Case 210 [Video]

[manofgnee]

So, it's still dark out. Can't say I'm surprised...I didn't think the stars could actually go out, but...well, City. You never fail to surprise me...

And speaking of surprises, look what I can do!

[Hanna grins and snaps his fingers, illuminating the video with a small flame at the tip of his finger.]

Cool, huh? No pain or chest issues or blood or anything! I've been using this to see around here, since it's so dark and I have a feeling the lights won't be back for a while still...comes in handy.

Now, with that all set up, I'm gonna go out and look for trouble. Can't imagine it's completely safe out there, being so dark, so...trouble, here comes Hanna!!

O-okay. Deal.

[He hurriedly smooths his hair back down over his ears.]

No they're not?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, now they're not, now they've got hair all over them.

[Shrug. Then grin. Oh, Hanna, you oblivious derp.]

C'mon, let's go have an adventure!!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

'Kay. Let's see what this whole Underground thing's about.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Gnee, awesome! Let's go!

[Neil equips himself with a pocket knife, as if that will actually do him any good if they wind up in trouble. But at least it's an optimistic precaution.]

Maybe you should go ahead, because uh. Of how you've been there and know where you're going and stuff. [Yeah. That's why.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh. Uh, yeah, right. Smart.

[Derp.]

[Neil is just gonna... try to focus on the outcome here.]

So, fireworks. Better be some really awesome stuff.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, totally, they'll be really great! I'm good with fireworks.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

What're you planning?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

More deity insulting fireworks, naturally!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

'S awesome. [Big grin.] Don't think I'd have the guts to do that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Nonsense! I think you've got it in you.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Y'think so? Really? [He considers that.] Guess I do have some stuff to get back at 'em for.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You and me together, we can insult them so bad they'll wanna cry!!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Think anyone's ever made 'em cry before?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

First time for everything, right?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Oooooh, and this is a wicked look that comes over his face.]

Yeah. First time for everything.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[And this is a cackle that goes with the evil look so well.]

C'mon, bro, let's get to it.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Lead the way, man.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[And off they go!]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[If Neil is keeping really close, it's definitely just because he's trying to be practical. He is not scared, let the records show.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[But even if he is, Hanna gives him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. It'll be okay, bro.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[That produces a lopsided smile.]

So, what's the worst thing that's ever happened to you in the Underground?

[His plan is that, if he knows the worst-case scenario, he can prepare himself for it. This plan may backfire on him.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...well, there was that time I got trapped on the train during all those murders...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Were you, y'know, okay?
