❅ [Video] un: captaincold

[frostyfelon]

[Leonard's a bit leery when he activates the video comm on his device and gives it a very intent look, as if he could see through it to the entirety of the network. Spoilers: He can't. He just likes making people uncomfortable, if the lengthy silence is anything to go by.

As a matter of fact, it stretches on so long that it might seem like the video was an accident and he wasn't aware he was broadcasting. Don't be silly, he's not that careless.]

Here's the thing, [He begins calmly with a bit of a lilt to his voice as he speaks.] I'm no stranger to space travel. What I don't understand is how my ship [He sure did call the Waverider "his". He hopes Rip is rolling over back in their reality.] fell through this rift with me, but the rest of the crew did not.

Anyway, I'm Leonard Snart, also called Captain Cold by some. I'm a Sagittarius and like long walks on the beach at sunset, rom-coms, and holding hands. [No, he doesn't. All of that was a lie except his name and alias. If his deadpan delivery says anything at all, it's that he's a sarcastic little shit.]

I don't need friends, but in my experience, allies come in handy. I'm more likely to lend a hand to an ally than a stranger.

Video, UN: REAPER

[hellshot]

Welcome to the fucking club. None of us know how we ended up in this fleet suddenly, and much less do we understand why we showed up without our respective... 'crews'.

'Captain Cold'... [Honestly, he shouldn't laugh, not with a name like Reaper. So he'll hold it back for now.] Looks like you'll have to get used to being lonely along with the rest of us.

Try to find some rom-coms to keep you company. Because the attitude of most allies you'll try to find up here are irritating at best.

[frostyfelon]

[Better than someone snorting over his last name. Not that he had any choice in EITHER his nickname or his last name. Both were given to--or rather, forced--onto him. He pays it no regard anyway. He doesn't even seem bothered by the mask, but he isn't bothered by much.]

I'm fine on my own. Always have been and always will be. But I wouldn't mind an ally or two when shit gets real.

Funny thing about that, my previous allies were irritating at best. It's a curse that follows me wherever and whenever I go.

[hellshot]

Tell me what you're capable of and I might consider myself an ally for you when things get rough. I've made it a point more than once over the network that I've got no interest in dealing with the civilians who get dragged onto the Eluvio.

There's been some real shit going down on the ship. I'm talking murder, on a concerning scale.

[He's talking like someone discussing the weather, that's definitely not concerning.]

Maybe you'll have better luck with Allies here. If you cherry-pick them, that is.

[frostyfelon]

I liberate highly expensive items from highly secure locations with extreme precision. Stealth, planning, efficiency, contingency plans-- I have the Waverider at my disposal and a gun that freezes anything solid.

[His contingencies have contingencies and he thinks on the fly in the worst situations. But Reaper might notice that his blasé attitude didn't seem to bother Leo in the least. He, himself, seemed very calm and indifferent.]

That a recent development, or has it always been a game of Clue: Space Edition around here?

[hellshot]

[Reaper takes a minute to think about what Snart just said. Just a minute, before he points a curved claw at the video feed with a scoff.]

So you're a criminal. A thief, to put it in crude terms. [Honestly, his tone doesn't bear any sort of snide thought or distaste; maybe Gabriel Reyes would have had a problem with convicts, but Reaper certainly doesn't.]

I've dealt with cryotechnology in the form of weapons before. Pain in the ass. Meaning having one on my side wouldn't be a bad thing.

And when I first showed up? It was boring as hell here. Clue: Space Edition only recently started when we came back from a planet a little while ago. Think something's playing with us. Or trying to get some sort of revenge.

VIDEO, UN: GEKOKUJOU

[liquidate]

(the stare-down is met with a quizzical look and a heavy tilt to his head, but he's quickly distracted...)

Your nickname's really Captain Cold? That's the best one I've heard yet!

[frostyfelon]

[Shortest staring contest in the history of staring contests.]

I can't take the credit for that one. Some kid I met back home came up with it and it just stuck.

[Even if he is sort of assuming that was sarcasm on Suigetsu's part. He thinks the "Captain" part is a little ridiculous.]

If that's the best, I can't imagine what the worst would be to those standards.

[liquidate]

(he completely, 100%, honest-to-god loves the title. wants one for himself, even. kind of actually super jealous.)

I wish I had one, but I'd probably just end up Captain Wet and that's not cool at all.

(leonard didn't ask for this...)

Is it because you seem like a frigid bitch, or that maybe you have an ice ability?!

[frostyfelon]

[Leonard always asks for this because he's a frigid bitch.]

Both. [OH SO DEADPAN. OH SO UNAMUSED.]

Do I even want to ask why you'd call yourself wet? If you shake on my furniture, I'm shoving you out an airlock. The upholstery's one-of-a-kind. [Was that a joke? Sure sounded like it.]

If the kid that gave me the name shows up, I'll be sure to point him in your direction for alias consultations.

un: felix

[douchebag]

[ Captain Cold? What the fuck kind of nickname is that? It's worse than Sharkface, by Felix's estimation, but slightly better than, say, Captain Cool would be. ]

What kind of ally are we talking about here?

[ Because there's do-gooder moron kind of allies, which Felix has zero interest in, and his kind of allies. ]

 The kind that'll help you move a body or the kind that'll help hide you when somebody's looking to make more bodies?

[frostyfelon]

[That tugs at the corner of his lips. Not quiiiiiite a smile, but less of the deadpan frown.]

I don't hide. Take that as you will, but I've just found that a team can be useful in certain situations. On the other hand, as long as no one crosses me, I won't have to hide any bodies.

[douchebag]

[ Oh, now see, now he's getting Felix's hopes up. ]

Hiding's for chumps, it's true, but man, the universe is full of a lot of chumps. [ A beat as he considers. ] And a lot morons who don't know when to quit before they cross the line.

[ He's hoping the emphasis conveys the fact that he is not averse to making bodies that need hiding. Not averse at all. ]

Name's Felix. Also in the market for allies.

[frostyfelon]

It's a sad fact, but one that we have to live with. In my line of work, it's the chumps and morons that make the best targets. [A casual shrug. Just because he's out saving the world doesn't mean he isn't still a thief. Without the world, there won't be people the rob. You just have the look at the bigger picture, or so he tells himself.]

You already know my name. I guess that makes us allies, Felix. How long've you been here?

video; un: greenememmachine

[sweatysometimes]

You really call yourself Captain Cold?

[Pidge you're a Paladin of Voltron you have exactly zero room to talk.]

[frostyfelon]

I call myself Cold. Some people feel the need to precede it with Captain.

[He's still a little floored that that's the name people are poking fun at.]

[sweatysometimes]

Why? I mean of all the aliases to use, why Captain Cold?

[Pidge sounds more amused than confused by now.]

Sorry, just Cold. Do you have bad circulation or something?

[frostyfelon]

It's because I'm known for being a ruthless, coldhearted killer. [He offers without the slightest hint of humour to his tone or features. After a beat, he shrugs and adds,] Or, it might have to do with the fact that I'm in possession of a weapon that can instantly drop the temperature of anything it hits to roughly minus 460 degrees. Cold.

Take your pick.

I don't know how many allies you're going to get when you're not including much incentive besides offering long walks on the beach and holding hands.

[frostyfelon]

Who doesn't like long walks on the beach while holding hands?

You're right. But it's enough incentive to pique your interest to the point that you decided to reply. Or are you just offering constructive criticism out of the goodness of your heart?

First rule of business, never expect someone else to watch your back. But having someone at your side can make things far more productive. I run a tight ship back home, but if you're looking for someone to hold your hand, you're barking up the wrong tree.

[whorls]

How disappointing. And here I thought you were offering to hold hands.

What kind of ship are we talking about?

[frostyfelon]

Sorry, friend. Gonna have to get your affections elsewhere.

The Waverider. A space/time ship. Time drive's offline, though. I'm a crook with a heart of gold or so I'm told by a kid in a red suit. Not sure how accurate his opinion is, so take it with a grain of salt. Or the entire salt shaker. Up to you.

Video | un; Lady Sif

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Leonard would probably have found Sif's completely deadpan stare during his long silence pretty hilarious if he could have seen it. She barely even blinked.

She can't really offer any theories about what happened to his crew, and as for those interests he listed (no, she absolutely does not pick up on the fact that he is trolling) they don't particularly impress her. ]

What is a Sagittarius?

[ Is it something useful? Some kind of warrior class?

If he wants allies, it would be good to know what he brings to the table himself. ]

[frostyfelon]

[Leonard is used to deadpan staring. He does it himself in many cases, coming off completely emotionless. Either way, her question made him sigh heavily. Another one.

It is, in fact, not something useful.]

Do they have sarcasm on your planet?

Sagittarius is an astrological symbol corresponding to certain times of the year for some reason. It's when you were born. I'm not really a Sagittarius. Gemini, actually. It's not important.

[fiercestwarrior]

Yes.

[ But she doesn't use it much. ]

If you truly seek allies, it seems unwise to only speak of things that you are not.

[ The useless driveling just to be a nuisance is making her think of Loki, actually. ]

[frostyfelon]

Sorry, can't help that I'm a smartass. It's part of my charm. [He doesn't actually believe he's charming.]

Fine, you wanna know what I can do? Everyone else seems to. [This probably isn't gonna help his Loki allusions any, unbeknownst to him.] I'm in possession of a weapon that freezes my enemies solid. I'm a damn good shot and I can brawl with the best of 'em.

[He's also cunning, a planner. Right now, he's just judging the strength of his allies. If he's gonna be stuck on this team, he's gonna know who he's working with.]
