[ The video shook a little before finally landing on his face. Well, the profile of his face. Seth had turned it on without realizing then stepped away. He glanced back, catching something moving in his peripheral.
Shit.
[ A look of illumination graced his features and he stopped his approach to turn off the feed. Seth cleared his throat, his expression more accepting of their surrounding circumstance than his frustrated focus of seconds ago. What could he say? He was glad to have a speaking voice again. Might as well put it to use. ]
If there's somethin' that getting sucked from one mess to another's taught me, it's that nothin' lasts forever. All this shit's temporary... I couldn't talk soon after ending up here. My better half couldn't hear. And some of you got acquainted with the pain in the ass who lives with us, Leo. --Who by the way, can't exactly help what he is and didn't fuckin' ask to be made but still lives buy a code. But I digress...
[ Seth sat back after the brief introduction of sorts. ]
I'm Seth. Seth Gecko. You've already met Leo on here. As my Bonnie once called him, 'a walkin'-talkin' after shave commercial' who sang for you. Margo hasn't graced you all with an appearance yet but that's probably thanks to the roller coaster we've been through since arriving. She'll no doubt talk about magic when she does. Me? Well, I'm just a run of the mill guy from Kansas City. No powers, though not too bad with a piece.
[ He leaned forward and pulled out a gun tucked at the small of his back, brought it to view then returned it. ]
So if I haven't bored you all to hell yet, maybe some of who's left can enlighten me on what life's been like here? It seems the breaking up into islands is something new. Before ending up here, the three of us were at a place in France--or at least, it seemed French--that nobody could make a sound or chance gettin' torn apart by monsters.
Anybody sharin' insight about life here, you've earned yourself some manual labor. Or anythin' else I can come up with.
[ He offered an expectant look at the end. Not quite a smile, but a signature move when trying to get something without the means to obtain it otherwise. ]
Shit.

[ Something between a scoff and chuckle left him. ]
While experience can make someone somethin' of an expert, I don't think anyone wants me patchin' them up, Doc.
[ Technically, Richie had a little more experience than him since Seth was the one more often needing to be patched up. But then Richie was no longer here. ]

Tell ya what, Doc... since you were nice enough to answer me on here, if I find a way over to the clinic, I'll drop in and see if I can be of any use.
no subject
Much appreciated.
[After all the clinic already has pirates, criminals, gods, what-have-you working for it. They can't pretend to be normal or have normal standards to begin with when it comes to their healthcare providers]
What is it you want to know about this place? Did you have something specific you were after?
no subject
Mostly any warnings a run of the mill human should have. I get it that no one expected the island thing to happen but somebody's already mentioned killer robots that I hadn't heard about. I'm not interested in testing out the theory that nobody actually dies here if I can help it.
no subject
[As one of the ones who has actually experienced it, he's still not sure. Given there can never be a comparison made with the alternative]
As for warnings, keep a good stock of food and water in your home. Some of the, uh, the 'events' the Gods put us through also involve limited access to supplies. Best to be prepared. For the most part you can never guess what they will decide to do. Ghost, storms, limbs going missing...all of these are things that have happened and they may never happen again or they might come back two, three, god knows how many times.
So my best advice is 'get your basics together'. The rest is chance
