[Sound of someone pounding on a door.]

Okay, okay! Cut it out! It's the middle of the night!

[Sound of footsteps, followed by a door opening.]

Who're- Hey! Don't just walk in here!

Figured ya'd be stayin' somewhere less borin'. Ya got food in this place?

[Sound of a fridge opening and someone rummaging around inside, followed by a yell of pain as it slams shut.]

The fuck was that for!?

What the hell're ya doin' jus' walkin' into my apartment!? Who the hell're you!?

It's fuckin' cold outside. If I'm gonna be saddled with a damn Tamer the least ya can do is make yerself fuckin' useful.

Wait, you're my partner? Why haven't you answered any of my messages then?

Cuz I didn't feel like talkin' to a useless pile of shit. So do ya got anythin' to eat or not?

Who the hell do you thi-urk!

Huh. Sorry 'bout that. Didn't think I'd hit anythin' down the-urk!

[Pained, but smugly.] Didn't think I would either.

[Sounds of punches being thrown. Scuffling sounds continue until the D-Comm shuts off.]

Sure is a lotta snow here all at once. An' I bet ya don't really wanna hafta shovel yerself out. So call me, Jio Freed, instead, an' for a few BITs I'll come over an' clear yer paths for ya! I'll be doin' jobs in the order I get 'em, so be sure to call fast!
component_1i: (Strabimon)
This is all you fuckin' Tamers' fault, ya know. We never had to deal with five feet of snow at once, shitty music, or talking mistletoe before you showed up. How about you all kill yerselves an' leave this world alone?

Oooh. Someo-[Connection Terminated]

[The camera comes on to show the face of a kid with half-black-half-white hair, one red eye and one gray eye, and white and black triangular marks on his cheeks.]

Hi, I'm Jio Freed. It's nice to meet everyone.

I'm lookin' for work right now, so if anyone's got any jobs they need doin', I'm yer man. I can do bodyguardin', movin' stuff, yardwork, whatever ya need, so long as yer payin'. Jus' gimme a call.

An' if my partner's seein' this, you should come here so we can meet.

[Video feed ends.]

[There's a clattering sound and the camera comes on from next to the edge of a sheet on the floor of a hospital room. A pair of feet paused mid-stride can be seen nearby, pointing away from the camera.]

Nu! [The feet shift slightly as if their owner is about to turn around, then return to their previous position and take a careful step.] Whatever. Once more and then a break.

[The owner of the feet carefully walks to the far side of the room and back again. Their left leg is obviously recovering from some injury. Once they reach the camera, a right hand with what looks like a green stone embedded in the palm reaches down and picks it up. There's a brief shot of Jio's face as the camera swings around the room before it's left pointing at the wall behind the lamp on a bedside table. The creak of the bed and some exhausted breathing can be heard faintly in the background for a while before the camera shuts off.]
component_1i: (crying)
Ugh...ow!

...WHERE THE HE-ow! [a hiss of pain] Where am I? An' when'd I break an arm an' a leg? Last thing I remember's... No... No... [the sound of crying] Ruby...

Dammit...

Someone come and get this fuckin' Tamer outta my territory. I'm sick of draggin' his ass around.
component_1i: (determined)
This is Jio Freed's D-Comm. Leave a message an' I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

[Beeeep]
