First Body: (video)

[At first, there is nothing on the Elegante network from this particular userid.

BUT THEN!!!

With a click, the communicator turns on, and starts broadcasting. You get a nice, close-up view of Cecil's eye.]

Rinky-dink piece of shit....

[It pulls back, goes down, and you are now looking up at Cecil, two blobs on either side of the screen. Those would

...Say what?

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

A goon prison!

[Can you feel the urgency.]

You know, federal government lockup for people who break the law?

[Audio]

[idkmybffsean]

[Oh this is too good.]

Em, yeah. Yeah, brother. Yer fucked now.

[Can you hear that verbal headshake?]

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

[Y so mean Joe.]

I dunno, this seems awfully nice for a goon prison.

[Cecil shakes the comm.]

And crazy!

[Like Joe doesn't know this part.]

[Audio]

[idkmybffsean]

Aye, lad. It's fuckin' batshit insane out there.

Don't let the calm fool ya. There's plenty of weird shit waitin' just around the corner.

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

What could be weirder than a prison that has necromancers and probably werewolves in it?

[Because if it's a goon prison, you're bound to have those two.]

[Audio]

[idkmybffsean]

A prison on a boat filled with pixies and fire that never seems to burn out.

[Joe smiles.]

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

The fire I've got at work, buddy.

[He pauses.]

...Pixies? Those're just rumors.

[Cecil is beginning to trawl through the network, though.]

[Audio]

[idkmybffsean]

...Yeah? Yer not one of those mage things, are ya?

[Joe snorts.]

I didn't think Pixie's were real either, brother. And then I met one of the bastards.

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

Naw, but my manager was. I'm a necro.

And this isn't a prison, you shithead!

[Cecil is both angry and amused!]

[Audio]

[idkmybffsean]

Necro... pheliac?

Brother, that's kinda gross.

[Eew.]

And the more you look at it, the more like a prison this place becomes. Try gettin' off the boat and let me know how that works out for ya.

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

Haha, like I've never heard that one before. No dude, necromancer. You know, "Dance my zombies, dance"?

[Ass.]

You mean there's no lifeboats or like, helicopters that can come get us?

These are terrible cellulars, then.

[Shake-a shake-a comm.]

[Audio]

[idkmybffsean]

[Joe chuckles at that.]

You mean you turn dead guys into puppets? That's still kinda gross.

[He sounds amused. It's all lighthearted fun.]

There's boats, but I dunno if anyone's tried to use them. No choppers, no radio beyond this little connection between passengers on the boat. It's pretty fuckin' lame.

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

Well, I can. I'm better at just bringing dead guys back to life.

But even that's still gross.

[Cecil grins. He has no ideals about his job. It's pretty icky.]

Well, someone should try to use the damn boats. At least we know for sure they don't work.

And you're telling me! Dated piece of shit.

[Audio]

[idkmybffsean]

And sail to where? I've been here a week and ain't seen a damn piece of land. We don't know where we are, lad.

...What's yer name, anyway?

[Audio]

[bringthedeadup]

...Got a point. Not much sense in taking our own boat if we just die of exposure in a week or so.

Cecil. What about you?
