[--THUD]

[... after what sounds like the crashlanding of the century, there are a few loud bumps agains the mic; what sounds uncannily like a confused chicken; and finally everything unmuffles as whatever was on the communicator moves off]

O-Ow! What the hell was I-- Hey, what is this? This isn't the cellphone! Where's my freakin'--

[rattle rattle rattle smack]

[BANG BANG BANG BANG]

COUGH IT UP, YOU PIECE OF JUNK! I ACTUALLY NEED THAT THING SOMETIMES!

[...]

All right. Have it your way.

[an intake of breath]

HEY, UGLY! YOU DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE, NO-GOOD, BANANAS-FOR-BRAINS OLD HAG!!

[pant pant]

I BET THIS IS YOU AGAIN, ISN'T IT?! THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!? I DON'T EVEN-- [a pause] ... THIS ISN'T THE DEMON WORLD!

[another pause] So... it's the human world, right? With their dumb sun and everything. But I was just there -- hey, ugly, you better explain! I don't know that many places in the human world, you know!

[...]

... Ugly? [BANG] Hey, is this thing even working? HEY--

[click!]

[have an extreme closeup of one red eye peering suspiciously in general direction of the camera]

[a long moment later, the image tilts wildly as he lets it fall carelessly to the ground]

Useless thing! What am I supposed to--

[there's a clatter as he throws the device]

Who are you? You from the Resistance?! Stop hiding in the box and come on out!

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

[ He blinks trying to realize what just happened. When he does he sort of laughs]

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

Wh-What?!

You're all talk, dammit. I told you to come out!

[here, communicator, have a kick, too]

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

such a spirited young man.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

I said I'm not a kid!

[but you won't distract him from the real topic!]

[CLONK CLONK CLONK CLONK]

[... so now he's stomping on the communicator]

If you won't come out I'll just have to blow your house down!

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid you'll only hurt yourself this way, young one.

[... suddenly, an idea!]

[there is abruptly total radio silence, and nothing moving on the communicator]

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

You alright kid?

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[have the very loud concussive noise of boy landing on communicator]

GOTCHA--!!

... Hm?

[all you get is part of his palm and a few brief flashes of white]

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

[..... Long pause and then..



what is that is that genuine laughter?]

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[snarl]

Yeah, you got away that time! Next time you won't be so lucky! Coward!

[glareglareglare -- you get the red and the gold eye this time]

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Ah... perhaps you should meet me in person and not destroy your communicator?

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[points indignantly at the screen] Yeah, that'd be the idea! So why don't you just--

[...]

Communicator?

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Ah, sort of like a cellphone with a recorder function and video.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

...

SO YOU DON'T LIVE IN IT, DO YOU?!

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid not.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS FOR BEING A COWARD AND A LIAR!!

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Ah, I apologize young man.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

STOP CALLING ME THAT.

[pant pant from all the yelling]

... WHERE ARE YOU, ANYWAY?!

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

In bed right now.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

Hmph. If you don't wanna be attacked in your sleep you better come out here!

[WE WILL KUNG FU FIGHT THAT'S RIGHT]

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure where you are, young one.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[........ good point. where is he, anyway?]

... The sign says Lidd-- Liddet?

Y-You should know this place anyway!

[video]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Ah.. I believe I know that place.
