Eighteenth Power - Video

[thecrowingtobe]

[Video of the boy sitting at a work space, somewhere at home. He is surrounded by... parts. Mechanical parts. And the body of what looks like a robotic dog that has been disassembled and being pieced back together. At the moment it is about the size of a Dalmatian...]

[The boy looks a little... flat. upset even, but not angry. He has a hind leg in his hand, all metal parts and wires. With his goggles on his head he talks down to the leg, but speaking to the video]

So...Birthday plans went well this week. Thanks guys. especially you, Trauma. And yes, that’s the best thanks you’ll get from me.

[there is a click of metal and the leg kicked twice, settled and he sat it down. Leaning on his knees now he looked to the video]

So, I’m looking for my mother. Cambria? Who saw her last? Anyone? Tried giving her a call today but it’s disconnected. [he rubbed his nose, glancing off to the side, clearly annoyed.] Not that it’s important or anything. Probably got sent home, but... thought I’d check.

Anyhow... So, who wants to go drinking tomorrow? I mean it. [he reached out to flick his device off, looking as if he’s trying not to be disappointed. Anyone who hacks (or is in the house) might find/hear a small attacked voice note, private to Cambria, simply saying “Mom? If you hear this... say something, huh?”]

[ A sympathetic look. ] There's always a chance she could come back.

[ Not that it was very likely. ]

Like you keep coming back? [he'd seen her come and go a few times] Yeah... I know. I was hoping she would just... come and stay.

Maybe.

If you want somebody to be your designated driver, I'll go out drinking with you.

The DD has no fun at all. Better to drink as a group anyhow, right? Besides, I'm pretty good about driving when drunk, as in I leave the car at home. No worries. I'm dumb but not that bad. But... I wouldn't refuse having a pretty girl come drink with me.

[and that wasn't even him flirting. As much as he had a crush on her for a while there, something about Claire isn't on that level. he's just being Claudio.]

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't get drunk. One of the 'perks' of regeneration.

I can still have fun sober. [ Watching Claudio stumble around and forget how sentence structures work. ]

[Claudio and sentence structure? Pfft. Who needs them.]

Man, that has to suck sometimes. Takes me forever to feel anything, all things considered, but eh... it's not bad. I don't envy you and your power actually. [he likes feeling pain sometimes, when he's upset. ---don't ask]

And I suppose that's true. You can come and laugh at the idiots who are drunk.

[ :c claudiooo. ]

I don't want you to. It's more trouble than it's worth sometimes. [ Like when Sylar decides to cut open her head. ]

Maybe make a few bucks on the side in a drinking contest, too.

[Yeah, no, he's fine with being robotic jesus compared to her powers, thanks...] Well... at least you'll never be ugly or scarred or anything. [says the boy with a huge scar from eye to jaw down his face.... while grinning at the video]

You know, that's not a bad idea and I have tried it before but the problem is... other people have had the same Idea. Then it just turns into an expensive pissing contest.

Re: video; private; extremely difficult to hack

[ she grins. ] It's only expensive if you do it with somebody who hasn't brought their own bottle.
