewww. Ewwww. Mike had nightmares about that damn tape. D:]

[farfairersoul]

I didn't have time to watch it belowdeck, so it seemed the only viable option. It's rather educational, don't you think?

[thepartydude]

Yeah, if you're a serial killer.

[farfairersoul]

Or the prisoner of one~

[psychoticracer]

[Erol twirls a knife in his fingertips as he lounges on his back atop Razer's bed. Tilting his head at his counterpart, the view is upside-down, which is as mildly amusing to him as toying with a honed weapon.]

Laying on the part of "cooperative information broker" a bit thick, aren't we?

[farfairersoul]

Mm, perhaps. Honestly I'm surprised no one has realized that this little show has about as much to do with the information of this--

[He waves a hand at the television.]

--as your and my public quarrels have to do with sincere hate.

[Razer takes a seat at the foot of the bed and leans back a little, communicator still in hand.]

Don't you find it odd that the crew has yet to respond?

[psychoticracer]

Mmm, not especially. Kage's too smart to let you know it's important by kicking up a fuss, and the others follow his lead.

[His gaze flicks to Razer's, a canny gleam in his eye.]

That they haven't commented at all certainly means they don't want us to think it's important, so of course it is. Unfortunately, forewarned is fore-armed, so we won't be hearing a peep from them on the matter until they steal the tape back... if even then.

[Erol tests the edge of his blade, then frowns and reaches to his side on the mattress for a much-loved knife sharpener.]

On the plus, Kusanagi now thinks you're incapable of anything more cunning than "Ding Dong Ditch..." which places you smack in her blind spot.

[Batou's commanding officer had to be caught off-guard when it was time for a move against the cyborg. The less prepared either of them were for genuine strategy coming from the pointy objects brigade, the better

[farfairersoul]

As much as I dislike being considered below anyone's estimation of formidable, it is a good position to hold. For the moment.

[He sets his comm down to get a cigarette, lighting up and taking a drag before turning and offering the same cigarette to Erol. The intimacy of the action won't be lost on the Commander and he knows it, but no words regarding it are necessary.

He took care of that quite enough over the last week, thank you. If he never says "I love you" again it will be far, far too soon.]

Mostly, I'm curious how to crew will handle every passenger I can get one to having a copy. It won't be easy to clean up after this delectable little mess.

[betterthanraph]

[Oh God did he just make it public knowledge that he TOOK THAT.]

...that was maybe not a good idea.

[farfairersoul]

No, I'm fairly certain it was a very good idea.

[Don't worry, Leo, this has a purpose.]

[betterthanraph]

All right then. I...hope it works out for you, sir. [God willing nobody will charge after this guy with the intent of killing him brutally and robbing his corpse.]

[farfairersoul]

[Dude. Leo. Razer's not stupid, and he's not unfamiliar with the workings of pretty much any sort of electronic viewing device. Think about who his boss is and what he has trailing him around all the time.

Razer's well-accustomed to attempts on his life, and has pirated copies of this onto camcorders, old VHS tapes, and something similar to a jumpdrive but slightly more appropriate for his world--since he finally stopped getting lost on the way to the bathroom.]

Oh, I'm certain it will. One way or the other.
