First Guitar Solo - Eddie Riggs [Video]

[nogutsnoglory]

I'd ask if this was some kind of weird dream, but, kinda doubt that since my dreams don't get this fuckin' elaborate. Alongside the fact it isn't the first time I woke up some place different after dyin'. Is this gonna be a fuckin' trend in my life or what? What next, a land made of ice cream or some shit?

But, yeah, [He rubs the back of his neck thoughtfully. His expression serious before he summons a smile.] kinda not the point of this post, I'm wondering if anyone can give me an actual fuckin' rundown on this place? I got some shit from those- weird guys who picked me up, but, I dunno what to believe and what not to believe.

Far as I know now, havin' runnin' water is fuckin' fantastic, holy shit. Electricity- I didn't know how much I missed this shit until I woke up here. [He laughs easily at the thought.]

I'm Eddie by the way, s'nice to meet whoever replies to this weird fuckin' thing.

But what if there are babes in the land made of ice cream? That'd be like the best land ever.

Somebody stick that on top of a giant turtle.

[nogutsnoglory]

Dude, I think were are plenty of babes here, probably. Just gotta like look round for em.

Best land for awhile, minus you know, the ice cream meltin', cause eventually it'll melt. Then everythin' would get really fuckin' sticky.

[zerotoawesome]

I already know they're here, I've seen them, but there could be babes and ice cream... And they could be in bikinis! [Think about it, bro.]

What if the land is up north? You know, like with the polar bears and penguins?

[it hasn't been a good few weeks.

with the discovery that her powers trickle away like water on the mainland, she's given up finding anything of note in order to keep her plans going while everyone else is busy exploring. there's some progress, but it's limited. she's not happy with it.

and now. this. she recognizes that voice. she'd recognize it a hundred thousand miles away, under the ocean. it makes her hands curl into fists and her blackened heart swell with rage.

she manages to keep herself mostly calm when she snaps on the return video. but the anger is visible in the tension of her shoulders and in her eyes. she is furious.]

Oh, it can't be nice to meet everyone who replies.

Welcome to our giant extra-dimensional turtle!

[Said in his most melodramatic, booming voice possible. Like he's trying to channel Mysterio, just without the attitude.]

It's a downhill ride, but you'll figure that out on your own. Also, how familiar are you with the concept of "swear jars"?

[Video]

[nogutsnoglory]

Extra dimensional turtle- now that part I didn't exactly hear. Clearly the introduction system is flawed 'round here.

I don't do swear jars, kid. [Because he'd be poor considering his vocab consists of words you can only say in a M rated game as freely as he does.]

[Video]

[wallcrawler]

Well, there goes my plan for monthly income...

[GRUMBLE GRUMBLE]

But yep, extra-dimensional turtle with a city on its back. Apparently, not everyone here is from the same reality. Heck, some people even started running into doppelgangers from other universes.

Oh and uh, don't expect to get many answers out of the locals. Anytime you ask 'em anything too specific, they just say "that's the emperor's business" and clam up. Kinda frustrating.

[Clark winces slightly at the language, but decides not to comment on it. Bigger fishes to catch, after all.]

I'd be willing to show you around if you wanted- what sector are you going to live in?

Actually- have you been told about the sectors already, Eddie?

[nogutsnoglory]

That'd be pretty awesome actually, I don't really know shit bout this place asides where my apartment is. It's in the wood sector.

Kinda sorta, I wouldn't mind a run down to be sure of things.

[andaway]

[He gives him a little smile] Then I'll be there as soon as I can. Do you know the exact number? It'd make finding you easier.

[ Kid has been here not quite 24 hours. Next task: correct random stranger's bad language habits. Kid =/= priorities. ]

Do you feel that language really necessary?

video;

[nogutsnoglory]

Completely motherfuckin' necessary. [Meanwhile Eddie is a dickbag and will curse more.]

Re: video;

[grimreaping]

... I see.

So presumably you'll also be needing everything in simplistic terms?

[shootingshields]

[Honestly she ain't even fazed by the language. Soldiers and their potty mouths, man.]

If you have questions, it helps to ask specifics. Is there something absolutely pressing you'd like to know?

video

[nogutsnoglory]

True, very true. I'm still tryin' to adjust to, not being deadish.

How is this a land between death, dreams and life? Why are the locals terrible at helpin' out? Why are we here is also kinda big one.

video

[shootingshields]

Not everyone here is actually dead.

To your first question, I think the answer is a bit up in the air still. The locals defer everything to the Emperor, as I'm sure you've become aware. Some of them are more informative than others, if you can find the right kind of chatty folk.

As for why we're here, word through the grapevine is the Emperor summoned us to save the kedan from some kind of threat. But the actual reason has yet to be properly revealed.

[... generally, Asami doesn't make a point of reading other people's conversations. It's rude. But she can't help it when she sees Ophelia's ID. She's so solitary, which means maybe this is someone from her home?

But it's more than that. Asami only has to listen to the first few messages to know that this is the person who betrayed her, and... she actually doesn't know how to feel about that.]

I...

[No. She wants to talk to Ophelia first.]

Welcome to Keeliai.

[But her tone is a little cold.]

video;

[nogutsnoglory]

[The coldness of her tone makes Eddie's brow quirk slightly.] You alright over there?

Thank you.

video;

[stickshift]

[Oops. She didn't quite mean for it to be so noticeable.]

No, no, I'm fine.

[She takes a breath and manages a slight smile.]

My name's Asami, Asami Sato.

Electricity is brilliant, isn't it? [This guy is absolutely gushing.] Best thing in the world, it is, I'll never understand how humans got on so long without it! Would that they'd started with better, well, methods of, ah, capturing it, at least where I'm from, but hey, they learn, they move on, no? But anyway, good to meet you, Eddie sir, what was it you wanted to know, specific-like?

[video]

[nogutsnoglory]

Hey man, you gotta give props to runnin' water too. Shit is fuckin' fantastic. [Is laughed a lightly back by the roadie.]

You know why we've been dragged here? Why they aren't exactly tellin' us everythin'? I wouldn't mind more perspectives on those questions. Shit is kind of muddled around here.

[disfavored]

[Goodness, such language. That is not classy at all. But he'll ignore it.]

I'm sure everyone's told you the gist of it by now. But I'd also advise you to be wary of interacting with the kedan - the native residents here - if no one has said anything about them already.

[nogutsnoglory]

[Good, or things would have gotten LESS classy.]

Yeah, I've gotten a good grasp on some stuff round here. Probably gonna go pokin' round on my own for extra info. How wary should I be? Like, have my battle axe on hand or just listen with a grain of salt?
