003 Audio [Day Four, Daytime]

[finalarbiter]

((The following recording is taken from this thread))

[The camera pans to a trail of slime leading towards the shore. Who ever's recording is following it until it guides him just out of reach of the tide to a rocky area.]

The trail ends here.

[Some of you may recognize Sai's voice. Now we see the slime simply disappearing around a large pile of rocks

[As impressed and approving of the organization as Eliot is for this monster hunt, he cannot just stand by and watch without making comment. Not when the young man on the other end is suggesting people go down into a nest of those things and likely never come back.

Nevermind the surprise of hearing his roommate's voice speaking in translated English. Or that he saw squiggles of ink go into a tunnel. There were some things that just shouldn't be done.]

Do that and people are just gonna get killed. There's recon, and there's suicide missions. That sounds awfully like the latter to me.

Those things are afraid of fire. I suggest blockin' any tunnel exits and just takin' them out with a blaze.

How do you know they're afraid of fire?

[That would be very useful information to know prior to going inside. Also, Hello Roomie! Your roommate here doesn't know how to use his communicator as efficiently as you yet, so although your voice is scrabbled his is sadly, not.]

[OOC: His snakes are out of the recording's view. They're never recorded by the camera during the video clip.]

[Sadly, his is not scrambled at all. It's merely anon, but that telltale southern drawl with the gruff undertone? Still there by the gallons with an extra helping of gruffness.]

They're animals, they've still got their animal instincts. It worked that night when we dealt with them in hordes.

[[OOC: Oh! Oops. Scratch that part of what I said above. Thought it was all part of the video. My bad!]]

[He'll pick up your unique drawl soon enough, but for now, he has no idea he's talking to his roommate, which means, they don't talk enough. ;_;]

You used fire to scare them or kill them?

[OOC: No problem! I always misread things myself! XD]

[He does have a pretty distinctive voice.]

They're afraid of fire, but they burn just as well.

Audio || Anon

[painted_seals]

I see.

[His words reminded him that he didn't have a particularly powerful fire technique.]

Did they retreat when you used it against them?

Audio || Anon

[distinctive_guy]

They shrank back, which works just as well. Put enough fire at'em and they moved right out of the way.

[painted_seals]

Are you going to help explore the tunnels?

Audio || Anon

[distinctive_guy]

Not suicidal.

Audio || Anon

[painted_seals]

[A pause as he glances at you. Sadly, now he thinks you might be a bit suicidal.]

Why would you be suicidal?

Audio || Anon

[distinctive_guy]

[Oh man, Sai really need to work on understanding expressions. Or just general common sense. Eliot begins to suspect his roommate doesn't have any.]

Look, you walk into a tunnel jammed with monsters packed tighter than a sardine can... Yeah, tell me how that goes for ya.

Audio || Anon

[painted_seals]

[Then why make a point of saying you're not suicidal, if you weren't?]

It's a necessary risk.

We don't know anything about those tunnels the tentacled creatures call home.

Audio || Anon

[distinctive_guy]

[Because that was a proper answer to such a question.]

That's not a risk, that's a suicide mission. Ya don't need to know the tunnels to seal and destroy those creatures.

Audio || Anon

[painted_seals]

[*head tilt* Really? *writes down that answer for future reference*

He was used to suicidal missions. They didn't bother him anymore.]

It's stupid to destroy something you don't know anything about. [He looks at him.] Our way home may be inside those tunnels.

Audio || Anon

[distinctive_guy]

[There are difficult missions, which he has been in plenty, and there are impossible missions, where people go die.]

Do ya really believe that?

Audio || Anon

[painted_seals]

[Belief has nothing to do with it.]

We can't rule it out.
