005: [Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Victor isn't a happy lizard right now. He looks tired and annoyed but he offers a wave to the camera before he starts talking.]

The rationing is bad enough but on top of that, my boss seems like he's trying to be as irritable as Wolverine usually is. All this mold that showed up is getting on my nerves too. Cleaning it up at work and the coming home to clean it up here is just too much. [He shakes his head.] Add in the cracks showing up all over the place and this annoying fog that's been showing up for the past few nights and I'm ready to get out of here.

Is there anyone out there that's got some extra room and wouldn't mind if Santo and I crashed with them for awhile? [He's worried about Santo and his big rocky self.] At least until whatever is going on stops?

Then we both agree on moving. To the Water Sector for awhile?

No, that's something for your doctor to do!

Yeah... I don't know what's going on in the other districts, but if you think that's what we need to do, then I'm obviously going with you.

... Do you see Beast or, go forbid, Nemesis or Rao here?

I haven't seen anyone mention Water Sector falling apart and we got offered a place there so, pack your stuff.

[He just facepalms again.] Santo...just wash the area to be safe.

[zerotoawesome]

... Are you ashamed of me and my STD?

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Victor's just going to glare for a few moments.]

Come over here when you're finished packing.

[zerotoawesome]

So you can punch me? I think I'm safer over here in my crumbling room.

[alpha_squad_leader]

I'm not going to punch you. It's so we can head over to the new place.

Re: video;

[zerotoawesome]

I don't believe you, dude... At all. [He just stars for a moment before starting to get up.] I'll be over a few minutes, so leave your door open. Not like I have a lot to pack after all.

How nice of you to have faith in me. [He rolls his eyes.] See you in a few minutes. [He turns off the console.]

[zerotoawesome]

[Sure enough, a few minutes later, and Santo is standing at the door, with a small knapsack tossed over his shoulder. I looked mostly empty, but all Santo had to pack was just a couple shirts and then whatever rations he had left because he couldn't sneak them in with Victor's.]

Okay, let's get this over with. [He says and he puffs out his chest a little, ready for the punch.]

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Victor's packing two bags when Santo arrives. One for clothes and one for rations and everything else.]

Get what over with?

action

[zerotoawesome]

Hurry up and punch me so we can move on to other things.

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

[He rolls his eyes.] I told you I wasn't going to punch you, Santo.

action

[zerotoawesome]

Wait you were actually serious?

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Victor looks up from zipping up his bag.]

Of course I was serious.

action

[zerotoawesome]

I... Really? [Well now this is awkward.] I actually don't know where to go from here then.

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Victor just gives Santo an odd look as he picks the bags up.]

I was thinking we'd get going over to the other sector.

action

[zerotoawesome]

[Santo holds out his hand, expecting Victor to hand the bags over to him.]

Man, hopefully the other sector isn't as bad as ours... I'm gonna miss our cave, though.

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Vic hands over one of the bags but keeps the other on his shoulder.]

No one mentioned the Water Sector being as messed up as ours is getting. Hopefully we'll be able to come back.

action

[zerotoawesome]

[Too bad, Victor, because he's taking both and slipping them over his shoulder.]

As long as we're not in a house that could collapse and crush you, then I guess it'll be okay. I wonder why this is happening though.

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

[This gets Victor picked up too. At least until he wriggles free of the bag's strap and falls. Thankfully he catches himself and shoots Santo a long look. Walking with him, he makes sure the doors are all locked up before following Santo into the streets.

I'm going to guess this is the Emperor's fault. Somehow. [He really doesn't like her.]

Re: action

[zerotoawesome]

[Santo thought it was kind of funny, and it's not like Victor is heavy at all to him.]

I'm pretty much blaming everything on her from now on.

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

Most things can probably be traced back to her somehow. And if she's no behind them, she's probably making them worse. Like this whole rationing thing. Taking money on top of food and supplies just reeks of there being something fishy going on.

action

[zerotoawesome]

I'm blaming everything on her. The house is molding? Blame her. It's cloudy today? Blame her? You're still not getting any? That's totally her fault too.

[He sighs.] It's not right for her to just take everything from us, and to starve us on top of it... I'm giving you my rations, by the way.

action

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Now Santo does get punched. He knows for what part.]

No, it's not right at all. And I get the feeling there's trouble brewing...or she's trying to provoke it. [He rolls his eyes.] Yes, I noticed you trying to sneak them into my stuff. I've been putting back some so you don't starve yourself.
