[ 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. ]

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

No, that's no good. The curve of Pepper's skull. Can you feel if it's whole? And your shoulder, how does the movement of it feel? The term used for...what was said? What they said about myself and S'roki was 'avulsion'. If you intersect, the skull is the wrong place for it to happen.

Thanks for the image there, pal. The cons are definitely outweighing the pros on that line of thinking, but you've got a point. Better figure out whatever the hell this's about 'fore trying anything drastic.

[infernoandhearth]

Bruce will know how to help, but I'm still a bit worried about it, I've not seen it with heads, yet.

[latenightfondue]

I guess you're gonna see it soon enough, buddy, huh? Stick around, could be a show to go in the history books.

[infernoandhearth]

Perhaps. I doubt Bruce will let me in the room.
