Anybody seen Brandon? Black hair, weird face scars, total asshole? Oh, and I guess he can also control electricity and if you're a chick, he's probably hit on you.

If anyone has seen him, can you let me know? I know he's been living like a hobo, but he's more of a couch potato hobo, not a mine-dwelling-turning-into-a-gremlin-hobo, so unless his couch ate him, I'm pretty sure he's gotta be around here somewhere.

[Or he's gone home. Or arrested. Or. Something. God, he shouldn't be as worried about Brandon as he is, but dammint, he was his friend. The least he could do was tell him where he was going. The irony of him breaking up with Steph because they don't know when they would randomly get sent home was so not funny right now

He frowns one last time, and then moves on.]

Also, I'm not the only person who lost their job on this stupid turtle, but I'm willing to keep going, but I'm not working for any kedan.

If anyone needs anything delivered to other parts of the turtle quick, I'm your guy. I'm super fast so I can get it there in minutes that would usually take hours, and you can pay me in food. It has to be food, or else it'll take me longer to get your stuff where it needs to go. It's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

[You can tell it's sort of hurting him to stoop to this. But he's desperate. And being flippant about it is his way of dealing with it.]

Lemme know, yeah? For both things.

I tried to be nice to him and he acted like an asshole. I was really temped to knock his ass out but I stopped myself.

[Vic nods. He's relieved to hear it, really. After what happened to him, he's worried about others.]

There's a lot of pink slips being handed out to guys like us these days.

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

Yeah, that sounds like him. A complete dick that you wanna punch in the face.

[He grumbles.]

Yeah. It's not really our fault for being here.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

He reminds me of someone I go to school with back home actually.

It's not but apparently it's easier to blame us than who's really at fault.

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

Would you when she can probably throw you off the turtle?

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

I'm blaming her now. I've been blaming her since I got here.

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

You and me both, man. What a bitch.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

Just wait. With all the Kedan getting angry that we're even here, she's probably going to try to restrict us somehow. And probably won't even bat an eye at how some of us are being unfairly fired and attacked.

[crotcharrow]

Man, I never thought I'd miss home but, damn. I'm starting to miss New Jersey.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

I'd even go back to Utopia to get away from this place.

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

I've been to hell dimensions better than this hunk of reptile.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

Same here. At least in Limbo there were things to hit.

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

The mines are pretty good for hitting and blowing off steam.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

The mines, huh? Are there just rocks down there or some kind of creatures?

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

Mostly rocks. [He laughs.] Some old carts and junk. I'm pretty sure Brandon found a dead cow or something too.

But I mean, if you have explodey powers, causing rockfalls is pretty fun.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

Well I don't have explodey powers but I can break some rocks pretty easily. Were the carts all broken or did it look like they could still work?

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

Some still worked? We didn't wanna try doing a test drive on 'em in case parts of the tracks were missing.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

[He nods.] I'll check the tracks before I start messing with any of the carts then. They'll make it a lot easier to carry what I'm going there for.

[crotcharrow]

Setting up a lizard-man cave?

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Vic laughs.] Sweet as that sounds, I'm more of a treehouse kind of guy when it comes lairs.

[He shakes his head.] No, I'm just looking to stock up on decent rocks...in case Santo needs them.

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

[He raises an eyebrow.] What, does he shed or something?

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

No but his body can be damaged and the rocks rendered unusable so having new ones just in case couldn't hurt.

Re: [Video]

[crotcharrow]

Huh. And here was me thinking he just grew rocks. So what, do you just tape them on?

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Victor pauses and then laughs.] No, no tape. Santo's a psychic entity. He can sort of just...add the rocks to his body if he wants to even make a whole new body.

[Video]

[crotcharrow]

Like a dust bunny, but with rocks? Huh. Weird.

So he only likes specially mined ones?

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

[And again Victor laughs.] Oh man...I'd love to see how he reacts if he heard you call him that.

No, he can use any. But he says there's not enough usable ones in the city.
