[The video opens on a view of Hook, Line, & Tinker. Or, more accurately, what's left of it. That phrase "looks like a tornado went through it"? Yeah. Instead of just being messy and dirty, it looks like an actual tornado went through it. Glass everywhere, walls are barely standing, sales racks are toppled. A lone shirt with a halo-wearing winking fish that says THERE'S AN ANGLER WATCHING OVER ME is in easy view from atop a rack of equally awful shirts that is now a pile on the floor. Why is the register next to it? Because of course it is. The sign in the back corner that says WRIGGLE ROOM is hanging on for dear life. It's trying so hard.

And then there's Will in the middle of it all, tanner and shaggier than usual. Also sporting a dark blue shirt with a koala basically in Mad Max get up declaring something about I FELT THE THUNDER DOWN UNDER. With arms wide open, he looks around, face softly but with a lot of feeling expressing "what the actual fuck."]

Did the Russians make a return?

[The WRIGGLE ROOM sign tried so hard and got so far but in the end it fell to the floor, loudly, with the rest of a once presentable business. Will looks over his shoulder, mumbles a figures, and then reaches to cut the feed off.]

[ooc. this is in reaction to werewolves vs vampires]

This means war.

[infomodder]

[There is now drywall in his hair.]

You gonna lead the troops in this war?

[aggressiveapathy]

It's the reason I was born. Defending the family honor.

[slightlyoffchilt]

What on earth.

voice;

[infomodder]

S'what I'm trying to figure out. It wasn't like this when I left.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

Seems more personal that a random Soviet attack, doesn't it?

voice;

[wizzardly]

...Neither I nor the Luggage are responsible. I know no one is blaming me, but I just want to put it out there.

[aggressiveapathy]

That's what a guilty guy would say.

[wizzardly]

Not this one. I'm not him, I mean. ...You know what I mean.

Er, but. Welcome back?

[textualhealing]

[What the actual fuck?...]

You sure it wasn't like that before you left...?

[infomodder]

Very sure.

[glowsferatu]

[ There's a setup for a joke in there, but Kanaya isn't the one to make it. If she were more Russian, she might. Instead, she just looks a little embarrassed. ]

Yeah, uh. Sorry about that?

video.

[infomodder]

[His hair is now dusted with drywall and even with that addition he's still staring at Kanaya like he's not sure he's awake.]

You...what?

[brushoff]

[ Dorian can't help but be a little bit scandalized. ]

Good Lord.

[infomodder]

[Hey buddy.]

Nice summary.

voice;

[unwiseheart]

[ Yeah, no video. The backdrop would only be prison cell chic, anyhow. About the bait shop, Nicolas actually is sorry, and so-- ]

Mr. Graham. About the shop. That's, um, that was mostly my fault. I am very sorry it got caught up in what happened.

[ Although he's going to feel a lot less guilty about it if and when he finds out what else Will's been up to, but until then! Sorry. So, so sorry. ]

voice;

[infomodder]

[There's no real anger on Will's end. He's still a bit too confused for that. So, calmly:]

It's still standing, it's salvageable. [Slowly, too, because this was not the voice he expected at all.] What happened?

video

[huntergames]

[ If Sasha were the type to use profanities, her reaction would be "Holy shit!" right now ]

Oh no...

Can it be fixed, Will?

video

[infomodder]

[Oh dear. Maybe if Will doesn't seem too bothered she won't be, either. Cue the half-assed shrug to help with that because, really, he was more concerned by what had happened than the process after.]

With some time and elbow grease, yes. It's not past saving at all. Just looks bad.

video.

[tardily]

[ What. The. Fuck. ]

Holy shit. [ Barry doesn't normally swear like that, but honestly is there any other response to that level of destruction than "holy shit" ] I don't think they did? But— if they did I'm wondering how they weaponized a tornado.

video.

[infomodder]

[Wow, Barry, language! There are CHILDREN. In the world, somewhere, who might hear this.]

Hah. My first thought, too. But it's probably inevitable. We do have a lot of eventfulness at any given time.

[takethestairs]

[Later on, he'll dig through the rest of the comments. Later on, he'll notice the conversations with Kanaya and Nicolas. Later on, there may or may not be swearing that may or may not be directed at the nation's supernatural community, that may or may not be a repeat of past petty tantrums. But for now, he's going to take a deep breath, and turn on his camera to address Will.]

Has anyone been hurt? Or were your walls the only casualty here?

video;

[infomodder]

[Don't sweat it, Miles. This is the second time a werewolf has destroyed Will's shit and that's really how things should be. He loves dogs, after all. Find what you love and let it destroy your stuff!]

Nobody got hurt, as far as I know. Nobody outside the situation was here when it happened.

video

[khajidont]

Will? What happened?

...I guess you don't actually know the answer to that question. Geez, though, I'm sorry. That place is like a landmark by now.

[Well, not really. It's only been around for a year or so, but to Jaime, it may as well be a longstanding institution, providing a welcome haven from the world through free cans of pop, dogs, and terrible puns. Three of his favourite things!

Oh, and Will.]

video

[infomodder]

Is it?

[Oh no, Jaime made him smile like an idiot. Look at that joy. It's disgusting.]

It'll still be around. Just gotta fix it up.
