Heeey scumbags!

[ As usual, the scratchy voice coming out of the comms is just too loud for comfort, and will probably prompt anyone listening to turn their volume down. As usual, he sounds a little too cheerful for their dire circumstances. ]

Anyone else getting shot at? Kidnapped? C'mon, I'm about to die from boredom here.

If this was really some kinda simulated Battle Royale you'd think the death matches would have started by now, right? 

But noooooo, it's just some fuckers sneakin' around and dronebombing the place.

Terrible vacation, really. Good fuckin' thing I didn't pay for it or I'd want my money back, yeah?

[ ... ]

Hey.

If you're still listening, congratulations, you might not be a fun-hating twat, so you get to hear my actual message.

Found another airplane, or part of airplane, in the mountain range. This really huge-ass fuselage, got "PacAir" printed on the side.

There might be some luggage in the compartments or salvageable electronics behind the boards, but the whole thing hanging in this really fucked up way and nothing on the inside looks sturdy enough to climb. Maybe if anyone's got some rope, someone could descend from above and check it out that way. Maybe enough people would be able to flip it, but I dunno if it's worth that kinda effort.

And there's also -- check this out -- a volcano. Doesn't look like it's been active for a while, there's a mineral water lake in the middle now, but it's weirdly warm. Don't know shit about that so I can't tell you if it could be heated from the sun or if it's coming from below, but hey, that's something to consider. 'Nd animals have been making their way here, so it's not poisonous. Probably. Smells kinda like sulfur though.

Volcanoes are usually in the middle of islands, right? Might not be the case here, but I'd say it's... in the southern part of the mountains? Can't be sure without a map, but there's more further north.

Guess that's it for now. Ya eggheads might be able to make something from this, right?

Oh but I wasn't fucking kiddin' about this place being boring, so if you've got any fun stories ya wanna share, I'm all ears. Only so much jungle noises one can take instead of a normal conversation, yeah? I'm a people person, you know. Honest.

Anyway! Headed toward some sus shit next, wish me luck.

Yes! Fuck, man. I mentioned 'er. I said I had two step-kids. Weren't you listening? Maybe we should scavenge you some new ears, eh?

[ Lalo doesn't know how to process any of this. He knows, back home, he could silence any of them with a look. No one would dare say any of this to him - ever -

What Squalo says makes Lalo turn bright red. He's about to be calmed down by Squalo's reassurances and use of a slur (Lalo doesn't speak Italian, but he can figure out what Squalo was saying from context). And then it happens.

Despite what he told Martin, part of him fills tainted even by the idea of "exceptions", even by the idea of "one time", even by - ]


I don't "make exceptions", shit-for-brains. Got that? [ So much for calm. ]

[ Okay, it does cheer Lalo up somewhat to be reminded of what a good actor he was that day! He laughs, in response to the comment about the search party.

He's quiet for a few minutes. Kokichi, Jet, Martin — whoever happens to be watching, there's no shortage of people to enjoy his comeuppance.

Finally he speaks. ]


Thanks.

[Martin is disappointed in you, as well, Squalo. But he's more willing to let the slur slide when the other man seems to be mocking Ben more than anything.]
