Third Cross [Video]

[notanexplorer]

Well. Would you look at that. This date has been quite clearly etched into my chest.

[He adjusts the camera to focus on the metal cross embedded in his chest. The camera comes into focus and this date s very clearly engraved into it.]

I don't have any idea what it means, though. But happy me day, I guess. It's good to be the Methuselah.

Do you know what tempting fate is?

[notanexplorer]

I'm familiar with the term, yeah.

[mister_hatter]

So you know it's when you say 'dear fate, please provide me with nasty, foreseeable consequence' and fate goes 'my pleasure.'

[Folk chuckles.]

You're oh so clever, you know that? Sure, people might try to come for me, but it's not like I'm totally unfit for battle. The way I see it, if someone's got a beef with me for that damn kid's angel attack, then so be it. But know it wasn't me who wreaked havoc on the place. Ys just lost his shit.

[mister_hatter]

Ys is who I'm talking about. Do you really think you're a match for him? You saw what he did the first time he tried, and here you are, inviting him to come again.

[notanexplorer]

I'm not inviting anyone to anything. I'm just bored out of my skull. This place is boring when all I can do without the goddamn committee's permission is sit and watch people have bad dreams or act sad or sullen or die agonizing deaths. All you fuckers are too tight ended.

[He titters. Break aims to please.]
