[Video] Early Saturday

[cantcatchme]

[The screen flickers on to show an annoyed, ruffled, white-haired young man, clearly standing right outside the spaceship. The image is in focus and right-side up, even. Somebody knew what a video phone was. He brushes some hair back into place with quick fingers before speaking, his voice irritated instead of scared or worried.]

What the hell, man? Think you coulda warned me, huh?

[He scowls at the screen - clearly, a reply that's not instantaneous isn't quick enough]

Hellooo, Magneto? Cut the mysterious crap and get with the program! This another one of your tests? What more do I need to prove, huh?

[Todd, using logic at all? The world must be coming to an end.]

Well, goin' home's probably better than bein' stuck here. They keep talkin' about not having enough food and bein' careful and stuff. It's like hidin' from normal people all over again, only worse.

[And he knows how much he hates that. They'd even tries getting rid of it, and look how well that had gone over? Geez.]

[cantcatchme]

And I hate hiding.

[At least they could agree on something?]

Leave it to me, and I'll figure out what makes these so-called 'authorities' tick.

[catchingflies]

Okay, sure.

[So it's more just wait and see, apparently. Well, Todd's happy to let Pietro see what he can do. He can just... uh... wait on Thero, or something.]

Just keep me in the loop, right?

[cantcatchme]

[Pietro, of course, has no idea what's he's going to do here. But he's not about to let that stop him.]

Sure, sure. I'll let you know if I need you for something.

[The idea that Todd might refuse to do anything he orders hasn't occurred to him yet.]

[catchingflies]

'Course you will.

[Todd says it at a grumble. At least Thero was kind of nice about it. He decides then and there not to mention Thero anymore at all. So there.

He mostly keeps to muttering under his breath until they reach the Flop, unless Pietro has something more to say.]

[cantcatchme]

[Pietro seems antsy and a little nervous, and pretty quiet, for him. Of course, given the circumstances...

Anyway, he won't pay Todd much mind.]</small]

((fadeout there, I suppose? XD ))

((Sounds good! They'll 'catch up' later, I'm sure.))
