Hey, it's Peter! Leave a message. Or just text me like a normal person.

I have to send you something.

Look, at least give me a city so I can send it to a post office and you can pick it up from there.

[made_up_names]

fine ok
you can have my old address

[mysterioisthetruth]

Will that get it to you?

If it gets lost you'll owe me about $3000 and I don't think you can afford that.

You know what? Maybe I should just give it to you in person instead.

[made_up_names]

[ That. Okay that actually works, because there’s no way he’d be able to come up with $3000 if that happened. ]

uh. Yeah. In person
what even is it

[mysterioisthetruth]

The camera for the show. If you're going to be my cameraman, you'll need to practice.

[made_up_names]

Oh yeah that’s right
That’ll actually be pretty cool

[mysterioisthetruth]

So where can I meet you?

[made_up_names]

Park near the porter oughta work
You know which one i mean?

[mysterioisthetruth]

In De Chima? I know the one.

[made_up_names]

Cool
Then ill meet you there

Action - continue here?

[mysterioisthetruth]

Excellent. See you soon.

[And Beck will make his way to the park, a large package under his arm.]

YEP works for me

[made_up_names]

[ Peter ... is not there first, for once! Turns out that not being able to swing around the city slows you down. He shows up a few minute later, breath clouding in the cold weather. ]

Is - is that it?

[mysterioisthetruth]

[Beck greets Peter with a friendly smile, putting the package carefully down on a bench.]

Yes. Now I'm going to trust you to be responsible with this.

[He says, like a parent giving an expensive gift. He pulls out a camera bag which has a strap for convenient carrying. Unzipping that, inside is a professional video camcorder.]

Go on. Try it out.

[ooc: Link for reference as an example only, so it doesn't have to be that exact brand/model.]

[made_up_names]

[ Peter is ... well. Despite the relative warmth of their relationship lately, Beck crossed a line when he'd tried to control Peter's life. He will always be wary, as he is now looking at this clearly expensive piece of equipment.

But he also can't help being kind of thrilled about it. ]

Whoa. You weren't kidding.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You think I was going to be cheap with this, my greatest performance?

This has to be perfect. Which means you need to be the perfect cameraman.

[made_up_names]

Perfect might be a lot, but.

[ He's at least knowledgeable as he carefully hefts it, looking over the various features. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Hold it steady. Get a good framing shot. Make sure the audio is working.

At least do that much.

[He pauses, watching Peter a moment before adding.]

There is an instruction manual if you need it.

[But he expects Peter may be more like himself, experimenting to see what works first before resorting to checking any manual.]

[made_up_names]

I'll look it up online later if I have to.

[ Beck's exactly right. Peter's already meddling with the settings, trying to get a feel for it. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Seriously, Peter. The instructions are right there.

[He points to the bag.]

Just don't break it, okay?

This is not a gift. It's for professional work.

[made_up_names]

I know that. You're not gonna get good work unless I know how to do this properly. That means practice.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Exactly, which is why I'm letting you use it now.

[He stands back, arms spread wide.]

Go ahead. Take a shot.

[made_up_names]

... All right.

[ He obliges, taking a pretty decent picture. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Are you filming?

[He moves around.]

You have to be good with action.

[made_up_names]

[ He's following!! ]

Gimme a second to get used to it, okay.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Did you even check there were SD cards in it?

[Beck stops, raises an eyebrow. He has actually put those in himself but he's testing Peter.]
