‡3rd Treasure‡ Accidental Video

[The feed clicks on to reveal Koltira and Chloe in some dark, nondescript alleyway. Chloe's muttering about how she doesn't have a choice, struggling weakly, her eyes unfocused. Koltira speaks to her in soothing tones--or about as soothing as his tone gets, at any rate--telling her to calm down, to see reason, et cetera. He has one arm looped around her waist, and the other holds both of her wrists still; the grip is clearly firm but gentle, meant to pacify, not to harm.

After a moment, Koltira notices that Chloe's dropped tablet is on and recording. He addresses it, his tone markedly more agitated than just a moment ago.]

Chloe is out of her mind. I know not why, but she had her own gun to her mouth.

[There's a short delay before Chloe speaks up, her voice unsteady and tired. It's a pale attempt at lying, but it goes without saying that she's embarrassed once she realizes the feed's running, so she makes it regardless.]

Seriously, mate, I'm fine. Ease up.

Once, yeah. It...[There's a half smile as she thinks on it.] it was nice, actually.

[kneecaptain]

…Guess that wasn't what I was expecting.

[totallytrustworthy]

Adventure, the wilds, a little shooting and some treasure? My kind of scene, to be honest.

It's this place that's stifling.

[kneecaptain]

They don't make you fight? 'Cause that can turn sticky fast.

[totallytrustworthy]

Oh sure, but it's not really much of a challenge. Not against 18th century weaponry at least, and certainly not when you're used to staring down an AK or mag 5.

[kneecaptain]

You're— what?

[He hasn't really processed the time travel thing. To much other bullshit!]

[totallytrustworthy]

--you mean you hadn't heard?

Oh god, love. They toss us back in time for these things.

[kneecaptain]

[Eh, now that he's thinking about it doesn't seem so weird.]

But this is supposed to be, what, thirty-thirteen? Real Captain Future stuff.

[There's a little chuckle for that remark. If not for Charlie's incessant nerdery, she might've missed the reference entirely. As it stands she at least knows the name, so there's that.]

Something like that, love. It's not always bad, but the worst of it is a bit much, and I'm starting to wonder if it's a downhill slope.

[kneecaptain]

I haven't seen any flying cars, that's for sure.

[totallytrustworthy]

Afraid we're in too poor a state for that sort of technology. Might try asking one of our enemies for one, though. I hear they're pretty well stocked.

[kneecaptain]

Nah, they get old pretty quick. If I'm getting off this island, I'm not doing it to steal a car.

Always liked bikes better, anyway.

[totallytrustworthy]

Spent half my life in a car. I'll take the one you pass up, in that case.

Still, can't say I mind a good bike ride when the mood strikes.

[kneecaptain]

I mean a bike like a motorcycle. [Not like one that doesn't go fast.]

[totallytrustworthy]

[She chuckles lightly.] As did I, love.

To tell you the truth, I've only ridden a bicycle twice in my life. Bit too slow for my taste.

[kneecaptain]

You could always stick a motor on it, I guess.
