video; icly late at night what are timezones

[drama8om8]

Hey, nerds. Me and Alan did a thing!

[ There's a distinctly sing-song lilt to that smug little voice. Octavia is looking incredibly overconfident and egotistical tonight, even by her own high standards. She's standing in one of the Dead District's alleyways, her hair is being whipped into even more of a tangle than usual by the wind, and she's displaying a dazzlingly douchey grin.

She's also waving around a gun.

A very powerful and dubiously-legal gun, for those who might know about such things.

Oh dear. ]

Or teeeeeeeechnically we did a few things, I guess? Haha! Check it out - we got spares!

[ She briefly points her phone camera at a small pile of guns on the ground - again, they're all top-of-the-range weapons that absolutely shouldn't be anywhere near someone like Octavia. When the view returns to her face, she looks less cocky and more absolutely fucking delighted. ]

Those Blood Key guys? Surprisingly difficult to mind control. But I did it! Because I am amazing. And Alan is pretty super great at chasing them off with their own guns after they've been headfucked into dropping them. Do we make the best vigilante crime-fighting duo or what?

[ Alan chooses this moment to poke his head into view of the video. His eyebrows, as always, are magnificent. ]

BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING WE ARE BEING CAREFUL ABOUT THIS AND NOT GETTING IN ANY ACTUAL TROUBLE.

[ Then he retreats again, leaving Tavia to end the video feed. ]

[Elian doesn't handwrite this

NO, HE MUST DISPLAY HIS DISAPPROVAL /WITH HIS FACE/]

What have you done.

[ She actually has the decency to look chastised.

Slightly.

For almost five seconds. ]

Didn't you hear Alan? We are being totaly safe about this. We are finding bad guys in like. Pairs! Not huge gangs, that would be dumb. And then I do my mind thing and make them drop their shit and then Alan swoops in and is all "freeze fuckers I AM THE NIGHT" while I keep them subdued and then we take their stuff and make them run away. It's awesome!

[waltharius]

Really? This seemed like a good idea?

[ Massaging his temples. These two are really, really good at giving him sudden migraines. ]

Are you guys just trying to top your last stunt?

video;

[drama8om8]

One, you're doing the face again. The little scrunchyface. The weenieface.

And two, it is a good idea and we have topped our last stunt! We stay hidden and keep our distance until I get a good grip with the mindshit, okay. We are being increeeeeeeedibly careful about this. And we have guns now! So many guns. I could shoot like eight dudes at once with this sweet haul!

[vetala]

Oh my god.
You're going to shoot your eye out. Or someone else's eye out. Someone's eye is getting shot out because I am positive you have no idea how to use a gun.

At least tell me you are wearing a mask of some sort when you do this.

Text;

[drama8om8]

Oh my godddddddd.
Calm your tits! I 8n't actually SHOOTING anything. At least not yet! 8ut I played a LOT of Call of Duty 8efore I was a fugitive. A LOT. And my kill/death r8tio proves I am a8solutely perfectly 100% capa8le of using a gun!
So I 8n't going to shoot any8ody's eye out. Except maaaaaaaay8e the 8ad guys.
(It is only a may8e 8ecause if I shoot their eye out it might trigger me! 8ecause past life shit. Super gross.)

 

And I have a scarf over my chin 8ut seriously if the POLICE can't find me despite knowing my face then neither can these stooges. ::::I

[Yeah. He's. Got nothing. Just a facepalm. Why. Why this.]

[drama8om8]

Are you jelly of my gun stockpile? Or my cool powers? Or both?

[idealofhope]

I feel like I've seen your face before.

Along with a hotline I should call in the scenario that I see you.

[wirsinddiejager]

DO NOT CALL THAT HOTLINE.

WHY

WHY THIS

[drama8om8]

8ecause CAN'T 8E TAMED is why!!!!!!!!
You want a gun? I guess I can save you one! Lol. >::::D

[anequal]

The next time Alan insists he isn't a terrorist I'm just not gonna believe him anymore.

Jesus Christ you two.

video;

[wirsinddiejager]

Uh, taking guns from evil gang members isn't terrorism. It's vigilante justice.

[somesayinfire]

Guys. This is what ex-cons do when they want to drop the ex.

[drama8om8]

Oh my godddddddd we aren't going to get arrested! Because dead district? Illegal gangs? A super marked lack of police presence?

[wonk]

pls for the love of god @ least tell me u know how a gun works + whagt a safety is and shit like that

[drama8om8]

 

 

 

I know how to twirl it around my fingers and look really cool.

voice

[dragon_blossom]

Holy shit. HOLY. SHIT.

[ Just breathe for a moment Marina ol' girl. ]

You got... you stole...

What the fucking... this is insane!

voice

[drama8om8]

We stole from bad guys, and this is insane-ly awesome. There! I fixed your statements for you. You are welcome.

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

[Since Rakka didn't really understand the whole text-audio-written thin yet, Octavia gets to see her face.

Her completely mortified face.]

Wha... What the hell do you think you're doing?!

[Video]

[drama8om8]

I think we are flying up to rooftops, watching out for a couple of evil gang dudes, mind controlling the evil gang dudes into dumping their guns, flying down to the evil gang dudes and taking their shit and then scaring them away.

Duh.

video

[dirtdevil]

[ As much as he prefers to hide behind text, watching Alan's expression change when he sees his face is too funny to miss. With that said, there is pretty much zero surprise on his own face. He already knows these two are fucking crazy. ]

Mind control, huh?

video

[drama8om8]

That's right, Alan's Soulbond Guy Who Is Not Actually A Chick! Mind control. Super awesome powerful fairy mind control! Mind control I would totally use on anybody who tried to beat Alan up.

Like.

Just in case that comes up ever.

Just saying.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Okay I got hand it to you that is pretty badass.

[drama8om8]

I think you mean stupendously amazingly badass. Reaching new heights of badassfulness! Really super majorly badass like whoa.

video;

[honestopinion]

[Chicks with guns....... Jamie can't really complain, k? Still, whow, that's crazy dangerous shouldn't he try and advise them differently?]

I don't think this is a very good idea, guys...
[A video? Right off the bat? Someone growing a little more confident..] You.. can use mind control, Octavia? [I-Is he allowed to call her that? It's always just kinda been 'the fujoshi scum' It almost feels like calling your mother by her first name.]

video;

[drama8om8]

Well, duh. Of course it isn't a very good idea. It is a great idea!

And no duh I can use mind control. And I am sure you are going to be super cool about this fact and not freak out like a wimpy weenie baby! Because you are cool like that. Right?

And it's TAVIA, holy fuck what are you my mom or something.

video

[summit]

Oh my God.

[ He really needs to stop saying that. He claps a hand over his mouth. ] ... Uh, I mean, that's... uh.

video

[drama8om8]

That's what? Badass? Cool? A sweet-ass gun? The best hair you have ever seen? All of the above?

[mood2wiingiing]

we 2hould have just let you stay in jail iif this is what youre going two do now wtf.

[drama8om8]

I think you mean "thank you for taking guns off our streets, Tavia and Alan! You are heroes to humanity." God!
And I guess that means you don't want a gun, if you are going to 8e like THAT. Man. >::::I

[ursoreckless]

Nope. Not jealous.

But you do realize they will figure your tricks out, right?

[drama8om8]

They might figure them out, but they won't be able to resist! They will still just be wimpy-wimp weak little pawns trapped in my web. Yeah!

Plus we're only going to do like one more run before leaving it for a while. We're sensible as shit.

[Voice]

[dododo]

[ Wow all you people flipping out about this.

It's actually pretty brilliant. ]

Are you getting out of there now?

[Voice]

[drama8om8]

Yuh-huh! We are already on our way back to Gavin's place. Because we figured staying out too long or going too often would be super risky! Right?

text;

[pawdacious]

[ Questionable choices? Dubious legality? Highly dangerous weaponry? ]

i approve!

[ Can she send gifs over this thing? Whatever she's going to send one anyway. ]

just make sure you have a safe place to store them that's secretive but easily accessible if need be!

(and of course the standard warning of "not to be used on non-human animals" but those don't look like standard hunting guns anyway)

text;

[drama8om8]

Holy f8ck that's cute as shit.
I mean we are storing them at Gavin's! With my loot pile. At least until we start redistri8uting them!
(If I offer you a gun is Karson going to get pissed? And if the answer is yes, will it 8e the hilarious kind of pissed or the "I WILL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN OCTAVIA GRR RARGH SHOUT RON PAUL" kind????????)

video;

[stagnantair]

[Gavin is halfway between a facepalm and a chinhands.]

Are you bringing them back to my apartment?

video;

[drama8om8]

As long as that's okay, yeah! And don't worry, dude, you can totally keep one for yourself. Maybe two.

[ladyofluminosity]

[There's a long, drawn-out sigh. These two.]

You know, one of these days stuff like this is going to come back and bite you, right?

[drama8om8]

If it bites me, I will bite back! Because, like. I'm a badass. It's what I do.

[detectivetroll]

[...that is the most shocking abuse of gun safety that Nick has seen in a long time, man.]

...please put that down. Don't point the gun at anything, even if you know it's not loaded, unless you're sure you not only want to kill it, but anyone in the near vicinity, including any friends you have nearby and any random people who may be walking by.

I would say get rid of them immediately, but I doubt that's going to work, so how about we compromise with: don't touch them again until you're prepared to learn everything about gun safety. Starting with how not to wave guns around because you think it looks cool and ending with how to never wave guns around for any reason at all. And somewhere along the way, how to use it to defend yourself, if absolutely necessary.

...if you don't know anyone who can show you, I can.

[text]

[drama8om8]

Idk 8ro that sounds pretty 8oring to me.
8oring and lame and I don't get to twirl the guns around and look super awesome!
I reject your compromise and also your face. :::;D

Video

[soulsborderline]

Well, it's better than buying one that can be traced back to you.

[See, she can be positive.]

Do you know how to shoot one of those, though?
