[ As the audio comes on there’s the sound of arguing and pained yelps. ]

Ow! Howard, my ear, watch it please!

It's harder than it looks to operate this beautiful piece of technology with just the one hand, doll.

[ The shuffling continues a moment as he tries to hold onto and poke at the device with one hand, the other unable to stretch out without pulling Pepper over and himself with her. ]

There, that...should do it.

[ Pepper swears under her breath ] Ugh this is mortifying. Okay. I’d help but I’m right handed.

Got it. Right. What was the point again? Oh! We got ourselves a situation here - it's quite fascinating, don't you think? - okay, maybe not that fascinating, but - the point, right. No one should go out alone. Scratch that, everyone should stay in. And keep a weapon handy. That cover everything?

In other words, the circus is abducting more than just its audience members; they’re taking people indiscriminately off of the streets. Please everyone, be careful. Also, someone send help? I should think that message is high on my list of priorities right now.

[ ooc: Pepper’s head is sewn onto Howard’s shoulder. From a distance it looks like they’re sharing a sentimental moment, but really they’re in agony. In some cases more than just the physical kind. ]

If ever we needed a reason to put a stop to them -

Pepper, when were you taken?

[threeolives]

Sif, promise me you'll be careful.

Just this morning.

[asofwar]

Careful, careful - I am being nothing but.

[ Howard repositions the thing at an angle so that Pepper appears upright, sort of, on the screen. He'll just be there, letting them chat, distracted by poking at their situation. ]

[hulkbusted]

[ohhhh...no...]

Pepper. Not you too.

[threeolives]

Yes, me too. On the off chance we get out of this, any chance you could separate us?

[hulkbusted]

I can, but...it's not going to be good.

I'm not,leaving you there.

[latenightfondue]

[ Don't mind Howard, he'll just be...there. ]

[hulkbusted]

[He can hear you breathing, Howard.]

This has become particularly awful. [Because, no, not Pepper and he cannot even do anything.]

[ And she really doesn't want Serrure to have to see this, part of why it wasn't a video broadcast. ]

Serrure, are you alright?

[latenightfondue]

You're telling me, pal. Do you got your own little situation?

[infernoandhearth]

Oh. I hope...will they have... How are you attached?

[latenightfondue]

Potts took to resting her head on my shoulder if that paints any kinda picture for you.

[threeolives]

Like Howard said, my head is sewn to his shoulder.

[tarot_witch]

Such a charming sight~

[threeolives]

You'll excuse me if I disagree.

[latenightfondue]

Make quite the couple, huh?

[She's not caged anymore. That's something, right? She's currently in a cave in an uninhabited part of the beach, just watching this. The device is perched on a rock so the angle is shoulders up. She writes in the air with one finger, still very much a fiery version of herself. Slowly;]

I hope this resolves itself soon. [A pause. Her arm hurts.] And thatn you two do not hurt too much.

[threeolives]

Oh wow. Me too, Charlie.

We've got Dr. Banner working on it, doll, you don't gotta worry about us. I'd work on it myself, but I'm kinda tied up. [ He's awkwardly peering to the device as he butts in with this, and he's noticed the lack of speaking. ] Y'got someone coming to you?

[fe_male]

I knew my ears were burning.

[threeolives]

Tony!

[latenightfondue]

Can't speak for my own, but I'm betting Ms Potts' ain't fairing too well either.

If you plan a rescue, I can provide you with layouts. They are general, but I have been there before.
