[The feed opens to Cave in a dank, dark cell still in his devil costume from the party. Despite his admittedly bleak situation, Cave's face shines with his trademark optimism. Cave clears his throat a moment before speaking, this being his first intentional broadcast.]Cave Johnson here. Now, I know what some of you are wondering. 'How could a man ( Read more... )

[ Her hair is a bit of a mess, a few smudges on her cheek. By the strange rings around her eyes, it looks as though she hasn't slept for a while. Still, she seems relieved at the post. ]

Mr. Johnson? How are you holding up?

Re: [video] iowntheplace November 4 2011, 07:25:35 UTC

Caroline?

[Cave's face betrays him and flashes a moment of warm happiness at the sight of her.]

Ha ha. Oh man, you wouldn't believe it. This hunk of junk accuses me of arson, right? Says I have to be "apprehended" or some nonsense. And then, THEN, he opens fire. No "stop or I'll shoot". Just opens fire. I mean, who would build a machine that just opens fire on you without warning? Irresponsible is what it is.

[Cave pauses, realizing he's beginning to ramble.]

Anyway, I'm fine, all things considered. A few scrapes and bruises, a little bored, and I think my left foot's falling asleep, but otherwise fine.

You were fired at?

[ Caroline's unable to keep the anger from showing and there's an audible snap just off screen. She calms quickly though, tone strangely even and somewhat monotone. ]

Don't worry, Sir. I'll be sure to deal with Mr. House appropriately. [ She pauses and types a few commands into the communicator, locking the feed. ]

Your stay won't be much longer.

[Cave raises an eyebrow at the screen.]

Oh? What do you intend to do Caroline? Science him until he lets me go? Don't you worry your pretty little head. I mean, we can't both take absurd risks. Just stay as safe as you can manage.

[Cave's face relapses to that inhuman, otherworldly look.]

I think everything will work out juuuust fine.

Can a deal involve chicken?

Re: [Video] iowntheplace November 4 2011, 07:40:38 UTC

[Cave looks genuinely confused, never having has the pleasure of speaking with an animal before.]

Well, yes...I mean, technically it could. But...I mean...

[Cave pauses to looks for the right words.]

You're a dog. Are you aware?

[Video] toppomeranian November 4 2011, 07:43:17 UTC

[He is ever so aware.]

I'm Missile. I'm a pomeranian.

[But he digresses. Back to business, shall we?]

Now, this chicken. It'll be all mine, yes? Not just table scraps found on the floor?

Re: [Video] iowntheplace November 4 2011, 07:55:02 UTC

[Cave waves his hand around, as if physically searching for the right words. When he does speak, it's slow, as if the dog would have a hard time understanding.]

It would be but...you're a dog. You won't be able to pay the price.

[Starscream looks through the video feed at Cave.]

Your disguise has never been more fitting.

Re: [Video] iowntheplace November 4 2011, 07:37:36 UTC

[Cave pauses for a moment, then puts on a look of genuine hurt. Well, it LOOKS genuine at least.]

Why my good sir, I am shocked. SHOCKED. Perhaps you're simply projecting? Yes, that must be it. Your just feeling awful because all that chain smoking you do is destroying your voice.

[Video] deceptiveplane November 4 2011, 07:47:35 UTC

...What is this...'chain' smoking?

I'm not overheating in the slightest.

Re: [Video] iowntheplace November 4 2011, 07:52:13 UTC

[Cave pauses, and squints and the screen, as if peering into the gentleman on the other side.]

You...You haven't been human very long have you?

[Well somebody here would like more than anything to have her old body back, But she knows when someone's making an offer like this, it's normally to good to be true. Excuse her for being cautious.]

...What's the catch?

Re: [Video] iowntheplace November 4 2011, 19:33:10 UTC

[Cave yawns casually.]

Your soul. You know, the usual. No big deal really.

[Video] swordandscales November 5 2011, 08:10:20 UTC

My soul huh? [Sarcasm mode activated.] Oh sure! What would I need one of those for, it's not like it's important or anything.

...

Yeah, I'm not gonna be parting with it anytime soon. Sorry.

Re: [video/text] iowntheplace November 4 2011, 20:15:32 UTC

[Cave grins slightly]

able to speak?

Re: [video/text] iowntheplace November 5 2011, 02:32:49 UTC

A trifling matter. I can make that happen for you...If you're willing to pay.

[Cave smiles in a highly unsettling manner.]
