[So Natalia has watched her video, she's sat on the ground (in the grass, she's not really questioning that just yet)with a brow cocked at the device on her wrist, and she's assessed that this is not her comm device. She can't establish communication through any of her normal channels. She's also pretty pissed that someone has stripped her of her electronics.

She sighs pulling her hair back into a long tail, so the next logical step here is... Obviously to address the network. And try to get a handle on what is going on.]

So... I'm guessing no one has seen a ten foot tall angry gorilla with an automatic passing through here.

[Yes, a gorilla with a machine gun. Not a guerrilla, and actual primate. Fur, fangs, opposable thumbs, surprisingly intelligent, a quality most guerrillas seem to lack. The thing knew Russian, for godsake. That's pretty damn impressive for a better than thousand pound ape.]

Okay, well...What about a guy, kind of broody and rough around the edges, wearing a dinky little mask that only covers his eyes? Black pants, seems to have an allergy to sleeves... a metal arm? Might answer to James if you're really nice? We were together just as my friend Koko attacked.

[She pauses long enough to take a breath and squint at the area she's in.] No?

[Natalia shrugs.] I guess then I'm going to need to request an evac? Something tells me I'm not going to get one though...

Day's looking better already.

[Good for her. He may be useful at some point...]

My name is Natasha. Might be handy for me to know yours later too, just in case I get lonely.

Loki. Charmed, et cetera.

[theassassin]

Loki? Really? [Bad. You might have done better to have gone with something besides that.] Well, that's a shame.

Re: video

[hung_garian]

So I've been told. If it's any help, I'm the fun one, not the emo one.

video

[theassassin]

Not really a help.

Re: video

[hung_garian]

It oughtta be. Okay, so maybe my brownie points are well into negative figures, but I haven't tried to take over the world yet, so from what I hear, I'm still doing better than the other version of me.

[theassassin]

All I'm hearing is the word yet, and that's not doing much to help your case.

video

[hung_garian]

Your words, they wound me.

video

[theassassin]

Yeah... I've got a problem.

Re: video

[hung_garian]

I'm sure there's a rehab facility of some kind. Don't give up hope just yet.

video

[theassassin]

Oh, I didn't say I've given up hope. The first step to recognizing you've got a problem is admitting you have one right?

Re: video

[hung_garian]

You know, I imagine it is. Can't think what the next step might be, though.

video

[theassassin]

Neither can I, oh well. So, what is there to do for fun around here? And if you say 'you'... I might have to hurt you, and you probably won't like it.

Re: video

[hung_garian]

Then wouldja mind giving me a few moments to think up a new answer?

[A brief pause, not long enough for her to reply.]

Good. Theeeeeen I guess I'd have to say watching paint dry.

[theassassin]

[If she had the time she would have said For him to take his time, becuase she wouldn't want him to pull something, but of course he's already talking again.]

With or without ventilation?

Re: video

[hung_garian]

Oh, your choice, of course. We're not all that strict here - you can make a few of your own decisions.

video

[theassassin]

Good to know.
