tvk | Unit 2 - Video and Voice : Hotel

[[ooc : Italics is the shadow, normal writing is Gaignun himself.]]

[Surprisingly, its at the hotel that the video clicks on. He had only been meaning to make a call to check up on his brothers when his finger had slipped to the 'video-all' button when he was startled by his shadow suddenly materializing out of who knows where. The phone is forgotten and you're treated to a nice view of the ceiling for this discussion.]

There you are, you're a difficult person for even yourself to track down.

I was wondering when you were going to show up, though I don't know why you bothered. I don't really have the time to talk with you, or really anything to discuss.

Father.

There is really nothing about Dmitri Yuriev that needs to be discussed. Now if you'll excuse me I have things to d---

It's embarrassing you know! Here we are, a genetically engineered bio-weapon and we couldn't even oust one squishy scientist's mental intrusion. Or maybe...

Maybe what...? [Gaignun's voice is low and guarded, like he has a feeling he knows what the shadow is trying to imply.]

Poor 666 and 667, they tried so hard to help you, and nearly broke their hearts in the process. We tried too, didn't we? Not hard enough that's for sure. Father was always good at manipulating us to get what he wanted.

Hey! Don't call them that! They have names! [Totally avoiding the point and hoping to distract the shadow, which unfortunately doesn't work]

DON'T AVOID THE ISSUE 669!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I forgive you but really it's fine, we're still in the talking and accusation phase that I've noticed in others.

Oh I haven't begun to get testy, would you stop skirting around the issue 669! I can make you listen the hard way if you wish.

You sure? I bet I could sneak up on 'im and give him a good drubbing while he's busy having a tiff.

...Well, it'd work better without him having heard that, but I can improvise if I must.

No no it's really fine Devola! I'm sure me and...him, can come to some arrangement.

I'm grateful for the offer however. [He's just worried that she'd end up getting hurt, which is why he wants to deal with it himself.]

[And this one's as nonchalant and unworried as ever, ayep.] Alright, alright, If you say so. Hopefully you can -- I... think they can be negotiated with. Even if they're obnoxious about it.

[A beat.]

Sorry for listening in, by the way. It's been tempting to disable my phone all week; lots of dirty laundry no one wants to have aired going up for anyone to see.

It's quite alright, I understand. I think these things want to be heard no matter the cost to personal dignaty or mental security. Yours was rather forthright about it too.

Nngh, yeah. Here's to hoping this is as flashy or blatant as they get, huh?

I'd raise a glass to it, but I'm afraid there isn't one near me at this point.

Let's just call a rain-check on that for now, then.

Maybe when we have that talk. I have a feeling we may be more similar then originally thought.

That's a distinct possibility. It sounds like a good plan to me, in any case.

I'll leave you two be, s'pose. Try not to be too rude, echovoice-Gaignun.

Stay well Devola...please.
