voice, @widowmaker

[distort]

[ Good evening, Quarantine! Widowmaker's voice sounds calm and smoothly dispassionate as usual, and as French as ever, as she makes apparently a brief announcement: ]

If anyone plans to be in the area, there was a small breach of the outer fence near the zoo of the abandoned city. They are little things, nothing a few well placed headshots will not take care of — but quick. A few may have escaped my attentions.

[ She doesn't sound very pleased about that. Her night is definitely gonna be tracking down whatever monster she's referring that slipped in over the fence.

After a brief pause, she continues. ]

There is also the matter of Kane — Jacob Kane. A man with incredibly poor timing, it seems. He —

—is fine. Jacob’s… fine.

[ Don’t believe it. He sounds pained. There's another pause, longer this time, before Widowmaker's voice continues. ]

...Medical attention would be appreciated. I can send coordinates.

Really… really, I’ll be—

[ Whatever it is he'll be gets cut off as the broadcast ends. ]

[He's startled, almost as if he'd forgotten Cain was there in that split second of horrible, horrible memories. When Cain grabs him his skin turns glowing hot, for only a moment, but then he's back in the present and blinking away the thoughts. Okay. Yeah. He's here, he's not at the temple. He can handle himself.]

I... need a drink.

[That's all he's got to say, but... Cain is getting a grateful look. Looks like he lucked out in the friend department.]

[ The brief moment of heat doesn't shake him off. He's had worse (he's always had worse by now, and he looks forward to and dreads the day he'll find a new worst) and when it peters off immediately, Cain gives a breath of relief. His tension loosens and he nods. ]

With or without company?

[smokedout]

With. [He grimaces slightly.] Otherwise I might... not... hold back on myself.

[He may not consider himself a worthwhile person, but... he does know a few people who would be pretty upset if he wound out dead. Better to make sure someone's keeping an eye on him than cause Shigeru or Christian any grief.]

[aeturnus]

Yeah... All right. Come on.

[ There's a sigh but he shifts his hands to Dodger's shoulders to squeeze lightly before he lets them drop. ]

Got any place in mind? I don't know a lot of bars around here.

[smokedout]

Uhh... yeah. I know a pretty quiet place.

[And then they go there.]
