Deadlox walked up to the booth that Jerome and Husky had set up, munching on some of the Chipotle that he had leftover from earlier. He smiled at the two, and silently noticed that only Jerome smiled back, and even then the action was worried.
Alright, so the recruiting wasn't going as well as it could be going.
"How many new recruits?" He asked, keeping his tone cheerful, but he had a feeling that he already knew.
"None." Husky muttered gruffly, glaring at Deadlox slightly, as if he blamed him for their misfortune here in the city. But Deadlox only brushed it off, used to glares and blame being placed on him when he knew it wasn't even his fault. He knew that Husky didn't mean it, whether he would be sorry or not, Deadlox didn't care. He sat on the edge of the table, talking to them, trying to see what they were doing wrong.
But they weren't doing anything wrong, aside from the fact that they weren't going out and talking to people to try and get them to their side. He frowned as he mentioned that, but he only got a hopeless shrug from Jerome and an eye roll from Husky. He stared at them, before he looked down at one of the pamphlets that they had had printed months ago. He narrowed his eyes, then picked the stack up. He threw his wrapper from his Chipotle into the nearest wastebasket, standing from the edge of the table. "If you're not going to do it," He claimed, pushing himself up onto the table, standing in the middle instead. "Then I will!"
Husky quickly grabbed his water before he could cause it to fall, glaring at him as Jerome stared at him, opened mouthed. "What-?!"
But by then, Deadlox was already shouting.
"HEY! HAVEN'T YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT CAUSED THE ATTACK ON NEW MINE CITY?! DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT WHEN THEY CLAIM THAT IT WAS HUMAN TERRORISTS, WHEN PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE ATTACKERS SAY OTHERWISE?!"
Jerome and Husky stared with wide eyed shock. They had thought of bringing up New Mine City, sure, but they thought it would be too insensitive to what had happened. Deadlox didn't seem to care about that. Already, people were stopping in their tracks, looking over, beginning to slowly drift over, as if they were curious about what in the hell this male was talking about. A few even glared, but that didn't make Deadlox falter, not even for a second.
"COME ON!" He shouted instead. "I KNOW THE TRUTH! YOU DO TOO, YOU JUST REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!"
That caught people's attention.
"Well, who was it then?" Someone shouted rudely, mockingly, and Deadlox's kept his face straight and his head held up high as he answered.
"Squids."
A few seconds passed, before people began to laugh and jeer at them.
"What, some eight tentacled water breathing sea creatures attacked us?!"
"What a joke!"
"It's not a funny one! People died!"
"Yeah! Who do you think you are?!"
"Jerk!"
