[ 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. ]

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. ]

[ichoosefight]

I guess technically no. I don't remember how I ended up on a tropical beach, so who knows what else happened? I've never kidnapped anyone before, though, so I don't see why I'd start now.

[ She's joking, definitely. But she's not wrong. ]

[sharktrash]

[ Well.... that sounds like she's in the same situation as he is. Which could be a trap. But also, if she had kidnapped him, she'd know his name anyway, so; ]

Fair enough. I'm Squalo.

[ichoosefight]

I'd say it's nice to meet you, but I don't think anyone would call these circumstances 'nice'.

You shouldn't waste your energy, you know. It'll fade fast if we can't find food and water. How equipped are you to survive in the wild?

[sharktrash]

No kidding.

If we can't find food and water, it won't make a difference. [ Or so he thinks... but really, he's very accustomed to yelling and can do it for hours at a time, his energy usage for that is probably very efficient. ] I wasn't plannin' on a hike in the tropics, so not very.

[ichoosefight]

[ You need the energy to find the food and water-- nevermind. ]

I meant that more hypothetically, but I'll take it to mean you don't know much about this sort of thing?

[sharktrash]

What, growing crops and filtering my own piss? Not really, no.

[ He's largely a city boy, sorry. ]

[ichoosefight]

[ About finding-- ugh. nevermind. ]

Look for animal signs. Tracks, little paths through the brush, that sort of thing. They know where to find food and water, and they tend to go back to the same places.

[sharktrash]

[ so close, and yet so far ]

Oh. Sure. I assume they drink straight outta the river, though? The other guy I spoke to said it's best not to do that.

[ichoosefight]

Work on finding water first, then we can talk about filtering. Dehydration will kill you faster than dysentery.

[sharktrash]

So you're telling me to drink out of the river? 'Cause I already found one.

[ichoosefight]

[ Deep breaths, Steph. The poor guy is clueless, and you're tired and dehydrated. ]

What else have you found.

[sharktrash]

[ Aren't they all. ]

Not much else so far. 'M trying to follow it upstream.

[ichoosefight]

Well, priority 2 is food. Priority 3 is finding a way to boil water.

[sharktrash]

It's a jungle. There's gotta be like, plenty of fruits and shit in there, right?

[ Boiling water could prove to be trickier, though. ]

Well, if you find a pot, let me know.

[ichoosefight]

Fruit is good. It's a safer source of water.

We're all gonna have to get creative, but I'll let you know if I find anything useful.

[sharktrash]

Alright.

[ He's... kind of drawing a blank on what else they could use, though. ]

Got any creative ideas? I don't know what else to look out for.

[ichoosefight]

Something that won't burn. I'm looking for water too, you know?

[ She has no idea what there is to find on this (presumably) island. ]

[sharktrash]

Right. Well, I'll yell if I find anything.

[ Over the comms, he means... probably... ]

[ichoosefight]

I appreciate it.

[ She'll keep the volume low, though. ]
