[002] I had visions, I was in them, I was looking into the MIRROR

[notafuckingnut]

What the fuck just happened. Somebody tell me that kind of shit's normal around here, because if it's not I'm gonna have to ask what the hell kind of protocol you have for a crash in fucking SPACE.


[ooc: Richie is unaffected. Mirror!Richie is a bundle of insecurities and repentant puppy!eyes and anal-retentively clutched self-control - he's convinced if he tries this whole behaving and being Good thing hard enough for long enough his brother will come get him - sooo consequently it will quickly become fairly obvious to anyone who's spent any amount of time with him thus far in the Mirror!Verse that yeeeeah he's SUDDENLY GOTTEN "BETTER". Or at least gotten a hell of a lot closer to it.  *gasp*]

[video cause she's such a showoff]

[Wanda is basically dressed like she's about to hit the stage in a high class burlesque. Lots of black lace and red leather. She smirks.]

It's normal, and no I didn't do it. Bulky Hulky didn't either, unless that was his version of a gas attack.

Wait, did you just say fuck?

[Audio]

[gammabruce]

...Bulky Hulky? [You worry him, Wanda. :| ]

[Audio]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

[Hohshit]

Dude, I was kidding!

[Audio]

[gammabruce]

No, it's... fine. [He is all ten kinds of confused right now.] I'm just surprised you know, that's all.

[Audio]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

...huh? Oh shit, don't let this be another memory loss flood.

Bruce. Hon. Scary bastard after my own heart. We are neighbors. Every time a certain somebody decides to do a room remodel or knock your door off its hinges? I'm right there glad we marginally fucking get along.

[Audio]

[gammabruce]

I know that we're neighbors, and I know - well, thankful, actually - that we get along. I'm just not understanding you. [Did he tell her about the Hulk? No, he can't remember. Shit, maybe it is memory loss.] I'm... scary?

[Audio]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

So. Am. I.

Huh? Well, you seem to be having a really mellow day today, actually. But usually you unholster the Big Guy left and right. Oh damn, that sounded dirty.

...oh well. ANYway, yeah. You get fear from the softies and respect from us hardcases.

You really don't remember?

[She swears quietly, because if she'd known she would have taken advantage.]

[Audio] innuendo win

[gammabruce]

[He's too busy WTFing to really notice the unintentional pun.]

No, I... really don't.

[Lying time! ...Sorta.]

Its like a hangover. When I become the Hulk, you know. Messes my head up a bit afterwards. Sometimes I can't remember certain things. Also causes, uh, mood swings. Depression and--its nothing, really.

[Audio, now with Private] \o/

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

OK. Look man. You're lucky I like you because that is not the sort of shit you want to make public. Slap a filter on that bitch and I mean it. If you're weakened after the Big Guy visits you do not want that breaking wide around here.

...hope my Warden doesn't catch me saying that.

[Of course now she knows it, and will use it if she has to....]

[Private; Audio]

[gammabruce]

I'm sorry, its just-- last I checked? No one knew about him. Then there's a flood, and now it seems everyone does and... What is going on?

[He trusts you, Wanda. Probably not good judgment on his part right now. :| ]

[After a pause, a bit quieter:] Please tell me I'm not... violent.

[Private; Audio]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

...oh man. Yeah. Do not let on that you're like this now, it will seriously mess with your rep and Luke and whoever knows who else will come down on you.

I don't get this Flood. Everything seems normal to me except for the way certain people are acting. I mean, I still can't figure out why I'm an Inmate instead of a Warden, but that's the usual kind of weirdness.

[His last question brings her up short.]

That really bothers you, doesn't it?

[Private; Audio]

[gammabruce]

Don't worry. I know how to keep a low profile. [Its just difficult when you don't know the ~rules~.]

Yes, it does. I know how the Hulk is but that's not--I'm not--like that. [Pause.] Am I?

[Private; Audio]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Good, because you're my left flank. [And might end up being that Top Lion.]

[She hesitates. She knows the price of getting him too upset.]

In this place, you have to be hardcore, Bruce. Look at your journal. It will probably explain better than me. Nobody messes with you because they know you have the Hulk on call. That is a good thing because this place is a fucking sharkpit.

[video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

[...Please hold, Richie zoned out there for a little bit, it takes him a few moments to remember to put his tongue away and actually use words. Even so, they're worlds of distracted. And yes, he's staring. Openly. WHY MUST YOU DRESS LIKE THAT, WANDA. :/ ]

...Yes...?

[video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

[She leans forward to peer at him, which DOES NOT HELP.]

Holy crapcakes, and you're actually Looking instead of sneakin' peeks and pretending not to. Good for you, man, there's hope for you yet!

[video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

[Not even a little bit, no. SUCH A TEASE. She may get a visit later now. Or at least days of stalking. /sigh ]

You think so?

[Yeah, probably not talking about the same thing.]

[video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

[A wide smile]

Look, Dark Eyes, I'm gonna lay it on you real straight. If you are too pure, too guilt ridden, too softcore, this place will chew you up, spit you out and you will lose your mind. I've seen you with that sad fuckin' look on your face and wondered if you would toughen up or crack. Looks like you toughened up. Good to see.

[video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

[Yep, definitely not. Regroup, and now have a less drooling and more baffled Richie instead.]

...What the hell are you talking about? You make it sound like this place is something out of Hellraiser.

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Look. You're cute and your eyes make interesting promises. And you're catching on fast. So I'll do you a favor.

[She leans back and starts zipping on her boots.]

This place isn't quite out of Hellraiser, but. You have evil people with superpowers, you have the Hulk, you have vampires whom they deliberately keep hungry to torment them into biting people--and that's just the inmates--and you have mindgames on top of mindgames. You gotta have a posse, you gotta have a plan and you gotta have a way of defending yourself.

[private video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

[...Richie just goes back to watching for a few moments again; she's very distracting and he can't concentrate on the actual words for the boots. Don't mind him, he'll check back in in a minute.]

Which would be easier if they hadn't taken my gun the minute I got here...

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Wai-wai...what? No, fuck that. Ask your Warden for it back and some spare ammo. And see if he can't get you a vest to go under that suit. It won't stop everything but it can help you hold out long enough to get your hits in.

[private video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

...You're fucking kidding me, right? Ask my lame-dick keeper for my gun. Just like that. I thought he was supposed to be in charge of keeping that shit under lock and key. I doubt he even has one.

[...Clearly he has not met Mirror!Will yet.]

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Waiwait. You're with Will the FBI Guy, aren't you? The sonofabitch can't be anti gun, he shot me twice!

[private video because...just because.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Bullshit. What the hell for?

[private video because...just because.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

What can I tell you? I was just being that much of a bitch that day.
