14th Match // Video - August 21st

[Krieg is in a much better mood than he has been in for months. So when the video feed opens up, his masked face is right up against the 'Gear, just like old times, as he excitedly announces:]

Today's my birthday!

Guess my age and win a prize!

And no cheating if you already know!

[Says the man wearing an almost entirely face-obscuring mask. No one said this was going to be easy!]

[You know what, as a police officer he wants to judge? As someone who just heard that the man comes from a hellhole of deadly things he knows he can't. Everybody has to do what they can to get by and, well, in a place like that? Maybe gun knives are necessary. This is a special rationalization for today.]

Definitely better than the wails of the damned. [Understatement of the year.] ... except one of the types of music I listen to is metal and the day I see a fucking Jigglypuff headbanging is the day that I know I've completely lost the last of my damn mind. [He isn't going to find metal here and he's pretty glad about that.]

But I'll keep hopin' for something bearably jazzy.

[Or for his brain to start helpfully tuning it all out. Which it does sometimes. But when he's trying to listen for small sounds he wants to throw something through a window.]

Not even a full fucking week. Me and my partner are currently holed up in this resort town until we recharge and get some more money.

[Hey, at least he'll get in shape with all the walking he's going to have to be doing. He knows he's impatient but he's got a low tolerance for irritation. ]

You're telling me. If he wasn't here I'd probably still be dragging my ass along that slow ass walk route. [Hank's not especially prone to getting a move on. ] Come to think of it, the next one's gonna be twice as long as that so I shouldn't bitch about it.

Who's Angel?

[Alright, the enthusiasm with which he talks about his best friend is pretty good. He's probably an alright guy.]

[But that raises another concern.]

How long was she away before? No fucked up coma or anything?

[If he likes to punch assholes then Hank considers that a redeeming quality too. That's his favorite quality in himself.]

So I could end up leaving my partner.

[Or vice fucking versa. He will completely crack if he's stuck in a place isolating himself again because his stupid android-not-android partner evaporated. Fuck, does he hate that idea.]

Well, congratulations. Hope she's the first one you share your cake with, assuming you prefer having one.

[He'd rather the honesty than the sugarcoating. It means he's prepared to face futures where either he or Connor end up alone. He had been before, but that was Detroit. Here, they're starting over, finding their footing, and ripping the rug out from under one could land the other hard on their ass.]

[At least this is convincing him that maybe this isn't the afterlife, but god, that thought was way fuckin' easier than figuring out what this really is.]

I didn't even celebrate my last birthday. Well, I got a cupcake and shared it with my dog. So make the most of it.
