Hey, Audentes!

[Remember this face? No? That's fine, she only remembered the name "Audentes" from all the outside ALASTAIR gossip to begin with. Lilith, making a beeline through a line of other recruits to the teleportation pads, waves one-handed at the camera.]

Nice job fucking up Zymandis' shit, I guess. You really should've blown more of the ship up, t-b-h, but hey, what can you do? [Shrug.] Before I get off track 'cause of explosions, though, I've got a very important question:

What has nobody called dibs on it yet? On the mothership, I mean.

[A passing elven recruit from another team casts her a dirty look in the corner of the feed--] --Oh, come on, you guys kept the friggin' thing AND all the people in it, what're we supposed to do, put the ship in a museum? If we're gonna be wiping Zymandis out, we need all the help we can get. Know what we call that? The spoils of war, kiddies. And the Zymandis armory-- if there is one-- is gonna be some sweet spoils indeed.

Anything corrosive or incendiary's mine, by the way. Calling 'em now. Doubt it'll be Maliwan-quality, but...

[Oh. It's her again.]

No one's keeping you from going on the ship.

[cashlin]

[it's heeeeeeeeer.]

Duh. I just don't know if anybody's claimed any shit already. You think I wanna start a fight with somebody who called something fair and square? I might be a Vault Hunter, but I'm one with standards.

[secondnature]

I don't even know what a Vault Hunter is. [There is about a fifty percent chance that either Rhys or Fiona has mentioned the term before, and he just didn't pay attention. Because Keith.]

If someone's claiming weapons, they're probably gonna take them. There are too many people here to risk it.

So. Just go get your stuff.

[cashlin]

Ugh. Nobody ever does. [huff!!! at least fi, rhys, and vaughn CARED!] I'm a treasure and bounty hunter, goin' for a very specific kind of very big treasure-slash-bounty but grabbing the small fry on my way there.

You really know how to suck the fun out of a girl's day, don't you, Red?

[secondnature]

Call me Keith.

["Red" ... the sore spot is still sore. He feels a little foolish for this username.]

If you want to have fun, don't ask a question with a simple answer.

[cashlin]

Keith, then.

[At least she's considerate.]

I mean generally. You're wound the hell up every time I talk to you, and the last time I was on this team was... what, months ago? What's with you?

[secondnature]

Do you really need me to explain what we're doing again? It's not all fun and games.

[cashlin]

That doesn't mean you can't have fun while you're doing it, does it?

[secondnature]

Or we just have different ideas of what is "fun."

[cashlin]

As in you don't have it? Sounds about right.

[secondnature]

I have fun! I just don't pretend that I'm making someone's life hard by ... whatever it is you do.

[bestaround]

We were stuck on that ship forever, you know—I'll bet the more valuable resources have already been nabbed up.

[cashlin]

And they dropped me back in late to that party?! What the hell?!

[SHE'S SO MAD.]

[bestaround]

Yyyep. About two weeks too late, in fact.

[cashlin]

[DRAMATIC DISAPPOINTED GROANING]

[bestaround]

—Whoa, easy there. You could always go find out what's left.

[cashlin]

You think the best shit'll even be there still? No way!

Ugh. Can't believe this. I mean, I'm still going, but this sucks!

[bestaround]

Wow, you're really let down about this, huh. What kind of weapons were you hoping to find, anyway?

[cashlin]

My universe is a lot more technologically advanced than the crap I got stuck with when I was last assigned to this team. Guns're guns, of course, but I was hoping for some of the nice stuff with elemental after-effects tied to 'em.

[rosegroomed]

I don't see the value in the ship itself, though the weaponry could be of use. If this is some kind of war, the only fair thing would be to gracefully appropriate their resources.

[cashlin]

Appopriating's nicer'n I would've used, but yeah, let's go with that.

Metal's metal, buddy. Where I'm from we woulda salvaged it too, but we're luckily not quite as hard up in that department here.

[rosegroomed]

Metal's metal: it's useless unless you actually use it for something. Or else it's just dead weight. That's common sense...mm, do you think we could use it for swords? Or guns, whatever, but swords would be more efficient.

[cashlin]

What is with you guys and swords? [guh] You ever hear about not bringing a knife to a gunfight?

[rosegroomed]

It's not a knife; it's a sword--and plenty effective in its own right. I'm just not cowardly enough to stoop to guns.

[cachemoney]

It's all laser weapons. Dumb.

[cashlin]

[MORE DRAMATIC WHINING]

Come on! What gives?!

[cachemoney]

I guess it's more sci-fi?

[cashlin]

Well... it's not like lasers aren't cool, but what's a girl gotta do to get some bullets around here?

By the way. Good to see you still kickin' around here, Fiona. Are the other two are still hanging around?

[cachemoney]

The other two -- Rhys and Vaughn? Well, they're not dead. Not for lack of trying.

[cashlin]

Hey, a win's a win. Let's hope they stay alive through this last bit. I know I'm excited to finally see some action on this team.

[cachemoney]

What kind of stuff do you do with your new team? Is it as big of a party as Audentes?

[cashlin]

It's actually a party. Caves of monsters, actually spending my ammo on shit that counts-- the works. One of the worlds we got sent to was a lot like Pandora, actually; made me feel right at home.

[cachemoney]

We had one of those right before you rifted in. More like Lynchwood than Hollowpoint, but it was still nice to be somewhere familiar.

[catphishing]

We wouldn't have had any weapons for you to take if we'd blown it up.

[cashlin]

Loot that shiz before you blow it up. Problem solved.

[catphishing]

I still like the way we don't murder people unnecessarily better.

[Do you not know what your canon is, Oliver?]

[cashlin]

Suit yourself. I'm just sayin': sometimes, it's practical.
