[voice] eridan's guide to being a responsible thirteen-year-old member of security

[Eridan has managed to tone down his usual "Look I Am Being Very Serious And You Need To Listen To Me" pompousness; instead of sounding like a whiny kid, he actually manages to sound kind of level headed and generally not too fucking crazy.]

Givven that wwe all knoww wwhat happened to, uh, Hotspur... [He'd seen the guy around, he's pretty sure he might've talked to him, but more importantly, that final transmission was more mentally scarring than he'd like to let on, so he tries to be a little casual and calm about that.] I think wwe might wwant to look into startin' some neww fuckin' regulations around here.

For those'a you wwho don't knoww, Hotspur wwas one'a the guys wwho came here in the first jump that actually started fuckin' bringin' us all in. An' wwhat happened to him - the screamin', an' the dyin' an' all that - is wwhat happens wwhen you aren't in your gravv couch wwhen the jump hits. You die. You die really fuckin' horribly.

I'm definitely sure wwe're gonna figure out wwho fucked him ovver an' wwe are gonna deal wwith them, [and there's a definite threat,] but until wwe do, wwe gotta consider some neww precautions an' suchlike.

For one, I propose that wwe start filin' ourselvves in for the jump a lot earlier. Say, you gotta be there about an hour before wwe're due, yeah? So that wway, if someone is... lost, or fuckin' stuck, or somethin', wwe'll havve time to go find them. Because... I don't wwanna hear that shit evver again.

[He heaves a sigh that doesn't sound that shaky, thank god.] I knoww like, half'a you are probably goin' "wwhat the fuck is Eridan tryin' to do, bein' all official an' shit," but I'm part'a security, okay? This is like, all I got to offer right noww. The firm, strongly fuckin' wworded suggestion that wwe try not to let ourselvves get caught somewwhere wwhere wwe can't... savve ourselvves. Or be savved.

That's all I got, I guess. Anyone else got any bright ideas?

[ Well, that's not ironic at all. Ok, Dirk can play. ]

I guess Strider's a common enough name.
I'd already known that I'm not the only Strider aboard. Just didn't think I'd be adding another to the count so soon.
How about Di-Stri? Should be a clear enough distinction between us.

There are others? [ A pause. The way that this man says his name, it sounds like- ]

The ship has brought your family here?

[ Shhhhhhhhhh, no, dude with interestingly medieval turns of phrases. Don't mention this guy's family. You're playing right into his hands. ]
syllogism: (That's not really a thing that I do.)

[personal profile] syllogism 2012-06-09 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, yeah.
I guess you could call them that.
