[Video] OTA - plans

[As usual, the shot is from above, aimed down at him laying in his couch fort, chilling. He has his guitar across his chest and picks at it idly as he speaks.]

"Hey, so... I know that the District X thing is where I really should be going but... well... Honest answer is that I'm not. I really want to go to the concert, and you know what? I'm good at healing things, not as good at researching them. So. Yeah. There's that."

[He sounds unusually defensive, for Greg. He seems like he's trying to convince himself that it's okay to have fun, even while he's feeling guilty for not having been helpful during the sinister thing. Lookit people, a rare sighting - an insecure Greg!]

[Alric answers with a smile... although just a little strained, in his case, as well, like he's not entirely pleased with something.]

If it's any comfort, Mr. Deegan, I believe I will be at the concert, myself.

[gregorydeegan]

"By choice?" [he asked, noting that.]

[knighterrantofthedragon]

...mm. Not entirely.

[He flashed a smile, although rather more peevish than usual.]

It was decided that the situation with this... contagion was too hazardous. I have, I'm afraid, my orders--to stay out of District X, if at all possible, until matters are resolved. ......until such a time as it's clear there's something fruitful I can do there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a compelling argument to the contrary. ...but perhaps I can at least benefit from the opportunity to meet and speak with someone experienced in the peaceable support of 'mutant' rights.

"More or less my thoughts. I'm good with curing people, but researching a plague? That's more my brothers' area," [yes, if this were subtitled, an astute person might catch a reference to more than one brother in that,] "than mine."

[knighterrantofthedragon]

[Alric sighs a little, but smiles sympathetically.]

So. Distasteful as we may find it, I suppose we leave the front line to those best able to assist, for now, and busy ourselves elsewhere, mm?

[gregorydeegan]

"And if we can't help yet, might as well at least have some fun, yes?"

[knighterrantofthedragon]

...mm. Well, hopefully, yes. I shall you you there, then?

[gregorydeegan]

"Of course. Unless you thought I'd...blend in....?"

[knighterrantofthedragon]

...probably not that much.

[gregorydeegan]

[He laughed.]

"See you there, then."
