[--THUD]

[... after what sounds like the crashlanding of the century, there are a few loud bumps agains the mic; what sounds uncannily like a confused chicken; and finally everything unmuffles as whatever was on the communicator moves off]

O-Ow! What the hell was I-- Hey, what is this? This isn't the cellphone! Where's my freakin'--

[rattle rattle rattle smack]

[BANG BANG BANG BANG]

COUGH IT UP, YOU PIECE OF JUNK! I ACTUALLY NEED THAT THING SOMETIMES!

[...]

All right. Have it your way.

[an intake of breath]

HEY, UGLY! YOU DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE, NO-GOOD, BANANAS-FOR-BRAINS OLD HAG!!

[pant pant]

I BET THIS IS YOU AGAIN, ISN'T IT?! THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!? I DON'T EVEN-- [a pause] ... THIS ISN'T THE DEMON WORLD!

[another pause] So... it's the human world, right? With their dumb sun and everything. But I was just there -- hey, ugly, you better explain! I don't know that many places in the human world, you know!

[...]

... Ugly? [BANG] Hey, is this thing even working? HEY--

[click!]

[have an extreme closeup of one red eye peering suspiciously in general direction of the camera]

[a long moment later, the image tilts wildly as he lets it fall carelessly to the ground]

Useless thing! What am I supposed to--

[ :| forever. ]

Oh? And how is it that you were able to know that this would be the case?

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[what goes around comes around, baby]

I know plenty of bastards who just like to talk big.

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ man when he gets his chip out he will........be able to heal. and basically that's about it. ]

Even though I can provide no proof in that way, what you seem believe is not the case. If one sets aside the barriers that the scientists have placed in our way, there are still vast differences between myself and other human raw materials.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[lmfao regenerating opponents are a pain in the ASS also this guy can't use healing spells at all]

... Scientists? Raw materials?

What are you talking about now?

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ yeah, that would be kind of annoying to deal with. ]

Ah, it seems that I've confused you, my apologies.

If no one has informed you of this yet, you have been brought here by a group of "scientists," though their reasons for doing so are unknown. They also have a way to insure that those with power...beyond that of the "average" human are unable to use such power. Which is why, as I told you, providing any kind of proof is currently unlikely.

These "raw materials," however...are simply those normally referred to as "humans."

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

Hmph. So what that guy kept saying about sci-fi was true?

[well, mostly]

My... powers are--

[offscreen, there's a brief rustling, and then the distinct hiss and chink of sliding metal accompanied by an odd crackling]

[...]

'Tch, bet you don't have proof for what you're talking about, either. And raw materials this, raw materials that -- what for?

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ yeah, he figured that was going to happen. ]

It seems to be the case for the time being, but soon, I will have proof.

I use that term because it is, simply, all they are. They are useful as research subjects, but are not worth considering "human."

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[his powers are sealed ANYWAY, it's a little harder for him to figure these out OK]

Yeah? What makes you so sure?

--You don't sound much different from a scientist yourself.

[EVERYONE IS SUSPICIOUS. EVERYONE.]

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ aww. ): ]

There is a proven method of regaining one's powers.

And that is true, though I am not one of those responsible for your being here.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[don't worry, he has a magic stick, which you may have heard a minute ago]

[slowly] ... All of them? How'd they get lost in the first place?

Hmph. Right. [still suspicious :|]

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ all of discedo will cower in fear of the magic stick? ]

Yes, those that are considered to be...inhuman. There seems to be a small "chip" inside of everyone, which is the cause of this.

Honestly. The fact that I, too, am affected by this should be enough to show you that.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[yeah, you better! the magic stick is crackly and pointy]

So, basically everything. You're telling me this is some kind of computer thing? [well, he sort of knows about those]

Hah! You never know.

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ ooh, pointy. ]

I haven't had the chance to study these chips yet, unfortunately.

However, it would be foolish to limit myself, when there are plenty of other available specimens here.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[... no ogling my stick, gtfo]

'Tch, so you don't know anything?

You still haven't proved it either way -- just run your mouth on and on.

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ nooo, pointy stick!! ]

I did provide you with some information, did I not?

And how do you suggest that I "prove" anything?

[ just wait until he gets his powers back, then he can use his canon method of proving that he's immortal...by cutting his throat. ]

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[MY pointy stick :|]

Nothing useful, like how to fix it!

How 'bout proving that you can't use your powers no matter what?

[a.k.a. fight meeeeee everything is solved by punching each other -- though the other way sounds exciting, maybe later]

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ i just wanted to stare at it... ): ]

Is that all? You must have it removed-- though it is a dangerous process, I have heard.

That sounds like a rather foolish idea.

[ lmaooooo huey is definitely not a fighter. good luck with that. ]

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[YOU CAN SEE IT UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WHEN IT HITS YOU]

Doesn't matter, I don't need anymore stupid things messing with my magic.

Only if you haven't got the confidence for it.

[hahaha it's OK man Nora just challenges anything that moves]

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ my dream! (almost typed "my dream wedding" whyyyy :|) ]

In that case, I'm sure someone can assist you.

[ maybe you can be his chip removal guinea pig! ]

I simply have no time for such things.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[because you know damn well you like my disco stick]

Who's someone?

[dream on, stick bride]

Yeah, yeah.

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ let's have some fun, this beat is sick? ]

I'm sure there are quite a few who would be willing to help.

[ s-so mean. ]

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[wanna take a ride on my disco stick]

Maybe, but I'm not gonna trust just anybody who says they can.

[says the psycho immortal]

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ let's play a lovegame, play a lovegame. ]

Would you rather attempt to remove it yourself?

[ he's not psycho, just...........something close. ]

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[do you want love or do you want fame, are you in the game (no you're not :|)]

... That what you're doing?

[close enough]

[video]

[evaluative.livejournal.com]

[ i can be in the game. ;A; ]

I might.
