Action + Video - I'm off on this super fun adventure
[ARRIVAL; Action]
[It's been something of A Day for Louis. A roller coaster of some really awesome and some really horrifically terrible shit. One minute, he was standing over that absolute jackass, Abel, and the next he's stumbling out of the first floor storage room out into the corridor with some comedic arm flailing. He catches himself, then stills, glancing around the space that is definitely not Ericson's courtyard.]
Toto, we're not in Kansas any more.
[He lets out a soft laugh that's toeing a little too close to hysterical. Carefully, he slides what looks like (and turns out IS) a chair leg with nails rammed into the top from an inside pocket of his held-together-by-love-and-duct-tape trenchcoat. For the observant, there's a blood stain on the upper arm, dry, a few weeks old, but definitely there, and definitely around a recently duct-taped hole. He raises his makeshift mace as he edges to a window, peering out at the perfect, beautiful Walker-free grounds.]
Oooookay, Lou. You're having a little bit of a psychotic breakdown. That's okay, that's fine. It's been a weird day. You knew it would have probably happened eventually. It's all good. Someone'll snap you out of this any second now.
[If you're heading towards him or passing him by, congrats, you've got his attention, he'll wave at you with his free hand.]
Hi there, mental breakdown conjuration. How's it hanging? Good? Good. I'm great. Not freaking out at all.
[LATER; Video]
[Once he's been filled in on what's actually happening (but still not utterly convinced this isn't some kind of stress-induced hallucination) Louis picks himself a room. He has his first hot shower in literal years, and even trusts the (magic????) closets to give him a new set of clothes. Aside from the trenchcoat. That remains as filthy and duct-taped as always. He's not parting with that for anything.
He sets himself up in the kitchen, where he sets up his communicator with a few false starts. It's been a long-ass time since he got to play with actual electronics. He's got a veritable feast on the table around him- ranging from god-awful junk food to fancy-ass steaks. They never truly starved in the school, but when all you have to eat for nigh on eight years are variations of rabbit, fish or berries, you can't help but indulge. He'll regret it later, when his system freaks out from suddenly having too-rich nutrients again, but that is a risk he's absolutely willing to take. He grins, giving the camera a thumbs-up. He doesn't get what's happening at all, but he can't just sit still, this...this keeps him active.]
Hey there, fellow captives-slash-mental breakdown prisoners! The name's Louis and I'm brand new to this... whatever it is. AnyHOO, seen as it sounds like I'll be here for a while, I thought I'd get to know you a little better. [He raises a dirty, dog-eared pack of playing cards t the screen.] So! If any kids wanna come to the kitchen and share in my bountiful feast and have a good old game of War, you're totally welcome to. Highest card gets to ask a question to the other person, fun, right? Or, I guess, you can be boring and do it over the video instead. What'd you say?

Thanks for the sympathy. [He almost mutters under his breath as he leans his elbows on the table and stares at his deck.] That stupid zombie apocalypse is probably better than the hostage situation, I bet...
no subject
[He shrugs.]
Ours technically turned into one of those. Hostage situations. There's this group called the Delta- they attacked our group, kidnapped three of them. They want to turn us into kid soldiers for some war they have with another group.
Though...y'know, no homicidal bears that I'm aware of.
[Just shitty people, being shitty.]
no subject
Oooookay, yikes. I'm guessing you got pulled out before you got to save them?
[There's probably a shitty person behind the homicidal bears, but still.]
no subject
[The 'p' gets popped out. He's deeply worried about them. Worst still, he knows he's only not with them because Clementine chose to rescue him, at the expense of Violet. He's glad she did...but he's not glad Violet was the price. ]
It happened [a squint, a cant of the head] like...five hours ago? We got one of theirs, though. They left him behind. We'll find out where they're hiding and get our people back.
no subject
Perfect! Now all ya gotta do is make the sucker talk.
[There's an evil little smirk on his face that doesn't quite reach the eyes properly.]
Luckily for you, if Wonderland ever decides to spit you out, it'll be right when you left off. So, at least you won't miss anything.
no subject
[He has NO LOVE for Abel. They'll do what they need to do, to get the information they need. Their world has no room for playing gentle any more.]
That's good. I wouldn't want to miss out on the chance of getting them home.
no subject
Yep! Enjoy your involuntary vacation from reality before you go get your revenge!
no subject
[They've got to make good on Mitch, too. He would have been great, he would have blown the shit out of all of them. ]
