Voice | After the festival, before the world hop

[unrecovered]

[On one hand, Wash absolutely hates his power, and he is beyond angry with Astoria for saddling him with it. That's not going to change anytime soon.]

[On the other hand, odds are the group at large will need the use of his power at some point, and if they don't have it when they need it because he's been too busy bitching about it to learn how to use it effectively, that'll be his fault. The list of Things That Are Agent Washington's Fault is too long already; he doesn't need to add to it.]

[So here he is.]

If anyone's available, I could use some help getting a handle on my power.

Full disclosure: it's...invasive.

[And the sun is slightly warm.]

[OOC: Time to break in that permissions post!]

[In Wash's experience, any given group tends to include helpful people and helpful people. Looks like he's already found the latter.]

I was going to explain on an individual basis, but I think I can put you on the No list.

[beyondthegreen]

That depends. What is it?

[Look, she can't help but be curious anyway... although the question is still asked with a rather bossy kind of tone. ]

[unrecovered]

What part of "explain on an individual basis" did you not get?

[He doesn't exactly want to shout this from the fucking rooftops, okay.]

[beyondthegreen]

I'm talking to you as an individual. It's not like anybody else is going to listen in on us.

[She remarks carelessly. People wouldn't do that if they know it's a private conversation, right? Right?

This girl picks some strange aspects of humanity to have any faith in.]

[unrecovered]

...it's a public network.

[Is she for real right now]

[beyondthegreen]

[Even in audio, it's not hard to imagine she's rolling her eyes dramatically, from the tone of Tefé's voice. People have to make things so hard.]

Fine, whatever. Where are you?

['Invasive' sounds absolutely terrible, but trying to get control over your own powers... she can kinda understand that, and isn't entirely unsympathetic.]

[unrecovered]

And here I thought you were on the No list.

[Honestly, he's not sure he wants to work with her after this conversation. Not when he has no control.]

[beyondthegreen]

I haven't made up my mind yet. For all I know it could be scrambling up someone's internal organs.

But I'm willing to listen if you can stop being fucking mysterious for a minute or two.

[unrecovered]

Okay, you got me, I'm asking for human test subjects for my organ scrambling powers. Who do I look like, Ted Bundy?

[Sarcasm so thick you could cut it with a knife.]

Sorry, being fucking mysterious is in my contract.

[beyondthegreen]

I don't know what you look like. [Said very factually, since this all audio! And who the hell is Ted Bundy anyway?]

Do you want help or not?

[unrecovered]

[Given how the conversation has gone...]

You know what, no thanks.

[beyondthegreen]

Well, don't say I didn't offer.

[After all that is she going to sound slightly put-out? Yep. Kids, man.]
