Accidental Video [Open]

[There's a loud clatter and the screen turns on. The feed is pointed straight up at the sky in some alley, before a ten-year-old boy's dirt-smudged face with white hair and blue eye's appears off center, looking worried. He sits down cross-legged on the ground, picks up the communicator, and now it's visible that he's wearing a very oversized (like several xl large adult sized) gray t-shirt like a tunic or dress with shorts and sneakers.]

Oh no! Kaiba-rhya's gonna kill me! Did I break it?

[He moves the screen really close to his face so he can look at the communicator but nothing looks wrong..? But..? He doesn't know? The screen really looks weird!]

Hello? Box? Are you okay?

[ooc: If anyone responds in text, they'll be able to hear the text being read aloud by the communicator to the boy.]

... You're still there, kid.

[Gladio sighed and rubbed tiredly at his eyes, then dropped his hand to shoot Tony a glare for laughing at him. There was a rude gesture just off camera before Gladio walked out into the garden with the phone.]

Look. Not angry or anythin. Just... how did you even get that?

Keep it. [Gladio sighed, frowning at the display. He'd said he wasn't angry, right? It wasn't his fault he looked the way he did. He wasn't trying to be scary or anything.] Put it back on before you catch a cold.

[Gladio dropped down and sat himself in the grass and the sun then offered up a smile.]

It's yours now. I've plenty. But isn't it kinda big on you?

[He was looking pretty amused, until the 'whale skin' remark caused him to wince.

Okay, the kid was small and he was big. It was natural the shirt would look like a tent on him. But still, it was a blow to his ego either way.]


So long as you're havin fun, kiddo. Just... how bout you ask next time, huh? No need to take things without asking. I would've given it to you.

Gladio. Name's Gladio. And I'm at home.

[He tipped his head up toward the sky and grinned.]

My garden, actually.

Hi there.

[He'd looked down at the screen with a grin just in time to watch it go black. He'd not even had a chance to ask the kid his name. Gladio shook his head and got himself up to take himself back inside to throw the phone at Tony and teach him a lesson for laughing at him...

... Twenty minutes later Gladio was back in the garden working through the pile of rocks he'd gathered the day before, sorting them into stacks of flat rocks, smaller rocks and larger ones. When he heard the voice, he glanced over his shoulder and took a second to find the face peeking out at him. Gladio sat back on his heels and waved the kid over.]


Hi again. Small world.
