[ So this face makes an appearance for once--or again. Whichever. The point is, it's on the network after a rather lengthy struggle over just how stupid this is going to sound publicly. ]

This is probably not going to mean much to a lot of you, [ Or any of you, if Colbert is nothing more than a delusional dick. ] but does the name "Reaper" mean anything to anyone?

....Reaper? Do you mean Death, sir?

[c24]

Well, not literally.

[ Shit, maybe he should have been more specific in his comm. ]

More like a codename, but yeah. You heard of the Grim Reaper? It's basically the same as Death.

[ But if it's not ringing bells already, he's pretty sure this guy doesn't know him. ]

Should it?

[puppydogeyes]

Yes.
It's yours.

text;

[c24]

No not really. I'd rather it not.

[c24]

[ Crap. ]

That didn't take long.

Who are you and how do you know my codename?

[ It's nothing accusatory, he simply wants to hear it from you rather than feed you just enough scraps to further a potential coincidence, or conspiracy?? Is he part of a conspiracy?? ]

[majestyofthethrone]

I know who you are. You're John.

[c24]

[ Ugh, you guys are killin' him. ]

And you are?

[ancientalien]

What do you know of the reapers?

text;

[c24]

Reapers plural? Can't speak for that.

The one I'm talking about is a codename.

[ancientalien]

I see. An unfortunate coincidence. Or simply poor taste.

The Reapers I know are most certainly plural, and their name does mean something to me.

You should be more specific.

Seraphim.

[makedo]

Didn't believe me?

[ he's not taking it personally, really. ]

[acapriciousthing]

People call me that.

[c24]

And I take it we've met before. How long ago?

1/2

[c24]

Hey, I'm just fact checking, man. Woke up on an alien fucking spaceship, strangers say they know me...

[ You gotta make sure this shit is what it is. Stiff upper lip, bro! ]

2/2

[c24]

Would it help if I said you were right?

[c24]

Yeah I'll totally work on that next time.

So what were you referring to? Some kind of hit squad?

[majestyofthethrone]

It's been two years.

Video

[c24]

Yeah?

[ His eyes do a quick once over before pulling back up. ]

Quite a name to carry.

[ John doesn't say it, but there's a possibly lingering subtext of "for a woman" which kind of sits on the air between them. Maybe. ]

[c24]

[ Okay, just--Give him a moment. He didn't think it'd been that long. ]

You sure about that?

[ Hell, he's trying to remember what he was even doing two years ago. It was before the stint in Northern Africa... ]

Did I happen to mention where I'd been before I got brought here?

[ancientalien]

No. The Reapers are a machine race, huge and ancient, who have wiped out intelligent organic life across the galaxy countless times. They have caused cycles of destruction and death. They slaughter without mercy and without compassion. They are an evil you could not comprehend. Although perhaps if you spent enough time aboard this ship you could learn.

[majestyofthethrone]

No. You didn't talk much about yourself to me.

[c24]

Oh. Okay.
Yeah shit that was going to be my second guess.

[ Obv. ]

Not sure I want to comprehend honestly. Still having trouble with the human variety, I don't need to add a new race to that list yet.

[ Beautiful! You go, past him! Except in this case when he could have used that information. ]

Sounds about right. What an asshole huh?

You remember how long I was here?
