hadriel | Code - 004 [Audio]

Alright, fellow Caveians. I've got three questions that are in order of decreasing relevance to our current situation as cave-prisoners. In fact the last one isn't relevant at all, just sort of a distraction from the fact that some people still seem a bit sore about losing during that last event.

Hey, nothing wrong with a bear or flowers.

[Whistler managed to get chocolates so he's not complaining]

Anyway - First Question:

How many of you, prior to arriving in this Cave, had a profession that involved being armed or fighting on a regular basis. Now I know a lot of you can be touchy when anyone asks you well...anything... so the level of specifics you give me doesn't matter too much. Even "yes" or "no" will do. I'll take it as a sign not to ask any follow up questions.

[He may be a bit done with how 'not fun' a lot of you are]

Second Question:

How many of you come from a place that is NOT some variation of Earth?

And my third question:

If you were told you could have any ONE thing you wanted. No questions asked. No tricks. What would you ask for?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I used to get teased all the time cuz of my real name. Didn't exactly endear me to it.

Ah... Whistler it is, then.

Thanks.

So, Atem. Are you gonna answer any of my questions?

[Don't think he forgot about that!]

「 Heh, he hoped he did. 」

Alright. The first one... You could say yes.

I come from some variety of Earth.

And the third. I'd rather keep it to myself.

Alright

[He says it easily. He's not here to push anyone, after all he threw in that last question for fun. So if it wouldn't be fun for someone to answer, or at least not fun for anyone other than himself, then it defeats a lot of the purpose]

So, can I ask you to clarify about that first one?

I thought you said you didn't care?

「His voice is teasing, however.」

Not caring is different from not being curious

Curiosity killed the cat.

「he might or not be smirking on this side.

he totes is」

I'm more of a dog person myself. They're more blind people friendly.

[Well smirk all you want, Atem, because Whistler is laughing a soft wheezing laughter]

Hmm, dogs are okay too.

「Oh, wait--」

Are you blind?

「Wow, rude? ... no he doesn't see it. No pun inten...ded.... 」

Yup. Blind from Day Numero Uno.

Ah. 「Not like Matt but still like Matt...」

And do you have a dog?

Edited (¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) 2017-10-06 16:23 (UTC)

Did when I was a kid, not for a long time though. Doesn't really go with the job.

The job. You're gonna make me ask, aren't you?

You could ask. But my answer would be 'I'll tell you when you tell me what yours is'

[He hasn't had this much fun talking to someone in a long time]

「Cue chuckling. Touché. Not that he wasn't expecting it, truth to be told.」

King of Games. And of Egypt.

「THAT IS A JOB OK?.... no it´s not, not even the other... that's more like his right and duty and it's ...tiring as hell. hella rewarding tho.」

Your turn.

Edited (lmao english is hard) 2017-10-06 16:32 (UTC)

"King of Games and of Egypt" wouldn't happen to be the name of a themed toy store, would it?

[He'll get to his answer in a sec, a deal is a deal after all. But he wants to tease you first]

Hmm... You know what, it could be.

「Should tell Yugi's gramps about it! Change the name of his store, hah if only.」

[Whistler appreciates that this guy is good with a joke]

Alright. I work in freelance phone hacking for bank security.

Really? Sounds like something from a spy movie.

「Just saying.」

[That makes Whistler laugh again]

We'd be a pretty low budget spy team.

[What with their office being a defunct movie theater and all their money going into the van's equipment.]

So whats the connection between King of Egypt and King of Games?

That bad, huh?

... That's a ... very long story actually. 「~~just watch the series man!~~ That does mean there is a connection, somehow.」 May I offer you a raincheck for it?

「He really doesn't want to sit and tell someone he just met just his whole life story. Super tiring, and kind of still hurts to think about it all.」

Alright. But don't you think I'm gonna forget

[Tease]

And in the meantime I choose to believe you came from a world that fused Egypt with Monopoly.

Edited 2017-10-06 16:55 (UTC)

「Ohgdsf... Yep, that makes him laugh alright.」

Something much more exciting than Monopoly! I promise.

Edited 2017-10-06 16:57 (UTC)

Monopoly is not so much fun as its dangerous. They should call it "Ruining Your Friendships and Your Family Bonds The Game". I've never seen a monopoly game that hasn't ended with everyone angry at each other.
