♒ 5th VIDEO

[unconchonable]

[Maybe it's in bad taste. Maybe it's in bad taste and Eridan really does not give a shit. He's heard the news, and is delighted by it, to be perfectly honest. She was nothing but a disrespectful cur, and the news of her death has left him elated to say the least. When the feed turns on, he's sipping a hot cup of tea (pinky extended), of what type is anyone's guess, but he looks amused as ever.]

I say the bitch got what was comin' to her.

[He takes another long sip. He feels no need to disclose who, when it's probably obvious to anyone with a working think pan.]

Just goes to show that maybe there is some modicum a justice in this place.

[Karkat is giving him a look.]

Do you have any sense of decency whatsoever? She was stupid and brought it down on herself by being such a spectacular failure of an emperor, but you don't go announcing to the general public that she quote-unquote "got what was coming to her."

[unconchonable]

Afraid I'm gonna offend someone? [Utterly unfazed by that look, he's in too good of a mood yo!]

[ video ]

[beunbroken]

No, no she did not.

[Uh-oh, Elizabeth is angry. When she gets angry, she tends to throw things, or generally just destroy things.]

The Emperor was a wonderful woman, and has been nothing but kind to us. She doesn't owe us anything, but she took us in. She could have had us all killed on site. But she didn't.

You owe her some respect.

[ video ]

[unconchonable]

I owe her nothin'. [He doesn't sound upset, but he does sound less amused as he did before.]

Took us in? Are you fuckin' daft? She stole us, if anythin'. Downright kidnapped us and planned to use us as some sorta force to deal with her own damn problems. I fail to see where that equates to 'she took us in'. Fuckin' puh-leeze.

[Teddy is glaring so hard right now.]

No matter what your personal feelings towards the Emperor were, there are people mourning her right now. Show some respect for them if not for her.

video;

[unconchonable]

What makes you think I care about their feelin's?

[Video]

[vhaidtluin]

Well finally, some good news.

[Video]

[unconchonable]

Definitely. I was not expectin' this turn of ewents, but I am left completely satisfied.

Now if only I knew who did it, so then I could giwe 'em a right pat on the fuckin' shoulder for a job well done.

[alphatar]

You better think real hard next time you open your mouth, because you're going find my fist in it if you're not careful.

[That's a snarl if Korra ever gave one.]

Video;

[unconchonable]

[He hardly looks threatened.]

Is that a threat, or a promise?

video:

[grigio]

[Julie's pissed for a multitude of reasons and she's not one to threaten people she cares for. But this is just the last straw to a series of bullshit that's happened since landfall.]

Eridan, I say this because I consider you my friend and you need to know that at this moment, I really want to kick you in the ass for what you just said.

You're lucky I still can't see.

video:

[unconchonable]

[He's actually surprised by her calling him her friend. Sure, they didn't not get along or nothing, but...]

Look, that's fine you're upset an' such, I fuckin' get that, but threatenin' me for hawin' my own flippin' opinion on the ordeal ain't changin' nothin'.

Encrypted;

[manofiron]

I don't believe that killing people we don't like is an acceptable way of dealing with them.

[ That's about as far as Tony's morality goes. ]

But you know, I'm sure not going to be shedding any tears.

Encrypted;

[unconchonable]

[At first, Eridan gives Tony a flat look, because he's expecting another lecture, but by the end of it, he looks pretty pleased. Finally, another human with some sense!]

Color me surprised, an' here I thought all you humans had some sorta fond regard towards her.

video;

[hackingyoursensors]

[Dick looks bored. Someone like this wants to rile people up.]

Wow aren't you edgy?

video;

[unconchonable]

Edgy? [Human term??]

Sure, why not.

[backinakidflash]

No matter what you say she did, she was still a person. You're happy someone's dead. That is so many flavors of fucked up.

[unconchonable]

Look, I get you humans are sensitiwe, but us troll are used to death. Death ain't that big of a fuckin' deal, really. But yeah, yeah I am actually pretty damn happy ower these turn of ewents.

Downright satisfied, to be honest.

voice

[modernized]

Man, either you're looking to pick a fight or you're just plain stupid. Or both.

[His voice is full of distaste but a leveled calmness. Seriously, what the hell is this dude's fucking problem?]

voice

[unconchonable]

Neither.

[he sounds so confident on this fact, too.]

But a fight happenin'? I wouldn't complain.

[video]

[hasthreefingers]

That's a horrible thing to say!

[video]

[unconchonable]

I think quite the contrary.

audio;

[mightythinice]

Man, what the fuck is your problem?!

audio;

[unconchonable]

Problem? [He sounds thoughtful for a moment, before he just shrugs, lifting his cup of tea up, a brief pause in movement as he responds.]

Ain't got no problem seein' as she's dead as can be. Cheers. [And with a smug little lift of his cup, he then takes a drink. Classy.]

voice

[skybluejeep]

Congratulations. You're officially the biggest idiot on the turtle.

voice

[unconchonable]

An' how am I an idiot, exactly?

video

[browbeater]

Could you please not antagonize people? Least of all my girlfriend?

[GOD DAMN IT, HE SEES THAT CONVERSATION, and he is more than annoyed at Eridan antagonizing Korra. That. Makes this interesting.]

Where are you?

[before she destroys the place. Damn it.]

video

[unconchonable]

She came to me lookin' for a fight, it'd be rude a me to turn her down. [A shrug.]

Where I am hardly matters. I can take her just fine, thanks for your concern. [He's just being an ass.]

video;

[wrathfulkhan]

[Gene is quietly amused by Eridan's reaction to the news.]

Tell me - do you actually thrive off of putting your foot in your mouth? If I didn't know better, I'd think you're trying to get half the turtle mad at you. And if you are, it's pathetically transparent.

I know you're hard up for a hatecrush, but this is desperate, even for you.

video;

[unconchonable]

As if I'm that desperate. [Eye roll.]

Though... Perhaps you are. Seein' as you keep seekin' me out like this. What's the matter, do you long for my touch again or somethin'?

video;

[explosivepenetrators]

[ Peter wasn't even going to waste words here after their last exchange. He opened the video feed just to give Eridan a rather scathing look - he might not have been here long enough to form an opinion on Eshai either way, but this was definitely low. ]

video;

[unconchonable]

[Eridan just answers him with an amused stare as he takes a long sip of his tea. Yep, real casual like.]

Ahh. Tea always is better when you drink in celebration, don't you agree?

[kanye shrug man, he doesn't even care.]

audio;

[dracobin]

[No verbal response here: just a low, inhuman rumble that builds into a deafening blast of static. Possibly literally, if the sound was turned up too high.]

audio;

[unconchonable]

[Yeah that definitely made him jump, which makes him glad that the video isn't on.]

....Hm, could you say that again? I couldn't quite get any a that. Maybe with words this time.

[gathersnomoss]

... waving your hands and yelling 'I have a motive for murder!' does not convince me of your common sense, unless you're planning on taking on the locals. In which case... have fun with that by yourself.

There's also the fact that she was the only known person who could bring people here, and presumably send them away. I'd have preferred we'd figured out how she was doing that before she died, since it removes one of our options to go home.

[Zel doesn't care much for the Emperor, but he does care about not getting an angry mob outside his door when he can't leave town. Also, the murder makes snooping in the palace a lot harder, and apparently weakened other protections. Basically, the Emperor was more useful alive than dead, even if Zel thought she was pompous and a jerk.]

[unconchonable]

Tch, I'd like to see them attempt to incarcerate me ower this. [Of course that attitude really isn't helping his case any.]

I also ain't expectin' anyone to come to my aid ower this, either. Kinda do the whole loner thing pretty well by now. [Even if he hates being alone.] Besides, I'm more than capable a defendin' myself.

[But that next part... Yeah, that's... definitely a point.] Can't say I mind bein' here, ewen more so with her bein' gone. Unfortunate for those a you who feel the need to go back to where ewer it is you came from, but after hawin' my planet and species destroyed, this actually is a better alternatiwe. Less of a chance to go back the better.

[He says all of this after ridiculing everyone who tried to say being brought here was a blessing for them. This guy...]

[loquaciouslyfeline]

A modicum of respect appears to be lacking on your part, Mr. Ampora.

[She's visibly angry, although still composed. And you had been getting along so well, too!]

[unconchonable]

[Oh dear, he actually looks a little put-off by her reaction. He thought better of you, really!]

Is it really necessary to respect those who hawe shown no respect themselwes? I must say, I ain't in a position to care for the life or death, as the case may be, to someone who chose to enslawe me for her own personal warfare.

[video]

[jackdaws]

Justice, lad? In what manner did she wrong you?

[Edward's indifferent to all the outraged and upset responses, being new here as he is, and being as cynical about kings and emperors as he is. Good, honest, ordinary people die every day and go unmourned, but spill a drop of royal blood and people take to the streets to sob in their droves. Funny, that.]

[video]

[unconchonable]

She showed me utter an' total disrespect. [That's it. That's what it takes.]

You'd think someone a her standin' would know a thing or two about speakin' with royalty, and yet... Don't matter much now, seein' as she bit the dust. A fittin' end, I must admit.

Video;

[parallels]

Okay. That's not going to be passed on account of cultural differences.

((ooc; I wanted to tag this but have been gone, if it's far gone to tag back, I get it!))

Video;

[unconchonable]

Oh my god, not you too. [SIGH.]

((ooc; Never! I am always okay with backtags!))

[Video]

[tony_redgrave]

Well look at you, you're just making new friends all over, Points. And here you almost had me convinced you'd be terrible at welcoming committee. I mean with an attitude like this, they'd be stupid not to have you.

[Video]

[unconchonable]

[THIS FUCKING GUY...]

Do you got a point to this? You're clearly not upset, so are you just here to try an' pick a fight ower nothin'? [His good mood has kinda been ruined due to all the bitching from everyone else, so sorry Dante.]
