002- Video

[orions_shadow]

The camera comes into focus, Shadow is laying on a bed in one of the bedrooms of a house in De Chima, #006 to be precise. The room behind him is basic, unused, and only the default linens and furniture. His puppy his nestled up next to him as he lays on his belly. He looks into the camera.]

So... Bet everyone's excited to talk about their feelin' and what went on over the weekend.

Nobody should be surprised that it happened, much less that there's a shit storm of blame bein' flung everywhere. Call me pessimistic but I don't foresee any justice for the victims or us imports.

[His nose creases and he sighs, bowing his head a bit and hunching his shoulders.]

I just don't have anything else t'say on it. It sucks. Just try t'move on soon or you'll just stay there and let your mind rot. Find something to do, find somethin' to do it with, just don't sit at home and brood over it' cos... lets face it, superheroes got enough angst as it is.

So... uh.

[Yeah, what now? The whole reason he was making this?]

I need a permanent place to live. Not lookin' for much, just someplace safe for this pup and me that's got running water and a roof over our heads. A yard maybe.

Prefer it if people I know already get in touch with me first, cos' I'm not too eager to get stuck with the people who left my place the way it was.

[He switches the feet to a quick slide show of the demon warding and other arcane looking symbols found currently in Heropa #0039. Followed by a birds eye view of a dug out pit in the back yard.]

Like a couple of Hellions showed up and started some hell ritual or something. Guess where I found this pup? In the pit. Dug herself right in.

[He shrugs a little to that effect]

It's not that big a' deal but I see that kinda magic and I run. Not to be messed with.

While we're on the topic... Any of you guys, check in if you're not dead, will ya?

[He scratches his neck, then his cheek as he turns his head to think of what else to say.]

That's about it. Yeah.
Oh...

Side note. Been told I need to watch 'The Lion King.'

I did that. Half of it. Didn't like it.

I'll take better movie suggestions though. It'll help kill some time.

Later.

[He reaches to the feed camera, and click!]

[Winry looks fine, unless you stare into her eyes. Which aren't fine. Everything else has been taken care of by healing.]

Hi Shadow.

[She's not sure what to say about the rest of his post. Not yet at least.]

That's a cute puppy.

[orions_shadow]

Hi Winry.

She is. The cutest.

[He looks drained himself, both mentally and physically. The comm is propped up, allowing Shad to lie around like the lazy cat he was.]

[hands4healing]

[Lazing around sounds good.]

What's her name?

[Video]

[orions_shadow]

Still on the fence about that.

Haven't really looked any up.

[Video]

[hands4healing]

I didn't get to name Zoey. It's okay, I'm bad at naming animals.

[Video]

[orions_shadow]

I usually just name them after food.

All the cats back home were named after cereal.

Except Artemis.

[Video]

[hands4healing]

Food?

Hmmm. Bagel?

[She almost didn't respond, hasn't felt like being on the network, didn't want to hear anybody call her out on what happened. Still feels out of it and scared and the hospital hasn't stopped sedating her since she woke up. But she remembers him talking about how weird and lonely his house was and...

No one should be alone.]

There's empty rooms at my place. Don't know about permanent, but you can crash there awhile.

[Constant sedation was probably the reason why Mewtwo didn't bring him to the hospital. Not that he needed it. He just needed a day to recover physically.]

Where is it?

and how are you? okay?

[Her texts are painfully slow.]

If he even asks.

You can't seriously not like the Lion King? [That's just not possible.]

video

[orions_shadow]

They killed my favorite character.

Not a fan.

[He actually pouts at that. He totally rage quit the movie, Gar.]

video

[animalage]

That doesn't mean it's not a good movie! You've gotta finish it.

video

[orions_shadow]

I didn't say it wasn't?

Just didn't like it.

[Maaan it's depressing!]

Aren't there any other lion movies out there?

video

[animalage]

I can't believe... [HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE A DISNEY CLASSIC?]

That's pretty much the only lion movies out there worth watching.

Re: video

[orions_shadow]

[BECAUSE MUFASA IS BEST DAD. Also happens to look like his other half but that one's a long story.]

It's not like there's a market for lions anyway.

But there's gotta be other movies were the best character doesn't die.

[logicunlocked]

There's a special place in hell for someone who'd hurt a dog. And I thought those guys were pieces of shit before.

As far as the movie—there's nothing like some classic Disney but I like something with some more action. Ever seen the Terminator series?

Video

[orions_shadow]

You know who they are?

[At the movie remark, he shakes his head]

We had a TV but we didn't watch it, and we never watched movies. Just the weather channel. So I never saw any movie, ever.

Video

[logicunlocked]

If they're who I think you're talking about. It's complicated shit— Sorry, complicated stuff. Anyway I think they're trouble.

And the Terminator series is awesome, I bet you'd love it. Assuming this version of Earth has them, I don't know. Where I'm from they rebooted the series a couple of times, really dug into the real meat of the story, but the originals were made in the twentieth century.

Video

[orions_shadow]

Haha. I've heard worse swears than that! I grew up in pirate country, mate.

But if you say so. You think they're cultists?

[That's what he had been thinking all this time. Reasonable assumption.]

I'll Look for em. What else is there?

Video

[logicunlocked]

Yeah, some kind of cult. They tied some guy up and put him in a warehouse. Guy was lucky I was checking things out instead of attending the ceremonies.

What movies? Man, if you've never watched anything you have to catch up on all the cult classics. Let me think...twenty-first century was a long time ago for me so I have to think about what there would be. Ever heard of...let's see, Star Wars? Indiana Jones?

[orions_shadow]

Guess I made the right call in leaving, couple of satanic mob mooks.

Vaguely? I've heard people make references to them.

Something about the force and living long and prospering?
