[Eddie paces as he talks. There's a cast on his arm with the word loser written in black, with a red V written over the s to spell lover.]
Hello? Can you hear me? We're all kidnapping victims here; you guys know that right?
This nanite stuff sucks. There are tiny germ sized robots crawling around inside us! Something's gotta be powering them. They could be hanging out in our stomachs eating our food. Or they could be eating us and making tiny little holes inside our bodies. They could all build up in one place and block off the blood flowing through our arteries and our veins. Or build up in our organs, our lungs and our brains! And, our bodies are mostly water. They could be rusting inside us.
[He stops pacing and starts scratching his face with his cast-free hand]
I think I'm allergic to them! Everything's itchy. I'm gonna break out into hives!
[He starts wheezing and rubs his chest.]
I could be allergic to the tattoo too. I'm just a kid. I shouldn't have one. I think it's starting to swell up. I could have an infection. Or a blood disease. I don't trust these government people to be clean.
[The wheezing continues and his voice becomes strained with each word. He takes his inhaler out of a fanny pack and uses it, only speaking again when he's breathing is back to normal.]
How are we supposed to deal with this shit?

But I have fought monsters.
That is how I know that it is admirable for you to have done the same.
no subject
Are they here?
no subject
Even gods.
But they are not here.
Not presently.
Though it is always possible that the Porter will change that.
no subject
The porter needs to get fixed. It's like it fucks everything up.
no subject
The Porter cannot be fixed.
You and your friends must learn to adapt.
no subject
People gotta learn how to fix it.
My friends are good at adapting.
no subject
More than you or I am aware of, almost certainly.
I imagine if you were able to kill a monster, you must be good at adapting.
That bodes well for your time here.
