[ The comm gets turned on, and is pointed to...a scenic De Chima gas station? Anyway, Freddie's looking at the comm, narrating like it's something super important. She's crouched behind her terrible, keyed-up car, as if she's hiding from someone. ]

Right, it seems like this dickhead that I've been stuck with is not a friendly face as I once thought, but is instead some sort of co-conspirator with that asshole astronaut. He's tried to keep this device away from me multiple times, obviously failing.

[ the dickhead in question is Will Graham who, emerging from the gas station and walking towards the car has a look of expression on his face that's the beaten-down expression of a man who's come to accept that everybody he knows is either missing or insane. Needless to say, once he spots Freddie recording, he picks up the pace to get to the car a bit. ]

I don't know how much time I have before he comes back. So anybody from Uranus, I need you to contact me as soon as possible. I've been designated to bring back—

Freddie, just give me the comm, and I'll—

Never, you traitor!

[ Needless to say, Will Graham has had enough of this bullshit and promptly tries to yank the comm away from Freddie. Who's struggling to keep hold of it. So enjoy some shakycam footage of a gas station, the ground, and Freddie & Will's lower bodies, complete with occasional cries of "traitor!" from Freddie. Eventually, the comm manages to get turned off in the scuffle. ]

[ ooc: lightning sucks ]

[Just.

This face.]

[ A TRIUMPHANT GRIN because she's managed to wrest the comm from Will...which then fades back to serious, grumpy scowls. ]

Right, you there, I've been deputized by Oltneimmer P.D., so you better answer any questions I ask you, got it?

[infomodder]

[Whoops someone has to drive, so everything's voice on Will's end. Well...drive, once he gets Freddie back in the car and all.]

She didn't hit her head. She's physically fine. [EDITS.] You gonna be at the house this evening? I'll drop her off if you're there.

[He is not asking if Saul wants this burden, why would he. THAT GIVES HIM ROOM TO BACK OUT OF IT AND LEAVE EVERYTHING ON WILL]

[slightlyoffchilt]

See what happens when you forsaken your gods? [You know it, he's still struck. Poor Will.] Namely, me.

[redhairring]

You're not my god, whoever you are!

[ Does this mean you won't be sucking up to me anymore, Freddie... I'm not down with that. ]

Miss Lounds? You all right, then?

[ OBVIOUSLY NOT BUT. WELL WHAT DOES ONE SAY? "HELLO WOULD YOU LIKE SOME JAM WITH YOUR NUTTER BUTTER?" Perhaps "I'VE GOT SOME SPARE RESTRAINTS WITH YOUR NAME ON THEM"? ]

Miss who now?

[ THIS IS YOUR LIFE, MARY. ]

This wasn't the sort of souvenir you meant, was it.

[rocketsmodernlife]

That asshole astronaut's from Uranus and you can't find him? This shit writes itself.

permavid!

[redhairring]

[ s c o f f ]

I know exactly what you're thinking, but we've evolved past such puerile humor on my home planet. [ you kind of have to, if you live on Uranus. ]

[ just this look because seriously dude??? ]

Like I told the other guy, I've heard all the jokes before. And I'm proud of Uranus, thank you very much, so there's no need to be like that.

voice;

[infomodder]

Don't say that to her face. She has a mean kick.

[Because Will is going to be dropping her off, so help him, so help him. He's well done with Baltimore right now and Hannibal isn't even here to make that state of being well done literal.]

[kanadian]

Uranus? Freddie, what are you talking about?

video

[redhairring]

I'm talking about arresting that astronaut that destroyed my home, that's what.

voice;

[infomodder]

[Ain't no ill will here...on Will's end, at least.]

Watch what you ask or she'll try to arrest you.

[hoboagogo]

[Oh my god. This must be what Christmas is supposed to feel like. Shinjiro does not even bother trying to hide the amused expression, lips quirked up awkwardly.]

Uranus, huh. Who is it you're looking for?

[GONNA PLAY ALONG because oh my god this is too good.] I think I heard someone mentioning that place the other day...

[video;]

[redhairring]

[ Shinjiro you jerk ]

Really? Who mentioned it? You're hindering a criminal investigation if you don't tell me, so spit it out.

voice;

[infomodder]

[if only he knew he was talking to one of the dick scribblers. if only.]

Having fun there?

[HELLO I AM MR GRUMPY GILLS]

[acclimatized]

Uranus? Talk about the worst benefit estate in the entire solar system.

[ enjoy some royal snobbery from space princess john. at last, this communicator and the network has something of interest. ]

So, this astronaut of yours... do you have any idea where we might be able to find him?

[redhairring]

Excuse you, we've cornered the market in space travel.

[ but oh my god, finally someone who's not insane in this place. ]

As for my astronaut, no idea. All I know is that he managed to escape to this world and I've been deputized to find him, arrest him, and bring him back home.

audio;

[trickstar]

... Huh. I've never stayed there long, but I've visited. It's nice enough.

[guess who also thinks he's some kind of space man THIS GUY]

You need help at all...?

permavid!

[redhairring]

[ GO TEAM SPACE. ]

Finally, someone's talking sense. But yeah, any help would be appreciated. He's an astronaut, name's Smith but he might be using a false name here. Taller than me but not too tall, long black hair.

[aggressiveapathy]

So you're doing the video blog thing. Cool.

[ Will, this is what happens when you go on road trips without her. ]

voice;

[infomodder]

[He'll never do it again, please take him back, please have booze ready by this evening, please please please.]

Does it count as doing the video blog thing if I wasn't aware it was being recorded?

voice

[belegurth]

This Uranus sounds rather important.

[He's never heard of it but hey, Melkor loves sticking his nose into other people's affairs when he can.]

Why do you seek anyone from this place?

permavid!

[redhairring]

So I can bring them to justice.

voice;

[lackey]

[Is it just him or is cheese sliding off crackers all over the place here lately? Well, might as well go along with it.]

Why are you stuck with that guy? Can't you... I don't know, run away? I mean, sounds like you've got somethin' important to do. Shouldn't let an Earth boy stop you.

permavid!

[redhairring]

[ a looooong pause before ] I can't get the door open. [ Freddie's shitty car has child locks. Will has turned said child locks on. ]

Voice;

[parallels]

There's definitely no astronauts from Uranus.

Planet's entirely deserted. Has been for thousands of years.

Video;

[redhairring]

If that's the case, then explain how I'm from there. [ short pause ] You can't, that's how.
