No. No. NO!

[The video is an absolute blur, but there is definitely destruction happening. The tinkle of broken glass, loud thumps and cracks that sound a lot like furniture being hit with blunt objects - anything you'd associate with a house being utterly totalled from the inside can be heard through the maelstrom.

Then it stills, and one red-faced, absolutely apoplectic Pyro is visible in the middle of his path of destruction.]

You assholes. You stupid fucking assholes. If you were so almighty, we wouldn't be any threat to you, would we? So why the hell take them away? Curse me. Make me think I'm Stryker, I don't care. Just bring them back, and do it now.

[It doesn't matter how many times he's told others that people come back. That's it's random. That they're better off. This is his fucking leader and second-in-command, two of the mutants he admires above all others, and they're both gone. If someone doesn't talk him down soon, he'll be paying off the damages on a burnt-down paid residence for the rest of his time in Asgard.]

((ooc: backtags are coming, but this huge of a drop had to be referenced. also, if any gods want to garnish his wages for the damage or anything, consequences are obviously expected for this.))

[ She can understand this kind of rage. Has been feeling a good bit of it herself since Leto was sent home, though she hasn't been acting out as aggressively as Pyro is currently doing. ]

Pyro, what's happened?

[ Not that she can't guess, but it seems like the best way to start things, should he decide to answer her. ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

They're both gone. [He's panting, his whole body shaking with rage.] Magneto and Mystique. The only two who could -

[Keep him grounded. Remind him what he has to do. Fight the gods here. So much, so incredibly much.]

- my leaders. They're gone.

[daddyissues]

[ Oh god, Pyro, now what? Connor can guess, but... he can also guess that the amount of property damage going on needs addressing and it's unlikely Pyro will answer his bracelet coherently.

Guess who's coming over and just letting himself in. Follow the sound of crashing? ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[His voice is audible as well, now that he's talking to others on the network - he can be found in the kitchen, but watch your step. There's glass and crockery everywhere.]

[redhourglass]

something happen?

[ this will have to do until she can track down his location based on his video; she's already on her way, navigating rooftops and back stairs through the city, glancing at the feed for possible reference points. dammit, where are you? ]

[It's a high-end house, and if she catches sight of the drapery, it's in Freya's colour. But the visual feed cuts soon after that.]

What was your first clue?

[asgardsstrength]

We lose hold of people - they slip back through the cracks, we don't send them away, you whingy little brat. I'd've had you sent on back long ago if we had any real say in this matter.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Don't fuck with me right now, Thor. Not now. I've got enough gas to get most of this district burning without any mutations.

[necrowmantic]

With that much destruction, you should be having a better time~

[What is grief, anyway.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Kid, now's not the time. [There's so much rage barely kept in check. He looks like he could explode.]

[occulthymns]

[This is far too reminiscent of when Kaz left. So while she's still upset about other things - the shop, namely - she's empathetic and worried about him.]

Pyro...?

audio;

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[It's a good thing she always chooses audio, because he flicks his visual feed off at the sound of her voice, just in time to miss him utterly crumbling.]

Both of them, Euri. At the same time.

[pushesgently]

Calm yourself. This does no good for you or them.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He lets out a clipped, bitter laugh.]

Nothing does any good around here, does it? You think government's bad, you think the army's bad, then you meet gods.

[At least he's stopped throwing and smashing for the moment.]

voice;

[dyingisnotdead]

...they do this on purpose, you know.

voice;

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You.

[There's no particular edge behind it, no emotion - just acknowledgement.]

Keep us off-balance. Needing them for more and more. It's sick as hell.

[sharingone]

What's up with you?

[That's... almost concern. Almost.]

Audio | Private

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Fuckers. [A low, dangerous growl.]

He's gone. Magneto. And Mystique. I'm the only one left from the Brotherhood.

[And he was a member in his own world for about an hour.]

Video

[samantha_grey]

Stop that, Pyro. Wherever you are, that place doesn't have anything to do with this. Who's gone?

[Her tone carries a hint, an edge of concern to it, though it's clear she's not a fan of his coping mechanism. Of course, she's being a little hypocritical. The wrong disappearance, and she'd be trying to burn one of the shrines themselves down.]

Video

[ex_outofcontrol435]

This place doesn't mean shit to me anymore. It's not like I can live here alone.

Who do you think's gone?

[He almost says 'Your secret's safe, at least,' but it's too important to use as snark. Especially on an open network.]

[Private – Audio]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[He’s going to make an educated guess on this.] Your allies?

[And then, his tone takes on an authoritative edge.] Calm yourself. You are wasting your energy. The gods will not obey your command without something to gain in return.

[Private – Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

They'll never obey anyone, they don't even listen unless it'll screw things up somehow. And they lie through their damn teeth.

[As if this isn't a targeted attack. It's so blatant that Pyro almost wants to laugh.]

Yeah.

[conquering]

You will stop this, Pyro.

[ her voice is stern and steely. ]

Do not show them they have this advantage over you, do not. They will consider it a victory and it is not their own to be had.

[Okay, he actually feels a bit chastised at that, and it annoys him. But she's got a point.]

I swear to god, I'll kill them all with my bare hands. I don't care if I die a thousand times trying.

[There won't be much coming from Soushi's side as he begins to watch the video of Pyro losing his mind over and over and over again. It was difficult to decipher Soushi's feelings over the matter. He did not feel much except envy as he watch the younger man allow himself to lose into his emotions. It was clear that he could not and would never fall into such a state as he did not fully understand emotions. To make certain in masking the tone, he decided to use the text options of the device as he finally decides to send the other a message.]

Pyro-san. Where do you currently live in? In which district do you currently dwell in?

[Yup. That is all he is going to say because he pretty much can tell everyone has summed up what most people would say.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Nowhere now. I can't afford this place alone.

But I'm in Freya right now.

[ Video | Filtered ]

[congeals]

Calm down, man. What's going on?

[ Video | Filtered ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Like you can't guess.

You're probably over the moon, huh? Finally, you get your chance to be rid of the bad influence on me. I can be who I was again now. Right?

[He's trying hard to make it sound like a real challenge, but he still just sounds tired beneath the vitriol. This place is draining him.]

[wontbeforgotten]

[Okay, woah. She gets being pissed off about people leaving. She does. Kara doesn't even quite get who or what 'stryker' is. But frak. Already it looks like he's been taking out his anger and frustration. Which she doesn't entirely disagree with, but Kara doesn't want anyone else caught up in it and getting hurt either.]

I don't know that this will do any good but possibly piss the gods off more. As much as I wish they would listen to you or any of us about who they bring here or send back. Where are you? Talk to me.

Video;

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I don't give a crap about the gods and their hissy fits. They can do what they want with me, but I'm not putting up with this.

[A sigh. But pissing them off more will make them less likely to listen to him - yeah, he's gotten that.]

Freya. What used to be my house. But I'll live on the streets here before I'll go back to that boarding house.

audio.

[pigface]

Who did they take? [ And who is Stryker? ]

audio.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Two-thirds of the Brotherhood. My allies. The only other mutants here who actually gave a crap about what they did to us.

[digophelia]

[This is a look of concern, okay.]

I'm afraid your demands will be in vain.

video;

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I know, man, I know. That just makes it worse. I've had enough.

video;

[reaction]

[ Here's a guy who can care less about the fact that someone on the network is all upset. ] Tsk, tsk. Let me know if that demand of yours works. Wouldn't mind asking for a thing or two myself.

video;

[ex_outofcontrol435]

They'll be responding to a lot more demands than that when I'm done with 'em. I'll put you on the list.
