5th Metal / open video

[godsays]

[ The video turns on Zane, who is somewhat disheveled, but, to the discerning eye, different than usual. Something too intent and high-strung has been muted, and there is a dangerous hint in his eyes. ]

Cassel is... hurt.

Someone needs to collect him.

Level 4, Cabin 12.

[ And video off. ]



[ ACTION SPAM (edited to add) ]

[ And now Zane is in zero.

He sits alone, arms crossed over his chest, his face hard and blank.

Come and visit! ]

I'm going! I'm going right now, I just.

What the SHIT, Iris?! Who the fuck is responsible for this asshole?! Why isn't he in Zero yet?

Cassel is in the GODDAMN infirmary and he's walking around like it's no big deal!

Kon and Babs are on it. Calm your tits, sweetheart. He'll be fine.

See if you can find out what happened, this Zane bloke's about as chatty as a custard slice.

I'll kill him. I will fucking kill him, Iris, if he isn't in Zero in five minutes I'm going to his cabin and I will kill the shit out of him.

[She switches the comm to video so thatshe can snarl at Chris; she's in bed, still pale and hollow-eyed, and her voice is hoarse and rough.]

Down, Chris, I'm bloody well serious. Keep out of the way an' let us 'andle it, will you?

[He's visibly snarling, pacing around the hallway and uncertain about taking the stairs to the infirmary or to Zane's cabin]

Well, you're not fucking handling it, are you? Cassel's in a fucking hospital bed and he's not dead or in Zero and he fucking needs to be, right now.

[Chris' thoughts fly to the gun he's stashed in Lark's cabin, but debating on whether he wants to waste his one shot on Zane is taking some effort]

Yes. We are. Go see Cassel. Ask 'im what this was about, I get the feeling summat peculiar's goin' on an' I doubt 'e'll tell any of us. Go on. Now.

....I swear to fucking god, if this is some bullshit Fight Club thing I'll kill both of them. Cassel and Zane. I will fucking pull this glove off and I will fucking run my hand all over Cassel's stupid retarded face and make him cry like a fucking BITCH.

[But some combination of Cassel, Rorschach, and Iris herself finally sink into the angry shell that surrounds Chris' logic. He heads to the infirmary instead of going to grab his gun]
