[Unlike the last time, he accepts this with only a little fuss. His normal levels of indignant griping.

Sure. Fine. As long as she's not freaking out and bolting.

Also letting King lead this part of the conversation since he arrived on the scene after---

Whatever happened.]

[420blazeit]

[ she's going to keep hold of king and grab some part of intensity too. her emotional support dummies. ]

...nnnnno, nothing after that. [ she tries to think about the beach. she remembers going there and nestling into the sand to sulk, king hitting her up, and then joining her with some booze. she drank herself stupid after chit chatting and then... and then... ]

[ she shakes her head, her grip on the both of them tightening for a split second. how long is this missing block of time. what happened. why is she naked. where the fuck are they right now. ]

Going to tell me what happened, ..?

[puzzlekeeper]

Well...

[ He glances at Intensity, but -- Intensity can't exactly bail him out of this one, since he wasn't even there. ]

I don't understand what happened. You went into the water to swim, and after you'd been underwater for a while without coming back up, I went out after you...

But you were-- uh... changed.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Once King has finished---]

It's probably easier to show you.

[D.Va's phone chimes with a received message. It's a picture of her transformed
state taken obviously from Intensity's camera eye]

[420blazeit]

[ listens. ok, that... kind of sounds familiar. sounds like something she'd do too, unfortunately. looks from king to intensity. ]

[ changed? like... how? ]

...

[ ??? ]

Ok, are you... going to show me?

[ her phone is back at the beach, so there is no chiming here. it's with her clothes and probably being claimed by the crab she'd attempting to stomp into oblivion earlier. all your stuff is belong to crab!!! ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ... Oh.

To Intensity: ]

She left her things on the beach. Send it to mine.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[SMASH CUT TO THIS. Edited by Pulse

Intensity waits, blinking for a ping that never comes.

And then.

Oh. Right.

Sends it to King instead.]

[420blazeit]

I guess I'll need to go get it at some point... assuming the tide hasn't taken it. [ or the crabs haven't stolen it. ]

[ looks to king. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He just. Wordlessly hands over the phone, picture already pulled up. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Let's be honest, you probably have a bush in your mouth in this shot]

[420blazeit]

[ she takes the phone and looks at what's on the screen. it sure is a... thing. she'd call bullshit, but the coloring and the tentacles make it kind of obvious. not to mention she's got a couple of witnesses. ]

[ so she got drunk, went for a swim, blacked out, turned into a monster, and then... ended up here. ]

[ confused.
scared.
in pain.
s- scared. ]

...

That can't be me. [ shoves the phone back in his hands, grabbing the edge of intensity's trench and pulling it tighter around herself. ] I'd turn into a snake or something. Not whatever the hell stupid thing is.

[ denial,
#nailedit. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He pockets the phone and gives her arm another squeeze. ]

D.Va...

[ She's not fooling anyone, including herself ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There is no reason we'd lie to you about this.

[420blazeit]

It could just be a joke....

[ a cruel joke that’s definitely not funny. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

Seeing you upset isn't exactly my idea of humor.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And it wasn't like you were any more difficult to manage than you are normally.

[420blazeit]

So you’re telling me I just changed into that thing? Then what? How did we end up here? Beach isn’t exactly next door.

[puzzlekeeper]

There was a bit of a chase.

[ Understatement. ]

And then once we caught up to you, you picked us up and brought us here... I don't know why, exactly. But you made this nest first thing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You have an office somewhere around here?

[420blazeit]

[ sure seems like some details are missing... ]

I... see...
And that’s all?

[ looks between the two of them dubiously. ]

I used to have a few rooms here before I got my shop. For my woodworking stuff, but then when that upgrade came through I packed up my shit and left. Didn’t make sense to keep anything here, so no.

I know *you* do, Intensity, on a floor full of nothing but cameras and laser beams. [ makes a face. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

That's basically all. I Charmed you to calm you down -- sorry.

...

[ He points ]

You gave me a flower bush.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks over at the mangled bush]

You were overly concerned with it.

[And looking 1000% unapologetic for his laser grid. Sorry not sorry about the tail incident.]

[420blazeit]

[ she looks at his shoulder,
lifting a brow... though she's temporary distracted by the mangled bush. ]

And I gave you the bush because?
What did I do?

[puzzlekeeper]

. . .




[ SIGHS, and pulls aside his shirt, revealing the fresh bandage there. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Whoaaaaaaaa.









He actually admitted to it.

This is serious stuff.]
