{Unified Universe Project}

[There’s a clicking noise, then a burst of static, before a moment of silence. A male voice speaks first, recognizable as Greg’s.] Did it work?

[A female speaks up.] Is it a plant? No. How should I know if it works? Mine got eaten by the Hungry Vine.

[A third voice speaks up, a new male.] He was asking in general, not you, Abbot. And yeah, I think it’s going. But not video. You’re the codemonkey, fix it.

[Greg snorts.] Fixing, fixing, bug boy. You go play with your beetles, I’ll get this… there.

[The video flickers on, showing Greg, Caroline Abbot, and another young man who resembles Greg slightly. ]

[Greg nods happily.]
Guess what? We have blankets! [He holds up stiffer-looking greenish-white blankets.] We’re going to share! Abbot can explain!

[Caroline sighs.] They’re plant fiber. I modified the Hungry Vine to have stronger limbs, and—

[The other guy shakes his head.] She’ll talk for hours. Look. Plants became blankets. It’s not good weather for them, but you’ll have them. Anyone wants to pick them up, we already dropped off a load at [x,y]. Outreach and shit, since our PR department is fuc—

Matthew! [Greg’s voice is sharp.] There’s a lady present.

[Caroline blinks, staring at Greg.]

[Matthew snorts.]
Fine. Since our PR department is sleeping around instead of making sweet, sweet love to all of y—

[Greg reaches over and shuts the sound of the PCD off. He and Matthew talk for a moment, while Caroline looks very awkward. She plays with a vine that’s crawling up her arm, smiling at it. The boys stop talking, and Greg rolls his eyes and turns the sound back on.]

[Matthew sighs.]
The PR department isn’t doing its job. So we’re doing what we can. Better?

[Greg nods, then looks off to the side.] We’ve got to stop transmitting for now. Guard cycles. But we’ll answer questions in a few minutes. It should be safe.

[He smiles, and with a quick wave, he shuts off the PCD.]

[[ooc: There are twenty-five plant-fiber blankets at the location listed.]]

[The video sputters back to life, and Caroline waves.]

Al!

Blankets. How benevolent.

PR?

[Greg looks disappointed.]

We can't... Blankets were hard as it was. But I-- we wanted to help...

Caroline, they didn't punish you for talking to me, did they? They said they wouldn't, that was the deal!

Did they keep it?

[Matthew is leaning back on a stool and nods.]

Public relations. They're the ones that are supposed to be doing this sh-- Helping out. They're not. And I am too being professional enough, Greg...

[A snort is heard off-camera.]

If you have time to waste making blankets in Summer, do something more practical.

[Caroline smiles.]

They kept to it, Al. Which got some of the others angry, because they talked, but then they got their files back. It got dropped. Especially when I threatened them with Acid Carnations.

[Caroline looks MIFFED.]

Yeah? You do better!

[Voice]

[identity profile] dreammaren.livejournal.com 2009-07-14 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So~ Why did you agree to do it instead?

[identity profile] law-of-reason.livejournal.com 2009-07-14 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering that this is the best you've done, as of yet? That's not exactly hard.

[Al laughs.]

Sounds like you. Gosh, I was so worried... I never meant to get anyone in trouble because of me.

I didn't get all the information I wanted, but I did get some, so I consider it a success.

It's good to see you're doing all right.

... Who the hell are you guys ?

[Caroline shakes her head, looking a little tense.]

He had a point. I did sign that contract. He wasn't... he wasn't in the wrong.

I wouldn't brag about getting info? I mean, you guys should have more than you do, but that's... That's not a safe topic right now. A lot of people aren't happy.

It's good to hear you too.

[Greg jumps out of his chair.] Oh, right! I forgot to introduce us! I'm Greg. The idiot over there is my cousin, Matthew, and the airh-- girl is Abbot.

[Caroline blinks.] I heard that...

[Voice]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-14 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Matthew winks at the camera.]

Out of the goodness of our hearts? Nah, that's bull. Because the assh-- Stop glaring at me, Greg. I'm helping, aren't I?

Because it's supposed to be done and it wasn't getting done.

[Kanzeon blinks, and frowns.]

That's not what I meant. I haven't seen you around in the city.

Technicalities. No harm done in the end, right?

I'm not afraid of them, Caroline. But thank you for the warning. I'll be more careful.

Oooh, one of these again.

Blankets, eh? Looks nice.

[identity profile] thefirstuchiha.livejournal.com 2009-07-14 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Always a joy to hear from you all~

[Her hands go on her hips, and she glares at the PCD.]

And I bet you haven't done anything to help relations. Is it too hard for you to try?

[Video - about fourty minutes later]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-14 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Greg smiles.]

That's the hope, Mister...?

[Voice]

[identity profile] dreammaren.livejournal.com 2009-07-14 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a boring job. I guess it comes with working with some stuffy people, right?

[Video - about fourty minutes later]

[Greg rolls his eyes.]

That'll be the day, when someone likes us...
