The mate to a key and lips to a secret.

WHO: SKRULLOCK HOLMES, TONY STARK, EDWARD NYGMA, NORMAN OSBORN, DR. JOHN ZOIDBERG and YOU!
WHERE: The Quarantine Room.
WHEN: February 22nd (evening) to February 24th (afternoon).
WARNINGS: None necessarily? Bickering doesn't merit a warning.
SUMMARY: Skrulls in the dungeon. Well, one anyway.
FORMAT: I'll introduce the setting in paragraph, but you choose what format you prefer.


The area for the quarantined is spacious and clean. Although technically under police custody, the room is established in a large auditorium of City Hall. There are five walled 'dividers' that offer the quarantined the semblance of privacy. Never mind that every inch of the room is taped on camera -- cameras that Mitchell Hundred can control with a word. Never mind that there are armed guards on the other wise of each exit. Never mind that the communicators of the quarantined have been disabled from encryption capabilities.

They were allowed a bed. Access to any bathroom was to be monitored. Meals would be provided. They were handcuffed but not leglocked. If any of the number disagreed with their situation, heavier imprisonment was negotiable.

The quarantined were to be questioned by those in authority, or those who were experts on Skrull detection. Or those who thought they were.

Yeah, I guess.

[ a moment's pause ]

This is still dumb.

[ He lifted an eyebrow. ]

At least we found one.

[personal profile] gammas 2012-02-23 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't how many more there could possibly be. Finding one really isn't reason to start patting ourselves on the back.
liverletdie: (Who's undressing?)

[ His amusement melts away. ]

Do you know how many I found? [ His smile is strained now, before he drops it into a full grimace. ] Jennifer, I didn't find any Skrulls, no matter how many times I looked at the data, I couldn't find any before I was brought here. Did I ever find Skrulls? [ It was rhetorical, and he didn't wait. ] I'd say this is a step in the right direction.

Look, Tony. I can't be happy that we found one. That this is being done this way. That you're locked in here. I just -- [ she hesitates and then turns away so her backs against the divide thing ]

I didn't want to do this again. Not like this.
liverletdie: (You can be heroes again)

[ He raised both his hands so one could hold his beard, rubbing the scratchy hair in thought. ]

What we want to do, and what we actually have to do are often two very different things, I'm afraid. I'm not saying this is right, but at least we have one victory under our belt. It's something, at least.

[ she just stares up at one of the cameras ]

It's not enough to make up for anything else.
liverletdie: (Iron Man | srsly)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He looks at her. ]

You know how far I'll go, Jennifer. I'd go further than this, if it meant we would be able to get our hands on them.

[personal profile] gammas 2012-02-23 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
If you say things like that, Tony, you'd probably be okay with torturing people to get the Skrulls too, wouldn't you?

[ it sounds like she really doesn't want an answer though ]
liverletdie: (Iron Man | Skrulls are hot)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he swallowed, and looked at her with concern. ]

If I did, I would have already done it! I'm not going to torture people, Jen! Who do you think I am?

[personal profile] gammas 2012-02-23 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, I don't really know! The extent that you'll go to accomplish things, I -- [ and then she just cuts herself off ]

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He lifts an eyebrow. His mouth turns down in a frown, and he shakes his head. ]

I would never go that far.

[ she finally looks back at him, and she looks a little hurt ]

How am I supposed to believe that?
liverletdie: (Siiigh)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He starts, and then stops. ]

Sometimes, you have to go on faith. You know me, Jen.

[personal profile] gammas 2012-02-23 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she hesitates ]


Yeah, I -- I guess. [ but she clearly doesn't believe it ]
liverletdie: (I don't have time for this shit)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He frowns, almost sad. ] You don't sound convinced. [ And then, he wipes it off his face. ]

No matter, of course. I didn't expect everyone to believe me at my word.

[ she pauses, averting her gaze ]

I'm sorry, Tony.

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He only shrugs, folding his hands behind his head, awkwardly twisting them to get them both back there. ]

Don't worry about it, Jennifer. [ Some days, he missed SHIELD. ]

[ another long silence as she watches the guards around them ]

Do you think you'll need anything?
liverletdie: (Determined)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He lifts an eyebrow. ] I don't know, can you get coffee in here?
gammas: do not steal icons. (Default)

[personal profile] gammas 2012-02-23 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ shrugs ]

I could probably try.
liverletdie: (Ugh why?)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd appreciate it. I'd like to get as little sleep as possible.

For the obvious reason.
gammas: do not steal icons. (Default)

[personal profile] gammas 2012-02-23 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I get it. I'll talk to the guards, see what I can do.
liverletdie: (Flirt | ...in my hotel room)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2012-02-23 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You're a beautiful woman, Jen.

[personal profile] gammas 2012-02-23 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sigh ]

I know, Tony. No need to flatter me.
