( video | un: white_lotus )

[ the video opens on the white masked face and large pink eyes of one spider-woman ( secretly gwendolyn stacy. ) nothing else about the video seems odd…except perhaps for the way her pink-and-blue web-lined hood hangs around her head almost as if she were actually upside down ( she is. )

nothing else is weird. at all.

Greetings, Audentes. For those who don't know me, I'm your resident Spider-Woman. That's first name "Spider," last name "Woman," middle initial "hyphen." With that out of the way, I interrupt your daily routine to bring you this.

[ gwen flips her hand, seemingly pulling a scratched piece of holodisc out of midair. ( yes, she practiced that move. ) it vanishes from view as she holds it near the magitek. but the garbled audio is captured without problem. ]

--the core. Instability will result in-- --for this reason, we have--

[ gwen waits a few seconds so the message stands alone before proceeding. ]

Now, I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like the opposite of good. And considering all the holes and earthquakes and the earth generally being like nah to being stepped on around here, I'm guessing this planet thinks the same thing.

I also know my friend and I weren't the only ones who ran out to find more of these. [ the exaggerated friendliness with which she usually speaks tapers off into something more solemn. even the eyes of the mask narrow slightly. because masks do this. ] This planet was abandoned a thousand years ago for a reason. It's looking like we're going to discover that reason on our own. I prefer to do my research first so if anyone's found more of these messages, time to share with the class.

heavyhitter: (i told u about chili dogs bro)

Yeah, my trusty companion. She's about small car-sized.
fateality: (and so)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-01 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I am both mildly terrified and immensely jealous.
heavyhitter: (they see me rollin)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-01 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, she's friendly. You can just be jealous.
fateality: (what's up hotshot)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-01 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Jealous it is. How'd you go about gettin' yourself a giant spider friend?
heavyhitter: you traded me away long gone (with a shower of yeahs and whatevers)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-01 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, found her back in Nalawi. She kinda does her own thing, I don't even know where she is right now. Or what she's eating. Or who she's eating, maybe.
fateality: (insert shitty laugh)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-01 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, she isn't eating me or you, so it's probably fine.
heavyhitter: and here's the party it turned into! (here's the mutiny i promised you)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-01 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
See, that's what I figured. And it's probably just bandits out there, anyway.
fateality: (stacked the deck)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-02 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Poor fellahs. If it ain't gettin' busted by the lot of us or maimed by an elf, it's the spider chowin' down.

The bandit population's really gonna plummet here.
heavyhitter: (i told u about chili dogs bro)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-02 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Man we're a destructive bunch. Honestly, we should probably get a medal for it.
fateality: (on the way)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-02 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Honorable deputies, maybe.
heavyhitter: i'm a rockstar (so what?)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-02 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Complete with gold star and cowboy boots, or no deal.
fateality: (insert shitty laugh)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-02 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You got a pair of boots yet? Important question.
heavyhitter: but you won't be there whatever (there's a party in your honor)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-02 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, I got my boots, but they're not authentic. They don't count.
fateality: (♣️ somethin' you call love)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-02 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I can help with one out of two. We'll talk boots in a bit.

Give me about ten minutes, though.
heavyhitter: you traded me away long gone (with a shower of yeahs and whatevers)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-02 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, what? Ten minutes for what?
fateality: thebutt.tumblr.com (❤️ you've got somethin' for me)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-02 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[It does take him about ten minutes, maybe a little more.

But without having to ask her, Twisted Fate appears in front of Ramir, transporting himself through his magic. He adjusts his hat before he dusts himself off.]


Anyhow. Don't ever say I never gave you a thing.

[He holds up in his hand a deputy badge that he most definitely liberated from the sheriff's office.]

Might not want to wear it in front of the qorral. Just sayin'.
heavyhitter: (tone it down this happens all the time)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-02 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ holy shit, warn a girl. Ramir jolts from what had been a totally casual lean against barrel in the shade of a building, then huffs a sigh as she realizes it's just Twisted Fate. Doing his thing. ]

Jesus. I didn't even know you could do that. [ Her eyes drop to the badge, and immediately her eyebrows arch incredulously. ] --Where the fuck did you get that?

[ She does not seem displeased in the slightest. ]
fateality: (insert shitty laugh)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-02 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a lot about me that you don't know yet, Ramir.

[It at least implies he's willing to share more, at some point. But he does love to surprise people.]

Where do you think I got it?
heavyhitter: spider, believe me (if you should leave me)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-02 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yet, she's into that yet. That, along with the badge itself (which she's happy to finally snatch up), get a grin. ]

I'm sure you just found it lying in the street. I guess someone musta dropped it, that's sad. [ She tucks it into a pocket. ] What, didn't find two?
fateality: (all righty then)

[personal profile] fateality 2016-11-02 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Very slowly, he holds out his coat, revealing another badge pinned -- on the inside of it, of course.]

Damn shame, droppin' two of them. But that just makes us lucky, doesn't it?

Now then. I think somebody's also in need of a fine pair of boots?
