video; un: Clyde
[ 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.

Got it. ...You think there's any point to this? I get that this island thing's never happened before but you seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders. In a year, you'd be able to tell if there's some connection.
[ Seth missed Richie who always came up with ideas, no matter how ridiculous or far fetched. It was better to have a clue than none at all but their comfort didn't seem to be in the interest of these gods who thrived on feelings. ]
no subject
Connection as in...like, the reason for moving here, over other places?
[He doesn't wait for confirmation, assuming that it is Seth's angle.]
I think the gods are linked to this place. I don't know how, but I know they're not so indecisive that they'd pick a new venue at random. They'd never do anything that didn't directly benefit them in some way. [There is a pause, and Nate frowns a little, looking at nothing in particular.] ...There used to be more of them until they were attacked, a long time ago. Stands to reason a bunch of them got killed or lost, maybe had to go into hiding. This might have been one of those places. A safe zone.
