[003: Video]

[fuckinghysterical]

[When the video feed starts up, Laughing Beauty looks to the camera nervously, still unsure if making this kind of request was the best to do publicly. But what choice did she have? LB knew she couldn't do this herself.]

Hey, uh -- heheheh -- hi.

[Yes, this was already getting off to a smooth start. LB gives the camera an awkward smile, before continuing.]

There's a lot of people here who can fix things... right? So, if anyone had any spare time, I was wondering if they wanted to try to fix-- [She swivels her communicator around, in a blur, until it focuses on a broken down, unoccupied Octopus Suit. With it occasionally sparking and one of it's tentacles broken apart, it's certainly seen better days, to say the least.]

I, uh... [The camera focuses on her face, deep in thought as she tries to think of a convincing lie as to how her suit got broken in the first place. After a while, however, she glances away from the camera.] Ah, fuck it, I broke it in a fight. But it's okay! Heehee! I... don't think I'll have to worry about that person anymore.

[Which is her roundabout way of saying that she hadn't seen Zer0, since after the fight, and she was pretty sure she killed him (even if that wasn't actually the case). It was a little sad, because he seemed like someone she could be friends with, but it seemed that wasn't the case. Regardless, she's not admitting to anything.

As she scratches her head and generally looks uncomfortable, it might be easy to tell that she's possibly hiding something.]

A-anyway, I'm not sure what I can offer anyone in return, but I guess we can discuss that later.

[After that, she had intended to turn her communicator off, but there was another burning question on her mind, lately. For this inquiry, she hesitates even longer, before finally spitting it out.]

Also... does anyone know if the masks give you any power or benefits? Hahaha? For a while, I had a bad feeling about them, but lately? I've been wondering if maybe I've been thinking of things in the wrong way.

[LB positions her deceptively cute mask next to her face, mimicking the expression with a smile.]

Besides, I'm no stranger to wearing things that are unsettling.

But - ah - that's all, I guess. Eeheeheeheehee... thanks in advance.


[[I've got it planned out for Peter Parker to fix the suit, but people are still welcome to inquire about it!]]

That's a hell of a suit. Where'd you come across a thing like that?

video

[fuckinghysterical]

It is, isn't it? [She smiles briefly, cocking her head to the side.] It was given to me by the R&D department of Outer Heaven -- hahaha -- that is, the company I worked for, back in the world I originated from.

It's one of a kind, but I had a couple of other unitmates that had similar suits.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

What's it do? Any special stats or anything?

[justamobster]

M'decent at fixin' small things, but that looks like it's outta my league, doll. Sorry.

Ain't noticed any changes from wearin' mine.

voice;

[fuckinghysterical]

Heheh, don't worry about it; I've had people affiliated with science fields tell me it was complicated for even them to understand.

But - ah - no changes at all? That's strange... I wonder why these things would show up, then? There's got to be a better explanation than just for decoration...

voice;

[justamobster]

And a science man I ain't.

Maybe they're here t'remind us. Like that one fella said about people gettin' comfortable... I mean. I been... seein' things when I wear mine. People who ain't really here.

[supfirehawk]

Did everyone get a mask except for us newbies?

audio

[fuckinghysterical]

I take it you came on this latest jump? [Or at least she assumes so, as she doesn't recognize the other woman's voice.]

Maybe -- haha -- that's really weird that they wouldn't give one to everyone, but maybe it was a time sensitive thing?

Either way, you might be lucky; I tried destroying my mask before, only to have it come back, over and over again.

audio

[supfirehawk]

Yeah, I just got here. There must be some point to them if they keep giving you more. [Not that she sees much point in anything this place has, but that's a lot of effort into making sure someone has a damn mask.]

audio

[idkmybffjessie]

Never seen a suit like that before. What's it do?

audio

[fuckinghysterical]

A lot of things, heehee!

But more specifically? It can blend into the environment, shapeshift a little, gives me some bombs, and four tentacles that can do just about anything, weapon-wise. Heeheehee... and uh - it can squirt out ink.

Why do you ask? Are you a fixer type?

[parkours]

Oh man-- [ Peter's excitement gets the better of him, and all professionalism forgotten. He's never seen one of those suits before in his life, and while there's a request to fix it, right now what he wants is to take it apart, watch it twitch, see how it works.

He's far too occupied to even notice her behavior, that she's hiding something, the mask next to her, because all he wants to do is just ask what it does. ]

Never seen one of those before, but uh, how soon do you need it?

video;

[fuckinghysterical]

[It takes a second for it to register in her mind, but once the fact that she finally found someone that was maybe capable of fixing her suit here, a broad smile crosses her lips.]

Well, it is one-of-a-kind, but -- heehee -- sooner, rather than later, would be nice, but I have no specified time I need it.

What is the purpose of such a suit?

Text

[fuckinghysterical]

stealth missions mostly.

but it has other combative benefits.

why do you want to know?

[This was that man she ran into, during that weird Otherworld experience, wasn't it? Yeah, she's going to be a little guarded here.]

[ironsights]

Don't wear your mask.

[fuckinghysterical]

because of ghosts?

or is there another reason to avoid it?

voice;

[sweetmotherofgod]

From what I've seen? They give you the power of going fucking nuts. Don't touch the damn thing.

voice;

[fuckinghysterical]

Eeheehee... at least the opinion on the masks seem to be consistent. Are more people seeing ghosts, or is it more of the "agitated and paranoid" thing?

[tyrians]

that your octopus suit yo

[fuckinghysterical]

it is!

its just that its a lot cooler when its not broken. :c

video.

[gropes]

Suit was made in Korea!
Should be an easy fix!

video.

[fuckinghysterical]

[LB blinks and then furrows her brows at his reply.]

Wait, how would you know that?

[a beat.]

And I'm pretty sure it wasn't made in Korea, eheh!

[mostsuitable]

Not sure if you've accepted any offers to check out and repair your armor, but you can add another to the count.
The name's Dirk Strider, and I've already done some robotics work for other people around here.
There's my name, and you see my number 012 » 200.
Feel free to holla if you're down with my offer.
Also, no hard feelings if you don't. But could I at least have a look at it, anyway?

[fuckinghysterical]

there was a man who offered but i appreciate your offer too regardless.

but you sound really qualified at this kind of thing.

maybe if nothing else you could talk to that peter parker guy and see if he could use your expertise on it?
