01 ♥ Video

[It's hard to type with little stone fingers, so he's trying to use the voice function for the first time.

Too bad he accidentally activates the video option instead. And also makes this public. Oops.

The communicator shakes, and though the image isn't entirely clear, anyone watching can see couple of dark sockets with glowing pupils and what appears to be a skull with ornate carvings and distinctive hair. Sunlight spills through what seem to be leaves in the background, and it's obvious the person on the screen is crouched down somewhere, trying to hide. He's not looking directly into the camera.]


Hey. Joaquin. It's me, Manolo. So, uhhh...[How do you even put this.]

Funny story! You know how I said my powers were music-based? That's actually half of what I can do. I can also do something else. I think it keeps me from dying, which as far as powers go? Not a bad one, if I do say so myself! [Because he's already dead in this form, but like hell he's going to say that, hah hah hahhh.....

Maybe if he sounds upbeat enough he can bullshit his way through this.]


The only downside is that people shouldn't see me. Don't ask why, it's just...a power thing, you know? So maybe you could come down here with, like, a...sheet? Just toss it in my general direction, and we'll be good to go. Everyone will think I am dressed as a ghost. Perfect disguise, yes?

[He is grinning really hard and hoping all this optimism and false confidence will be enough. But then he notices something and now he's looking at the communicator like it just ran him through with a sword.]

Oh no...

[Oh yes. And now everyone can see exactly what this power actually is. Good job, Manny!]

I was gonna point out that the whole freakin' network could see you, but looks like you figured it out.

Good job.

[No. No no nonononoNO!!

This is not something Joaquin wants to ever see. Why... Why does this have to happen to Manolo? Why???

It's a few minutes before Joaquin can respond. When he does it's only through a voice message and his words come out gruff.]


Stay where you are. I, I'll find you.

[ Nico's powers may be malfunctioning, but he's still a son of Hades. And he still gets massive skeleton pings. ]

... The network is a pain to use.

Probably not. Got a whole lotta people crammed in here who don't have this kinda tech wherever they come from.

But this instance has got a special kinda irony.

[ He tilts his head slightly... ]

Are people afraid of you?

WOWIE!!!!!

YOU SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS EARLIER!!! I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE OTHER SKELETONS AROUND!
htespagheti: (skeletons are rude in general)

oops 2/2

AND WITH SUCH NICE HAIR...

[Hard to compete with that.]

[Joaquin doesn't respond this time. Instead, he does exactly as he's told, stopping by the apartment to strip the sheet off his bed before doing his best to rush to the hospital. It still takes him the good part of 40 some minutes before he can make it despite his frantic pace. There were a lot of blocks to run.

When he does get to the hospital Joaquin isn't sure where to go from there. He stares around breathless, then finally gives up and begins to call out.]


Manolo! Manolo, I'm here!

Yup.

Guessin' the whole... skeleton thing would be why.
abandon_hope: (seance)

[personal profile] abandon_hope 2015-10-24 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Little bit. Probably.

What's your name? ... are you looking for rest?

Betcha these people have seen weirder. [ says the talking raccoon ] But I don't blame you for lyin' low.

[ A beat ] Now that you got the video going, you don't know how to turn it off, do ya?
htespagheti: (skeletons love staying intact)

[personal profile] htespagheti 2015-10-24 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
OH NO! YOU DON'T NEED TO BE EMBARRASSED! BECAUSE BEING A SKELETON IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO BE!

FOR EXAMPLE! YOU DON'T GET COLD! ALSO! YOU DON'T GET TOO WARM! TEMPERATURE-WISE YOU'RE SET FOR LIFE.

THERE'S MORE!!!! YOU CAN EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT AND IT WON'T EVER STICK TO YOUR THIGHS!

SEE? THERE ARE NO NEGATIVES! IT'S ALL UPSIDES!!!!
abandon_hope: (getting thinner)

[personal profile] abandon_hope 2015-10-24 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Another skeleton?
htespagheti: (drinking milk would make them stronger)

[personal profile] htespagheti 2015-10-24 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
YES!!!! OH MY GOD, I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! YOU COULD MAKE FRIENDS WITH ALL THE FISH! THIS OPENS UP SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!

YOU'RE A NATURAL!


[Your skeleton skills are impressive, Manolo.]
