The Hulk | 001 | Video | Day 70

[greenisnteasy]

[ The Hulk woke up outside his and Banner's place with this black thing strapped to his wrist, and he's pretty pissed. Not pissed enough that he's going to tear shit up, he's just angry because he doesn't remember getting here. He doesn't remember forcing his way out of Banner, and he can remember each and every time that happened -- until now. Except for this one.

When the feed switches on, it's because the Hulk's fingers are pulling at the thing, trying to yank it off; that's when he notices the screen doing something -- filming -- and so now the feed fills up with one enormous green eye. He pulls his wrist back and tilts his head. He knows what this thing is now. ]

What happened to Banner? Where's Tony?

[ He glances around him, and then narrows his eyes at the camera. ] This place is stupid.

[ You've just been served. ]

Comments

[reluctantsword]

No argument there, buddy.

[Wallie could ask Hulk the same question. It's been a while since he's seen Bruce, and to have the Hulk just show up after an absence is... well, a surprise, but not an impossible one. At least he seems... calm, and conversational.]

I don't think I can answer either of your questions, unfortunately. I'd think you'd know what happened to Bruce better than a lot of people, actually. Are you all right?

[greenisnteasy]

[ He growls lowly. He hates that he even cares what happened to Stupidface Banner, but he feels like he's missing something, and he thinks Banner's at the heart of it. ]

Don't know about Banner. Don't remember. [ He sniffs and looks around him, but he doesn't see anything there that could help, either. ] Woke up out here.

[reluctantsword]

He -- and you too, I guess -- you've been missing for a little while. I haven't seen Tony, either.

[He offers a sympathetic grimace, though what that's worth to the Hulk, he's not sure he can say.]

Not that I don't think you can handle yourself, but can I help you at all?

[bostonhowler]

You're back!

[Yes. she's actually happy about that.]

Are you okay?

[greenisnteasy]

[ He narrows his eyes; his response to kindness is suspicion until he has time to accept it. The question of whether or not he's fine is stupid, just like the rest of this place, so he ignores it and moves on to the problem. ]

Woke up out here. Don't know how.

[bostonhowler]

You were gone for a while. I don't know where you went. Or where Dr. Banner went. I couldn't find either of you.

[She did look, a little. But she's wary about saying she couldn't smell them anymore.]

Would you like some company?

( video )

[rigging]

[ Oh oh oh. Oh, hi. Jesse's excited (if... slightly pale and hungover) face fills the screen. ]

Ay - yeah, no, it is. You good, man? How's it going? [ He's very, very aware it's not Bruce, but. He's had a good time and a bad time with the Hulk, consecutively, and he wants to make it better, this time. No sparking, look! ]

[greenisnteasy]

[ He remembers Wheezy. Or maybe he's Sparky now. He gives a short sigh, not quite a growl. ]

Don't know. That's why I asked. [ About Banner, that is. ]

[rigging]

Oh. [ He rubs at the back of his neck. ] I ain't... seen Banner. [ He sniffs. ] Or Tony. All three'a you been gone.

[nedofpies]

[ Someone, at least, is thrilled to see that the Hulk is back. In one sense he is happy because that means Bruce is also back, which is good, because Ned likes Bruce, and he's sure it will help cheer Jesse up a little. But he's also just glad to see the Hulk, for the Hulk's sake. It is a little unreasonable, he knows, worrying about someone who did could kill him while barely lifting a finger, but that's just how his brain works ]

I don't know what happened or where Tony is. Sorry. [ And then, with obvious solicitude and worry ] Are you alright?

[greenisnteasy]

[ Oh, hey. It's the Flower Man. Even his nice face and nice everything doesn't make the news that Tony's gone any better though. He's found out already, but it's still distressing. ]

Don't remember what happened. [ He's really unsettled by that. He doesn't have good feelings. ]

Woke up out here, don't know what happened to Banner. [ His lip curls. ] Other than white coats.

[nedofpies]

[ That's not really an answer to his question, Hulk. Which means Ned is just going have to assume a resounding no, no he isn't alright. But then, he wouldn't be alright either, if he couldn't remember what had happened to him but he knew that the scientists had taken him and done god knows what ]

White coats have been happening to a lot of people, lately. [And why yes, that does kind of scare the crap out of Ned, because he knows it's only a matter of time until it's his turn, and he isn't sure he's going to be able to cope the way everyone else seems to ]

[mentis]

Hello again. [ Being on video is much safer so he'll just attempt to talk to the Hulk without getting crushed. ]

Please tell me you're not about to crush the library.

[greenisnteasy]

[ Please enjoy one really annoyed face. Please! Ugh, like he doesn't have class. ]

Don't care about your books. [ Which doesn't really answer the question of the fate of the library. ]

[mentis]

No, I suppose you don't. Are you all right?

[hung_garian]

Your face is stupid.

[greenisnteasy]

[ Excuse you!? ]

You're stupid.

[hung_garian]

Ah. Touché.

[gleans]

[ Well, he can't say he thought he'd be relieved to see the Hulk again. Galen blows out a breath before answering. ]

I haven't seen either of them in -- a few days, actually. You alright, big guy?

[greenisnteasy]

Hulk fine. [ All these people asking him that like they mean it is weird. How does he even answer? When isn't he fine? He's the goddamn Hulk, nothing can hurt him. He doesn't get what they're asking. ]

Uh. How are you? [ That's how people talk right? ]

[gleans]

[ He laughs a little. It's almost funny! ]

Um -- I'm fine, too, thanks. You -- where were you, before you were here, just now? Do you remember?

[burnburnburn]

[Dilandau's impressed by the Hulk's size]

You're a big man, aren't you? Do you know how to use those muscles?

[greenisnteasy]

[ What? Ugh. He gives this guy his most gimme a break face. ]

You wanna find out?

[onteamdyson]

Awwwwh, my trophy wife stole my line. I was totes gonna go with the 'your face' thing. Snap. Oh well.

'Sup, dude? How's it going? Awesome. Great. Good to hear. So happy for you-- Can you tag out now and switch with the Doc? How does this work? Is there a button we can push like on those mighty morphin' power rangers dolls where the heads like... flipped and they could have their mask on or off? Know what I'm talking about?

[greenisnteasy]

[ He snarls into the camera. ] It's Hulk's turn. Banner can shove it.
