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!!

[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.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[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

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[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.
