[Here's Shaun. Here's Shaun who looks... not very thrilled by something. To put it mildly. More along the lines of wooden face and kind of glassy eyes. But his voice is steady; if anyone knows how to make it decent on camera, it's him ( Read more... )

How big is a van?

[video] needs_answers December 25 2011, 19:57:08 UTC

Uh. [Rats out the dimensions and weight, not that he knows them by heart or anything.]

And that means this big. [He turns around the vid pickup and shows the van in question. Which is under the Christmas tree. Which used to be by the wall. Which is now... well. Needs repairing. Shaun will get to that.]

[voice] notyourutopian December 25 2011, 20:05:21 UTC

[There's a pause.]

I...might be able to get it out. I've never tried with anything that big and I'm rather certain I couldn't move it very far but...

[video] needs_answers December 25 2011, 20:09:20 UTC

[Video, because he is startled, and hey... something. Habit.]

Should I be asking how, or would you prefer not saying?

Also, hi, I'm Shaun Mason, and thanks for the offer to help. I... give me about a day or so to get it cleaned up and decontaminated, and then we can see what can be done? I...

[Rubs his eyes.]

No, it wouldn't be that far.

YOU SAY THAT LIKE IT'S HARD TO DO.

It's hard for me, at least if I want to keep it functional when it reaches street level.

IT'LL BE FUNCTIONAL.

permatext; same encryption on his end. Hee new frands... needs_answers December 25 2011, 20:38:16 UTC

Should I be asking how, or you'd rather not tell?

Also, if you can do it, please give me a day or so to clean and decontaminate it, for everyone's safety.

Also, my name is Shaun Mason. Just in case you haven't picked that out of another place.

[Because with that level of encryption - he might not be able to do it properly, but he can recognize it - the other person might know much more than he'd casually say or type anyway. But it's still polite.]

What the hell happened?

video; needs_answers December 26 2011, 06:48:16 UTC

We got a Christmas present, apparently. From home.

Makes me wonder just how much control does one have over what comes through the rift or whatever.

video; fuckinghubble December 26 2011, 13:53:48 UTC

So you got a van -- through your home? That's... inconsiderate.

[Oh durr, REALLY?]

That's a good question, though. I wonder that myself.

video; needs_answers December 26 2011, 14:48:18 UTC

Through? No, we got a van under our tree. And it's an armored van - I know, our mom did that herself.

[Just. Shakes his head.]

It's not only our van. It's our van from a specific point in time.

...am I correct in assuming there's a van in your flat?

video needs_answers December 26 2011, 06:48:46 UTC

Absolutely, positively, and entirely correct.

video shootingshields December 26 2011, 07:04:01 UTC

[she frowns]

A Christmas present. I'd question how it was even possible, but.

[paaaause.]

Is there some sort of pulley system that could be set up to remove it?

video needs_answers December 26 2011, 07:09:41 UTC

I was thinking along the lines of crane lifters or something, there must have been those at some point, to make those buildings, but that could work, too.

Of course, then I got an offer of attempted teleportation.

All of which points are void until the thing is safe to be in or around, and that will take a few more hours. [Not just any van. A very specific van.]

[Jin looks better. Less BSOD and more calm, though his wrist is still bandaged.]

Thank you again for putting me up that night.

A van, though? Is that what you got...? I might be able to help.

[video] needs_answers December 27 2011, 05:22:52 UTC

No problem. I'm.... it's good to get a chance to take a break, when things crash down on you.

[Rubs his face, then turns the vid pickup to show the van. With the tree still on it. And the wall busted out. And yes, he's winter-dressed.]

I'm cleaning it up, because it's virus-hot, but will get around to fixing the wall when I figure out what to do with it.

[video] supernova1006 December 27 2011, 21:15:42 UTC

Y-Yeah.

Oh jeez. That's--how did they even get that in there? Do you want me to incinerate anything? And I can help with the wall or with taking the van apart, if you want.

[video] needs_answers January 3 2012, 15:49:59 UTC

It just. Showed up. [Merry fucking Christmas.

Shaun thinks on that for a moment, then manages a half smile.] I'm not sure we want the van gone, but the sooner the wall is fixed, the better off we'll be. Just ... give me a few hours to clean up and decon the inside.
