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!!

[There is something unreadable in Neil's expression, and he's quiet for a moment... then he seems to shake it off.]

Thanks, man. It's cool that you think so.

These 2 clearly just need to have sex already.

[Hanna just smiles and nods at Neil, before nodding over to a sleazy looking shop.]

Let's try here!!

XD IKR. ....if i had drawn fanart, would that be weird??

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Neil looks at the less-than-reputable-looking storefront, gulps, and then steels himself.]

Right. Let's do this thing.

Noo, that'd be awesome!! :D

[Hanna just nods and puts a comforting hand on Neil's shoulder.]

The sooner we do this, the sooner we can leave.

[Neil nods in resolve, and forms a determined fist in front of his face.]

Right.

[Onward!]

...fuck that's adorable. :D

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[And off they go, to pick up black powder in the sketchy store. Oddly enough, they don't really have any trouble getting it...weird.]

='D thank you! <3

[Neil's heart is pounding slightly, but his face lights up in a classic Everything-Went-Better-Than-Expected! expression.]

Now we... just have to get out of here, eh?

:D it really is quite nice, dude! I like.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...but hey, we're halfway done, right?

<3 <3!!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah. So far so good.

We can probably make a pretty long fuse with this stuff.

Re: <3 <3!!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I think...we're gonna get a good bang out of this!

...lol 'a good bang'. the way a snorted at that is a sign of how very mature i am.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Conspiratorial grin.]

'S gonna be epic.

LOL WE R MATURE.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

SO epic, man.

[Hanna laughs and puts on his best wicked grin.]

the MOST mature.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Okay, the scared thing is passing and giving way to excitement.]

Y'know, Stephen's awesome but he'd never do stuff like this.

We are ADULTS. RRRGH.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. He's great, but Stephen can be sort of a buzzkill sometimes.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I dunno. He's too... smart sometimes. Or whatever.

[What Neil kind of means is 'sensible' or 'practical' but 'smart' works.]

'S cool, y'know. To have... other friends. Different.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

He's practical, yeah...but that's not always fun or adventurous.

[Hanna pauses, and nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, it's really nice. 's why I like this place, you know?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Someone who gets it! You're awesome, Hanna.]

Yeah! Yeah. I mean, at home, was just the same people, 'nd some of 'em liked me okay, some didn't. But here, 's like I have a whole ton more chances or something.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[YOU TOTALLY GET HIM BRO. Hanna nods and smiles.]

I know exactly how you feel, dude.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[HE WOULD TOTALLY HUG YOU RIGHT NOW EXCEPT THAT WOULD BE KINDA GAY, SO.]

Let's blow some stuff up.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[SAVE THE HUGGING FOR THE WEEKEND.]

I like the way you think, man.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Need help carrying that or anything?

[He wants to be helpful...]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Uh...sure, you can help me carrying some stuff...I appreciate that, man.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Yay, Neil gets to help. He is happy. Like a puppy.]

Sure thing. So uh, hey, we're not dead yet.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm just as shocked as you are!!
