Video @Dr.Morbius

[doesnotsparkle]

[ The video opens to a messy head of black hair and red eyes with a slight glow. The skin is far to pale made worse by that dark hair, and the horrible goatee he has. What is it with super scientists and goatees? Behind the face is clearly a lab of some kind, He was in the hospital but on break.

He took a breath before smiling, trying to hide his teeth, which was useless as the fangs were visable as soon as he started speaking. ]

Good evening to everyone listening. My name is doctor Michael Morbius, maybe some of you know me, or of me. [ He hopes not, seriously. Last thing he wanted was people screaming about his body count.] I am not here as much to ask for help, I can figure most things here out myself. I am addressing everyone to more see has anyone found a common link between us who are brought here?

[ Please dont all be monsters, mmmkay?

He spoke on then in his Grecian accent.]

If their is already a group investigating this, please let me know. I am merely curious.

...That is quite fascinating, so you could be quite useful in this world. Are you working in the hospital as well?

[helpdesk_hero]

Tech Support call line.

[And his tone definitely says 'shoot me now'.]

[doesnotsparkle]

[ Sorry, that's the sound of laughter. At least he has a nice laugh for a monster. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

[Yeah, bask in his misery, asshole.]

The worst job of my life, repeating. At least there are no ninjas. No, do not ask. Just let me be miserable.

[doesnotsparkle]

Oh, come now, friend, you can not mention Ninja's and not share the tale.

[helpdesk_hero]

Actually, yes I can. But I can tell you that it involved ninjas being stupid when trying to fight Elektra.

You can probably fill in the blanks.

[doesnotsparkle]

Indeed I can, I know enough of her to piece it together.

[helpdesk_hero]

Exactly. Ninjas are stupid. Is all I'm saying.

[doesnotsparkle]

I would take ninja's over zombies, or worse yet, Spiderman, any day.

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't know, Spider-Man is pretty kick ass at video games I'm told.

And yeah, I am not a fan of Zombies.

[doesnotsparkle]

I wouldn't know. He merely tries to always be a cog in my plans everytime we cross paths. Plus, I do not play video games.

No one sane should be a fan of zombies.

[helpdesk_hero]

Well, given what your plans tend to be? I feel like it is fair.

[doesnotsparkle]

You don't know me. You probably know what was said or written in files.

[helpdesk_hero]

I know what others know about you.

[tommy’s not stalking david on the network, YOU’RE stalking david on the network.]

David ... dude. Not cool.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Seriously What the fuck?]

What? I do. But I will apologize.

Are you my keeper now?

[expeditiousness]

No, I’m just pointing out that there are people who know things about you, too. Everyone makes mistakes, y’know. Sometimes it’s stuff like blowing up your high school on accident, or, I dunno, kinda-leading a sorta-terrorist group. And I sure as hell wouldn’t wanna be judged for that if I ended up dropped in some weird city with a bunch of other people who’re in the same boat.

[helpdesk_hero]

We weren’t terrorists. You didn’t mean to do it. And I was just saying I know some. I...

[He sighs. And definitely sounds tired.] 

1/2

[expeditiousness]

I know that, and you know that, but other people’ve seen it differently. And if anyone knows what it’s like to be unfairly judged on reputation, it’s mutants, right? You might not have your powers anymore, but I’m sure you wouldn’t forget what it was like.

[tommy pauses to take a breath, then sighs it out. when did this become his life.]

Look, all I’m suggesting is you maybe lighten up a little and cut the guy some slack. Everyone deserves a chance to be better, but nothing’s more discouraging than people telling you how bad you are ‘cause of what you did in the past. Trust me - I’m kind of an expert on this. I was headed down a pretty bad path before Billy and the rest of the Young Avengers found me. All it took to get me to join the good guys was someone believing in me. Who knows? Maybe that’s what this guy needs, too. And if I’m wrong, and he steps outta line? I’ll be the first to sign up to take him down.

[expeditiousness]

Actually, he doesn’t look like much. I could take him down myself.

[doesnotsparkle]

And again, all histories are written by the Victor's. If I was half as bad as I am painted I wouldn't starve half as much as I do. I only prey on the wicked and usually I am seeking a cure for my disease.

[helpdesk_hero]

I would point out that I have never met Spider-Man and have met Hank. But you are right. It is wrong of me to presume.

[doesnotsparkle]

[ Michael blinked his red eyes a bit at that, before nodding. ]

I suppose it's fine. Reputations do matter, but I did hope to have a fresh start here.

[helpdesk_hero]

Yeah. I’ve been reminded of that. I mean, technically the US government classified me as a potential terrorist for working with mutants so I should know better.

I just have a few knee jerk reactions left from other people left in my head.

[doesnotsparkle]

[ He gave a nod to that.]

No hard feelings then? I understand, You mentioned Stephen as well as Hank, I was aquaintances with Stephen Strange back when I was still with the Midnight Sons. We never saw eye to eye. That said, I would love to meet you in person sometime and speak, I would question how you were labeled a terrorist but we all have had happenstances happen in our lives that paint us as the villains of our own tales.
