[shesamarshmallow]

Okay, if this works, could someone let me know? Because I can't see the buttons, and this apparently isn't my day.

I'm going to need one of the medical-type people. And if someone could turn the lights in my place back on, that'd be great.

Also, whoever it is who turned off the lights in my place? Yeah. If you want to come forward with that one, I promise I'll laugh about this with you later.

What do you mean, you can't see the buttons?

I mean, yes, it's working. [Priorities, Blaine.]

[voice]

[shesamarshmallow]

Yay for getting the comm working. I can die happy.

And I can't see the buttons because everything's pitch black.

[voice]

[justlove]

Let's hope it doesn't get that bad.

Are you sure it's just the lights, though? I thought it was for me too, but it turns out I'm... temporarily blind. [He hopes that it really is just the lights for her.]

[ He blinks for a moment. ]

I don't know 'bout any power outages, kiddo. Want me to come 'n take a look?

[shesamarshmallow]

[Let's just focus on the important part of that.]

You what?

[justlove]

Well, um, I don't really know if it's temporary or not, but I'm really hoping that it is.

[shesamarshmallow]

Uh... yeah.

Because apparently, I'm blind otherwise.

The rest I'll tell you when you get here, because that's the good stuff.

[shesamarshmallow]

Okay, so... how blind are you? Are you sure you're blind?

And what makes you think it's temporary?

[justlove]

I can't see my hand in front of my face, which is never a good sign of anything.

Because I don't want to think about it being permanent.

[hung_garian]

No, it's not working. Looks like you'll have to revert to the tried-and-true carrier pigeon, sweetheart.

[VOICE]

[primogen_vampirate]

I would suggest paging Doctor Banner, dear.

[ He's just lucky she can't see the concerned look that flashed across his face. ]

I'll be...[ He just cuts the feed off before just heading over to V's home and stepping inside. If the door was locked...well, Clint has ways around that shit. ]

Veronica?

[shesamarshmallow]

[There's a long pause before she finally responds.]

When did you lose your sight?

[shesamarshmallow]

Up here!

[She scoots forward on the stair, feeling her way along. The ladder leading upstairs to the attic is still open behind her, and some notebooks full of coded notes and a small lamp have fallen through behind her.]

So... here's the other bad news. Apparently, even though that whole is there in the floor every day, I chose today to be surprised by it. And I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure I either broke my ankle or lost my foot.

[Her voice quiets.] It's going to be a long time before I reenact those Saw movies.

[shesamarshmallow]

Damn. Mind catching me one and bringing it to me, honey bunny?

[VOICE]

[shesamarshmallow]

[There's a bit of a pause before Veronica responds.]

Uh, yeah. Thanks for that. I'll... do that.

[VOICE]

[primogen_vampirate]

You haven't been drinking any homemade moonshine, have you?

audio

[hung_garian]

I'll see what I can do, but they're damn fast. Can't make any promises.

audio

[shesamarshmallow]

I know you didn't just call yourself slow.

[VOICE]

[shesamarshmallow]

What? No. Why would I-

Do I sound drunk to you? Am I slurring?

[VOICE]

[primogen_vampirate]

No. Just something I've seen before.

[VOICE]

[shesamarshmallow]

No worries. I'm not drunk and not likely to be. I'll... try to get in touch with Bruce.

[justlove]

A few hours or something like that. It's hard to tell, because it didn't happen all at once, you know. [At first, it was just like he wasn't watching where he was going, then everything started to look grey, followed by things appearing as nothing more than outlines. It got worse from there until he couldn't see anything at all.]

[VOICE]

[primogen_vampirate]

Darling, I'm not talking about drunkenness.

I'm talking about dirty hootch that might impact your eyes.

[hung_garian]

Slower than a bird. Y'know, the kind of bird that has wings and can fly? It's not exactly headline news for a guy to be slower than that.

[Admittedly Gabriel's about a hundred times faster than most birds, but hey. He's not one to brag.


okay, yes he is, but he can make an exception.]
