@ketximq; video; Day 164

[mightyratslayer]

Hey, Watson. Some guy on the obituary said some shit went down with you and Charles and Bucky in the aquarium and, um, he kinda made it sound like you're in pretty bad shape. You doing okay? I owe you one, so hit me up if there's anything I can do, alright?

[There's a bit of a delay while Watson both tries to plot murder and goes to check what's being said.

Oh.

Wonderful. Christ.]

I'm not in top shape, no. I'm with someone who's helping me, though. Thanks for the offer. How are you doing, Charlie?

[Deflect, deflect, deflect.]

[mightyratslayer]

[Lucky for Watson, Charlie is hyper suspicious today and is not that easily sated!]

I'm fine. Who's helping you?

[jumpthegun]

Quark's here, and I've got another friend.

[A nameless friend of nameless-ness.]

[mightyratslayer]

[Watson...]

Uh huh. And would that friend happen to be Bucky?

[jumpthegun]

[Damn you, Charlie! Be less perceptive when it matters.]











Yeah. It's fine. He's helping me.

[mightyratslayer]

[no!!!]

Alright, well, that doesn't sound like "fine" to me. But Bucky sounds like he's trying pretty hard not to kick the shit outta people anymore, so I guess if you say it's fine, then okay. I trust you. [Reluctantly.]

I gotta be real though, man. I don't love that Quark's with you two.

[jumpthegun]

I don't, either. But the alternative was him being on his own. He was stuck in that hospital by himself for days. I'm not just leaving him there.

[mightyratslayer]

[Charlie sighs. How the hell did he get stuck there? Goddammit. Whatever. That's an issue that's already resolved.]

Good call. Where are you heading? I'm south of the school so I can take Quark if you're coming up this way.

[jumpthegun]

We're in the pharmacy heading north. We should make it to the entrance of the tunnels tomorrow around lockdown. I'd really appreciate you taking Quark from there, Charlie. Are you with anyone else?

[mightyratslayer]

[Charlie takes a moment to consult the map before responding.]

Hm... Okay, I think I'm close enough to meet you there. Unless you think I should hang back and swipe Quark the next morning. [He's not sure Bucky will want to spend another night locked down with him.]

I'm by myself.

[jumpthegun]

I can let Bucky know you're coming. If you don't feel safe with him, though, we can leave if for the next day with you and Quark.

[mightyratslayer]

[Charlie isn't the calmest about meeting up with Bucky again, but he stands by what he said; Bucky's not a threat if he's not provoked.]

Nah, it'll be fine as long as Bucky's cool with it. I'll see you tomorrow, then?

[jumpthegun]

Yeah. I'll give you a heads up if we need to push it out a day. Thanks, Charlie.

[mightyratslayer]

Anytime, dude. See ya.
