[ 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. ]

Thanks! Is there anything specific you want me to keep an eye out for? A-apart from the martinis, of course!

[He's... trying to be funny? A little bit, at least.]

Oh! And I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Martin.

[sharktrash]

Ha! [ Attempt acknowledged. ] A sword would be nice. Or something to store water in.

[ He thinks for a few moments. If he's indeed been kidnapped by the enemy, they already know who he is anyway, and if he hasn't... there might be some cause for cooperation. ]

[ Finally, he offers a name back. ]

Squalo. Nice to meet you.

[ The pleasantry's not entirely genuine, but he figures he might as well play along and be friendly at the moment. ]

[lonelynotforsaken]

[Squalo. It's a unique enough name, he thinks he'll be able to remember that easily. Squalo the Italian who likes swords. Martin settles that into his head.]

Just... wish it were better circumstances. Yeah.

Okay. Well, a sword's more likely to work than a gun, so that should, hopefully be easier to find. Just hope for some actual shipwrecked pirates. And I can definitely keep an eye out for things we can use to store water. I think there are coconuts in some of the trees. If I can't find anything in the next few hours, I'll try to get one of those down. Should have some water in it already, and we can use them like... weird canteens until we find something better.

[sharktrash]

[ Sounds about right. Unfortunately Martin is just Martin the nice nerd so far. ]

No kidding.

[ He snorts at the mention of pirates. ]

Hope it doesn't have a pirate attached, then. Good thinking on the coconuts, though. I'll see if I can find some. Not sure about drinking straight from a river...

[ Hello, tropical parasites? ]

[lonelynotforsaken]

Probably not the best idea, no. I'll keep an eye out for something like a pot or a really big and sturdy shell, too. If we can get something to boil water in, that'll make everything a little safer.

[sharktrash]

Bet it would. Keep in touch?

[ It's going to be increasingly difficult to resist drinking the muddy river water the longer he spends in the sun, he's sure. Better head for the trees. ]

[lonelynotforsaken]

Will do! Good luck, Squalo.

[sharktrash]

You too, nerd.

[ C...lose enough? He probably means it fondly though. ]
