[takesitfromtherear]

[The camera shows nothing but pavement, the edge of some wet fingers, and the ends of a really flashy red cape, fabric worn and water-heavy, trailing on the ground. Oh, and an adorable little white rabbit chomping down on the end of that cape.]


I don't get it. I don't freakin' get it at all. What--

OI!


[Suddenly the camera jerks and... goes flying. Seems Kamina, not knowing what it was, tossed it over his shoulder. It clatters against the coral, still recording for a few moments.]


Oi, lil' punk! Come here. I'll friggin' teach you to attack a guy from the rear when he ain't lookin'.


[Kamina dives for the rabbit, trying to catch it, and then the feed cuts.]

Comments

video -> action.

[longwinded]

[Okay so assuming that he means by the huge coral thing. He abruptly ends the call.]

So what if I am just a kid? [YEAH HE TOTALLY SHOUTED THAT.] I can face you either way!

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

[Totally going to spin around in the direction the shouting is coming from, grinning at him.]

If you can yell like that, you're a man. Facing any obstacle in his way and breaking through it, that's a man's way.

action.

[longwinded]

[Well. Then. Is this the dude that he was yelling after.]

Well, I yell when I need to feel MANLY! [...are those dumb anime shades?]

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

[And a dumb anime cape.]

Right, I like that attitude. What's your name, kid?

action.

[longwinded]

[Oh dear jesus, you are everything Dave's Bro likes.]

My manly attitude. The name is John Egbert. [Hrk.] Who're you anyways?

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

[Lies. He is not a rainbow pony.

Brb dramatic posing.]

The leader of the Dai-Gurren Brigade, the man who will kick all the beastmen punks off the surface, [point to the sky.] the great Kamina-sama.

action.

[longwinded]

Kamina, huh.

[. . . . NICE POSE.] Beastmen? Who are they?

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

[It makes his words a thousand times cooler.]

Furry lil' bastards that think they can keep us locked away underground and the fiery magma in our hands from bursting out to the surface.

action.

[longwinded]

Well, I guess that sounds a little better than fighting Denziens and Imps. Imps are a pain, really. They annoy the living hell out of me.

[John might be trying to pose cool in the mirror, Dave will make fun of him...sdfkjksjdf sob.]

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

[Kamina will give him tips.]

Hehe. Your imps and my beastmen sound the same. Just lil' pain in the ass punks.

action.

[longwinded]

[oh he might swoon kamina-sama!]

Eh. Then when you get into the Medium. Shit really hits the fan. But that's nothing too! Just gotta know how to play. [Yes, really, John is the omst manly. Screw Dave!]

Re: action.

[takesitfromtherear]

Right. That sounds like the right spirit.

[Even if he doesn't understand anything. WTF is a medium?]

action.

[longwinded]

[Something that would turn into a TOO LONG DON'T READ. More than likely! So no questions.]

Oh, yeah. So. Welcome to Vatheon.

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

Thanks, but I don't need your welcome. I ain't staying here.

action.

[longwinded]

You aren't?

[. . .he's listening.]

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

I got important shit to do back home, so I'm leaving.

action.

[longwinded]

I want to leave too.

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

Then leave! They can't keep us here!

action.

[longwinded]

You'll drown, or be prevented. I've heard there's no way to leave.

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

Then fight! And keep fighting until they let us go.

action.

[longwinded]

How do you fight a power this strong?

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

Don't let little stuff like that hold you back. You attack and you attack and you keep attacking until it stop coming after you.

action.

[longwinded]

Seems a little barbaric if you ask me.

action.

[takesitfromtherear]

Sometimes you gotta fight. Not cause you like it but cause you got something you believe in. Else you're just a coward waiting for other people to fix your problems for you.

action.

[longwinded]

Then let's fight to get out of here. We can form some badass rouge group here, and fight for our freedom.
