R26 - Here comes the sun [Video]

[with_my_teacup]

[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.

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?

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

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

Spam

[mistconduct]

Can I come see your 'verse sometime?

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

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

Spam

[mistconduct]

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.

Spam

[mistconduct]

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

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

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

Spam

[mistconduct]

That's fucked up.

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

Spam

[with_my_teacup]

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.

Spam

[mistconduct]

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.

Spam

[mistconduct]

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

[with_my_teacup]

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

Spam

[mistconduct]

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

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

... You'd know. When we get back aboard, I'll show you.

Spam

[mistconduct]

Sweet. I want death cult armor too.

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

You can have it. Might be a little big.

Spam

[mistconduct]

What, you don't want yours? Why not?

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

...depressing story. You don't wanna hear it here.

Spam

[mistconduct]

Yeah, not especially.

Doesn't armor need to fit a certain way? You're a head taller than me.

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

Helmet might fit. Mega could probably fix up the breastplate.

Spam

[mistconduct]

...Heheh.

...I ain't sure if you really recovered from that de-aging flood, sometimes.
