[ the feed clicks on with a start. someone has apparently... woken up. from a very long sleep. startled, definitely, the person had scrambled around much beforehand, though of course, none of that had been recorded. a shame, really. it was probably pretty amusing

[It might not have been a laughing matter to him, but everything was a laughing matter to her -- whether Sarina liked it or not.]

Eeheeheehee -- you're back!

[She was beginning to think he really was dead -- permanently, that is.]

[VIDEO]

[ it takes him a good minute before he makes his way over to where he chucked the NV. he picks it up and stares down at it, still obviously livid--

but, then he sees Sarina's face and tries to calm down. sighing briskly, he offers a short bark of laughter. ]

Yeah. Seems that way.

[It's okay, she's used to surrounding herself with angry people, so she doesn't seem the least bit bothered by his display.]

So, uh...ahahaha...are you--

[...okay? No, that'd probably be a stupid thing to ask, right now.]

Are you able to walk?

[ he shifts around, fussing with himself. feeling for injuries... ] I think so. [ maybe he should actually try standing... ] This is too much.

Temper, temper.

[A tired looking Liquid, wearing his FOXHOUND coat fastened tightly up to his neck, watches him through the video screen.]

Welcome back.

[VIDEO]

[virogenic]

[ likewise, there is a small delay before he replies... ]

Tch. I have every right to be angry. [ though, ngl, he is calmed a bit by the familiar face and voice. he tries to calm down at least a little more... ]

...But... Thanks, I guess.

[VIDEO]

[ysobritish]

Of course you do. Still, damaging the NV will not aid the situation.

[Liquid is a massive hypocrite. He lifts a hand, idly gesturing.]

Do you require assistance? Or has your revival gone easily?

[VIDEO]

[virogenic]

[ sigh. he knows this, but even he has a temper sometimes. it's just a lot rarer and... a lot more difficult to keep in check. he runs a hand through his hair. ]

I hadn't even.. checked to see if I'm still wounded... [ or scarred or whatever the case may be. if he had his powers, any wounds should have disappeared anyway... ] I'll figure that out when I can get some cover.

[...Jeez, what is it with you people and your temper tantrums?]

What now?

[ as if it's the most obvious thing in the world, Cross replies flatly: ]

I'm still alive.

[A short pause, and Kadaj tilts his head to one side slightly, thoughtful.]

...So you did it on purpose. [Yeah, don't think he didn't see the mess you made of yourself on the network.]

[VIDEO]

[virogenic]

[ a very uncomfortable pause. ]

Yes. Once I got the files, I had no intention of surviving that mission.

[video]

[axemeaquestion]

THERE you are. Jesus, Cross...

[video]

[virogenic]

[ sigh. o Rochelle. how guilty he feels all of a sudden. ]

...Yeah. I'm back, I guess.

[video]

[axemeaquestion]

What were you thinking exactly, again? Because you scared the shit out of me.

[STARE BACK.]

Are you okay?

[video]

[virogenic]

...I told you, didn't I? It's not right for me to be alive.

[ pause... ]

Physically? Yeah, I'm fine. Everything seems to be in its place.

Voice.

[outbursting]

Whoa.

Angry much?

[VIDEO]

[virogenic]

[ a brisk, frustrated sigh. ]

I have a right to be.

Voice forever. LIKE YOUR MOM.

[outbursting]

Were you ... were you ... did you drink some of that water, too?

[VIDEO]

[virogenic]

?? [ now he just looks confused. ] What water?
