[ SH442K | VOICE | 001 ]

Heeey! Anybody on this thing?! Hello?

[ There's a faint, static-y background noise; whoever is talking must be walking by the seashore, although his painfully loud voice drowns it out no problem. ]

Whose moronic idea of a joke is this, huh? You think you can just fuckin' kidnap me and-- what's the plan here, exactly? You gonna bore me to death with the shittiest cruise on il Mediterraneo?! At least have a goddamn drink stand, for fuck's sake -- who's in charge here? I wanna speak to your idiot manager, asshole, rapidamente, yeah I'm talking to you, the hell are you still playing this game for?! Just you fuckin' wait, I'm gonna find you and-- Oi, is this thing on? Hey! Hey--

[ The yelling will probably continue until someone deigns to respond. ]

[It doesn't take too long for someone to respond. Unfortunately...]

Bolognese!

[sharktrash]

[ motherf-- ]

Are you fucking mocking me?!

[trialbyliar]

I'm just talking your language! Jeez, you're ungrateful.

[A snicker cutting through the static suggests that yes, he is indeed mocking you.]

[sharktrash]

The fuck you are. Do you usually just shout random dishes at people to communicate?! No wonder this place is so shit.

[ Does he... does he think he's talking to the manager? ]

[trialbyliar]

[ ultimate supreme manager ]

Well, duh! How else am I supposed to tell my minions what kind of meal they should fetch me?

[cactusy]

Shut up and calm down. Are you alone?

[sharktrash]

[ There's actual silence for maybe two seconds as Squalo is appalled by the sheer audacity of this person. ]

I'm calm!!! [ Yeah... right... ] No shit I'm alone, you think some ancient walkie-talkie is my first choice for a conversation?!

[ "Conversation". Uh huh. ]

[cactusy]

[Clearly said through gritted teeth:]

Are you injured in any way.

[sharktrash]

[ There's another pause, but this time he does sound a little calmer. Still rattling away a hundred words per minute, though. ]

No, not that I noticed. Could've been drugged, though. Shit, I can't believe-- wait. [ He actually stops in his tracks as the realization dawns on him. ] I was... I'm supposed to be injured. But I'm not. The fuck? Is this your doing?

[cactusy]

No. What do you mean, you're supposed to be injured?

[lonelynotforsaken]

Um... this place doesn't exactly scream 'resort.' I don't... work here, but I can try to help. What's the last thing you remember?

[If this is someone from his world, they really ought to be more traumatized. Unless they were one of the ones enjoying the apocalypse.]

[sharktrash]

Exactly! It doesn't! Not even close!! So why would anyone dump-- [ Oh right. He said something else. ] Last thing? You mean, before waking up here? I was-- in a fight. [ Pause. ] Thought I was dead, actually, but that would be preferable to this bullshit.

[lonelynotforsaken]

[He's struggling to guess here, but he doesn't want to ask outright.]

I mean... it probably is better to be alive. Because then you can... you know? Change things? What can you see where you are? I'm on a beach next to this really sharp drop-off. I can see where the water changes color.

[sharktrash]

I guess.

[ He sounds like he has some doubts about it. It does sound like the person on the other end isn't behind this whole thing, though, so his voice is just a little calmer when he speaks again... still too damn loud, though. ]

Uh, it kinda just looks like Maldives before tourists trashed it? Sand, water, all clean, buncha fish in it. Oh, and a river, I'm heading to it now. Might be clean water.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Oh! Oh, a river's great! Even if there isn't anyone around where you are, you'll probably find people if you follow the river.

[That's... how it works in movies, he's pretty sure.]

I am glad you're not, you know... dying. I'm not sure any of us would know how to get to you to help. I'm just sort of... on the beach. I don't see any vehicles or hear the sound of traffic or anything. I'm going to start walking.

[metalicarus]

Well, sure hope there wasn’t any need for stealth or secrecy here. Trust me kid, most kidnappers don’t respond with requests to see the manager.

[sharktrash]

Fuck that. Maybe I want 'em to find me, thought about that?!

[ He... doesn't technically have his weapon. But nevermind that!! He can take them! ]

Most kidnappers don't drop you off on a tropical fuckin' island with a radio. Its probably some kinda sick game, y'know, like reality TV but you can actually die?

[metalicarus]

No, because I was hoping you had sense. Prove me wrong, then and keep yelling and looking for trouble you might not be prepared for.

[sharktrash]

Oh, and "sense" is thinkin' about shit the way you do, huh? Why don't you prove me wrong, then I'll be nice and quiet while you run around playing secret agent.

[ spoilers: he won't ]

[ NOT HERE ]

[salamanca]

[ You might here a light crackle as somebody eavesdrops on all of your conversations. ]

[sharktrash]

[ Wow rude. Go ahead, though! He has nothing to hide!! ]

[ichoosefight]

Well, I found the volume button. Not your kidnapper or anyone's manager, but you realize you don't have to scream into this thing, right?

[sharktrash]

Hey, I'm just talkin'! If I was screaming, trust me, you'd know.

[ Would she, though... ]

[ Pause. ]

Who the hell are you, then?

[ichoosefight]

Maybe try a whisper, then.

[ Well, at least this takes some of the edge off of suddenly finding herself soaking wet on an uninhabited(?) island. ]

I'm Steph. Who're you?

[sharktrash]

Don't tell me what to do.

[ Meaning: hell no. His voice is beautiful and shall be heard! ]

You're sure you're not my kidnapper?

[ He's joking. Maybe. ]
