[Oh look folks, it's Eridan, seated and with his expression exactly the same as the icon depicts.

He spends a few moments in silence, just staring really.]

You're paranoid, they said. Are you alwways this wwhiny?, they said. Stop makin' up problems that aren't really there, they said.

Wwell felloww...no, not felloww, but, let me say this much those a' you so assured nothin' wwas gonna happen or come about from these guys bein' untrustwworthy.

Knoww that I take no pleasure in sayin' this, bu--wwell, wwho am I kiddin', a' course I do.

[He clears his throat, pauses, and thennnnnnn...]

I told you so.

[That is all. Admittedly he hadn't really 'worked out' anything through sheer intuition or intelligence, he was just a paranoid jerk and luckily for him things worked out purely by coincidence.

So of course he's not going to miss the chance to pretend he knew all along.]

[He's still on video, but he says nothing. Instead Takegami will see Eridan messing around with the keyboard for a minute, before a link to this post comes up.

Then he sits back up straight and returns to staring at the camera.]

Read it an' wweep.

I did call this.

Did I sound as if I doubted you? [ The slight playfulness is gone. He was just teasing silly little troll. ]

Oh.

Wwell fuck I don't knoww, better safe than sorry or somethin'. I guess.

It sounded pretty condescendin' if you ask me.

[onemoredeath]

Perhaps I should work more on my tone of voice, yes?

[caligulas_aquarium]

Yeah. Wworkin' on it seems like the kind a' thing you ought to be doin'. Avvoidin' mishaps like that in the future.

...

So.

...howw'vve things been on your end?

[onemoredeath]

Slow, unfortunately. I am not one that enjoys being stuck in a city for too long of a time.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Yeah, I get that alright. Startin' to feel real uneasy wwith howw quiet its been around here.

Howw long ago wwas that first mission, evven, it feels like it wwas for-fuckin-evver ago. I can't stand it.

More should happen I would think.

I have no idea. All i know is that we are growing bored with the same dull routines.

I thought about bringin' the fight to them a few times but I'm not sure howw that'd go.

[UHH..]

Y'knoww cause...I mean, not evveryone here could handle themselvves if there wwas backlash of that. Is all. I'd be fine. Completely.

I wonder if they have a way to make us disappear if we did something of that nature. Of course, it may just be my paranoia talking.

[He almost thought about passing that off as not that big a deal, but then...he'd go back to being dead.

That'd suck.

So now he's paranoid.]

Right.

I mean...that might be wwhat happened to all the people that left.

Video;

[onemoredeath]

That is a possible theory, yes.

Video;

[caligulas_aquarium]

One of 'em wwas dead before they got here.

Do you think they just...wwent back to bein' dead?

[He's vague on purpose, since, well, he isn't talking about anyone in particular. Just can't say it outright.]

Video;

[onemoredeath]

That also probably will occur. I think that if we do get sent back, we will end up exactly from where we were taken.

Even if it is from death itself.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Right.

[...]

Thanks.

[Click. And he's gone.]
