[Wednesday: Video of Panic]
[The camera, when the feed starts, is not actually on Todd's face. It is, instead, crazily lurching around at the foliage, with occasional glimpses of a hand, the sleeve attached to it, and a futuristic sort of piece of technology gripped in that hand. Todd is apparently running-- or, more appropriately, bounding-- when he turns this feed on. Hope nobody gets motion-sick from visual cues.]
Uh, anybody in the camp right now?
[He sounds a little out of breath and squeaky, but not too badly.]
Because, uh, I'm on my way and I kinda need some help!
[There's a feline-eqsue roar from somewhere in the background behind him.]
Have some guns or somethin' handy!
[And then the feed cuts out.]

[About an hour later...]
[He sounds kind of sulky, really. He's not pleased that his first awesome discovery wound up getting him in trouble with pretty much everybody.]

[Defensive, thy name is Todd Tolansky. Because this keeps happening to him, and it's not his fault!]
no subject
[Hypocrite alert! Of course Pietro doesn't think it applies to him, because he usually gets out of any trouble as fast as he gets into it. Usually.]
no subject
[So there, Pietro. So freakin' there.]
no subject
[No, he was just half dead from the plague, and looking towards round two. Fun.]
no subject
[That doesn't come out with quite the flippancy Todd wanted it to. It sounds a bit more plaintive. He promptly shuts up.]
no subject
[Whoops. Had Todd heard about the sickness being Black Death? He wasn't sure.]
no subject
[Pietro is in luck: history is not exactly Todd's strong point. He doesn't put "the plague" together with "the Black Death. He probably doesn't have any idea what "the Black Death" is.
Weaponized, however, he understands. Kind of. Enough to make it scarier.]
no subject
Apparently some idiot a long time ago decided to take the plague and turn it into... some biological weapon or something. It got stirred up and... well, here we are. Or that's what I've gathered. And there's... um...
[He hadn't told Todd there'd be a second round yet. Heck, he hadn't brought up how he almost hadn't survived the first one.]
no subject
But-- what's that mean? Does that mean it's gonna kill you? You're lookin' better, though!
no subject
[Pietro tries to look extra confident and healthy. At least he's good at bluffing?]
no subject
[Todd is glaring at Pietro, but it doesn't have much heat to it. Really, it has more like... fear to it. He won't ever admit it, but he really, really, really doesn't want to lose Pietro. Kurt is pretty okay, but Kurt is not Brotherhood.]

Deal. And I'll be back once yer all better'n stuff. Then you can keep me away from all the giant cat-monster things all by yerself. Okay?
no subject
[Pietro gives Todd a mock-salute as a farewell.]
no subject
[Todd flaps his hand at Pietro, apparently much calmer now, and flicks the screen off.
Notice how he didn't make any promises there, Pietro?]
