[Luke has been missing for a day and a bit, and this is the first sign of him after complete radio silence. He's still Chloe, and she looks exhausted.]

The green thing isn't part of it, she's-- Don't go and use your zombie tactics on the leg ball. [That's all she manages before wearily shutting off the video. She's busy.]

[Meanwhile, out of the Underground charges a green ball of legs, like a sea urchin, only where all the spines are legs. Legs that look like they might belong to the Hulk, if the ball didn't have toddler-sized legs. Really muscular toddler-sized legs that add up to a heavy, round, human sized ball. It sort of run/rolls along, dodging ghouls occasionally and more often bowling them straight over.
Unfortunately, the same holds true for the living as well. Basically, it's making a huge mess.]


[ooc: The hulklegs is as invulnerable as the Hulk is but otherwise, you can stick it anywhere. This is your ball of hulklegs now. It belongs to everybody to randomly stick places.]

Uhhh happy uterine explosion day to ... did you name her yet? I got you a present. It's a snow cone machine.

I'm entirely unsure what people give others on this sort of occasion. I think this is appropriate, however.

I have not, not exactly. Bruce had a name... I don't think he'll want to use it. Perhaps he has another.

What are snow cones for?

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

For eating, of course. Cold and flavored.

Why would he not wish to use the name?

Permavideo

[infernoandhearth]

Oh! That sounds much better than I thought it did.

I doubt he will have been naming with a ball of legs in mind.

[doeswhathewants]

Whatever did you think it was? The name is odd, I shall grant you that.

Still his child, no matter the form. Better not to ask the Hulk. It might wish to name her something like Kitty Smash. On the other hand, that is rather a fun name.

A machine for making snow into cone shapes, possibly, or for placing snow into cones. I wasn't sure why.

She might be his child in particular. Perhaps he ought to name her.

[Bruce is, in short, gobsmacked. That might explain his main question.]

How do you know it's a she?

Video

[infernoandhearth]

I just sort of do. She might change her mind later. I don't know. I've not had one of her before.

[hulkbusted]

I...

[He's in his lab and the feed follows him as he goes to sit - not quite fall - on a stool]

... knew there was a high probability she wouldn't be human per se.

[infernoandhearth]

I'm sorry. [It's one of Luke's rare, entirely serious moments.] You've still the option of not bothering, you know. If you want.

[He's quiet for a long time, minutes passing while he thinks and says nothing before he stirs himself out of his thoughts and leans in close to the camera.]

You want to know something, Luke?

When I was a child, my father thought I was a monster. He hated me and he hurt me and when my mother tried to protect me, he killed her.

I am not my father.

[infernoandhearth]

No. You're not.

[Luke is quiet and thoughtful herself, for a little bit.]

I wish I could have been there. I wouldn't have let that happen.

That's nice to think.

I don't know what I can offer her, but I'll try.

[yourbestguysgun]

I kinda wanna ask but I'm not sure I'd really get the answer, y'know?

[ Because 1940s brain and all ... ] It - sorry, she - kinda looks like the Hulk. Only just his legs. More of his legs.

[infernoandhearth]

That's more likely than not, as he was her father.

[yourbestguysgun]

You mean Bruce, right? [ Because he's having trouble imagining the alternative. ]

[infernoandhearth]

Possibly? I'm not sure, I think it might have had the same effect either way.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He's trying to figure out how Bruce could have helped spawn a bundle of Hulk legs.

But contrary to popular belief, Bucky's not necessarily a jerk all the time. ] Congratulations?

[infernoandhearth]

I rather think I deserve those. She is a very large baby.

[fiveagainstradley]

Luke! Where are you, are you alright?

[infernoandhearth]

I'm fine, only tired. I'll be home as soon as the baby's safe. How are you? Any more zombies?

[fiveagainstradley]

No, no more. I think Chew's barking scares them off.

Do you have any idea where she went?

[infernoandhearth]

Good. I was most worried about that.

Aboveground? I don't think she likes the dark. Especially not with zombies in.

[fiveagainstradley]

I'll go out and help look for her, shall I? [ Don't try stopping him, he's already on his way out the door. ]

[infernoandhearth]

Bring a lighter. Matches aren't fast enough if you're set upon by zombies.
