[video] my headcanon about carapaces, let me show you itpricesandvaulesMarch 28 2011, 04:05:53 UTC
Droog continues watching the camera. He knows someone's there. But there's nothing he can do about it at the moment, and he wants a smoke.
He pauses in his slow shuffle. If Alex is watching closely, he might see a smallish stone building materialize out of nowhere, see Droog push away from the wall he's leaning on long enough to reach inside. Or maybe he's seeing things. Because buildings don't come out of nowhere, right?
Either way, a moment later he's pocketed his deck in favor of a box of cigarettes and a lighter. He cups the flame as he lights up, giving Alex a better view of his face. It's unlined and noseless, with a jaw that's clearly differentiated from his cheek and a hard sheen to it that might be iridescent in the right light.

Bees don't come out of people's hands either, but here we are. Enough utter illogical crap has happened in the mansion that Alex stares at the house, but doesn't assume that it must be an illusion.
He stares even more at Droog's chitinous face, his own face a mask even though no-one can see it. Between the Operator, the Jabberwock and what Sofia's told him about Delta, he has lots of reasons to believe that when someone looks like a creepy monster, it's probably because they are.

[Hey look, it's Snowman. She's smoking. Her eyes are narrowed in a way that suggests she is genuinely happy to see him, in a vicious, deadly kind of way.]
Of course it's Snowman. She is in all the timelines. All of them. He gives her a nod and waves his own cigarette (because of course he's got one going by now, what do you take him for?) at the cameras.
[She sighs out a pale cloud, wishing she could say yes. Global surveillance would be great. But even lying would be no good here. She's already learning that the mansion has a vicious sense of humor--fortunately not from personal experience.]
Nope. Word on the street is they belong to some 'Red Queen.'

Either way, it's usually a good idea to... not that he wants to jump to conclusions, but to see what he's up against.
He's just an observer for now.

Anyone out there? Report.
After a moment of silence--or is it radio static?--he shakes his head and tucks the cards away.

It's been a very long time since he's met anyone who isn't carapaced or green.

Back home, that's more than enough of an introduction. You and your unscrupulous cohorts pretty much run the show.
