diario 001 - UN: REAPER | VIDEO

[hellshot]

I've only been here a short time and I'm already getting one hell of an idea to what kind of people are showing up here.
And from what I've seen, it's pathetic. [He's not going to pull any punches here, what with a rasping, echoing voice from under an almost owl-like mask that's... probably supposed to be a skull. A sort of black fog hangs around him when he speaks, even more so when he scoffs or laughs.]

Ordinary people are going to get killed here. That means you, so I hope you've got a good idea of how to keep your skin unscarred, because I'm not someone who's going to put myself in danger to rescue someone who doesn't even know what end of a gun spits bullets.

If you're a civilian in your home world, consider taking up housekeeping on the ships while the people who know what they're doing go to deal with the aliens and dangerous flora on missions.

And for those who do know what you're doing... don't go playing hero. Don't be stupid, just for the lives of those who aren't smart enough to protect themselves.

Maybe you're pathetic.

[Nyeh! Goku sticks his tongue out at the camera.]

[hellshot]

...Says the cheeky kid making faces over a video post.

[rockthemonkey]

Says the old guy in a weird mask callin' a bunch of strangers pathetic.

[But, hm, actually thinking about what this guy is saying:]

You're worried about them?

[doxing]

You've got something on your shoulder, jefe.

[hellshot]

Buzz off. You know I'm right, and don't try to play up any sort of excuse that says I'm not.

[doxing]

I know you're right, I never denied it. A third of the people here live civilian lives.

(a quick glance to the side, before her shoulders ease up and she continues resting with a collection of holo-screens and maps.)

I totally sent a couple of them to the black market. Think they'll make it?

[juniberries]

[oooooh she can tell she's not going to like this guy.

by look and what he's saying. so there's an edge to her voice when she speaks.]

There is potential to be found in everyone. You just need to give others a chance before completely writing them of.

[hellshot]

[Not that he'd give any damn about the opinion of alien space princesses, it's the tone of her voice that definitely gives him a hint that this is someone who he's definitely not going to get along with. Ah, well. Can't win them all with charm and good looks.]

I'd rather not give them a chance to screw me or anyone else over first, miss. Just as there's Potential to find in everyone, there's also people born without potential. Putting faith in everyone is just handicapping yourself.

voice;

[juniberries]

[what charm and good looks]

And outright dismissing those who can be allies is also a handicap. We need to find balance, and as far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with housekeeping and upkeep of the ship either.

We may not have been brought here by choice, but those you deem as ordinary are not pathetic. Their skills lie elsewhere.

[sorry not sorry you're getting the Princess Speech of a children's cartoon tone of voice, Reaper.]

Oh good, the angry goths are here.

[hellshot]

Oh good, bad jokes to derail the topic away from the actual situation we have here.

[herbalsupplements]

When you offer reasonable discussion of our situation instead of spouting tired cliches about the weak kowtowing to the strong, perhaps you'll find a warmer reception.

[slackbeard]

But how will I learn to shoot great and stab good if nobody's going to give me a chance?

text;

[hellshot]

Stay on the ship and learn from someone. Throw yourself into the fray in order to practice, and I'll just enjoy viewing the fall of another loser.

[slackbeard]

Sounds like SOMEONE needs to participate in some team building exercises

Enjoy seeing the fall from directly behind me because this is a job for trust falls and I call you as a partner

[Great, just what he needs. More jokers.]

Doing better than a incapable idiot who chooses to both speak improperly over written messages and to use jokes to derail the topic of conversation.

[dudebro]

It's nice that you're concerned, but it's no good if you worry too much.

[hellshot]

[What... kind of username is... that....]

I'm not worried. At least, not in the way you and 'goku' are suggesting.

[straycloud]

[ Koumyou's username is the happiest username. ]

Are you so sure?

Goku sees the world more clearly than most, but I wouldn't think we're suggesting the same thing.

[ex_brainstorm70]

[ BODHI IS VISIBLY SHOOK. ]

Seriously? "Save your own skin", that's your advice to everyone? Listen... listen, that's not right. Sometimes a mission needs a hero.

video;

[hellshot]

It is. And you'd all be entirely wise to take my words into consideration.
Heroes die trying to save those who don't deserve it every day.

I don't care how 'right' it is or isn't. I'm being realistic.

[shabby]

[ This guy's appearance doesn't alarm Vaas any more than his message does. In fact, Vaas thinks he's cool. ( And would have been a nice addition to his pirates. ) ]

Survival of the fittest, hermano. [ He grins. ] Let nature do its work.

[hellshot]

[Finally, someone who actually seems to have a brain. (As crazy as he might look. But Gabriel wasn't one to turn away crazy.)]

And I will, if the idiots aren't keen enough to listen to my message, señor. [He's mildly amused by someone with the username El Rey, to boot. He can already tell that this guy was one he was going to appreciate.] And I plan to be the fittest. Without sticking my neck out for idiots.
