[ The video shows Ash's face from a rather distinctive selfie sort of angle. Briefly, he brings up one hand to wiggle his fingers at his audience. When he speaks, his accent is distinctly French, ] Good evening, all you people desperately in need of serious therapy. I'm new here, and starting to come up with some personal theories about my situation. Did I die? Is that it?

Since I'm in random alternate dimension America, it must be that I've died or my promoter betrayed me terribly since there's so many gauche, noisy examples of humanity around. I'm in my own personal Hell, and it's unfair because I really didn't deserve this.

Heh, maybe. There's nothing to be done at this late date. 'Burn it all down' doesn't seem like much of a solution. We're the good guys here. [ Laughing like he thinks he's funny, he idly toys with his hair. ]

Down to business. Entertainment. I'm in the market for it. Off the books would be interesting, but nothing illegal. Favorite bars, best restaurants, no holds barred underground fight clubs... whatever. I just don't want to be bored. No one wants me bored.

You aren't dead.

[believe him, he had to figure that out on his own and it was not a pretty picture to paint. this isn't any heaven or hell. zombies get to hang with the living here. that's all.

that said-- this guy sounds annoying, but.]

Are you looking for a casino?

[ He shrugs, not terribly attached to the dead theory. ]

Sure, why not? As long as it isn't trashy. [ A pause. ] Unless it's trashy-chic, then I'll give it a shot anyway.

I don't know what it's like, myself, but I've been meaning to go and play.

[he means cheat. he wants to go and wear mirrors on his shoes and stuff cards into his hair and be an ass.]

[deadtective]

[lol, being dead. Hazel's done that shit and this sure as hell isn't anything like that.]

I don't know, you seem like exactly the kind of guy I'd like to see bored.

[capriciousrevolt]

(|||❛︵❛.) Your callousness wounds me. I may never recover.

[unconchonable]

You ain't dead, 'cos I ain't dead, and neither is a lot a people who should be.

[Eridan actually kinda likes the attitude this guy gives off. Something he can kinda relate to, in a way.]

I can tell you here an' now you won't be giwen much in terms of entertainment. This shit-hole of a rock is the least entertainin' thing I'we had the displeasure of endurin'.

[pause].

--WELL, more accurately second, but whatewer. Details.

voice;

[capriciousrevolt]

Oh, great. [ Do you hear that enthusiasm? So much. Yes. Very. ]

Uninspiring cattle as far as the eye can see, is it? Ugh, I don't want to imagine less entertainment than here and now.

Maurtia Falls may be kind to you then, if you're looking for something to do. [The video shows the ceiling of- a bathroom? Kinda steamy, looks like you can see an elbow move past here and there as if the communicator is near a mirror.]

Though the best things to do are only better with the right company, I suggest you find it. Being bored is absolutely dreadful.

[capriciousrevolt]

You speak my language, my friend. The right crowd with similar inclinations would be just what I need.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

Is it because you dread boredom, or you indulge in dreadful things when bored?

[capriciousrevolt]

If we're lucky, it'll stay a mystery. I don't take kindly to the prospect.

Voice;

[restingstitchface]

This is hell? I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

Regardless. Life's throwing something to catch your attention. You'd best heed it's warning.

[capriciousrevolt]

Whatever the tortures of Hell, huh? Very philosophical of you, friend, and maybe there's a point there. Still, I'm not the one that needs a warning.

[heavyhitter]

u cant just leave us hanging on a line like that. what happens when ur bored???

[capriciousrevolt]

You are all so curious. Can't you appreciate not having it all laid out for you? It makes the story more interesting. (=｀ω´=)

video.

[darkspider]

Why the hell would the afterlife be anything like this?

You'd just be dead.

[capriciousrevolt]

But why would it not be? I have never been to Hell, not yet, so I can only guess.

Have you?

[grinninggrifter]

And what, pray tell, would happen if you were to become bored?

[capriciousrevolt]

It is a mystery! Consider it a surprise.

[ Briefly, there's a flicker of odd green light, its source just off screen. ]

It's strange, but my companions in my own dimension always seemed so displeased by my surprises.

[ Video ]

[halfcow]

No therapy is gonna help.

But burnin' sounds like it'd be a pretty neat solution, tho. Or entertainment.

[capriciousrevolt]

They're lost causes, no? What a scary person you must be to say those things.

[abduxel]

This isn't death, trust me. It isn't Hell, either.

That said, I haven't found a single fun thing to here, so maybe Hell would be preferable.

[capriciousrevolt]

That's a sharp point you make. I was wrong, for Hell would have more to do.

voice & encrypted! but under his real name.

[systemize]

[Off the books but not illegal. Hmm. Cadel waves off the rest as typical grandstanding.]

Somehow I don't think anything I could suggest would match your idea of entertaining. [Yeah, he's stumped.]

sneaky, sneaky

[capriciousrevolt]

Haha, too bad, but chatting will do for now. [ His tone is as pleased as ever. Cadel didn't ask silly questions, at least, even if he wasn't helpful. ]

Hello, hello, Cadel. Has any trouble found you yet?
