[The screen displays black for several seconds before flickering into scrolling, illegible symbols-- unless you can read Reach, of course. They begin slowly at first, but at the fifteen second mark they've filled the screen: the text speeds across the display in multiple directions in blurry blue lines.]

[requested entries no longer in database. attempt system override?]

[There's a moment or two where the text continues-- but then, abruptly, the strange alien lettering freezes. There's a harsh whirring, like a CD's gotten stuck in its player.

It's not a good sound, in any case.]

[ABORT ABORT ABORT--] [blares a voice, and there's about half a second of a partially-transformed Blue Beetle shielding his face and stumbling backward in a hurry. The screen's filled with a bright blue light, and then the feed cuts out completely once more.

Someone's gonna need a new console.]

(ooc: Jaime's just tried to hack into the console searching for the source of old Malicant posts! clearly it did not go as planned. feel free to have heard the ruckus if you're in the Wood sector; any network replies will come from a cafe console later on.)

[First this mysterious fog, and then strange writing on the console? Never mind that it's different from the previous instances Malicant was around - anything strange on the network is worth investigation, especially if it's technological in nature. More weapons for the enemy.]

[The glimpse of the face on the other end is brief, and even with Monet's sharp eyes she misses that - instead looks at the console ID, and goes to track down this potential threat. She lands in Wood Sector, and determinedly walks the rest of the way to the source.]

[To his defense, he was only trying to help! Which doesn't really change the fact that he completely blew up his console, but roads to hell and good intentions and so on.

Jaime's in WO-1B. Just outside WO-1B, rather. As Monet approaches he's just bolted out his door, looking obviously frazzled and with a bit of gross console-goo stuck to his shirt.

Being inconspicuous isn't one of his strong points.]

You there!

[She strides towards him, not furious, precisely, but radiating irritation.]

What do you think you're doing?

[Subtlety isn't one of her strong points...]

Nothing! I just--

[Oh god he's just noticed the console gloop on him. He flashes a grin that's too freaked to be entirely innocent, and leans against the doorframe with his arms crossed to cover the stain as much as possible.]

--I wanted some fresh air? Still really gross and foggy out, though. Weird, right? Ha, ha. Ha.

Edited 2014-02-11 05:06 (UTC)

And someone let you outside looking like — [she frowns, she's in telepathic range and there's something seriously weird about this kid.]

Who else is here?

[Crap.]

I-- I don't have any roommates. Nothing to see here. Ma'am.

[At some point, he'll stop valuing the sanctity of the secret identity around other capes, but today is very much not that day.]

Are you all right?

[That there was something vaguely familiar in all that is secondary.]

[About half an hour later, and from a different console--]

Peachy.

[At least he got out of wherever he was…]

What was that?

Well, have you been outside today? I was thinking that whatever it is had something to do with... Voldemal. So I was trying to see if I could get into the console and find the source of some of the broadcasts it'd made a few months back.

It didn't work.

I've seen the fog, if that's what you mean. [It's about the only thing he could see out there. As to Blue Beetle's theory, it isn't too far-fetched. ]

Did you have a plan B? With less explosions.

Edited 2014-02-11 22:04 (UTC)

Uh...

That sort of was Plan B. I mean, Plan A is still sort of in effect, so it's more like a Plan A.5. Or A.i.? One of those.

[ Cassie saw that post, but the odd text didn't ring any bells. ]

[ However, when she tried to contact Jaime later, just to see what he's up to (he's barely come back, but, after Billy leaving... she's keeping an eye on people, as much as she can), she couldn't get through to him, the console reporting, oddly enough, a malfunction. So she does what a girl would do - picks up some chocolate and goes over to see if everything's okay. ]

[ The smell can be felt even from outside the tree, so she picks up her pace, leaning forward a little as she knocks on the door. ]

Jaime? Everything okay?

[At this point, he's been fully carted around his own room by Monet and is largely free of gross console goop, but now... he's faced with the issue of how to disguise the fact that he's got a broken console.

Which would be way easier if he didn't have visitors, but. Can't win all your battles, now, can you?]

Uh, I'm fine! [He pokes his head out the door to greet Cassie in a way that is totally not suspicious.] I just. Tried out a kedan recipe and screwed it up.

[Smooth.]

[ Beat. Then she can't help a sneeze. ]

It kinda stinks. You sure you wanna be meddling with this kind of recipe for real?

... and wanna eat somewhere out or something, in that case? I can help you with cleaning.

Salud. Also, eating out would be great.

[Jaime casts a look back at the ruined console with narrowed eyes.]

Um... one sec.

[Bolting back inside, he seizes the nearest blanket and covers the console, then bolts right back outside with an angelically innocent expression on his face. (Yeah, right.)]

Okay! We can just. Take care of that later. It'll be fine, I'm soaking everything.

[ Cassie laughs, a little, then shakes her head, reaching to give Jaime's hand an easy squeeze when he comes back out, and tilts her chin down the street. ]

All right, then. And, really. We should sit down and I can show you safety cooking tips. I've been making stuff for daddy for ages!

[ She kind of loves cooking, even if the meals prepared by her can be a little eccentric. And she'll certainly share her knowledge, if Jaime sticks to the cooking story. ]

[He's a little surprised when she takes his hand, but he squeezes back, looking somewhat reassured.]

At least somebody's a cook around here. But yeah, let's get out of here-- you lead.

[He's never seen Cassie's cooking before. God help him.]

werethatgood - 2014-03-27 10:27 (UTC) - Expand

That escalated quickly.

At least I tried?

Tried what, exactly?

I was looking for something in the console. The console didn't like it.

Well, when you start throwing around random symbols into a computer system, the not recognizing the code tends to drive them nuts and, y'know, explode.

[ Lucky for Jaime, the one and only Wild Tiger just happens to be in the neighborhood... with grocery, but that's of no consequence. Errands or no, he is more than willing to help anyone one in need at the drop of a hat!

So, when a digital voice begins to blast out from a nearby treehouse, Kotetsu stops in his tracks and wonders what in the hell someone needs to ABORT! and why? Then he hears something akin to a surprised yelp and that's all it takes for him to snap into action.

He immediately attaches his domino mask, drops his groceries, and activates his NEXT power. In an instance he hurls himself forward and breaks through the window of the house with a rough shout. Using a door is just too slow! ]

[And lo and behold, there is an extremely alarmed Blue Beetle-- er, Jaime Reyes, though still halfway in Blue Beetle attire-- fallen over on his butt in front of the now-gooified wall console.

He stares at Kotetsu, and at his broken console

then back at Kotetsu

then back at the console

then right back at Kotetsu, his mouth hanging half-open dumbly.]

Dude! My door!

[...is the first thought that comes to his mind in his state of shock. Property damage first, whether he's been goo-poisoned later]
