five ☠ video | open to both sides!

[lingeringfear]

[There's something distinctly different about Fear when he turns the video on this time. He seems even less human than normal, not breathing, not blinking, as if he's forgotten how to manipulate his form so that it actually appears lifelike.

He manages to move his mouth as he speaks, but the motion doesn't quite sync up with the words echoed in through the mic.]

...so I've finally failed.

[His eyes are unfocused, but he looks downward, contemplative.]

I only got half the city out. It won't be enough- we can't start over, not without Hope. So it ends here, I suppose.

[He takes in his first breath since beginning the recording, letting it out in a long sigh.]

I'm sorry.

No, we're named what we're powered by, not what we're good at.

[wormintheglass]

Thank you, Captain Bloody Obvious. I hadn't noticed that.

[fourthreturned]

You DID ask.

[wormintheglass]

One day, when we aren't having a potentially city-ending crisis, Confusion dear, I will explain rhetorical questions to you.

Actually, scratch that, I'll make whoever's irritated me the most by then do it.

[fourthreturned]

Sure thing kiddo, and maybe I can explain sarcasm to you in return. :)

[wormintheglass]

I don't think you understand it well enough for that. But - delightful as it is to banter with you in the wreckage, don't we have a sort of crisis going on? What can we do?

[fourthreturned]

Nothing helpful.

[wormintheglass]

[And then Bianca's anger breaks the surface and she snarls.]

Then why are you wasting my time, you vapid hag?
