SEVENTEEN :: [Voice]

[superspeeds]

[There's some interference, the signal seems a little fuzzy. In the background Angelica can be heard talking to something. She's saying something along the lines of "It's okay baby, we'll be moving soon" to a response of animal noises. Pietro sighs heavily into the comm.]

Public Transportation, while somewhat effectual and surely a vast improvement to the living conditions of the lower class in the twentieth century, has dissolved into a cesspool of filth and impropriety rarely seen in the civilized world. Further the local governments seem unwilling to update train station facilities, or even clean them. It's deplorable, irresponsible and frankly, quite disgusting.

I don't know how most of you put up with it.

[There's a static-y noise and then an automated recording comes on "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are being held momentarily by the Trains' Dispatcher. We apologize for any inconvenience.".]

And then they trap you underground so you cannot even hope to escape the grime and disease that doubtlessly cakes every surface of the car. All of this for a cat.

[He sighs again and then cuts the feed.]

[She is peering into the small cat kennel, making cooing noises at Leopold. Poor baby.]

It's okay, kitty-cakes. We're almost there.

[superspeeds]

We've just left 34th Street and we're waiting til 59th. Further, the train is being held because the imbeciles running this system cannot seem to handle multiple lines at a time. We are hardly almost there. In fact, I'm beginning to suspect we might die here.

[radiantly]

[glaring forever holy crap]

We're not going to die here. We just have to be patient. You have to be patient, Pietro.

Does all the inactivity leave you restless, Pietro?

[voice]

[superspeeds]

You are a very smart man, Henry. I believe you can draw your own conclusions.

[voice]

[professorlionface]

I'm inclined to conclude the other aspects tend to be exaggerated by the unpleasantness of having to stay in the same spot for an extended period of time.

[recurve]

Why did you even take the subway in the first place?

[permavoice]

[superspeeds]

We are taking my wife's cat to the vet. She insisted we go by train.

[recurve]

She couldn't just do it herself?

[trying not to laugh... pippa, who has grown quite a bit over the past few months, noses her way into gemma's lap.]

I hope the cat will be alright.

Hello, Gemma.

Leopold will be fine. He's a very hearty boy.
