Warnings: n/a

[ immediately the viewer will see a green animal on screen, the camera angled up telling that whoever is holding the camera is shorter than her. don't mind that, because she's leaning forward into the screen with a sharktooth grin, then tapping at the recorder with the tip of her gloved finger. ]

Hey, is this working!?

[ in the background is a very low "yes ma'am!".

surge leans back, her ears twitching as she nods to herself. she shifts to the left a bit, then to the right now sure which side is her best side but... she'll figure that out later. ]

Okay, listen up! Your fellow heroes [ self-proclaimed ] are inna crisis! I got a prop...eristion for anyone willing to take on the challenge!

[ from behind the camera, another voice can be heard: ]

Proposition...

Yeah, that! The reward? We'll get to that later! A N Y way! There's this damn menace on the prowl causin' trouble as we speak, and you all need to be on the lookout. He's out there creatin' monsters and trying to put people in peril, but we know his weakness, and we'll get rid of him for ya before he tries to kill ya next.

[ hands on her hips, the tenrec nods to her own words because it makes sense, why wouldn't it? ]

Hand me the... y'know! [ she's holding out her hand towards the camera person, asking for something. ] So I know you're all curious about who this nefarious fiend is. My cool and artistic sidekick has taken it upon himself to draw this cretin.

[ a flap of a sheet of paper now means the camera screen, revealing the culprit. ]

THIS GUY. Bring him to us and we will beat the shit out of him and you never have to deal with his evil again! So, anyone up for the task?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

And you're more concerned with making Surge out to be a bad guy when she's trying to help.

[ someone doesn't appreciate this. even though kit normally has trouble talking, when it comes to standing up for surge, the words spill out one after another. ]

He did attack us. We never met him before. Just because he was nice to you doesn't mean he was to us.

[ but be for real, who is? ]

And it's going to be really expensive to fix my pack...

[ why would he do that to himself? ]

[ He recently got abducted, tortured, and partially turned to crystal by people hiding within the Paladins. He is not being generous with his trust these days, and his paranoia has ramped up as well. ]

Nowhere did I say that Shadow was nice to me. I am no friend of his. Believe me, I have every reason to suspect Shadow of wrong doing.

However, the way the two of you are acting and spreading information leaves me to question the full validity of your words. Someone who truly wants to stop a dangerous individual would share any knowledge to protect others from harm. Your friend claims to know a weakness but refuses to share it because she wants to be the one to kill him. You are essentially asking people to track and capture someone, putting themselves at risk, while not having all the facts you possess.

Is it vengeance? Do you lack the information you claim to possess? Or is it something else?

[ Sherlock has seen people destroy more expensive items for ulterior motives. Sorry, the pack being expensive will not persuade him one way or another. ]

ERROR: Message not delivered. The individual you are trying to reach has blocked incoming messages from this ID.

[ Fine by him. This clearly was going nowhere, and Sherlock adds notes of being untrustworthy for both of them in his casebook. ]
