Bruce Banner | 008 | Video

Thanks, Suzette, for that marvelous introduction.

[His brittle smile fades, and he glances away, gaining his composure again, before he turns back to the communicator. When he finally dared to sleep, he woke up to find one back on his wrist. He can't say he's surprised, but he's freaked out. Presently, though, he's actually more freaked out about having to send this message.]

So my "blood disease" is more of a... condition. [He smiles faintly.] A big, green condition. Don't play with radiation, kids, even in the name of science. Maybe especially not in the name of science.

[Okay, Banner. Quit playing around. He sighs, becoming more serious.]

It was an accident in the lab. I got hit with a lot of gamma radiation -- too much gamma radiation, and instead of killing me, it altered my cells. Now I can turn into... that, the big green thing that fell out of the sky. He's called the Hulk.

[He rubs his other hand over his face and pulls his glasses off as he sits back. He'd figured out a script, but it almost seems like a better idea to freestyle it. Maybe then he'd seem more honest, after lying about this.]

He's... He has good days and bad days. My advice is stay out of his way. If you see him again, which, best case scenario, you won't, but... He's handy in a pinch; he's how I escaped where I was, where the scientists were keeping me. I woke up in some kind of... white room, strapped to a table, and I... traded places with him. That worked out okay.

I'm going to be honest. Sometimes I can't -- Anger is the trigger, the big trigger. Believe me when I say you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. [He smirks lightly, but there's nothing but seriousness in his eyes.]

This is how I've been living for over six years now. I'm finding my groove, if that's any consolation. I'm sorry for lying. [And he really looks it.] This time I'd appreciate it if you didn't go for the vegetable throwing. If I freak you out now, if you don't trust me, okay. That's okay. Let's just agree to stick to opposite sides of the street.

I... guess that's it. Thanks.

[OOC: It should be noted that the Hulk was wandering around, and it's totally legit to say your character saw him, even if they missed him falling out of the sky!]

[So much staring. A lot of staring. She stares for about three minutes before she says anything.]

That.... is ...



Awesome.

That guy was YOU? The whole time? Holy crap, Bruce! I thought you were just a super doctor science guy but you have WICKED AWESOME POWERS ON TOP OF IT!?
manofiron: (what the hell?)

[ His expression is as serious as his voice. If there are jokes to be made, that will come later. ]

You know you don't owe anyone an explanation.
manofiron: (stop taking my stuff)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-22 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ His eyes narrow briefly at the mention of skipping off to India, but he's not getting sidetracked. ]

He didn't hurt anyone, Bruce. He doesn't need to be apologized for, like he did anything wrong. Last I checked, getting you the hell out of there was the complete opposite of wrong.
manofiron: (getting harangued again)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-22 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Last time he did pretty good.

[ He refuses to actually argue about this. He isn't going to raise his voice or let it get heated, but he isn't going to back down on this point either. ]

Time before that, too. I talked to him, Bruce. He knew what he was doing. And he talked me out of doing something stupid.
manofiron: (try that again)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-22 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not trying to erase them. I'm trying to get you to see that they're not all he is. Because this? This isn't something you should have to do.
onteamdyson: (But I'm gonna kick your butt!)

[personal profile] onteamdyson 2012-12-22 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
What? Dude, no. Embrace your shit already. No one got messed up but those evil scientist bastards, right? No harm, no foul. You're BACK! Alive. Safe and sound. Next time I see the giant broccoli man, I'm gonna thank him.

[She's just beaming at him. Bruce is back! They still stand a chance.] You okay? We totes missed you. And ... sometimes you gotta lie. To protect the people you care about. So don't sweat it. [Kenzi understands. Bruce should know why.]
manofiron: (yeah that'd be me)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-22 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe I'm the sane one.

[ But his lips twitch as he says it. It's not quite a smile, but it's close enough. ]

Just. Don't let them get to you, okay? Just don't.

[Cue the slow applause.]

Excellent execution, pleasing format, extra points for style... ending could've used a bit of work, though.
laevisilaufeyson: (pic#5217501)

[personal profile] laevisilaufeyson 2012-12-22 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
So I did. Why should that surprise you?
manofiron: (heh)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-22 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
You bet you can. Any time. Pitchforks not required.
agentx13: (a: listening)

I'm sorry it happened that way, Dr. Banner.

I doubt it will help, but that girl is rapidly climbing the list of people I'd like to shoot.
laevisilaufeyson: (completely innocent)

[personal profile] laevisilaufeyson 2012-12-22 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
No. I suppose you wouldn't. I do fail to see how it matters.

[He lets a few seconds pass in silence before smiling suddenly and brightly.]

Thank you for proving my point, incidentally. You see? People still talk to me.
manofiron: (just humoring you now)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-22 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Do birds fly?

[ He nods, still not pushing, just laying it out there. ]

Yeah. It still stands. Always will.
