@librarian; video; Day 391

[cahooted]

[His voice is rushed and tense, a little gravely from crying and trying to keep his emotions in check.]

Tess? I heard what happened at the bunker and just... when you get this, w-when you're back [when, not if] just, give me a call, please. Let me know you're okay. Let me know you're getting this? Please, and just--

Yeah. Just let me know when you're getting this.

[Aww, this is sweet. She knew there was a reason she liked him. He's so attached. She's not sure she can pull off an impression of the weaker version of herself over video, but text would probably be suspicious.]

Flynn! Hey, yeah. Yeah, I came back. That was...something. That was a lot of something.

[cahooted]

Hey! You're back!

[Oh, finally! Flynn looks and sounds a bit bleary-eyed and exhausted – the past couple of days and the fight with Peter yesterday just were a lot – but when her message comes in his face lights up with joyful relief.]

Welcome back. I'm... I'm really glad you're back. Are you okay? Where are you? Do you need anything? Do you know what your death price is, do you need any help?

[motherserpent]

Yeah, actually I, uh...I'm having some trouble over here. I'm kind of...blind?

[She didn't mean that to come out as a question. Maybe she should have thought of a fake death price before she called him back.]

[cahooted]

Blind? Oh man. Peter was blind, too, that's not fun.

Do you think you can find the video setting? If you point the camera around maybe I can figure out where you are.

[motherserpent]

Uhhh....

[Shit. Yeah, fine. Maybe he's nearby, and if he's nearby she does want to meet up with him. He might have food, and/or traveling companions full of spare blood.]

Yeah, let me...try that....

[She tries to fumble around with the tablet and pretend she's having trouble with it until she gets the video turned on -- the outward video so her face doesn't show. It shows a view of the ground floor of the columbarium.]

[cahooted]

[Flynn studies the feed for a moment.]

I think you're in the Radiation Zone if I'm not mistaken. That's the columbarium, I'm pretty sure.

We're not too far from there but I got an angry megalomaniac on my tail so that might delay me...

[motherserpent]

...Oh?

[This place isn't big enough for two angry megalomaniacs.]

Anyone I know?

[cahooted]

Peter.

[He sighs, his voice turning a little more troubled.]

He's lost his humanity and has turned into a raging jerk.

[motherserpent]

Oh wow, seriously? The whole planet celestial thing?

...Does he actually have any powers back or is it just the attitude, though.

[cahooted]

Just the attitude.

[Despite his worry, he takes the time to justifiably roll his eyes at that.]

So much attitude? At least he didn't turn in to an actual planet this time. When that happens I'm out.

[motherserpent]

Lame. Only other actual god-thing here and he's just...not even doing anything cool with it.

[cahooted]

I'm... kind of glad he isn't?

[motherserpent]

Uh...yeah. Yeah, I guess I could see that. So what, is he just yelling at you or something?

[cahooted]

That's right.

... Mainly about how much he's going to kill me.

... Which you'd think he'd tire of eventually but apparently he can yell about that a lot?

[motherserpent]

Lame. Death threats are so twenty-fifteen. I'm guessing you tied him up or something?

[cahooted]

Rolled him up in a curtain, actually.

He was really mad.

And yelled a little more about how he's gonna kill me.

[motherserpent]

[snerk!]

That's adorable. Probably should keep him rolled up, though, he might actually be capable of carrying through on it.

[cahooted]

I'm not that easy to kill.

... Probably still fairly easy to kill.

But not that easy.
