[The video clicks on and shows the pale features of a young man that some might recognize as the warrior who was springing around in the warehouse. He's not as mute as he was pretending to be.]

Look, I'm flattered you invited me to join the party and all but you've got the wrong guy.

I'm no soldier.

Don't take orders well. Never did.

So how'bout you just send me back to my old crib, huh?

[He gestures into the camera with his off hand, which is holding an oversized white handgun.]

Do that? And I won't even charge ya for the work I've done so far.

Scout's honor.

Good luck with that. I'm pretty sure the Initiative or whoever isn't listening.

[ringthenoise]

Well, that's just rude.

I was kinda in the middle of something back home....

[needsteaplz]

I hate to break it to you, but the Initiative tends to fall on deaf ears when it comes to sending us back on our terms. It's always when you least expect it.

Video

[ringthenoise]

Sounds like the Initiative could learn some manners.

I don't really like the idea of being in the army. Not my thing.

VIDEO.

[badnewsboy]

You've found your tongue! Great! I was beginning to get a little worried. It would be awfully inconvenient if you lost it, don't you think?

Ah, right, business.

[welcome to the wobbliest camera ever.]

It's not much I like the sound of, either. Perhaps other arrangements may be put into place.

[He sits back]

Arrangements?

[acemedium]

Wow! You can talk after all!

voice;

[ringthenoise]

Never said I couldn't.

[bloodthirsts]

I wish it were that easy.

Good to hear you talking.

[ringthenoise]

Those are some moves you have there, babe.

[givetheslip]

Do you really expect such a plea to work?

video;

[ringthenoise]

Nope.

[small_berserker]

Oh, I'm very sorry, sir, but we don't get a choice in when we go home from what I understand. I'd actually like to stay here instead of going home.

[Video]

[ringthenoise]

If you wanna stay on the moon then go ahead, kid.

Me? I'd rather find a way back home. I've got some unfinished business there.

[irritating]

Kinda get the feelin' they ain't concerned about pickin' up people who don't usually take orders 'cause hey I'm here too and I ain't exactly uh, patriotic.

I do like your girlfriend there though, she's a cutie. [ She's... talking about his handgun, whether it's obvious or not. ]

video

[ringthenoise]

[It takes him a moment to get what she's referring to. He's always thought of his guns as his "boys". Girls works, too, he supposes.]

Ivory?

[He turns the gun about in his hand]

Yeah, she's been good to me.

[nosebleeds]

[pause.]

Did it work?

[ringthenoise]

Nope.

Guess they just can't stand not having my company.

[trickmyheart]

You would be a fool to think that anyone is listening.

text;

[ringthenoise]

well, some people obviously are.

[therapeutics]

What could you possibly have done already?

[ which just reminds her - time to set up shop and get to snooping, frankly. ]

video;

[ringthenoise]

Huh?

...Cleared out your warehouse, of course.

You're welcome, by the way.

video;

[worldswillburn]

Think you should try asking a bit more nicely.

video;

[ringthenoise]

[A thoughtful pause]

You're right. Guess I forgot to say "please". Ya think it'd make a difference?

video;

[aequivoci]

They don't care. You're here til they or whatever system deems you worthless.

I'm surprised you're so talkative now~ [ sarcastically said, of course ]

video;

[ringthenoise]

[He points into the camera]

Yeah? Hope ya don't think less of me, now.
