☢1st Smoke [Voice → Video]

[the_gun_smoker]

[So, Badou had managed to electrocuted himself, blown a broken computer up and fall down a flight of old, stairs so far, this all happening from a result of running frantically into the nearest building he could find, after his uneasy arrival on the shore. His voice was rasp, sore and dry sounding.] Oh Christ, please let this thing work, Hello,

Yeah, you'vve been kidnapped. And every other thing around's probably lookin' to kill you noww that you're here. But it's lookin' to kill evveryone else, too, so don't think you're special or anythin'.

[Video]

[the_gun_smoker]

Never said I was special.

[He swallows , totally looking over his shoulder and around the room, just to be sure nothings lurking.]

So, are you one of the hunted, or a hunter? Curious minds wanna know.

[glubbin]

Wwho's askin'?

[Video]

[the_gun_smoker]

Huh? I'm just a photographer, I ain't the bad guy here man.

[Fumbling around, looking for his lighter.]

But if my name is what you were after, its Badou.

[video]

[glubbin]

Badou, right.

[ it takes a moment, but he manages to switch over to video. he's lit dimly up by the glow of a wand he's got in hand. ]

To answwer your question... I'm more hunted as of late, tragically. And nothin's givin' me any breaks. It's awwful.

[the_gun_smoker]

[His eyes widen for a moment, once the video on the other end comes on. Horns, odd complexion, strange eyes and ears? well, its just like the underground then... great~ ]

What's hunting you?..er, I didn't get your name.

[Lighting up his cigarette - which takes a while considering the pack is a little on the soggy side.]

[video]

[glubbin]

I didn't givve it. Yet. It's Eridan.

An' it's these fuckin' angels, and a bunch a other things that'vve been showwin' up.

[video]

[the_gun_smoker]

[Eridan, Eridan, he's never heard that name before. Ah well.]

Angels huh? um.. I've never ran into a dangerous angel before, but other things sounds kinda ominous man.

[video]

[glubbin]

[ he's the only one with angel problems anyway. hallucinations, you know. ]

I don't really knoww wwhat the other things are. It's hard to get a good look at 'em.

[video]

[the_gun_smoker]

[Nah, Badou hasn't realized the crap he saw on his way to the house he's in now were just hallucinations. He's easily spooked and will forever think that there is some creepy little white kid following him.]

My suggestion, don't look for them. Just ignore them, pretend like they aren't even there. ...Really, its how I get through most of my day..

[video]

[glubbin]

Yeah, good luck wwith that. They're not really lettin' themselvves be ignored.

[video]

[the_gun_smoker]

Its easy, I'll show you. I'm about to ignore everything that's happened to me today.

[Holding up his cigarette to the screen and smiling slightly.]

With this wonderful stick of bliss, and the first bath I find to soak in.

[video]

[glubbin]

You're not, really.

But go on believvin' that. It wwon't be my fault wwhen you're dead.

[video]

[the_gun_smoker]

[Well, Badou did kind of look like he was zoned out for a moment then, while he smoked that cigarette. Eyes closed and a wide goofy expression on his face. Until, that is, Eridan mentioned death.]

I only just got here and already I'm sure I got a broken nose and you telling me I'm gonna die?

[video]

[glubbin]

[ pushes the end of his scarf back over one shoulder flippantly. ]

If you sit back wwithout defendin' yourself, then obvviously you're not gonna livve for vvery long.

[video]

[the_gun_smoker]

[Che, he reminds Badou of a teacher from school, when he used to go.. and.. gray...]

Lived long enough so far, and there's been much worse after me than shadows and angels.

[You're watching this aren't you? So you can totally see Badou looking over his shoulder every other second, scared shitless... clearly.]
