Ten minutes.

I'll give you ten minutes to explain where I am, how you did this, and to lower the barrier around this island.

Erik-

[coinmover]

Charles.

I see my helmet isn't with me. Are we inside your head?

[calmyourmind]

I almost wish that were the case, my friend...

[coinmover]

Then they've taken you as well.

I'll have this straightened out shortly.

[calmyourmind]

I should almost like to see that. But I am afraid not, Erik. I have been here for half a year now, most others, longer than I. To my knowledge no one here has ever managed to make contact of any kind with our abductors.

[coinmover]

How hard have they tried?

[calmyourmind]

Do try not to start a war, Erik. There are innocent people here.

[coinmover]

A war requires an army. All I'm going to do is teach a lesson. And anyone not standing in my way has nothing to fear.

[calmyourmind]

Yes. I'm sure they'll listen to your lesson like well-behaved school children and not at all throw you into the ruins with your power cut off.

Would you at least care to know anything about the place you are now occupying before you attempt to bring it down on your own head?

[coinmover]

You have my attention.

[calmyourmind]

Over the network could prove to be an unwise decision considering recent events. We could meet at the pub, perhaps?

I would rather not have this discussion around my roommate.

[coinmover]

The pub.

All right. But I won't be delayed long, Charles. I will not be penned up.

[calmyourmind]

I will meet you there. Can you find your way? I could-

send you a map.

[coinmover]

That will do fine.

[calmyourmind]

Well. This is a surprise.

[coinmover]

For both of us.

[notvictorious]

mierda

PRETEND THIS IS IN SPANISH

[coinmover]

I'm not here to hurt children. You've got nothing to be worried about.

GENIUS LETS GO WITH THAT HERE TOO

[notvictorious]

I'm not a child, and I know who you are. This isn't Genosha, you can't hurt people here.

[coinmover]

...Genosha?

[notvictorious]

um.. Nevermind.

[coinmover]

Too late.

It's an island north of Madagascar. I've never been there.

Who, exactly, do you think I am?

[notvictorious]

Look if you're not gonna hurt anybody, I don't want any trouble. I really don't wanna see if you could shortcircuit me for good.

[coinmover]

Short circuit...

Not likely, no. Though I never said I wouldn't be hurting anybody.

[notvictorious]

These are regular people, you can't step all over them.

[coinmover]

Regular people erecting forcefields and kidnapping hundreds with teleportation?

[notvictorious]

Definitions of regular fluctuate depending on who you're talking to..

[coinmover]

I have plenty of reasons to keep my collateral damage to a minimum.

[notvictorious]

Namely that you don't know where we are, and a bunch of unnecessary casualties might make people reluctant to talk to you?

[coinmover]

Talking is less demonstrative than what I had in mind.

[notvictorious]

Great.

[notvictorious]

Please.

[coinmover]

I will do the minimum necessary to break this prison... and no less.

[reanimated]

Oh Christ. That's never good. Who's this wanker?

[notvictorious]

I'll text you.
