2nd Contract - [video]

[conesoldstober]

[The video opens to a shaky view of the sky. It spins, revealing a that whoever's holding it is standing on the roof of one of the apartment buildings. There's a flap of bright satin sleeve before the device is flipped around and a grinning Howl Jenkins fills the screen.]

I trust the majority of you are staying safe and warm inside. Meanwhile, some of us have work to do.

Don't try this at home and all that. ALRIGHT THEN! COME AND HAVE A GO IF YOU LIKE, YOU OVER-SIZED PEPPER POT!

[A speck in the distance suddenly turns and speeds in Howl's direction. Cries of EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE are getting louder and louder.]

I've always wanted to do this.

[Howl stretches out one hand and shouts a series of words that seem to get lost in a clap of thunder. The dalek starts to spark, and is suddenly starts convulsing, waves of electricity passing over it like it's been struck by lighting. It lets out a dying cry and and crashes on the roof a few metres from Howl, sending off a few dying sparks.

Howl turns to the camera, beaming.]

Do let me know if you need any help with pest control.

How did you do that?

Down in the streets

[he_who_kills]

[Spots what you did. Not wanting to be outdone HWKdalek exterminates another dalek and a mailbox.]

[likeabreath]

Show off. Are you always so noisy?

[Says the woman with the bazooka, among other rather large weapons.]

[nebenstimme]

You... killed it?

[conesoldstober]

It's a rather complex spell, it would take too much time to explain it.

[conesoldstober]

[Impressive.]

[conesoldstober]

I take that entirely as a compliment, my dear. And I often strive to be, yes.

[conesoldstober]

There wouldn't be much point it just knocking it out, would there?

[waitedforyears]

Magic then. Gotcha. Go take out a few more, will you?

[conesoldstober]

Believe me, my dear, I do not need any encouragement on that particular front.

[nebenstimme]

It's no fun when people kill things.

[conesoldstober]

It's no fun dying by way of killer robot, either.

[likeabreath]

I meant it as one. Trust me, you'd know if I meant it otherwise.

Do your best to stay safe, yeah? Hate to see that pretty face zapped.

[conesoldstober]

For you, my dear Gwen, I will do my best to keep it in the shape you see before you now.

Do take care of yourself as well.

[There's another boom of thunder and a screech and fizzle as another Dalek crashes down.]

[likeabreath]

Oh, I'll be alright. It's not the first time I've played with these things.

[child_radical]

Mind coming through the Apartment Building #1? We got a few of these things roaming the hallways.

[waitedforyears]

Go make some Daleks explode then, what're you doin talking to me.

[nebenstimme]

Something so small can take down someone so big and strong like you?

[conesoldstober]

I believe you are the one who engaged me in conversation.

[Another lightening crack and a high pitched screech as another one goes down.]

[waitedforyears]

Well, I'm stopping it now so you go focus on your magic stuff.

[conesoldstober]

Good to know. It's seems as though there's been casualties already.

[conesoldstober]

Never confuse size with deadliness. It doesn't take a large being to sport a rather deadly laser gun.

[conesoldstober]

Sounds exciting!

[He flips through his device, finding the location.]

I can be there shortly.

[conesoldstober]

You are rather demanding, aren't you? I happen to have taken down two since we've been talking.

[waitedforyears]

You've got the means. And what if I am? Go on take down some more. [ A beat. ] Will it motivate you if I boss you around? 'cause I can do that, too.
