Second Guitar Solo - [Video] Eddie Riggs

[nogutsnoglory]

I figure this isn't exactly gonna work, but- it's worth a shot. You know, for prosperities sake. Hell it worked in the last place I was at, with mixed results, but whatever.

[He takes a slow centering breath, closing his eyes as silence falls over the feed. The silence lingers for a few moments more before Eddie suddenly claps his hands together, the loud noise probably startling anyone actually watching the video. His eyes staying closed as he begins to speak.]

Oh, holy, mean green and scaly giant turtle carryin' us around. That sounds good, right? You think you could like- send us home or some shit? It'd be appreciated oh, uh mighty turtle guy- or girl. Equal turtle rights, man. No discrimination for turtles, hell no.

Like, we'll solve your problems or whatever. As long as it doesn't involve stupid shit or too much terrible death, I kinda like livin'. Just like give us some fuckin' clue to what is goin' on since everyone is intent on being vague as fuck. You're like, a giant turtle so you can be honest, right?

Yeah?

[There is just silence for a moment, but Eddie doesn't seemed deterred by it as he keeps going.]

Okay, cool. We'll- give you, the fuck do turtles eat, lettuce and carrots. Giant pieces of lettuce and carrots in return and save the day too, cause I guess we're here for that apparently. Just give us a sign. Like, a good one, not that oblique shit like turtle faces on toast. That would be kinda weird.

Uh, am-turtle-men.

[Eddie opens an eye looking around. Letting the silence go on a moment before sighing.] Okay, no earth shatterin' kaboom or sign, so probably didn't work? Damn it. So much for that.

Just call me Eddie, Mr. Riggs was my ole man.

[That earns him a smile; she'd overheard Sully say nearly the same line before.]

Eddie it is, then.

So what kind of vegetables were you planning on feeding this turtle, anyway? They'd have to be pretty big, don't you think?

[[video]]

[nogutsnoglory]

Okay- that might be a snag in the plan, but we could always like glue a lot of produce together and give it to the turtle. Not a perfect plan, but its a good prototype until we get a better idea or giant lettuce.

[tearsinnajar]

That's a lot of glue. The turtle might not appreciate eating paste.

[Video]

[nogutsnoglory]

We could figure out an edible kinda paste, somehow. I think that kinda thing exists.

[tearsinnajar]

We'd have to ask a lot of kedan preschoolers to give theirs up.

I mean, if they have preschools here.

[nogutsnoglory]

If its mass produced they could make more- wouldn't be a big deal.

Do they- have schools here at all? [Now he's distracted trying to picture how a school system would work here.]

[Video]

[tearsinnajar]

I don't know, I'm still pretty new. I should look into it.

[Video]

[nogutsnoglory]

Seriously. I ain't exactly that new, but I haven't found out as much as I'd like.

[Video]

[tearsinnajar]

That's the general story I'm getting around here. It's pretty frustrating.

[She chuckles lightly.]

And considering that, I can't really blame you for taking the direct approach.

[nogutsnoglory]

This is not exactly the best way to rally folks on your side more or less.

It's better than twiddlin' my thumbs wonderin' what I can do. Asides you know pesterin' the locals about shit.
