x-factor investigations starts off with some great PR

-- unbelievable.

[ there's the sound of clattering as the video comes on, like someone knocked the communicator over but is obviously too preoccupied to notice. even though there's only a crooked view of someone's feet, rictor's voice is raised and clearly audible. ]

What part of this did you think I'd be okay with, exactly? Or weren't you thinking about me at all?

I do not know. [shatterstar sounds defensive, but like he's rather missing the point:] Why would this upset you? You were not here.

Why would it upset me? [ there's a tone of incredulity in rictor's voice. ] Oh, wait. That's right. You wouldn't understand because you have no concept of what it feels like to only want to be with one person.

When I was not in your dimension, you were with others. How is this different? [a beat, heatedly:] And you also wish to be with Rahne.

Rahne is different. I thought she was pregnant with my -- [ hhurghh. ] That's not the point.

[ the camera starts to get unsteady, trembling a little at first, then more as rictor continues to raise his voice. ]

This isn't about me and her. It's about us, or if there even is an us at all --

Of course there is an- [and then, when the shaking becomes too intense to ignore-] Rictor? Julio!

What? [ the whole building lurches one more time.







then stops. because he stops. he realizes. dead silent and still for a long moment.

...That was me.

Sucks about your argument, dudes, but I think I just heard some sweet earth-shaking.

[Actually, depending on how big of an area he shook..she might've felt it.]

That was me.

[ again. like he's still getting used to the idea, and isn't sure if he really believes it or not. ]

...Hi. [ it takes him a second. because wow, meeting people -- hang on a second, need to change tracks. ] I'm Rictor. Did you say "earth bender?"
tinybutdeadly: (So cute)

[personal profile] tinybutdeadly 2012-05-14 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Rictor, Rictor. That name's kinda familiar. Were you here before?

And uh. Yeah. S'what I do. Not that I expect people from any other worlds to really be Earthbenders. But there's something similar in it, I guess.

Someone mentioned that I was. I don't remember it.

[ a beat. ]

So. You bend the earth. [ like he's still not entirely sure what that entails. bending is a weird word. ]
tinybutdeadly: (It was thiiiis big!)

[personal profile] tinybutdeadly 2012-05-14 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Think I met the other you once, maybe.

Yeah, I do. We call it Earthbending, but it's pretty much manipulation of the element of 'earth'. Not like I can 'bend a planet or whatever.

There's also Firebending, Waterbending, and Airbending.

Right. [ it sounds kind of hokey, but hey. to each his own. ] Well, for the record, I can't technically make the earth do anything. I generate seismic energy.

[That's because it is totally hokey because CHILDRENS TV SHOW.]

Sweet. We'll have to compare in person sometime. There was someone else here who sort of did something similar, for awhile. But he got sent home.

That seems to happen a lot.
tinybutdeadly: (Sigh)

[personal profile] tinybutdeadly 2012-05-14 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

Yeah, it does..
