⚛ 02: why this edition; video

Who: Hank and you!
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: The Blameless
When: now!

[when the feed flips on, it focuses on a crate on the smaller side, but clearly yet another sponsor drop. Only this time, it appears to be full of brushes, of all shapes and colors and sizes. There's also a note attached on top:

"Because normal brushes are just infuriating. Keep that blue fur shiny with these purrfect alternatives!"

there's a heavy sigh from behind the camera and a mutter, just audible enough to be picked up by the microphone]

Someone thinks they're being funny.

[another sigh, and the camera turns around, focusing on a woman's face. Reluctantly, it seems, because she looks incredibly awkward and uncomfortable]

Anyway - I know some people have pets on the fleet, so if you'd like a brush for their fur, feel free to come over to the Blameless and pick one up. I certainly won't be keeping them.

[she goes to turn the feed off, then pauses]

Also, Winn? This is your fault. Get over here so I can blame you properly.

[and with that, the feed disconnects]
complicatedliar: (I might be mad)

Care to make that a wager?
athru: (punch like a champion)

[ Quiet, at first, because, hey, background. ]

Your lady?

[ Oooh, boy, here we go. She takes Hank's device, frowning straight away. ]

Who's the asshole, then?
complicatedliar: (fabulous)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-08-15 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, but this is fun.

He tilts his head in something that gives the impression of a genteel bow.]


Loki, son of Frigga. I don't believe we've met.
athru: (step by step)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-15 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
No. We haven't.

[ And she's not currently impressed, either. Someone that's irritated Hank this much probably isn't going to be her new BFF. ]

What do you want?
complicatedliar: (no light)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-08-15 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He props his chin in his hand. Oh well. He'll find out a name later. He has ways.]

Merely giving Hank a bit of advice. I spent a bit of time as a woman and the experience did wonders for my technique as a lover later on. I think I've rather shocked him.
athru: (and trouble haunts my mind)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-15 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... No wonder Hank gave her the phone. ]

Maybe. But there's no need - Hank's technique is already amazing, thank you.
complicatedliar: (totally not up to something)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-08-15 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
With all due respect, lady, there is no such thing as perfection. One never stops learning. [His lips twitch.] I would ask my own lady for a testimonial to the fact, but she might fling a shoe at my head.
athru: (but i'm invincible)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-15 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
So you decide to risk getting something worse thrown at you by me?

[ He might smile and act sweet, but Raven's having none of it. ]

What we do together is none of your business, so I'd go back to working on your 'technique' with your lady before something bad happens.

[ She turns to Hank to say, quietly, I didn't know hands could talk, you know... ]
complicatedliar: (i love it when you threaten me)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-08-15 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Mildly:] I don't particularly care, actually. Her good opinion has meaning. Anyone else's? [Shrug.]

But I do think it very funny when people threaten me.
athru: (it's just another night)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-15 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a threat, it's retaliation. [ She shakes her head. ] If her opinion is the only one that matters to you, then you should realise that mine is the only one that matters to Hank. So leave him alone.
complicatedliar: (smile like a blade)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-08-15 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
The intimation that something bad will happen if I don't do as you like is a threat, no matter how you like to dress it up. [Another little shrug.] It's all right. I certainly don't mind.

[His smile broadens at the order to leave Hank alone.] No.
athru: (i'd sing to you)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-15 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ What the hell is going on. ]

It's still retaliation. I've always fought back against bullies, I don't see any reason to stop now.

[ She shrugs a shoulder. ]

Then I can just hang up. Say goodbye.
complicatedliar: (i don't care what you think)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-08-15 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
What is that human saying... oh yes. Potato, po-tah-to.

Do let Hank know I'll be by to fetch my brush.
athru: (black clouds are behind me)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-15 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not human, doesn't matter.

[ And she hangs up. ]
