[Feed clicks on to a probably somewhat familiar gray-skinned, yellow-horned seatroll with a purple streak through his hair. He looks equal parts extremely irritated and frantic, mouth tight but eyes wide. When he speaks, his voice is level, but it's clear he's distressed.]

And here I'd thought the fun part of this was over with the grand larceny. This is Haruto Souma, even though I look like this. I'm looking for my body--brown hair, tall, extremely good looking. Belt buckle that looks like a hand, lots of rings. Whoever's in there, I need to talk to you. Considering where I've ended up, it's probably Eridan Ampora in there, but just in case it's not...

Please get into contact with me. For your own safety.

... Hey, could you do me a favor while you're in that body?

Depends. What?

You know that wand you have in your griefing sylladex? Unequip it.

If I can figure out how to do that, sure. Haven't been attacked in the city yet.

...why, though?

Because it's dangerous, and you shouldn't be using it if you don't understand how powerful it is.

... Eridan shouldn't even be using it. Maybe you should just, I don't know, snap it in half or something.

I use magic in my own body, you know. It can't be that hard to figure out.

I'm not going to break it. It's not mine to break.

You misfire that thing, and you'll find a crater-sized hole in the wall.

And I know. I'm against this sort of thing, but this is different. He shouldn't have it, at least not something that powerful.

Do you really think I'm stupid enough to fire a weapon I've never used inside, near people? Because I might be wearing your roommate's face, but I know better.

Still not your call. Not mine, either. He hasn't been violent to other Transports since I got here, that I've heard of. What are you worried about?

You're also a guy I don't really know, with a really powerful weapon. Excuse me for being cautious.

Well, he hasn't killed anyone, but that's not due to lack of trying. Violence though, he has. Have you seen 206's food preparation block?

I could say the same about you, you know.

...no. I haven't been in there. Either way--he tries to kill someone, there's plenty of people here to stop him. Me included.

You don't know that I have a powerful weapon.

It's going to happen, anyway. Sometimes you can't stop it.

I know that I don't know you.

Yes, because ominous warnings is exactly what's helpful here. I'm not going to break his wand. If there's something else I can do, I can try.

Ominous warnings are what I'm best at.

No, that's it.

Well, we all have to have our strengths, I guess.

Oh, nice, real nice!

Actin' the good guy in tellin' folks not to fuck with the bodies they're in then askin' this guy to break my wand while he's in there?

Aren't you just a hypocritical piece of shit, Captor.

I could have asked him to shave your head, like I was first going to, but I figured the wand thing was less intrusive.

I can't help it. It makes me nervous.

[Wow that was some... surprising honesty. He's not even sure where that came from.]

What's to say the initiative wouldn't fix it or somethin'?

Better off just stayin' nervous for the rest a' your life.

They could.

And this is why you shouldn't be allowed to have weapons.

Weapons you can't handle, more like.

I bet you'd no issues with it if I had the Crosshairs instead.

Yeah, pretty much.

Well tough luck.

Minute I got armed proper, the status quo got re-established like it oughta be. Deal with it.

You mean the status quo of you being an asshat and everyone platonically hating you.

No, the status quo a' me bein' your superior.

Is it really that hard to get or what? We been doin' this song an' dance for more than a year now, it's gotta drill into that pan a' yours sooner or later.

The only thing you're superior at is how many bulges you can shove in your mouth.

Even if that were true, which it ain't, it beats bein' the best at dyin' all the time.
