You can try texting Vicious if you want.

Mm. I mean, vision orb's'll do that, but since that's for recordin' and broadcastin' crimes I doubt anyone uses 'em for this kinda thing.

[Which makes using it in a positive context strangely appealing. In addition to the more general appeal of someone wanting to record him and keep it around.]

[derailer]

If we were to broadcast it, then I think that in itself would be a crime...

[He switches to the video function, and starts recording.]

See? It's right here.

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious observes this for future reference.]

And it just keeps goin'? Then that makes it easy, don't it?

[derailer]

We still need to find some method of support so it has us at a good angle while still remaining upright.

[He points it towards the nightstand, imagining it there. Maybe if there were books it could lean against...]

[stirtheblood]

But once ya figure that out ahead o' time, we don't have to worry about it? 'Less we get real rowdy, I guess.

[He's not going to rule out the possibility of knocking over a phone on the nightstand, even from a distance away.]

[derailer]

Ha! Well, we can pick it up and start over again if we must. But I do not think it will be a problem.

I will set up a makeshift stand.

[stirtheblood]

Nice.

[a pleased grin]

You gonna be able to go again any time soon?

[derailer]

...Not immediately...

[But it's exciting enough that he wants to. He doesn't want to sit around taking a break. He turns off the recording for now, and slides over to the edge of the bed. The piercing book and the little carrying case of materials will be arranged into a phone stand.]

Why do you ask? Did you have a plan in mind?

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious rolls to watch him lazily.]

Nothin' specific. Just wonderin' how long I'm gonna have to wait.

[derailer]

Are you impatient?

[Maybe he can shorten his recovery time through sheer willpower. He is distracted from setting up the phone stand, looking back to catch a glimpse of Vicious's expression.]

[stirtheblood]

Have I ever been patient?

[Vicious's eyes are dark.]

It's an excitin' idea. Maybe we can try videoin' some other stuff to warm up?

[derailer]

I am excited, too. I am already impatient. So, I agree with you.

[He finishes pushing into place what he thinks will be an acceptable phone stand, and balances the phone on it to check. He leans back, sitting up on the bed to see if he's in the frame.]

[stirtheblood]

Heh. Good.

[Vicious sits up too, sliding his arm back around Ingo and leaning in to sink his teeth lightly into his shoulder. To help check the framing.]

[derailer]

Ahhh...

[Ingo does watch closely to see if they are both in the frame, which they seem to be.]

Good...

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious nips a few steps higher on Ingo's neck.]

Look alright?

[derailer]

Mmmmmmm. Yes, I think so. ...It is going to be a little embarrassing if I am looking directly at the camera, if I can see myself in it...

[stirtheblood]

Well, do ya wanna be a little embarrassed? Or should I try and make ya forget it's there, so it's all new when ya look at it later?

[derailer]

Ahhh... To be honest, I will be happy to have it available to me, but I will try to look at any video only a very minimal amount, if at all. So—it will be novel to me no matter what.

I will probably get over the embarrassment.

[stirtheblood]

Huh, that so...?

...Well, that's a yes at lookin' at the camera for now, then? Not that ya gotta the whole time, but it would be good to get yer face. Hmm... If we've got the video, can we still take pictures outta it?

[derailer]

Mmmm. For now I will look at the camera! I only know the basics of the camera in this device, though... I think it is technology available where I am originally from, but I do not remember it very well. So I am not sure if you will be able to turn the video into pictures. I know you can pause the video, at least, and that is sort of like making it a picture.

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious hums and considers the phone, then—]

—Well, if ya paused the video on somethin' good, I could use my phone to take a picture of it!

[He sounds very excited and proud of this idea.]

[derailer]

Oh, that does seem like it would work! I see no reason why that would be ineffective!

[stirtheblood]

And we can do that after, so that's easy too!

[They've solved it!!]

[derailer]

Bravo! I am glad you are engaging with the concept so enthusiastically.

[stirtheblood]

Well, it sounds like fun.

[Vicious looks at the phone screen as he runs a hand around Ingo and up over his chest.]
