[ The post to the network, when it flickers to life, shows two costumed figures, and behind them is essentially the rubble of a building that may have been recently destroyed. As it is, there is still something of a backdrop of a wall, even if it's littered in scorch marks and looks like it's about to fall apart.
One of the figures, the one who doesn't really look like he's paying attention to the other, leaned against the wall, arms crossed, looking every bit like an uninterested bruiser, although there's definitely a very obvious scorch mark on the cape, made even more obvious whenever the wind picks up just enough to make the red cape flutter in the wind.
The woman stretches out her remarkably long limbs before she finally pipes up: ]
Y'know, I figure there's kinda some truth t'that whole "opposites" thing. Not sayin' with the whole attraction bit, 'cause y'could be a horse under that bag and I wouldn't know any better, but we make a pretty good team. [ Obviously, she has no issue with the fact that her companion is probably not actually listening to her much. ] Y'might be an asshole, but y'sure can fight crime. Don't let anyone tell y'that y'need t'be registered t'be any good 'round here.
[ HJ just turns his head to look at her, that whole black hood tipping only slightly, as if he hadn't actually been paying attention to her, eyes narrowing, caught by the camera while he took a moment to figure out what she was getting at. ]
Of course you don't. [ That was blunt, wasn't it? His voice clearly says that HJ is actually in a "talkative" mood. ] It's a lie they're perpetuating. That only ones that agree are worthwhile to them. The moment you do not is the moment they consider you more criminal than hero, despite what we do. Like most governments, there is something fundamentally wrong with that way of thinking. Not that they are willing to listen.
Their loss. [ She shrugs, exhaling lightly. ] I bet we could take on just about anythin'.
[ His hood tilted, as if that wasn't even a question. Arms adjusted over his chest. ] Perhaps. Most do not expect to find opposition until it's too late.
Too bad for them, eh? [ She nudges HJ in the ribs with her elbow. ] Y'think we should come up with a name for our dynamic duo? Diamond Justice? Just Diamonds? [ She quirks a grin, obviously making fun of him. Then glancing at the camera: ] I'm takin' votes an' suggestions.

[ a pause. ]
Long time, no see though, eh?
no subject
... Yeah, it's been a while. Sorry, I guess I ain't the best at keeping in touch. How are you holding up?

Y'know I'm livin' with Mitch now?
no subject
[ It's lightly teasing, but under that, he means more than just the bodyguarding, but generally making sure Mitch doesn't sabotage himself. ]
You could survive a lot of things, Lil. [ It's not quite an invitation to get into more explicit detail, but it's there. ]

Yeah, he's good at that. Don't let him get away with telling you he's okay all the time, though. Just because he can keep going doesn't mean he shouldn't have time to relax.

[ a little pause ]
Y'wanna come over an' visit sometime?
no subject
[ He pauses. ]
Like you said, long time, no see. I'd like that.
