Mark I - ||video||

[the_mechanic]

[There's a close-up view of a well-manicured goatee, though there's a bit of blood around the lips, and as he adjusts the camera, it's plain to see that the clearly-attractive man has definitely been in a fight recently. Put mildly. And also that he's wearing some kind of metal armor suit thing, with the face-mask open.

He opens his mouth to speak, then closes it again. Twice. This is not a man accustomed to being at a loss for words.]

Please tell me there's someone in this sparkly-rainbow-nightmare than can get a full sentence out, with minimal KUPO, that can tell me what the hell is going on?

...please?

[The camera pans out just enough to show the komory bat perched on the top of the man's head, chittering away happily. Tony swipes at him half-heartedly, as if they've been through this a few times already, and the bat makes no motion to vacate his vantage point.

Tony looks pleadingly into the camera, and with a deep sigh, cuts the feed.]

If you escape the people that came to help you, the hotel's in the second district and you can crash there for a while. Get some sleep and wake up. No, sleeping in a dream doesn't make sense, but there you go.

[He chuckles, but it's mirthless. It's obvious he's dead tired, but resisting.]

Nothing about this makes sense. And yeah, sleep and I aren't exactly copacetic, lately. But I'll take a look.

[He'd probably feel more at home in a garage than a bed, truth be told.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

If you need rescuing from your rescuers, just say the word.

[because what the guy needs is so clearly to have more people rushing to help.]

[the_mechanic]

[Clearly.]

Raincheck?

But if you hear what sounds like the wailing of a rendered soul, feel free to step in, anyway.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I promise not to take more than two minutes recording your agony before I help you.

[the_mechanic]

[Congrats, he's out-right laughing]

...fair enough.
