Report #017 - Video
[Coming live from her home office-- not the lair, for a change. She's moved back out-- and she's got both hands in view, though one is notably paler than the other. Eight weeks in a cast and fixator does that. Still, it's finally off and she's feeling pretty good about that, at least.]
Well, it looks like the city is business as usual -- except for the whole business with communicators, Skrulls, and murder of government officials. [So -- not at all usual, okay? Which is usual for the City, and for people like Roxanne, but maybe not for some of the other denizens of the City.] Oh, and some interesting crimes popping up in the Skrull aftermath. Hair as a murder weapon? Pretty gross.
So as I compile my reports for the Skrull invasion-- I'm inviting anybody who'd like to speak with me to do so, so I can have a clear look to go with my previous information -- the live coverage has been cleaned up and put up on the imPact site and is available for review... [A beat.] Though it has since been edited for content. If there's something you need for -- ah, specific purposes, contact me and I'll see about getting you the unedited footage.
In the mean time -- what good things have happened to you? I got my cast and fixator removed. The scarring is minimal, I can wear my watch on the right wrist and stop itching in places I can't scratch. Oh, and I no longer have to worry about laying very still or possibly jabbing myself when I sleep.
So -- what's your tiny ray of sunshine as we head into March? It sure came in like a lion, on the imPort front. Let's hope it heads out like a lamb.

Live feeds have their place. Stored media, however, is easier access and thus needs it's content edited. If there's a recording of the full webcast out there-- which would be difficult, but not impossible-- its not likely to be in the hands of a child who might not understand the gravity of it.
I fully expect that there will be new Skrull death threads on some of the more--morbid news sites, eventually, but that's simply human nature for you.
imPact is simply not providing unedited content in this case. Live feeds cannot be edited - and live feeds are important for up to the minute awareness of the situation.
And like it or not-- everyone in the city had a right to know what was going on in Times Square, imPort or not.

[ Not even waiting to see if she comes back to answer that. He flicks his feed off. ]

[He looks a little pissy. This isn't a new thing, really.]
That's -- good news.

You ring me up just to talk about lids and the good fortune of having my cast off?

[This is woman speak and he doesn't know that language.]
Why -- don't you come by and see?
[THERE THAT WORKS RIGHT?]
[video | private]
I could do that.
[video | private]
Right. Do that! Or-- [He steeples his fingers and smirks,]
Do I have to locate the knockout spray? It's around here somewhere.
[video | private]
I'm sure you can use other weapons in your arsenal of persuasion to get me to be pliant to your request, Megamind.
[Banter, or flirting? Or is there any difference, anymore?]
[video | private]
Do not test me, Miss Ritchi, unless you're willing to deal with the consequences.
[video | private]
My, we are feeling confident today.
And when do you expect me to comply with this-- request?
[video | private]
[He's grinning at her, eyes glinting.]
Oh, I don't know...how about --
[Something flashes behind him, a brainbot electrocuting itself, who knows -- but it shower the entire lair in electric blue light, and he smirks, even as generators hum to life.]
Now.
[video | private]
Been a busy little bee, haven't we?
Right. As soon as I've wrapped things up at the office-- I'll be all yours.
[She cannot wait to see what he's pulled off now... even was quasi-legal or outright illegal it may be.]
[video | private]
I look forward to it.
