001 | ( VIDEO. ) | JULY 30th

[pubertytwice]

_{[ The feed clicks on and shows a kid appearing no older than 13 seated back in a chair, curled knuckles against his face. His eyes look tired and expression rather thin. He's wearing a uniform of some sort, though pieces of it look tattered or stained. One of his legs bounces in his seat (aren't his shorts cute?) but after a moment of mulling over what to say, he leans forward, hands folding together neatly. ]}

I already lack faith in gathering information from anyone here, and yet, here I am with inquiries. Serious responses only.

_{[ What could this boy possibly be asking for?? Where is the best place to get ice cream? Hardly so. ]}

Has anyone has ever even attempted hacking into any confidential files that could be in the government's system that operates here? Alternatively, if anyone has ever attempted to assassinate the Queen?

_{[ Oh.. what.. ]}

If not, is there any place on this goddamn planet that serves coffee? Decent coffee. Every place here is a shit hole.

_{[ That's it. No thanks for your time or anything. ]}

Comments

[ Of course he does. But she tolerates it, relaxing again slightly when he's gone back. Believe it or not, this standoffish lady doesn't enjoy invasions of her personal space.

She considers him for a few long seconds with his question, folding her arms over her chest. Then: ]

Your name?

[pubertytwice]

I'm called Number Five. Guess I never thought of a typical name to call myself.
_{[ That's a lie. It's crossed his mind. A lot. ]}

[distort]

[ Alright, that's a name she wasn't expecting. Probably because it's not a name. She looks like she may comment on it ... but shrugs, seems to accept it. ]

I am Widowmaker. [ She says it flatly, complete with an arched brow. Number Five, she expects, has as little to say about her name as she has about his. ] It suits me, I have never looked for another name.

[pubertytwice]

With a name like that which "suits you" I can only imagine what you could have done to be given such a.. lovely name.

_{[ He's not being sarcastic. It is a nice name.. for someone as skilled as she is, he thinks. ]}

How long you been in this kind of business?
