video | after the Hotel Rescue Shenanigans

[rideme]

[It's evening, as evidenced by the general dim light in the room. The living room of Nonah #5 has been the scene of a lot of mayhem, and now doesn't seem to be any different.]

[There's a cut on the Iron Bull's face, and he's holding himself with the care of someone who knows damn well he's hurt something important and doesn't want to make any sudden motions. There may also be glass stuck in one of his horns. More small abrasions decorate his torso. Looks like the aftermath of Motorcycle vs. The Iron Bull didn't end well for anyone.]

[As he records, he's moving gingerly across the house to deposit one (1) unconscious lump of teenager -- namely the Problem Child Tetsuo himself -- into a room. Probably his own room. Only after that's done, does Bull address the camera.]

Hey. Got a message for you, network.

[One might say he forgot it was on, but it's also more likely this was purposeful. Demonstrating the kid is in hand, put somewhere safe and no longer charging through the streets.]

Dear Whoever the Fuck Made Tetsuo's Bike,

You should have made it Bull-Proof.

[It's at this point, he holds up a certain finger on the hand still possessing all of its fingers. Wow, Bull, stay classy. He's about to turn the feed off when someone else pipes in, from somewhere else in the house--]

And would someone come heal my big, dumb boyfriend! Please?

[THANKS CHARLIE. Bull makes a sudden face, and hurries to mash the OFF button.]

[ Well, he hadn't expected THAT after they went and saved a bunch of people. Hm, looks like he's going to have to look at these people more closely if they're willing to try and pry Tetsuo from his clutches.

No matter, Tetsuo's already wrapped around his finger enough. He just needs patience. For now, he's going to air on the side of caution and sound more or less shocked and concerned. Not responding at all could be disastrous later and doing so now does have it's risks.

But Peter likes to take a challenge when he can. ]

That seems to be a bit much to drag someone back to your house, sir. You could've seriously injured him or worse. Is he all right?

[rideme]

[Wellp. Not someone he recognizes. Time for a little of what Joker taught him -- namely, recording. Just in case.]

[... they'll have a lot of recordings to go through after this post wraps up, he has a feeling. Better safe, and record everyone unfamiliar, than not.]

He's in one piece.

voice

[dreamshades]

[ And All Peter's going to do is look pretty as a picture. He may not know he's being recorded but he's going to try and be as friendly as possible.

Peter breathes something of a sigh of relief and he is. Can't let Tetsuo expire just yet. ]

Well, that's something at least, but whatever made you do something like that? Seems rather over the top.

voice

[rideme]

It was necessary.

I don't do crap by halves.

voice

[dreamshades]

I see. He must've been doing something you disapproved of if that's the case. [ Words chosen carefully. After all, if Tetsuo suddenly awoke and saw Peter talking he wants to be sure there's enough wiggle room to stave the boy's anger. ]

voice

[rideme]

[Yeah, that conversation down there with Charlie is going on the record too.]

He might have.

[Let's see how much this one digs.]

voice

[dreamshades]

[ Not too much. Far too suspicious. ]

I see. Well, hopefully you're not too hard on him, he seems to have suffered enough, sir.

voice

[rideme]

Nice to see the 'concerned bystanders' coming out of the woodwork.

Would've been nicer when he was on the rampage. But hey. Guess you all just like watching 'train wrecks', instead of getting your hands dirty.

voice

[dreamshades]

I was preoccupied with other matters. Rescuing the citizens and other imPorts trapped in the hotel for one. However, I didn't even hear about this rampage you were speaking of.

voice

[rideme]

You must've been really busy then. I'm impressed.

Does that mean we're going to be hearing your name broadcast as a hero or some crap then?

voice

[dreamshades]

I beg your pardon? [ Now he's offended, sounding taken aback a bit at the words. Really, how rude. Still, he's already got a feeling Bull suspects him.

Hmph. No matter. There are ways around that. ]

voice

[animated]

It's a long and complicated story. He's a little beat up, but otherwise fine.

Perhaps enlightening us? Violence over some sort of...I'm sorry-bike it's called?- Seems fairly drastic without details.

[ How do u know it's drastic if u don't even know what a bike is bro ]

I guess it could seem that way, without the full story. Are you a friend of Tetsuo's?

permafiltered/permavoice

[dreamshades]

[ Hm, tricky. He can't say no. Sabriel's on here and they were there at the hotel together. If charlie so much as mentions it out loud to anyone he's putting himself in an awkward position. A half truth will have to suffice. ]

We're acquainted. We were both there at the hotel together. Other than that I can't say I know him well.

[ His words soon are soon apologetic. ]

Sorry, perhaps I shouldn't have asked.

[animated]

No, it's all right. I can understand the cause for concern. A lot of things have happened in the last month, and it is somewhat complicated, but he's not in too much trouble.

[dreamshades]

[ Calm and polite he replies. ]

Yes, between hostages, the aftermath of Crane's plot, it has been an ordeal for both imPort and the denizens of this land. Still, I'm glad to know he will be all right.

[animated]

Of course. I can tell him you were asking after him, if you'd like.

[dreamshades]

[ Now Charlie has presented Peter with a very interesting scenario. Taking the offer puts power of Peter's words in this man's hand and clearly not something Peter wishes to do. However, outright denying it could also put him in a compromising situation. Hm, now how to play this. ]

I don't believe he'd be very receptive to words with the current state he's in.

[animated]

Probably not, but it might not hurt to know he at least had a friend looking out for him.

[dreamshades]

I suppose not, but like I said I'm merely an acquaintance. Would he not find that strange?

[rideme]

[At some point, he'll lean over on the couch and say, privately:]

Something about this one rubs me all kinds of wrong. Nosier than the others.

I have a bad feeling.

action;

[animated]

Yeah, he's weirding me out, too. You up for a little good cop, bad cop?

action;

[rideme]

Yeah, always, but now's not really the time to break out the handcuffs.

[BULL.]

action;

[animated]

[ BULL. ]

Okay, not what I meant, and not while your injured.

I mean you keep antagonizing him and I'll be nice. Either we totally throw him off or at the very least he thinks one of us is a gullible sap.
