[Video] Week 52: Saturday Morning

[A pleasant backdrop of green fields and sunlight can't mask the concern that's pursed Pepper's lips and given her expression, always attentive, an added layer of sharp attention.]

Does anyone have information about what's going on with the sky? Has there been another attack?

I can't seem to raise Tony, so any information would be appreciated.

[What Pepper sees is that unobstructed view, with symbols popping up below it. Her expression is... not reassured.]

Akito? Is that you?

[Why Akito would be using symbols all of a sudden is something she's just not questioning. Invisible people are strange.]

Are you saying that a bomb went off, and that's what happened to the mountain?

S A N D M A N

[Sandy's been trying this letter-symbol thing, okay? Especially since it's an emergency.]

*check mark* *bones* + *monster*? *bomb* = *bones* + *monster* + *tombstone*!

*dotted outline of a person* ?

[Bone monsters dead, people were missing. Was that clear enough? Oh, he hoped so.]

Sandman, got it.

[So, Jack Frost, the tooth fairy, some sort of wind spirit, and now the Sandman. Pepper is privately counting down until someone claiming to be a leprechaun turns up. Still... there's information. Of a sort.

She's always been half-decent at Pictionary.]

Bones... demon? No, that's a-- Oh, the bone monsters. From the city? There were bone monsters living in the mountain?

:D *thumbs up*! [Sandy's mostly just glad she got that. Bone-monster is a tricky sort of thing to convey, as complicated as they were.]

B I G *bone* + *monster*! *bomb* = *tombstone*? *grim reaper*?

[God, he hoped the beasts were dead.]

... F R I E N D S *mousetrap*

[This typing thing took so much time! How did everyone else stand it?]

[If the Hulk could text, Pepper is inclined to muse as the text is laboriously produced for her, would it look something like this? A mental note to mention this to Tony runs aground on fresh worry and she turns her attention to more parsing.]

They bombed the mountain to kill the bone monsters and it worked.

But... now your friends are trapped? Who's trapped?

[Scratch fresh worry and exchange it for open alarm.]

S A N D Y *safe*. S K Y W A L K E R *safe*.

[That's what someone had called him, at least. Sandy wasn't great with names, so he didn't recall everyone's.]

*Wolf* + K E R R A + *robot* + M U L A N * + *robot* *female symbol* = *mousetrap*.

I N D R A N I = *tombstone*

[He was still shaken by that. Some of the others had been injured, too, and not looking well, and... very close to the explosion.]

A L I V E? *tombstone*?

That will be a relief for Kaylee, at least.

[Pepper may be worried about Tony, and the news about Indrani widens her eyes, but she can still spare a thought for what must be a very worried bride to be before schooling herself to business and crisis management.]

Has anyone been told about the trapped people yet? Do you want me to spread the news? I'm out of the country, but I already have people on this communication that could get a search party organized...

[Sandy ran a hand through his hair and breathed out a long sigh. He shook his head, even though he knew she couldn't see.]

??? @_@

[He hadn't been back to town. He had no idea who knew - he didn't have anyone to tell.]

*mousetrap* ... O R ... *tombstone*

*mushroom cloud* = B I G :C

Fair point.

[And one that, while Pepper would rather not think about it, knows she really ought to. She looks grim.]

I'll pass the word along to the people back in Poseidon who responded, just in case. If the trapped people are dead, well... they're Ship people, like you and I. Someone should check the pods over the next few days.

[Sandy stares at the screen, brow furrowed, as he worries his lower lip. He might not know everything going on around here, but...]

U O K ?

[She looks like she needs a friend, right now.]

[Pepper huffs a laugh at that question, and gives it an honest answer.]

No, I'm really not... but there's not really anything that can be done at the moment. I'm glad you told me, though.

[The next text comes back slowly, with some obvious effort. Words. They'll never be easy. Even using picture symbols is tricky when he has to be all... literal about it.]

W A T *tin can* *eye* D O ?

[Sandy hates that she's upset and he can't do anything.]

[Be very careful asking Pepper Potts if there's anything you can do. Although the question does replace her expression of internal worry with one of a to-do list gleaming in her eyes, so he's helped that much, at least.]

I've let a few people back in Poseidon know what you've told me -- Belle, Mr. Gold, and a Lieutenant Agathon. I'm too far away to help with anything, but if they contact you, you could be a great help to them, in terms of information or just being able to be on site taking a look at anything they need a closer view of.

[He doesn't believe he knows any of them - if only because Rumple didn't introduce himself by that name - but Sandy's hardly going to refuse to help! He stands at attention and salutes the screen.]

[And a minute later realizes she can't see that.]

*Thumbs up* !
