001 [video - voice]

[A video image clicks on, revealing a broad, churlish looking man, in his late 40s but looks like he's in his 50s. His face is world-weary, haggard, with heavy-set wrinkles on his brow. His dark hair is flecked with grey, as is his beard. There's an angry concern in his hard eyes and his jaw is clenched tight. He looks like a man one wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of.]

--goddamn it.

[The video image switches off. That wasn't what he'd wanted to do. A second later, a voice feed starts instead, and there's a momentary pause as Joel examines the device to ascertain it is actually on. He was no stranger to technology similar to this before the outbreak but that was over twenty years ago. Reacquainting himself with technology like this, even after he was shown the ropes by that asshole soldier who escorted him from the lab, is foreign as hell after years of having to live with hardly any technology at all.]

Alright, look-- [A brief shuffling sound of him handling the device, switching it from one hand to the other. When he speaks, it's with a strong Texan accent, his voice gruff and hard.] I got no idea who's listenin' to this but I'm gettin' real sick of this bullshit. Just gonna cut straight to the chase:

First off, I'm lookin' for someone. A girl. 'Bout fourteen years-old. Red-brown hair, freckles, green eyes, scar on her right eyebrow. It's real important I find her. If you've seen a girl who matches this description, tell her Joel is lookin' for her.

Secondly, if the girl I'm lookin' for is here and I find out anyone has so much as touched a single hair on her head, I won't hesitate to hunt you down and pop your goddamn kneecaps off. I ain't messin' around here.

And lastly-- [another pause] I need, uh, need someone to point me towards a place where I can get my hands on some clothes.

[Because the clothes he's wearing right now? Are torn at the seams and shredded. Just in the last hour, he's transformed into a fucking giant bear twice without seeming to have any control over it and his clothes, the only clothes he's got, are now more or less destroyed.

And another pause, filled with the sound of a quiet, preoccupied sigh and the shuffling noise of the device being handled as he switches back to the other hand. Screw it, he'll just address Ellie directly. If she's here, if she's listening, he knows she won't hesitate to contact him. Jesus, he hopes she's alright.]


If you are here, kiddo… just lemme know, alright?

[The voice feeds ends.]

Don't worry. Like all good saviors, I do a little pruning now and then.

A manhunt, something of the sort. That sort of thing is enormously rare.
highhealplz: it was a one hit self-KO (grin | she shield reflected asura at him)

Don't worry, you're off the hook. I haven't seen any of that around here.

What about your world, though? You have some priests, it sounds like, right?
darkspider: (fuck keywords!)

Some asshole decided that he'd do that.

[But werewolves in general are frustrating and annoying.]
highhealplz: when will i learn my lesson (angst | shouldn't have upgraded past +7)

[personal profile] highhealplz 2014-06-17 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, I see. [ there goes his until-now permanent cheery smile ] That sounds like a pretty bad world, then. Mind if I ask for a little more detail?

That's the sick part, right? [ Dryly: ] I'm just a little girl.

I don't think you have much of a choice. They're insistent on staying rather close to us.
darkspider: (who needs multiple words?)

You got pulled into a weird fucking world and given superpowers, and that's what you're stuck on? They exist.

[Of course, he knew before hand.]

I'm Balthazar. I said that didn't I? Oh well...

And if it's really that much of a risk don't trouble yourself.

Just... keep your and Ellie's head down if someone named Lucifer pops up hmm?
celestialpervert: (If you insist)

Oh the usual to be expected from the Morningstar. Murder, mayhem and complete disregard for human life.

In other words; Yes, that one.
celestialpervert: (it will never stop/bitch)

Must be a rather rough slice of living.

[A laugh, amused.]

Yes. As in.

Ask after his name. He's known in these parts, maybe not as what he is, so many skeptics... But as a murderer yes.

celestialpervert: (you're an idiot aren't you?)

That bad, hmm? What kind? I've seen my fair share of apocalypses.

Well locked up but yes. That's the trouble with family.
