[Video] An accidental, personal rant

[mysterioisthetruth]

[warning: threads could potentially contain manipulation, emotional abuse, violence]

[In complete rejection of the vulnerability within himself - the sadness and weakness that he felt his unwanted shadow version had projected - Beck has become more unstable, spurred on by the feeling of lacking control. He's been working with his tech and while frantically pushing buttons, he's accidentally switched on to broadcast.]

Okay, let's do this one more time...

[He's speaking to the side, at something not seen by the camera. His voice is tense.]

It isn't enough that you made me feel like I was this small.

[His fingers close down to nothingness.]

No, not even that small. That I didn't exist.

Or that it felt like I was dead and gone and still should only be spoken about as a waste of space.

No. No, no no...

[He shakes his head, grimacing and the tension is starting to boil up and over.]

No, now you have to bring that into it--

[He points at something again out of camera range.]

Something that really, really shouldn't exist. I'm past that. I'm better than that. Despite your best efforts to keep me invisible, I'm not. People see me. People know who I am, for better or... for worse.

[He clenches his jaw at those words, fists forming at his sides.]

I'm noticed. That's what's important here.

Right? Right?

[His voice is rising, passionately angry.]

I am a known entity. I am Mysterio!

[He makes a grand sweeping gesture and his formerly regular clothing instantly transforms and reveals he's actually wearing his flashy hero suit.]

This is who I am now. It's who I'm meant to be - and you are not going to stop me. Not by your words. Not by your memory. Nothing you can do can stop me.

[He's glaring angrily past the camera then he raises his hands, green energy forming around them. His voice is quieter but now deadly.]

I should have killed you in more than just a story.

[And he lets the energy flash across the room in a bright, destructive blast. The shock of it is enough to jar the device and cut off the feed.]

[ Wwwwhat the fuck. He should probably not engage here - hell, he knows he shouldn't engage here. But since when has Peter ever made good decisions when it comes to Mysterio? Never, that's when.

He at least has the sense(?) to keep it on private, because who knows what Beck might say given a public conversation. ]

Dude, are you - you need some help.

Private forever

[mysterioisthetruth]

[There's a long moment of silence before there's any reply. Why is Peter calling him? He doesn't realise at first that he'd accidentally sent live video to the entire network. Then it hits him... Shit. And he grabs up the device to reply. While he's attempting to keep his composure, it's obviously he's rattled and the wall behind him is smoking with rubble.]

What did you see?

This is none of anyone's business but my own. I'll deal with it myself.

So we are venting our frustration about our father now by creating holographic illusions of him?

[ He sounds... Bored. Not in the mood to play games at all. ]

And you believe attacking those will teach him.

Grow up, Quentin.

[ He will call you by your first name because you insist on being Mysterio. ]

Video forever

[mysterioisthetruth]

.... Whatever you think you know? You're incorrect.

[But he's not. And Beck's been trying to sort this family issue out for weeks, using his tech, without much success - but the shadow brought it to a whole new level.]

[Eve appears, looking subdued and sad but still concerned.]

Quentin. [Gently.]</small. You accidentally posted this to everyone.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[He looks incredibly irritated, nowhere near the friendlier act she last saw.]

I already know that.

[madlove]

Is someone around to slap you across the face and snap you out of this?

[hatestrashcans]

[ Marco thrusts his hand into the air. ]

I volunteer!

[mysterioisthetruth]

How would that even help?

[hatestrashcans]

Can't you handle your daddy issues by sleeping with unsuitable people like a normal person, QQ?

I agree with Loki: Grow up. Who gives a shit what other people think? You're like a 12-year old girl in a hot man's body, it's disturbing. Get a grip, dude.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You have no right to even be talking to me.

[Because that's a rational response...]

[prophesiedone]

Look, I get it. I do. But firing your powers off at random isn't a good idea. [He is looking worse for wear - bruised and clearly shaken from his encounter with Vader.] Take a few deep breaths for me, okay?

[mysterioisthetruth]

This was supposed to be private.

[And not the first time he's done this sort of rant by himself with his tech - but nobody had seen it and things had escalated since the shadows.]

Take off the suit. Turn off the fucking machine. Have a glass of juice and go to a restaurant to have a nice dinner. Go home, go to sleep. I'll be over once I can.

Private Video for now

[mysterioisthetruth]

No. I need to resolve this.

[Sorry, David, he's beyond following reasonable advice right now.]

For overwrought and tacky theatrics, I give it... 6 out of 10. For believability... maybe a 2, if I'm feeling generous.

[ Knock Out has no zap-pony in this race, but damn if this isn't entertaining. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

This wasn't for the benefit of the public.

You need to ignore this and go on with your lives.

[kid_flash_found]

A+ on the villain monologue.

[A beat.]

Oh, wait, you're supposed to be this great hero who's going to save us all.

Re: [Audio]

[hatestrashcans]

Really? A+? I give a weak C at best.

[Video forever]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Me? Me?

You're calling me the villain here?

[He sounds incredulous.]

You sound like the morningstar.

He hurt a lot of people. Seek help.

Did you just call me Satan?

Are you okay?

[It has been a while since either of them have spoken, and she feels bad about that, but ... wow. She has no idea if she can help. But. She has to try, right?]

[When he appears, he looks harried and there's a smoking pile of debris behind him that used to be his wall.]

Do I look okay?
