"Gone fishing."
[ so don't leave messages to ruin the after fishing glow !!!
your one stop shop for not leaving him alone ]
goes to eat okra
All the world's a stage but sometimes the players want to do something else. Something real. This is still real but...]
Did you leave him there?
stares forlornly from the front porch
Real is scary as hell. ]
I rescued him from the two headed alligator.
puts in with okra
[Did she rescue him on purpose or did she rescue him on purpose, it's open for interpretation.]
what no bad will
Turns out his fire doesn't work so well when he's soaked, and he's either hacking in to the Registered messages, or Registered himself. He was out there to mess with the continuum supply line for everyone.
Doesn't look like he has instant regeneration as one of his skills. If that's an upside. (I think it is.)
no subject
Makes sense that fire doesn't do so well when wet. So does being Registered. It's easy. It doesn't mean good or bad, not like the rest of the population might assume.
Was he injured at all? Do you remember? If he couldn't regenerate, it's possible those injuries would out him. Might not still be there now but someone could've seen them on him.
[He reads that sentence a few times because it's so not normal he has to appreciate it.]
no subject
Yes. Arm injury, I suspect dislocation or clavicle involved. I have a read on his height, less on his weight. Hard to tell given the circumstances, but he's healthy, probably in his prime years. Fully adult male with how he holds himself and the muscle definition I could make out. He keeps himself in good physical condition, whoever he is.
He has a limited form of propulsion with his flames. He was able to use them to get himself up and away with good maneuverability, though I wouldn't be able to say just how much height or distance he can get. Given that he was playing it by foot to be getting alligator rushed, it may be draining, or it may not. He's able to throw flame after a fashion, too.
Probably can't throw as far with accuracy. Might be able to throw flaming things with better accuracy. I'd be surprised if someone as dedicated to a cause as he appears to be doesn't have some medium or long range capability.
no subject
Have you told anyone this other than me, Annie? Someone in authority, someone with the law enforcement here?
[She could have told her entire house and fifty of her closest plant friends and that wouldn't matter if she hasn't told anyone who can do something with it.]
no subject
Lucifer and Starscream's efforts come to mind.
[ No. The answer is no. ]
no subject
[He's not. He could be. He could be in pretty much every way, if he went a certain route, if he took Chilton up on a clean bill of health. He might be able to be what he wasn't before, what he can't ever be. Ethically, at any rate.]
I can be useful to you, though. If you'd rather not tell them yourself, I'll do it for you. Pass the message along. But if it happens it needs to be shared, don't you think?
no subject
[ It's one way of saying her hands are much more tied in how much she can say or do. The government has a particular consideration of Annie and her comrades, and they put themselves in that position. They have to be good... but they have to seem like when they aren't following protocol, it's not out of any ill intent.
That it's not easy to misread, and that they at least make an attempt to do as they must as proper, cooperative citizens. ]
It might be best on the civilian side of things to have a more authoritative presence helping with the information delivery. I'm, ah... too young to be taken as seriously as I should be. Even on things like this.
Young girls have big imaginations, I've been told. They don't understand what's going on. And they shouldn't play with complex toys.
no subject
Most young girls can't do what you can do. [Which Will hasn't seen and honestly would rather not, but there were enough people from her world here, too, to make the claims ring true.] And they shouldn't consider you a toy. [But they might, it's possible. Will was a wonderful pet to have for a while, but he broke a bit differently than the other toys. He broke and supposedly took out quite a few with him, and yet he'd been playing somewhat nicely before it. A good toy on multiple levels he's still realizing, daily.] You want to take this somewhere else and don't feel they'll take you seriously, I'll go with you. That's all I can do.
no subject
That'd be good if going to the Heropa police, after I talk with Holiday. Or Ananke. About the only one I know involved with the police from the import side of things is Light, or at least the only one with that particular set of ambitions.
There are lawyers, too, but this isn't so much the practice as law as the reporting of infractions.
no subject
Is Light the blockhead who wouldn't stop yakking about justice and arguing about hypocrisy and presumption on Lunatic's big PSA?
[His thoughts on Light are
well
perhaps not hard to tell]
no subject
Not that her, uh, affirmation says all that much. ]
Probably. Not even probably, likely; either way, his was one of the communications where Lunatic decided to "show" himself, much like with you.
[ .......... not much other than the fact she was reading and stalking around. High five, Will, we all predate the public information feeds. ]
no subject
[And thus Light is a blockhead. Someone take his football away, that little idiot doesn't deserve it. Casual possible bragging about being good at his job when he's like twenty years more experienced? What an asshole.]
You think Lunatic's forgiven your sins for the help?
no subject
[ Giving you credit here Will. Credit for knowing what you're doing, to whatever degree you're choosing to do what it is you do.
Though of course Annie will point out what the difference is. Of course.
Assholes. ]
No. I confused him. I could tell that much. I might be helping him question himself or what absolution comes out of murder, but even that he can dismiss. Particularly if he does intend to "save" me for his "last wish."
[ Stupidity central. Do not pass Go, do not collect forgiveness from the insane. ]
no subject
[In forensic science from George Washington University which is really so much of nothing to brag about, but whatever. He had schooling, experience, he had his stupid empathy thing. The odds were ever in his favor to grow up and be a weirdo who got fucked over.
By assholes.
No wonder he's an asshole, too. This is a world of assholes and them fucking things up, and Will is not immune to any of it.]
Confusion doesn't register the same way it might with other people. You could be giving him conflict, certainly, but I can't imagine it'll do anything good. For anyone. This is a career, experienced, fire-flinging killer operating under a myriad of delusions. Confusion isn't good.
[It makes them even stupider in their actually logical reasoning, Annie this is not okay, please stand strong and 100 feet tall.]
no subject
[ "I've been to school" means nothing next to "I've spent decades actually doing this work." Ten to one he can guess where her greater degree of faith registers.
If faith is much of anything she'd confess to having. ]
No, it isn't, but the confusion comes along with not leaving him to die in the swamp. Though it would have been a great time to pull off the mask and figure out which person we're dealing with. if I'd been able to recover the body after the alligator was done defending her territory.
[ She could have gone after him with the shovel, too. Let the alligator and her own skills be what he had to contend with. But she didn't.
It's her own sticking point, and part of what makes her a failure as a monster: there are lines Annie does not cross, even when they'd be to her brutal benefit. Ask Armin.
Or don't. He's less stable than she is these days. ]
no subject
[Really, it's good for it be meaningless to her. He hopes it stays that way. It's been a damn long time since he worked in crime labs exclusively. For him to get back to that, to be doing that again...it's better it stays meaningless here.]
Probably would've made it worse if he caught you there and you left him to his own devices and he managed to get away without any help. Sort of a lose/lose shitshow whatever you do. Even when you do the right thing.
[The right thing can be subjective, but in this case, it's...ah, it's easy, isn't he?
He's not asking anyone when he can ask Annie herself. If he wants to. Rather get it from the horse's mouth than calling up people and playing the part of Stupid Fuckhead #045 just asking because, a-ah...!]
no subject
[ It's the better idea. Doubly so in person. Annie is much less good at diverting when confronted with her own bs face to face. Or asked for her honest opinions. Or statements and recitations of fact. ]
no subject
[A joke in and of itself; Will's phrasing is what gets him in trouble more than just about anything else. At least with certain reporters.]
Your stuff's on the way, FYI. You think you'll be okay with that chick who did it?

That was something like $350 worth, retail price.
I don't mind it. Because they were for you. Not anybody else. And if you gave one to somebody, it was yours to give after that. You didn't give. They were taken.
So if Little Miss wants to be a thief, she can learn a Goddamn lesson in keeping her hands off people's things the good old-fashioned way. You break it you buy it, you take it you buy it. Lucky not to get legal charges brought up.
