video | UN: P5YCH0

[fuelthefire]

[This video starts with a man's eye. A little bit squinty, a little bit bloodshot, and framed by some kind of...mask?

Krieg pulls back from the device a little bit and yeah, it's definitely a mask.

He's still uncomfortably close (for other people) to the camera, but he doesn't know that, and if he did he wouldn't care. He has important business to discuss.]

The Badass Grandpa owes me a fight and a drink!

I'm ready for both!

Order doesn't matter!!

[Each statement he makes is louder than the one that precedes it. Indoor voices are for other people.

Could he have perhaps private messaged the aforesaid Badass Grandpa instead of broadcasting to the network? Absolutely. Does he realize this? It's hard to say. Would he care if he did? Definitely, absolutely not.]

[It's helping to convince Atsushi that he's talking to a crazy person!!]

I don't know what kind of world you came from, but any kind of killing isn't allowed here. [... Well, that's not technically true, but phrases like "frowned upon" certainly don't feel strong enough to convey Atsushi's opinion.] I would advise you to stop, before somebody stops you.

[fuelthefire]

[Oh, Krieg is a genuine crazy person, there's no question there.]

Then why'd they pay us for the giant fish skull?

[gekkajuu]

[Oh. Right. Immediately, Atsushi feels terrible for presuming the worst.

No - it definitely made sense to presume the worst!]

That's not murder so much as hunting! Or perhaps self-defense...

[Thinking back to the sea serpents, Atsushi belatedly wonders if he could have gotten money for its skull. He basically let it slip away dying. O O P S...]

[fuelthefire]

[He shrugs.]

Different words, same result! It was easier to kill than the tentacle monsters on Pandora, even if it did knock us into the water.

[Man, fighting the serpent had been the most fun he's had since he got to this boring planet. Hopefully the Battle Grandpa will also be as fun.]

Next time I hope there's a swarm!

[That'd be a real challenge!]

[gekkajuu]

I'm not sure that's the right word for it...

More importantly: please don't kill everything you run into! Self-defense is one thing, but for all we know, those sea serpents could be endangered.

[That... probably isn't where his priorities should be... Oh, well.]

[fuelthefire]

Pfmnahahahah! If they're not yet they will be if they keep trying to eat me!

[Is he going to go purposefully antagonize the sea serpents?

If he gets bored enough, heck yes he is.]

[gekkajuu]

[...

........

Yeah, Atsushi is just going to give up trying to talk sense into this guy.]

A-At any rate, try not to kill anything that's not an immediate threat. This planet is meant to be a safe haven for life, after all.

[A slightly rose-colored interpretation, but... sure.]

[fuelthefire]

[That's wise, Atsushi...save yourself the headache.]

I don't kill anything that doesn't try to kill me first.

[Because Maya will get angry if he does. u.u]

[gekkajuu]

[Fortunately Atsushi manages just fine at some forms of self-preservation... Very few, but this is one of them.]

Good... And thank you.

[fuelthefire]

[Head tilt]

What for?

[gekkajuu]

For listening to me... I guess?

[He was just being polite - sincerely, and without forethought.]
