[ Tandy is a horrible, horrible person and she will admit it but she isn't visible at first when the video starts. Nope, the video is a far-away shot of Diego Hargreeves in the middle of training at Phoenix Rising. He doesn't have anyone else in the room yet but he is doing some kind of workout, totally unaware of the fact that he is being filmed. Poor guy.

Tandy starts to speak then, briefly showing herself on camera before turning it back to focus on Diego once more. ]

Wanted! If you see this man out and about somewhere, please offer him a hug or a compliment. He might be a little uptight about it but, secretly, he loves it, and more importantly? He needs them. Preferably both, please. Just make sure to ask first but just hug him if he stands there for too long looking confused.

Also, if you are single and willing, ask him out. The man needs a date.

And...oh shit.

[ Tandy erupts into a little giggle when Diego starts to turn and she quickly ducks out of sight, the video shaking and spinning a bit as she starts to move. ]

Shit, go go go!

[ There will be a swirl of dark smoke that envelopes the screen before it goes dark and the video ends. ]


[ ooc: Posted with the approval of Diego mun! Also, feel free to reach out to/tag Diego if you want lmao ]

[ He finished his work out and hung a towel over his neck, drying his face then getting a drink of water when it seemed like people kept looking at him and their devices as if to make some kind of comparison. Diego glared back without knowing why he was getting any kind of looks.

"Excuse me. You ah, were great out there." The voice giggled then ran off. 'Thanks?' he uttered back with a wary look remaining on his face. Diego moved to find his device. He set his water bottle down and picked up the phone, eyes growing wide as he selected the recent unplayed message.

'Oh, you're dead. You're SO dead!' He immediately contacted Tandy. ]

[ Oops sorry, Diego, but you're getting no response. Nothing but a text. ]

The customer you are trying to contact is temporarily out of service.

Just remember Bowen... payback's a bitch!
Your next training session is going to be F U N. Definitely stuff to broadcast on the network since you seem to like doing that.

i swear to GOD the next person who tries to hug me, I'm cmoing to find you!!!

[crazy_white_girl]

The customer you are trying to contact is temporarily out of service.

But tell her if you do get a date out of this!

[bargain_batman]

I'm not telling you shit!
Look where that's got me!

Nobody's going to want to date the sweaty guy hitting a heavy bag.

Who even dates in this place that isn't a teenager or came here together from their world??

[crazy_white_girl]

Oh please, this isn't because of anything you told me.

And you don't know that! There is probably someone who is into that.

Are you telling me there is no one you find attractive here?

[bargain_batman]

So then wth is this???

Yeah! Other sweaty guys! I'm not into guys!

What does being attractive have to do with anything?

[crazy_white_girl]

Fun? You need to relax and go with it.

Okay, good to know but girls like sweaty working out guys too!

Fine, is there no one you're DRAWN to?

[bargain_batman]

Relax and go with it??? Are you high?!!
If I had a chance with anyone decent, I'm just a joke now!
Not that I'm looking for anything.
I'm drawn to kick your ass!

[crazy_white_girl]

You're not a joke! Roll with it. If anything, this will get people to talk to you because I don't know if you know it? But you don't really scream 'approachable' to some people.
But you must be kind of looking if you're upset.
Fine, you can kick it next lesson.

[bargain_batman]

You think I want people to talk to me? I seem like a people person to you? You've got me confused with someone else.

[ Except that Diego was a people person. Everyone knew him by name at the police station and the gym back home. The guilt over not being able to stop the end of the world had made him more cautious in Haven. Distant. To an extant or he wouldn't even be having this conversation. ]

No! I'm not looking. That's a recipe for disaster when it comes to me. Are you trying to get people killed???

[ Sadly, Tandy would have no idea that he wasn't being dramatic. ]

[crazy_white_girl]

I think you like people a little more than you let on. You pay attention, you ask questions and you have a big heart beside the whole less than approachable bit.

[ Plus he cares easily, she can see that. Maybe too much so since he seems to be constantly thinking and worrying about her relationship. She just thinks maybe if he had his own... ]

Whoa? What does that mean?

[bargain_batman]

[ Apparently he wasn't the only one who paid attention. With what she responded, it was almost impossible to be mad at her. Tandy wasn't wrong. He only had himself to blame. ]

Nothing. Forget about it.
Some people are lucky like you and Tyrone. The rest of us have no business being in relationships.

[crazy_white_girl]

Come on. Trust me, I'm not that great at relationships either but I'm learning. You could too?

[bargain_batman]

It isn't like I forget birthdays or anniversaries.
It's more like I'm a bad penny. The people I like end up dead.

[crazy_white_girl]

You lost someone? That you were dating?

[bargain_batman]

She was smart enough to break up with me first but that didn't do her any good in the end.

[crazy_white_girl]

What happened to her?

[bargain_batman]

She was murdered by assassins looking for my brother. She wasn't even a target. She was a cop, looking into the 2 lunatics on the loose and one of my brothers missing.

[crazy_white_girl]

I'm really sorry, Diego.

I feel like an asshole now. But I don't think that was your fault or had anything to do with her dating you at one time.

[bargain_batman]

She always believed the best in people. That's the only reason why she still talked to me after we broke up.

She deserved better than me. Everyone does.

[crazy_white_girl]

I don't think that's true.

[bargain_batman]

Believe what you want.

[crazy_white_girl]

I know, it's hard to believe it when someone tells you that they like having you around.

[bargain_batman]

What's that supposed to mean?

[crazy_white_girl]

You said everyone deserves better than you.

[bargain_batman]

Are you seriously trying to tell me that you want to hook me up with someone???

[crazy_white_girl]

Maybe it would be good for you!!

[bargain_batman]

You know what? I know what you're doing. I've been too hard on you when we train and you don't want to fess up to it. You're trying to distract me.

[crazy_white_girl]

Oh wow, you're totally right. You managed to figure me out.

[bargain_batman]

Not the first and won't be the last.

[crazy_white_girl]

Good job, Captain Crunch.

So...kill me later? I'm gonna go hang out with Ty for a bit and explain what I was up to.

[bargain_batman]

ttyl

[ambusti_terrae]

I might have to agree. He does look like he needs a hug.

Too bad I'm not a hugger.

[crazy_white_girl]

Compliments are welcomed too! Tell him that his clothes are very tactical, that makes him happy.

Also, I don't want you to get punched lol

( Tandy might just have won Nat over all the more with this video. it's a combination of equal parts adorable and underhanded. something she very much is herself when it comes to Clint. )

Do you know his type?

( asking for a friend. )

[crazy_white_girl]

[ Despite Diego's grumpiness over it, Tandy is rather proud of herself for this post. Also, if it helps her to win Natasha over a little more, all the better! ]

I should probably say something more than hot, right? Honestly, he needs someone strong. Not just physically but in all the other ways too. But also someone he can talk to and I think he might be a secretly affectionate guy once you get there with him.

He needs someone to show they care about him and that he matters. Someone who is aware that he's a good guy under all the bravado. Someone that doesn't mind being taken care of sometimes but can also give him a smack up the side of the head to keep him accountable.

[ She realizes that she is babbling a bit and trails off, looking almost sheepish. ]

That's just some of my take on it from all the times we've talked. He's been really good to me, kind of like an annoying older brother I didn't know I had.

[ Please, pass along to the 'friend'. ]
