025 ♋ Video

Once some of you fresh meat are finished freaking the fuck out and actually work towards getting settled into your environments...

Here is a golden opportunity, so open your auricular sponge clots and listen up. I have some eggs that I need to get rid of. Twenty fucking seven eggs, in fact. There's a variety and what doesn't get taken by some happy new partner slash owner gets set free into the wilds to defend itself.

[ not really. he'll ship the remaining eggs to the day care or something. there's still plenty there to snatch up! ]

So don't let them get eaten by wild Sneasels! Just fucking take them! One of the Axew eggs is for the oddly named human Hiccup.

Otherwise? I've got nothing. I do want to ask if anyone has any leads on what the fuck happened the last week, but I'm doubtful that anyone really knows who was behind that shit.

I wonder how long these effects are going to stick around.

It's so I can gather information later. [Tips his head and looks up finally, his face serious.] Don't worry about it anymore.

[She sees that and almost snaps at him, but manages to catch herself. He was sending her an egg, after all.]

...Right. So I'm Astrid, who're you?

[usedshooshpap]

[ squinting. he doesn't REALLY want to drop it. ]

And you didn't look at your Gear at all during this time...

[usedshooshpap]

Karkat Vantas.

[shadowdive]

[After a few minutes of a squint staredown, Vanitas sighs and grunts.] You can't tell anyone.

[usedshooshpap]

Since when have I told any secrets of yours?

[Video]

[punchandkiss]

[More strange names she doesn't recognize, but at least she's more prepared for it.]

...Nice to meet you, Karkat. So do I need to stay where I am so your bat can find me?

[shadowdive]

I haven't had any real secrets. This one, I don't want anyone knowing, because it would blow my cover.

[usedshooshpap]

Okay, first of all: how dangerous is this shit and how often do I get to berate you for being an idiot and continuing this line of work?

[shadowdive]

So far, not that dangerous. And why do you feel like you need to berate me for being an idiot? [Snorts gently and there's another squeeze of his arms, almost trying to reassure.]

[usedshooshpap]

Ask yourself this: Is what you do something you'd force me to stop?

[shadowdive]

Yes. [No hesitation.]

[usedshooshpap]

Then why shouldn't I ride your ass about it?

[shadowdive]

I'm waiting for an idiot to spill information on Team Rocket. Doing odd jobs for him is to gain his trust. If anything, the good pay should cover if I get injured and can't work for a while. [As if 'information on Team Rocket' is the best reason.]

[usedshooshpap]

How long have you been doing this and what all do you have to show for it?

[shadowdive]

The offer stood for a few months before he contacted me. I've only had one odd job so far, so nothing to start. I did well, so he will likely call on me again sooner rather than later. Gaining his trust is the key to getting him to talk about Team Rockets plans.

[usedshooshpap]

This is stupid.

[usedshooshpap]

Oh god... Are you roleplaying? For real?

[shadowdive]

What is? [Snorts, turning his head down to look away.]

[usedshooshpap]

Mister double fucking agent. You. This is a stupid idea.

[shadowdive]

Why is it a stupid idea? I'm strong enough if something backfires.

[usedshooshpap]

Not if it spills out to the entire fucking organization! One person, yeah. No big deal. You can't possibly fight them all on your fucking own!

[shadowdive]

That's why the cover can't be blown. [It's said with a soft tone, but he's bumping his head into Karkat's.] So don't freak out if you hear the name "Xehanort" mentioned over the network. That's how I told him to contact me.

[usedshooshpap]

[ grunts, scowling. he's not worried, dammit. ]

That doesn't cover what happens if something goes wrong.
