[The computer terminal isn't anything new to Grave, although the specifics take a moment to figure out. After that, though, he's activating the feed and getting right to it.]

Just when you think that you've seen everything technology has to offer, there lands yet another surprise in your lap.

[He doesn't look particularly impressed or surprised, really.]

I've really just got one question at the moment... Was that a cow? Not that I've ever seen a real, breathing cow anywhere around home... I don't think anyone has in the last ten years, actually, but there are pictures in holo-books. Maybe GeneCo should expand from human biology and take up endangered and extinct animal species.

God knows, I could rip right into a natural fucking hamburger that wasn’t made up of bi-products I can’t even pronounce.

I’m not too sure how happy I am to have been dropped into the ocean, [He gives a half shrug.] but it's already a good deal nicer than home. Nice pad, by the way. Still, it seems quite the eclectic group of people hereabouts and with such diversity comes business, and that’s one gift horse I’m not going to look in the mouth. [He smiles and many might think it the smile of a predator and in many ways, it is.] Every market has a sub-market, so they say, and it’ll just take a bit of poking around to find it here.

[His smile slips then, his expression growing serious.]

Hey, Kid, you around?

[Face. PALM.]

Megamind. My name. Is. MEGAMIND. Please, for the love of all that's evil and unholy in this forsaken world -- use it!

[If this odd man comes up with another nickname Megamind might just spontaneously combust.]

There are other far more pressing matters to be discussing! Such as, oh, I don't know, the fact that we're currently sailing awayon a gigantic turtle!

[The explosion isn’t surprising, as Graverobber has been pushing for it since he’d started speaking with him, but the name… sweet Jesus, the name. Grave is doing rather brilliantly at not looking amused at all though, his expression quasi-serious the entire time.]

Let me just make sure I have this right, okay honey? Megamind, right? [His brows furrow slightly and he gives the alien a proper once over, or at least as much as he can see of him.]

Huh… how... original. [Sarcasm. Loads of it. He falls silent as Mr. Blue begins going off about ‘more pressing matters’ and such, shrugging a bit in response.]

Oh, dunno… if we’re dead or dreaming, does it really matter that we’re on a giant floating turtle? [No, he didn’t really think they were all dead or dreaming, but it was one of the explanations they’d been fed, so why not humor it. Hell, this was actually the first time anyone had mentioned the turtle thing to him, so he’d have to look into that.

He taps his chin lightly, lips pursed before he looks right at the camera again.]

Seems to me the only reason that would become a problem is if this turtle decides to suddenly dive under water. [Pointed stare as he falls silent. Had you considered this possibility, Megs?]

YES, Megamind. [PLEASE.

Exasperated, Megamind drags his hands over his face and shakes his head -- he's trying to shake those words out of his head, Grave. Damn his perfect memory. AUGH.]

Of course it matters -- for precisely that reason!

[He knows it's a turtle and he knows turtles GO UNDER WATER. He'd pestered the residents about the WHERE'S of this place until they'd told him and that bit of info?

NOT REASSURING.]

Now that, Mr. Inappropriate, is something far more worth discussing!

[You see this bemused smirk Graverobber is wearing, Megs? This smile should pretty much tell you just how many fucks her gives about you’re your name actually is.]

Right… Megamind… I got it, sweecheeks, so you can stop repeating yourself. [Doesn’t mean he’s going to use the correct name at any singular point, though, just fyi. LULZ.]

As for the turtle… well… you’re name’s Megamind isn’t it? Figure it out… [His shrug is the most casual of shrugs, ever.] If anyone can figure out the problem, it’s the obvious choice… Unless, of course, you’d rather we discuss your disheartening sex life a bit more?

[This is the biggest pissy scowl you've ever seen bro.]

Yes. Good. Fantastic.

[But obviously you dont Grave because you keep calling him things like SWEETCHEEKS.

DRAMATIC SIGH.]

I am working on it, thank you very much! And my sex life is irrelevant.

[That pissy scowl brings out your eyes, Megs. And sadly, Grave doesn't seem to have the least amount of apology in the constant use of pet names.]

Glad you think so, Bluebelle... good to avoid any silly points of contention.

[You know... like your name or mentions of your sex life?

In the end he shrugs, but looks clearly disbelieving.]

If you say so, but don't forget the lovely ladies and gentlemen of the Fir Sector for all your... extra curricular... needs.

[…SIGH.]

Yes. Thank you. I’ll certainly keep it in mind.

[HE IS NOT GOING TO A BROTHEL.

…Yet. Stop tempting him, creeper.]

Who ARE you, anyway?

Don't know how you couldn't... [What with your head being so big and all.

You'll end up at one eventually and very likely escorted by this very same gentleman. The quicker you accept your fate, the happier you'll be, Megs.

He grins as it finally comes around to him giving his own name.]

Name's Graverobber, Meg. [He doesn't expect any judgment from the guy who's named after an oversized cranium.]

Graverobber.

[And you made fun of his name. And face. And orientation.]

I would say pleasure, but --

[IT'S KIND OF NOT.]

[Yes, he did. And with a perfectly straight face too. You know why, Megs? Because he has a real name, too. He’s a socially judgmental asshole and gives no fucks.]

But you don’t know how to adequately express the joy I bring to your life, mm? I know, it’s kind of a skill I have.

[Yes, he’s aware of the effect he’s really having on you, Megs. It’s just that he’s having so much fun.]

Yes. Joy.

[Can you see the joy on his face? CAN YOU?]

I think we are quite finished here.
