[02] Video; Backdated to Friday May 1st

[ Hey, everyone. It's Walt. You may remember this guy from such videos as drunk posting in his underwear. But in case you don't (and hopefully you don't), Walt is fully clothed this time. He still looks every bit as weary as his video debut, but at least he isn't drunk. That's a plus. ]

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience. It seems as though the Heropa pharmacy was caught up in whatever chaos erupted in the city and suffered some damages. We will be closed until further notice, but I will be doing my best to ensure prescriptions still get out to everyone who used my pharmacy to have them filled. We have a sister pharmacy that has temporarily taken on accounts here in Heropa. Though if it's more convenient for imPorts, I can have things forwarded to the other imPort cities.

Repairs have already begun, so I don't anticipate us being closed for over a couple weeks. If anyone wants to offer their assistance in helping rebuild the damaged sections, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I hope everyone has been well and continues to be well now that the worst of this is all behind us.

Hey, I said please. Let's get some good Samaritans up in here, come on.

[ Don't be nervous, Walt! He just means it's odd that it didn't all go completely to pot, given the stunts the dragon pulled elsewhere. But he'd seen that fire burn right through, well, everything. ]

Just don't forget to report that. [ If he hadn't already, and if it matters, given the amount of looting that went on elsewhere. But, you know...go through the motions, Walt. ] And thank your lucky stars it wasn't worse. Y'know I'll help where you need.

Maybe once it's finished people will feel like a barbecue. Could use the break.

I appreciate your help, Hank. Truly.

And hey -- maybe you can propose that to anyone who comes to help with the cleanup? They get a free invitation to a barbeque with burgers and dogs cooked by you? I mean, we'll have all of Heropa helping us in that case! Sure hope you've been saving up the money, because you're about to have the most expensive barbeque to date.

Ha, ain't that a pretty picture, but let's not get carried away. One, no way on my salary. Two, the people got a lot more to clean up than just your pharmacy, my friend. But I'm pretty sure a few ought to make it priority numero uno, at least 'til you can get some professionals to finish the job.

Besides, don't think all that gets you off the hook. You're still ponying up a little for the barbecue.

If that's the case, I don't want to hear it if I have a couple of beers.

[ Walt flashes a smile, joking. He's better now. One hundred percent better, Hank! And he needs the alcohol if he's going to have to socialize and deal with your friends, bro. ]

Someone did say that they can use their power and fix everything instantly. It seems like the cleanup won't take very long at all.

[ Whatever bro, he worries more about your choice in friends. What's that about. Gonna need all the beers just for that. ]

You mean with alchemy? Jesus. Isn't that like— science with magic? Cults from ye olden whogivesacrap or something? Figure it'd be right down there with bone rattlin' voodoo spells to someone like you.

[ It's not like my friends are invited. You hate them all :( ]

He....didn't specify what he would be using? I assume some sort of power. Maybe his power is just to magically fix walls. Useless until you get walls in need of repair -- and then he's in hot demand.

[ He knows he heard 'alchemy' but who the fuck knows what blondie actually meant by it. ]

Uhhhh then right now he's gotta be a rock star. Send him to the bar by the station next if he's that quick a fix.

Is there a lot of damage out that way?

I mean, I know you did an incredible job holding off that dragon, but I'm not sure what she managed to do before you arrived on the scene.

Okay okay before you go singing praises and throwing me into a different kinda fire, I didn't hold it off exactly. I mean there were others on that. I was just evacuating the locals with some help and we caught her eye for a few unfortunate...endless minutes. Barely managed to distract her, but she just couldn't resist this mug, huh?

[ He has yet to mention to Walt he almost died if not for a healer but that's no big deal right? Hank doesn't talk about that shit. BETTER TO BOAST and then totally regret it later shut up Walt. ]

But yeah the damage was severe where she hit. I mean I can say that damage at your pharmacy ain't from her. Probably just some infected or looters too high to know when it's overkill.

Well, you walked away from that and that's saying something.

[ Walt will not shut up! ]

But I would have felt better if you had gone to Maurtia Falls with me.

[ No he wouldn't. But he's obligated to say that. ]

It might not be the best and most shining city, but compared to what was going on in Heropa, it was safe as can be. I know, I know. You did what you had to do, but still. You're the only family I have here, Hank. Now it's my turn to say: take care of yourself, will you?

[ Truth. Surviving a dragon attack is something worth bragging about. He just doesn't want the actual heroes who took the dragon down to get the wrong idea. Hank's priority was evacuating the people.

And Walt's words only make him glad he didn't mention the close call. Gross, feelings. ]

Gotta protect and serve! But yeah yeah, really I was fine, I had solid back up. We kept each other outta the happy hour buffet long enough to clear two buildings before she came callin'. The ladies just can't resist me, what can I say?

You don't need to worry, there's only room for one dragon in my life.

[ HE LOVES YOU, MARIE SCHRADER. ]

I'm not sure Marie would view that as a compliment.

[ Walt laughs quietly, though also as quietly -- he kind of agrees about Marie being a dragon. Marie had turned pretty vicious toward him and Skyler at the end there. ]

But seriously, I'm glad you were okay. I know people claim death isn't permanent here, but I would rather not find that out by losing someone I care about.

Man, just because she isn't around doesn't mean you gotta be the worrywart. I got it all under control, brother. Already brushed it off and cleaning up your messes, huh? See, just like the old days.

[ Rude. But said with love. ]

Cake walk.

[ Excuse u, Hank. ]

Hah. I'm so grateful. Truly. How would I ever be able to survive a single day without you around, Hank?

[ Don't put him in a barrel. ]

Perish the thought. No one's goin' anywhere.

[ Never! You are the only exception, Hank ]

Good.

[ A pause. Well, now that we're on good terms, Hank. Walt is going to test those boundaries a little. ]

You know, I believe things have blown over with Doctor Chilton. We had a very pleasant interaction over the network.

[ That he's pretty sure you saw anyway. ]

I don't believe there's any reason to pursue extending the restraining order.

Edited 2015-05-12 02:32 (UTC)

[ Brooo. ]

Yeah yeah. You shouldn't even be talking to him, y'know...

[ Simple things like that he wasn't gonna speak up on, but since it's being brought up? This? Nooo brooo. ]

I'm sure he's all sweet talk and ass pats now that you're forbidden fruit. He's a goddamn shrink, he just wants to get you comfortable and then shake up more of your shit. That or he wants the restraining order to drop to make himself look better. Either way he just wants to prove he's the big man in charge.

Fuck it, Walt. You don't need to try to be the bigger man, here. I met the asshole for myself, I know what he's like. Just forget about him and however he buttered you up. We got actual problems to worry about right now.

Edited 2015-05-12 06:55 (UTC)

[ Good thing this is voice. It's a damn good thing this is voice because as Hank goes on, Walt gets irrationally angry. Hank didn't know a goddamn thing about Chilton. Not his terrible traits. And not his good ones either. ]

It isn't like that!

[ He blurts out before he can stop himself. And now that it's said, he needs to follow it up with something. ]

Look. It was my fault things got out of hand. Chilton isn't some predatory monster hell bent on getting me into therapy. [ Yes he was. ] And I even if he was, I already found a therapist. And said therapist [ Chilton. ] told me now that my cancer's gone, this is the beginning of a new healing process. And that holding on to petty concerns would only serve as a distraction, preventing me from growth and progress.

I want to move on. I want to forgive and forget. I have to coexist with this man, and I would rather it be amicable. There's no denying he's a bit of an asshole, Hank. But I don't think he'll be any sort of problem any longer.

[ A bit. A BIT? Rargh. ]

Oh yeah? Your therapist actually think it's a good idea to start being buddies with your old stalker? Come on. I don't remember you running back to any of the other jagweeds that burned you back in Albuquerque, and this guy's gotta be worse.

You can forgive and forget all you like, but you barely have to coexist with Chilton or anyone else beyond the swearing-ins unless you want to. There are a hundred other imPorts you can play with and a big wide world out there. Not like you guys hang around the same circles.

[ Not like Chilton would be working with pharmacists directly. What world would that be in? ]

Went through the fucking trouble to separate you two 'cause you couldn't play nice on your own, and you wanna sing kumbaya now? Too little too late, my friend.

Hank, please. I'm trying to make progress here. Isn't that what you wanted out of me? I'm not saying I want to go out to Sunday brunch with the man, but I can at least have a conversation with him or be in the same proximity as him. The same thing that happened before will not happen again.

This just sounds like backtracking through dog shit to me.

[ But UGH, Walt said it was supported by his therapist so what can he actually do? He's putting up a fight because he feels he has to, but there are much bigger battles out there right now that require his attention. ]

But hey, whatever, I can't tell you what to do. Just don't go doing something stupid 'cause of this and expect me to bail you out again.

[ Because...Hank will always bail him out, even with the bitching. Goddamn. ]

[ The relief is audible in Walt's voice the minute Hank relents. Finally. He can actually stop sneaking around when it comes to talking to Chilton. ]

Of course I won't. [ It was a mistake to go to Hank in the first place. Walt learned his lesson. ]

It'll be fine. I'm getting better now, Hank. I won't project on to him. And to be honest, of the two psychiatrists, I think Chilton is the lesser of the two evils.

[ A pause. ]

I mean. You've spoken to Jonathan Crane. And you probably shouldn't. There's something not right about him.

[ Don't get gassed, Hank. Please don't get gassed. ]

Jesus, Walt, you're not saying anything everyone and their dog doesn't know. He doesn't even try to hide it.

But he's not a cannibal, hasn't bombed a prison or kidnapped a buncha imPorts, and he doesn't threaten cops careers, so as far as I'm concerned, he's more worthy of a beer than a lot of other dickweeds around here. Not right describes two thirds of the imPorts, so don't get me started.

[ LIKE CALL THIS A WIN AND SHUT UP, WALT. ]

Besides, I don't need a shrink so I don't give a damn which of 'em is worse. I'm just here to do my job and watch your back, so have a little faith in me, huh?

[ No, Hank! Walt can't! Digs that hole deeper. ]

I was friends with Crane, Hank. For the first couple of months, we got along very well. But then the more I got to know him, the more I saw that he's hiding something. Something dangerous.

[ It's alright to say this, isn't it? It's alright to warn this way. As long as Walt doesn't sell out what it is exactly that Crane's concocting...this is the best thing he can do for Hank, right?

Either that or this will make Hank investigate him more. Shit. ]

As soon as I realized this, I immediately ended the friendship and have been keeping my distance. But I have a bad feeling about him, and I don't want to see you fall into any unorthodox things he might be doing. He's a chemist too, you know. So please, just exercise caution, Hank.

[ The fucks given on this matter are growing smaller and smaller for Hank. ]

Yeah, 'cause you're just the beacon of stellar decision making when it comes to good ol' buddies, huh?

[ No leg to stand on when he crawls to Chilton and Pinkman no matter what their level of garbage. Hank's not interested in being friends with Crane, anyway, but Hank's not the one that's been driven to ~~cooking meth~~ going to therapy here. ]

Everyone here's hiding something, the government gave every imPort a blank slate. My job's already a nightmare and you're preaching to the goddamn choir, so just focus on your pharmacy and stick a cork in it already.
