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?

[Kaldur debates speaking up at first, as he does not know this boy or the one he is speaking for. But he is not one for sitting idly buy when others are in need either. It is not their way. So have a dark-skinned boy with gills who doesn't bother trying to hide them.]

If it is alternate accommodations you are seeking, I do believe that there is a vacant suite in my own block in Water Sector. [He will speak with Queen Mera, as it is her suite originally, he recalls.]

Dude! What if I start to get moldy too!?

[The longest pause ever.]

I think I can feel it happening already! I need a shower so bad.

[Victor's a bit curious about the gills but he doesn't comment on them.]

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Somewhere to stay that isn't falling apart and getting moldy. [He smiles a bit.] That sounds good. I need to ask Santo if he's okay with heading to the Water Sector first though.

A power washing would be better than a shower.

[He's worried about you getting moldy too, Santo.]

[video]

[apologiesmyking]

I believe I can speak to Queen Mera about the extra suite. Given her nature, I cannot see why she would deny you use of it.

[zerotoawesome]

You have to help hose me off, man. I think it's moving all over me!

[Even though there's nothing there at all. It's all in Santo's head.]

[video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

Queen Mera? [He has no idea who that is.] Thanks for this, by the way. It's really helpful.

[alpha_squad_leader]

Mold doesn't work that way, Santo.

video;

[zerotoawesome]

Growing, then. Is that how it works?

video;

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Vic sighs. He worries about you, Santo. You just give him a headache sometimes.]

Santo, do you see anything growing on you right now?

video;

[zerotoawesome]

No... But I can't see my whole body either. What if it's on my back or between my legs?

[wintershepherd]

I've seen the mold on the buildings when I'm out at night. I tried freezing it off but it didn't work that well.

Have you guys found somewhere to stay yet?

She is the Queen of Atlantis in the world I am from. [Even if this Mera is not from his world, she is still the Queen and he will treat her with all due respect.] The suite is hers, but unused. A thanks is truly not needed, but you are welcome.

[alpha_squad_leader]

The only thing that seems to work is a lot of scrubbing.

[He nods.] It looks like we're going to end up in the Water Sector for awhile.

[alpha_squad_leader]

I'll check your back but you're on your own for below deck.

[wintershepherd]

Figures! I can break a thermometer but I can't beat mold! My pride is suffering here, Victor. Suffering.

I'm glad. I'd have offered for both of you but I keep my place a little on the chilly side for you, I think.

[video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

The Queen of Atlantis? [He's surprised to hear that. Atlantis had no queen where he's from.] Wow. Well, I'll be sure to thank her too.

[He nods.] I'm Victor, by the way.

video;

[alpha_squad_leader]

We can't have that. We'll have to find some way for your pride to recover!

[He laughs a little.] Santo could handle it but I don't think anyone wants a lizardsicle.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

I dunno~ that might take some trying...

Yeah, I know. But it's not so bad now, right? With the weather warming up?

video;

[alpha_squad_leader]

We'd better get trying then. [He smiles.]

I just hope we get some sun and a lot of it.

video;

[zerotoawesome]

You're no fun at all, dude. I bet you'd offer if I looked like Hulkling.

video;

[alpha_squad_leader]

It's not about how you look, Santo.

video;

[zerotoawesome]

It's not?

video;

[alpha_squad_leader]

[He facepalms.]

I am not checking your junk out, Santo.

Re: video;

[zerotoawesome]

I know that!

You could have at least offered, though... [huff huff.]
