He's going to murder you. [Great minds, etc.]

At least he didn't offer me any hugs. Yet?

[bookofnope]

Oh, I completely understand you about the tablet. I keep being told such devices are 'smart', but sometimes I feel what they are is too smart for their own good.

[This romance is meant to be.]

But in this case, I hope you will understand if I begin with a subject close to my specific areas of interest in metaphysics. Or one of them at least. The Aedra and the distinction between them and the Daerda - I want to be sure I understand it. Your beliefs - or are they verified metaphysical facts? - are that the Aedra created the universe as you know it from their own substance. Am I understanding correctly? Were they undone by this? And otherwise their nature and that of the Daerda are effectively identical, both having some claim to divinity despite the latter's lack of a role in actual creation? Is there hostility between the two groups?

[Talk to him about Morrowind Jesus, Neloth.]

[Hmm, should he admit that this was recorded a while back, or let Beckett keep thinking there's a chance of hugs?]

You sure you wanted me to go get him?

[What would be the fun in honesty?]

voice

[bookofnope]

Yes, yes I am. Some clarifications need to be in person.

[Fuck yeah he's about to make Zack cry.]

[Kunsel's sense of self-preservation decides to make an exit here. Beckett could always call Zack's tablet himself while Kunsel holes up safe and sound somewhere, but then he'd completely miss out on the train wreck that's about to happen here.]

Hey, Zack! Get in here!

[Voice raised nice and loud so Zack is sure to hear.]

audio; cw abuse

[headjacked]

[ There is a very dedicated pause between the last response and Beckett's reply. He knows Angel is running her mouth, speculating, sure, but she can't know.

And Jack doesn't tell Rhys he can't check his messages, which he proceeds to do. Obsessively. ]

-- Jack's the worst flavor of asshole, the asshole that pretends to love you or care about you but only gives a skag's wang about himself, the guy I immediately tried clawing out of my head for the nth time and --

[ It's clear he'd go on for ages if he could, but he can't, and there's the rough sound of metal on skin. Not an open palmed slap. If only. Knuckles on flesh. He has advanced warning this time. Small blessings. It turns what should have been a yelp into a whine. ]

[Beckett can't know, but he's a clever old vampire with a lot of experience with awful things inside people's heads. He can't know, but he sure can go welp.

His voice tightens. He doesn't want to hurt Rhys, but he's got to figure out the... parameters of this latest disaster.]

I just got an interesting message from Angel. Do you think you could explain what is going on?

[headjacked]

[ There! There! T h e r e! ]

I -

[ ...no, no. It's close, and he keeps trying but his voice dies into a squeak each and every time. Vampire niceities are getting just a bit too nice. ]

I don't know, can I?

Day 382 actionish/IC knowledge passing because plurk pings are not reliable

[warriorscribe]

[A day after Rhys contacted Beckett he goes after Enoch, and if Beckett had already figured it out it will come as no surprise when he quietly gets his attention to confirm it. If he hadn't, now he knows.]

(Sorry, only used this new thread because I didn't want to crash one in-progress from the previous IC day)

audio;

[bookofnope]

[Well. It's an answer. Beckett hesitates, then decides to try his luck, for the hell of it.]

Yes. Tell me what's happening, even if it's difficult.

[A moment later it occurs to him that he is about to have Regrets about that phrasing.]

[ Rhys is an amazing speedtalking. Jack is a better speedwrecker, though, and Rhys stops abruptly.

As does the entire connection. ]

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I RESPONDED TO THIS AND I'M FOREVER SORRY.....

[heroproceeding]

[ AND THEN ZACK WAS TEN BILLION YEARS LATE TO THIS PARTY, ROCKS, FELL, AND EVERYONE DIED THE END EVERYONE GO HOME. ]

[heroproceeding]

[ More than loud enough to hear. Zack finishes taking care of what he was doing which affords Kunsel a few more minutes to second guess himself or otherwise accept fate before Zack finally pops into the same room as him with a: ] Yeah? What's up?

audio

[deus_ex_phs]

[Kunsel holds up his tablet by way of explanation (and maybe as a preemptive shield.]

Conference call. Beckett thinks you might be sick. He's very concerned.

[Yup, he's gunning for murder from both ends.]

[heroproceeding]

Since when does Beckett care how I am?

[ Kunsel, you're shitting him. You're totally and utterly shitting him. He's got a raised eyebrow happening and everything. It doesn't stop him from stepping forth to close the rest of the distance. ]

What do you really want?

[bookofnope]

[Beckett smirks, even though Zack can't see it. His voice is cheerful in a slightly terrifying way. Now, Kunsel, we shall play a game.]

Just wanted to say thank you to my buddy Zack. I don't have a lot of people on audio record saying they love me.

[The game is called a troll-off.]

[deus_ex_phs]

[Beckett, you're a beautiful man. Kunsel just smiles winningly at Zack as he replies to Beckett.]

Zack's a good friend like that.

[heroproceeding]

Wait- what? Since when!?

[ What in Ifrit's name is Beckett even talking…….. about....? He feels like he should know this. Like it's right there in flashing lights and he's already giving Kunsel a look. ]

[bookofnope]

Now don't walk back on it, bro. [Is that the proper use of bro how do the children] It was a beautiful confession. Very heartfelt.
