[the video cuts to this face, which doesn't seem particularly pleased. he has a cockney accent when he speaks somewhat dryly.]

So, bit of a problem with all this- and by all this I mean this ah... mystery realm, let's call it. Earth? Earth. Not connected to the Astral Plane, is it! I think. Or I'm not, which-

[there's what's clearly a wolf whistle in the background, and camera turns enough to show he's at a cafe and some pair of people in the distance go 'hey there goth guy!' kravitz turns the camera back to himself with a :| face and ignores this]

Which is a wee bit of a problem. I have a theory, this is some sort of purgatory dimension and all that 'please get me out of here' wishing I was making was some monkey's paw bullshit- pardon my cockney.

[he sighs as those cat callers probably waggle their eyebrows.] If only this was a big goof.

IT WAS MY ARM!!! OF COURSE I'd still be needing it! Do I look like I'm done using my body!!

[ Congratulations, Kravitz, now Merle is rubbing his hands all over his body for the whole network to see. ]

I regret everything about this conversation already.

[he has made so many mistakes. so many.] Please just... stop that. Please. And at the time you were my bounties and were due for the Eternal Stockade, because fifty seven Merle. Fifty seven.

Fif-ty. Se-ven. Merle.

[ He stops, begrudgingly, but sticks his tongue out at Kravitz anyway. And he's a few more than fifty-seven now... Sixty-eight, to be precise. Thanks, Refuge! ]

Yeah, so I died a few times. Don't see you turning Taako's or Magnus' arms to stone!

I did try to crush them with a golem made of said arm, remember? I didn't have some arm agenda here, I wasn't specifically targeting body parts in some grim attempt at making the world's most involved 'stop hitting yourself' joke.

Also I didn't really think you'd go for it. Sort of threw you a softball there, chum.

Re: video;

As I recall, that golem was out for me most of all, though!

[ He's not responding to the softball comment. ]

Well... alright, maybe there was the smallest attempt at a complex 'stop hitting yourself' joke. Gallows humor and all. It's an office thing.

Anyway, what I mean is I am sorry your arm got chopped off and I hope we can just... you know, see it as water under the bridge.

Re: video;

[extremeteenbible]

Yeah, I guess. Since you ended up being a good guy an' all.

[ And since he's dating Taako or whatever. ]

Re: video;

[cutthegoofs]

Oh. [he's a little surprised at how easy that was. and being called a 'good guy' given what he remembers of their interactions. huh.]

[he clears his throat, recovering] That's kind of you Merle, thank you. Just try not to die anymore, yes?

Re: video;

[extremeteenbible]

[ He's still upset about the arm thing, but it's easier being chill than being mad all the time. One of the benefits of being from the future is perspective. ]

Yeah, it's not like it was fun any of the 68 times I did it, so...
