[Well, first thing that comes across the feed when it starts is little more than a few muffled voices, whoever is holding the phone covering the speaker until they finish. It's a harsh sound even through the interference, almost commanding, but it's gone when Belial turns his attention to the phone proper.]All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'll try

Comments

[faultlesscon]

Anywhere else that a fellow can help, or is that the priority?

[deal_withthe]

[Oh hay, his little snark buddy from before! His tone becomes considerably more amiable at that, but whether or not it's entirely genuine, well....]

I take it you're not particularly tech savvy, then? A shame, but I'm sure we could find some use for you.

[faultlesscon]

Common cause and what not - you have my interest like hell if you're seeking out those who did this in the first place.

[deal_withthe]

Trust me, finding the bastards in charge is the top priority.

[Aaand though Alex can't see it, Belial's almost thoughtful when he pauses.] I could always use an extra set of eyes and ears around the place, if you really want to help. Having an army suddenly dropped on our doorstep is bound to make some people more than a little jumpy and stupid, and the last thing we need is anybody interfering with our people while they work.

VIDEO

And then what do you plan to do once you've found them?

[deal_withthe]

VOICE

[Huh, well you sure look familiar. Huey can't see it, but Belial has to look his image over before he answers.]

I plan to make the self-important fucks do what they should have done when we arrived here- send the rest of us back where we come from.

[Yeah, and then he has to pause again. He has met this man before, back in Icarus. So he and Vulpes weren't the only ones the goddess lost her grip on. It's a cheering thought.] It was Laforet, wasn't it?

[immortalstudies]

[That causes him a pause for a heartbeat. Exactly a heartbeat before you can see his lips curve up into a smile that is genuine, but genuine with fascination and cold interest and nothing else.]

That is correct.

[And he doesn't say anything else. The temptation's really too great. He wants to know what the other will say, how he'll be greeted by this strange fellow who obviously knows something about him. Whether he's from his own world or another, this has potential.]

[deal_withthe]

[That's....not quite recognition. But that's fixed easily enough, because half a moment later Belial switches on the video feed on his end as well, eyeing the man with too dark eyes.]

Huey Laforet. [He has to repeat for emphasis, watch for any reaction the man might have at hearing the full name. Another familiar face is fantastic, another potential ally, and from what he remembers of their brief talks before, of the man's past brush with other demons....] Come now, I can't be that unmemorable, can I?

[bloomingchange]

voice;

I don't think I'll be very helpful in disabling the barriers but if there is anything I can do to help in any other way--!

[deal_withthe]

voice;

Well, I can hardly say no to an offer like that. What sort of talents do you have exactly, luv?

[bloomingchange]

FOREVER VOICE;

W-w-well... I can help with... try to help in whatever needs helping with?

(voice)

[cigarboss]

I'm afraid I'd be no help with the barriers, but I'd like to offer my assistance elsewhere.

[cigarboss]

[Oh look, a familiarly annoying face. Er, voice.]

I am. Affiliated with a number of special forces and with many years of experience under my belt. [aka if you don't have superpowers she can kick your ass.]

[martyrtoscience]

Voice

Who put you in charge?

[deal_withthe]

Voice

I'm failing to see any of you offer up any better suggestions on what to do.

[martyrtoscience]

We can't all try to order everyone around. It would be chaos.

[deal_withthe]

Which this city seems to thrive on, I'm noticing. I suppose their fearless leaders need to get their rocks off somehow.
