[ 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. ]

No good ones, I'm afraid, but we aren't leaving you two in there. [Not that he cares a ton about this guy, but he's attached to someone he does care about.]

[ Hey, come on, Bruce, what did he ever do to you? ]

You're filling me with confidence here, pal.

[It's nothing personal, which is ultimately kind of the point.]

I could lie if you want.
