The One With The Hostage Situation: Video

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[For once, they are not broadcasting from inside the last rent controlled apartment in Manhattan: they are in Prefect's quarters. As is Prefect. And this does not appear to be a social call. Scrad keeps his eyes, and the gun-shaped object in the pocket of their hoodie trained on Prefect, as Charlie addresses everyone, stretching forward on his stalk to peer into the comm's camera.]

Okay. Here's the deal: we want off this boat, and we want off it now. So unless you wanna see something unpleasant happen to this guy-

[Charlie jerks his head in Prefect's direction. Scrad nods.]

-...I'd suggest somebody get with the getting.

Got knocked out in a fight.

[Charlie explains.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Might wanna replace that with "got killed." Might stick this time, too...

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

I didn't kill myself!

[Scrad says.

Because that's who they were fighting, by the way: themself.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Damn; no wonder you ended up pulling a stunt like this.

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

What?

[Charlie asks, as, at the same time, Scrad insists:]

You don't know why I do what I do, so don't pretend that you do.

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

You wanna know how many times I gave that line? Think it matters if it's true? Setting yourself apart's not gonna keep you safe from the first first.

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

What're you even talking about?

[Scrad asks, exasperated.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

I'm saying that your'e gonna get your face punched in, dogs.

((...I should not be this amused at the idea of Prim telling them that. >,>))

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Wouldn't be the first time.

[Charlie tells her.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Might be the last for a while.

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

We would be so lucky.

[Scrad mutters.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

[She had meant they wouldn't be getting up for a while, but....] That happen a lot?

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[They're used to that, too.]

Obviously.

[Charlie says, wearily.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Didn't think wardens were supposed to do that shit.

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[Scrad rolls his eyes.]

Not them.

[Charlie sniffs.]

They don't even care enough to smack a guy around.

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

You think they're here 'cause they don't care?

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Pretty much.

[Charlie says.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Must be why they're trying to reach you.

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

We're not the ones people are trying to reach.

[Scrad says.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

You sure about that?

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Sure we're sure.

[Says Charlie. Scrad explains:]

If I was threatening him [he jerks a head in Charlie's direction] and not Prefect, nobody would've even answered.

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

You shoot yourself often, dogs?
