[ Alex has tried and failed to find Sofia, and her room is a little more bee-filled for his trouble. His other options? Metal guy. Who knows where he lives? Sinclair. Armed. He'll be on his guard. No good, no good, where does he go?

The hunt for the murderer's still afoot, right? The spliced-up murderer. What might he leave lying around his room? Something bright? Something delicious? It's worth a shot.

He'll have to be careful. Not show his hand too soon. Might get thrown off the case.

So he leaves the video off.

...Because without the video there's no way to tell that he's different. Riiight. ]

Nao-to?

[ ...ESPECIALLY NOT if his voice is tense and a little bit singsong _{shut up}. ]

Nao-to...?

((ooc: action tags are welcome; he's using a wall comm on the tenth floor.))

[ Hmmm... hmmmmmm.... patient is a good sign. Patients might listen to their doctors, at least long enough for the pheromones to take hold. A little gibberish is excusable, so is that faint remainder of a little double-resonance in his voice. Needs more testing still. Let's start off easy. ]

Of course you are, Alex. I was trying to reach you, but you did not answer. How are you doing?

[AUDIO]

[ He's still speaking in a stage whisper, but now with a rushing noise that means his mouth's right up against the microphone. ]

I want to fiind youuu.

[ c'mon say where you are c'mon ]

[AUDIO]

[Mmmhm.]

Were you trying to find me before? Would you like to explain the bees in my room, Alex?

[ Her tone is far from accusatory. No, she's starting to become quite convinced that nothing would seep through if she WAS trying to accuse or guilt-trip him now. This is... like tracking somebody, keeping them on the line long enough to... well, location certainly is not a top priority here. ]

[AUDIO]

[ Would you kindly wait for a moment while he turns away from the mic to blow up at... someone. ]

Shhhhh shhhh shhhhhhhhhh shhhut up I'm talking!

[ And he's back! Albeit now at a respectable distance from that poor breathed-on mic. Thank you for your patience, and please enjoy a tone which certainly is accusatory. ]

The - the - you - you weren't there.

[AUDIO]

[echo-of-utopia.livejournal.com]

I was looking for you. We must have missed each other.

Is somebody with you?

[ And doesn't she just know the answer to that one? ]

[AUDIO]

[40410.livejournal.com]

You weren't there about a a hhundred times!

[ He looks guiltily over his shoulder, reluctant to answer her question, knowing the answer would sound - well - would sound a little crazy. And he's notnotnot he just needs to get the shot to put himself back together - ]

Some somebody with me?

[AUDIO]

[echo-of-utopia.livejournal.com]

[ Have some pleasantly surprised !!! emoticons. She didn't think he would still react to the question. ]

You told somebody to shut up.

[AUDIO]

[40410.livejournal.com]

[ A moment's hesitation, then he's right up against the mic again, breathing into it and snapping out: ]

What if I did?

[ But - wait, if he's more open with her what if she's more open with him, she might tell him where she is, and that'd be good, very good, and in any case this worries him when he's unfortunate enough to think about it - ]

...I I don't think I shhhould be able to hear them. I think they should stay quiet.

[AUDIO]

[echo-of-utopia.livejournal.com]

[ And once again that is just about as sane as a Splicer answer is going to get. A few voices here and there never hurt anybody. Why, with the right guidance they'll hardly be a problem at all! ]

You are right, Alex. That was very inconsiderate of them.

[ She likes those results, she doesn't like how long it's taking her to obtain them. She thinks it's about time to begin with the final evaluation. ]

Alex, I would like you to switch to video for me. Can you do that?

[AUDIO]

[40410.livejournal.com]

If -

[ he's suddenly excited because ]

If you tell me where you you're hiding awaaay you can see me. See me face to to face to face. C'mon. Spill it.

[ then she'll give him plasmids, the same way Sinclair did if neccessary - ]

[AUDIO]

[echo-of-utopia.livejournal.com]

I would rather you did not bargain with me when your health is at stake.

[AUDIO]

[40410.livejournal.com]

[ ANY ANSWER THAT IS NOT A LOCATION IS A WRONG ANSWER. ]

"I would rather..."

[ That was mocking. This is furious. ]

Tell me where you are!

[AUDIO]

[echo-of-utopia.livejournal.com]

[ "Do not take that tone with me, young man!"
While we will refrain from using this exact phrase we will do our very best to have it swing by implicitly in our next statement. ]

You need to calm down, Alex.

[AUDIO]

[40410.livejournal.com]

Where the fuck are you? Doctor, doctor, I need my medicine, so where the fuck is it?

[AUDIO]

[echo-of-utopia.livejournal.com]

[ There are no right or wrong answers in this game. There are only Plasmid-y and not so Plasmid-y ones. Guess which one Alex just gave. ]

It seems you are in no state to see anybody at the moment. I will speak to you later. Goodbye, Alex.

[ Waiting for a reaction she doesn't turn the feed off just yet, but her mind has been made up. ]

What?! [ FIST SLAM! ] I said where are you, you stingy bitch, I I I - don't you fucking dare go away, I'll set your fucking room on fire! Yeah, y-yeah I can I can do that now, you wanna find out what I can do? Tell me where the fuck you are or else I I I -

[ time to take a request from the air! ] - or else I'll tear your spine out, yeah, yeah, I bet I have something that'll let me do that without you even even knowing it's ts it's coming so you better fucking tell me where you are unless you wanna be walking around like a big doctor-shaped jelly!
