R26 - Here comes the sun [Video]

[The feed shows Riddick, tired but smirking just barely visibly. He's in the darkness of his room, a big wall of shadow with still squinting silver eyes. The only thing in focus is the pair of rubber-strapped welding goggles dangling close to the screen.]

I like'm and all, but they aren't real... casual. Anyone got some 21st-century style sunglasses I could borrow for a few days?

[Private to Selina]
I don't know how much you like water, but I could do with some solar heat and a little hydrotherapy-- I'm looking to hit the beach and then shop like I'm civilized and rich. You down for that?

Anything you wanna hit while we're back in all the brightness? It ain't Gotham, but somehow I see you fitting in fine anyway. I'll be a little slow, but I'm with you.

Maybe you might not want to do that anymore, if you want to still sit around and enjoy ports.

[He digs into his own, licking the top]

How's wardening?

It's a lot like inmating, only I don't get to kill people just because they piss me off. But there's always trade offs.

How's inmating? Dent hasn't given you any more shit, has he?

You can still kill people. They just have to give you a good reason first.

You mean since he fucking destroyed Cassel?

No, he's been quiet. Every time I think I'm going to go find him and kick his ass, the idea just makes me feel tired.

Yeah, and it has to be a real good reason, nothing that I should be solving by taking them to zero or whatever.

[He slowly works his ice down, lick by lick by annoyed bite. ]

I understand how you feel. It's such tiring bullshit, ain't it-?

For real.

No, it's a weird new feeling for me. Normally I'm all about the vengeance. What the fuck's happening to me where I just...don't want to go after him? Even when he hurts the people I love?

Maybe it's a thyroid thing.

It's probably because you know it wouldn't do any good. Part of you considers consequences, log term effects. ...usually kind of a small part, but.

[Teasing.]

Somewhere in your unconscious you can see the cycle of his violence, your violence, his, yours, no way to end it, no death, no room to run. And that part of you is tired.

Or it could be a thyroid thing.

I think I'm going to go with the explanation that points out that all my bullshit is just not good enough anymore.

It's a hard time of life. We all go through it.

[A more rueful expression. Yeah, he's been there.]

What'd you do when it happened to you?

I was a gigantic pissy asshole. Then I hid for a while and got depressed.

Don't do that. Didn't help.

So is this, like, pre-inmate Riddick or post-inmate Riddick who's the pissy asshole?

Little of both. I had that little hiatus where I went back to my 'verse.

Can I come see your 'verse sometime?

...it's kind of a shithole. Why would you wanna?

Because it's fucking awesome. I want to know where people come from. My world's just regular boring.

...let me deal with the death cult first. Then you can come visit.

What the shit, death cult? What, do they just kill off all their new members? How do they get anyone new to join?

Brainwash, not kill. They just kill everyone they don't brainwash.

That's fucked up.

So, what? You're going to kill them?

They're the assholes who left me in a dumpster as a baby. Well, one of'm was.

I don't know what I'm gonna do with all of them. Lot of them. One of me.

What the shit, man? I mean. You can't blame all of them for that, but that's still fucked.

Yeah, you're right. You'll probably get your ass murdered.

[cough yeah right cough]

Since I killed their leader I'm the new guy in charge. ...that said, not so in charge they're gonna take 'go fuck yourself' for an order.

Dude. You never told me you were a cult leader!

Did you not see the shitty armor I took off the last Lord Marshall? I gotta show you that.

No, but how am I supposed to know what cult leader armor looks like, anyway?
