Jul 23, 2010 02:59

[The camera, fixed in the ceiling, looks down on one of the hospital's isolation rooms. By the edge of a crumpled bed stands a man more usually seen in scrubs than the hospital gown he has on now. Two sets of restraints seem to be keeping him there: one linking his leg with the foot of the bed, and one cuffing his wrists together ( Read more... )

[He stops and closes his eyes a minute. Parsing that voice.]

Dawn. [Worth a try.] I need your help.

[ ...oh boy, this again. ]

Please don't say to dig tomatoes.

Robert Chase.

Cease and desist.

Or? [Tipping his chin up to look at the camera.] Expecting me to comply would usually come after you give me a reason.

There are too many ways and methods that could be used to neutralize a human male.

It would be senseless to try and list all the reasons you might have to cease and desist when told to do so by a death god.

[Claire's location is nondescript, but it's logical to assume that she's not far away, given the color of the walls and the slant of the light. The camera doesn't show her arms, but her shoulders suggest they are probably crossed.]

I can see you.

[He barely spares a glance for the monitor, but the look of distaste is evident.]

And I suppose you think that makes us even.

video ][ adamantined July 23 2010, 04:01:35 UTC

How does this make us even? I could see you in the first two videos, too.

[She's picked up her device and has already started heading somewhere. Whether it's to alert someone to the situation or deal with it on her own is anyone's guess. Making sure Chase stays where he's at is the most important part.]

Where are you trying to go?

video ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 04:11:40 UTC

Let me out and I'll take you.

[Bored now, Claire.]

We're not even. I've got a bargaining chip you're never going to have.

[Ginny doesn't say a word, not yet, though clearly she wants to because she's switched on her device. But all that's audible is a sigh.]

[He's not really interested, Ginny. Busy figuring out the logistics of this leg restraint.]

[The witch considers him for a few more moments, then bites back another sigh as she switches to video, as if giving him an accurate impression of her mother's stern glare will do much good.]

Lay off it, Chase. It's there for a reason, isn't it.

→ VIDEO ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 04:13:53 UTC

[Oh, god. Lectured by a teenage witch. He carries on as if he's going to ignore it for a long minute before replying.]

I want it off for a reason.

I'm trapped here. Can you help?

I...

Where are you?
