[Guess who looks incredibly unimpressed with everything?

If you guessed Kara, you're right! But she's still using video because she wants to prove that she's absolutely fine and not at all troubled by the past few days.]

Hey. I wanna know if anyone actually get hold of the assholes who kidnapped us, and if you did, why haven't you let me had my turn with 'em?

[She wants to know if she can beat the shit out of someone. That would make her feel better.]

And has anyone ever actually asked the government for a power, instead of just accepting whatever random shit they gave you? Thinking about getting a little something extra.

[After seeing people being able to summon weaponry, she wants to do something like that. But she figured she might see if anyone has experience before going to the government.

As much as she's a little loathe to do it, there's one more thing she should say:]

Anyway. [ugh] Thanks to everyone who came looking.

[She'll leave it there, just a little awkwardly, turning off the video without another word.]

You, my dear girl are a worry.

And sadly no sight nor sound of the bastards. [Oh look who it is. Had he been worried? Maybe.]

perma that

[valr]

Sorry, would've sent you a postcard but the gift shop was closed.

[She's just... gonna pretend she doesn't realize he was actually worried. Good plan.]

Do we at least know what they wanted?

[celestialpervert]

Nothing that I've heard so far. But if they turn up again there will be words.

Really, are you alright?

[valr]

Those fucking assholes took away what I am.

[She doesn't think a human would understand what she means, but Balthazar is older than she is, he'll get it.

Her powers aren't just something fancy she can do, they're what she is.]

They left me strong when it was useful, then took it away and let me bleed out in a fucking motel.

[celestialpervert]

[He flicks to private, eyes narrowing, his usually jovial face hardening.]

They did what?

[Of course he understood. As an angel he was his grace, that which filled his vessel and allowed him to do the things he could. The thought of something taking that away, his hand clenched so hard it shattered the glass in hand and he swore.]

So in other words, no.

Heavenly Father, how could they have managed that?

[His brings his gaze back to her.]

Is there anything I can do?

[Busy for several days peddling meth between Pennsylvania and Heropa, Joel hasn't exactly been in the loop about all of this. There's a frown forming on his face as he watches Kara's video feed.]

Kidnapped? What the hell happened?

samsies

[valr]

On our way back from the camp a bunch of assholes hijacked the buses and took us to some underground facility so we could fight shit for their entertainment.

[A nice quick summary right there.]

[shittybirthday]

Jesus. You and who else?

[valr]

Bunch of civilians and most of us imPorts who went to the camp. Think there was a list floating around somewhere. Too many kids either way.

[Even the ones that could handle themselves, like the Survey Corps kids she worked alongside. There were still too many damn kids.]

[shittybirthday]

[Kids. Christ. Good god damn thing Ellie showed no interest in going to the camp. Not that Joel would have agreed to it even if she'd wanted to but, still.]

Who were these assholes?

It doesn't look like they're big on taking requests here.

[valr]

Figure I might be able to convince them it'll make me a better littlle hero for them.

[altercate]

Why would you want to?

[valr]

So I can get a little more power.

[Not much; she doesn't need heat vision or to be indestructible; she just wants her damn weapons when she needs them.]

[altercate]

Being indebted to them isn't worth whatever they could give you. If they'll even given you anything.

[vaccination]

Shit. You okay?

[valr]

All good, just a little pissed off.

["a little"]

You miss me?

[kara u nerd]

[vaccination]

Just glad to hear you're in one piece. [An angry piece, but one piece all the same.]

[valr]

Pretty sure most of us are. It'd be kinda impressive if it wasn't so pathetic we got taken in the first place.

[kara please chill out]

You usually have to have something of value for the government to give you anything.

[and then they drive you crazy

it's great]

[valr]

Is being willing to kill Soviets without asking any questions something of value?

[Not that she would. probably. but she can say she will.]

[infomodder]

Probably depends on how good you are at killing and keeping your mouth shut about it.

[he can't judge]

[valr]

[Look okay she'll say a lot of things on the network but there are kids floating around and. stuff.]

Was doing it for a living back home.

[sort of]

[falsesmile]

If any of us found one, they're keeping quiet.

permaaaa

[valr]

Hope that means they didn't find any, not that they're keeping 'em to themselves.
