[ Dead air. ]

Now.. how does.. [ beep. ] Uh...

[ Dead air for three minutes. ]


God-damn-it!


Okay -- Hullo? [ He's got the audio working again! ]

Look, if you can hear me.. anyone.. My name's DeWitt, listen.. I don't know what kind of business this place thinks I can handle but this whole fighting a war of the gods and energy sharing thing isn't really something I'm familiar with.

Now.. [ beep; Booker accidentally activated the video function and Asgard gets a quick view of his 1910s brown shoes. The broadcast was soon back on audio only. ] If someone could just.. give me a few pointers I'd be appreciative.

[tonsofpun]

Probably. But I've seen enough shit here to know that they're gonna get completely fucked up if we don't help.

... and the powers they gave us sure are real.

[She gets a little quiet then, lets out a slow sigh.]

Have you ever been in a war?

{ audio }

[alternate123]

That's not the part I doubt, we can be causalities or fallen soldiers in this war of theirs .. it's the consequences reaching my world.. my life before coming here that I'm having a hard time swallowing.

[ Her lowered tone makes him wonder and he doesn't answer for a while. ]

.. I'm going to fight. I'm not here to die. [ He isn't sure if she's upset and if she is then he thinks it might be his defiant attitude toward the gods and this circumstance. He'd probably feel the same if some asshole came into his war and told him it was a pointless endeavor next to down right mockery. Especially after already so many good soldiers had fallen, after all the shit he's seen.. all the shit he's done. ]

Pardon me kid, I'm more pissed off than likely have right to be.. on account that you've been in this war .. and I'm new -- well, new again to it.

Yeah, I been in a war..

{ audio }

[tonsofpun]

S'fair. I was plenty pissed off when I got here too.

[It only makes sense, but the way she talks about it is a little stilted, like she gets where he's coming from, but it still frustrates her.]

Basically, if Thiazi wins this war, everything's gonna spill over. All of our worlds are going to get fucked up, too.

[alternate123]

[ First thought: Well, that's all depending on who you ask.. me? My world's fucked up enough as it is. This kid's got a mouth on her--second thought. Booker snorts. ]

Hn.. [ Well, .. there are better people to call than myself. Maybe they need some nefarious work done.. ]

... hm. [ He struggles to find something to say... ] Well, .. it's not like we have a fair choice then huh.

{ audio }

[tonsofpun]

Yeah, that's the part I'm still kind pissed about. No choice, no matter what.

I mean, I guess we do, but if you don't help you look like the asshole. Never mind basically being kidnapped and drafted, but whatever.

{ audio }

[alternate123]

[ Snorts. ] Yeah, well.. I'm plenty well qualified in my many other qualities to fulfill that representation.

But if it does come down to life or death I'm going to choose life.

{ audio }

[tonsofpun]

Haha, you better.

Lemme tell you, that's not gonna be easy out here. Heads up.

{ audio }

[alternate123]

What? Being an asshole or living?

{ audio }

[tonsofpun]

Living. Being an asshole's always easy.

[She miiight be about to laugh.]

{ audio }

[alternate123]

Oh, it comes with very little exertion for sure. A natural quality even.

[ Yeah, this kid's alright. Good sense of humor. Odd.. that it's my sense of humor.. ]

{ audio }

[tonsofpun]

Ah, self-aware.

[And now she's finally beginning to laugh. Booker can stay.]
