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!!

Especially in the Underground.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

Were you... with the train thing. That was probably pretty freaky, eh?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

He nods, shuddering a bit.

"Yeah...yeah, it was pretty freaky. But I've seen plenty of freaky in my day..."

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

So you weren't, uh... scared?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, sure, I was scared...but you can't let the other guy know that...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Right, yeah, yeah. [He says it like that's granted, but his eyes are telling a different story-- he's in awe.]

S-so, uh. Any idea where to find the stuff?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Hanna smiles at Neil, before frowning slightly.]

Well, there's plenty of sketchy shops here...so I'd guess its gotta be one of these...?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

O-okay.

[He crosses his arms and smiles nervously.]

'S kinda like we're on a drug run or something. I mean, not like we're... but, y'know. Shady.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know...it's kinda fun, though, isn't it?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I never got to do anything like this before.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, think of it as your intro into City adventuring!!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Sure. Link heading out on the King of Red Lions for the first time.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

We just need to get you some green tights now.

[He grins and laughs at that.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Neil smirks.]

Cosplayed as 'im once. At a con.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Really? You got any pictures?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

No way, man. Not here, anyway. My luck though, they'll end up showin' up on the network at some point when I least suspect it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No shame in that, though...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Maybe not to you. There's... other people I wouldn't really want getting their hands on that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't let what other people think bother you, Neil...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[But... that's practically all he ever thinks about!]

Yeah, I mean, I guess...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, try not to, okay? It's no fun, going through life worrying about everybody's opinion...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

You're prob'ly right. 'S just, I don't want people to think I'm lame or dumb or something, y'know?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Neil? You're not lame, at all. Trust me.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[He raises his eyebrows. Not that it's easy to tell under that mop of hair.]

Yeah?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, really.
