Brand New (OTA) [video]

[Brand has been kidnapped, disarmed, and tortured with bad slide shows, electric shocks, and small talk. Today can officially get fucked. At least fallout from the fucking "Go-Away bombs" hasn't suppressed his bond to Rune -- he can feel him just fine, even if he's not entirely sure what to make about the emotions he's getting. But that can be resolved and soon as he fucking finds Rune, which would be easier if he had any fucking idea of where to start.

The sensor in front of the Mess only gets a scowl, and Brand stalks off to find another place to hole up and try and get in touch with Rune. It doesn't take him long to find something that looks like a corporate break room threw up on itself.

When an unfamiliar face appears on the network, it's wearing a near-homicidal expression, because that's just how Brand looks when he doesn't fucking know where Rune is.]


Where the [BEEP] is Rune Saint John?

Is either your world or the second world you were in as welcoming and friendly as this one?

The first world is my world so... no? I don’t know. It’s hard to judge it as “friendly” or not when it’s what you grew up with. I think Earth’s okay. It’s crazy, but everywhere’s crazy.

The second is definitely not like this one. Maybe some planets or in the past, but not where and when I landed. This place isn’t in the same galaxy.

[ In the interest of fairness to all worlds, Robbie will differentiate between them more clearly. ]

I don’t think the second world is was that impressed with mine, but they think bubble baths are barbaric so it’s not like they’ve got refined tastes.

Still this place sounds like a downgrade.

For some people that downgrade is pretty bad.

I'm the last person who should be arguing this when I'm not exactly a people person myself...

[He has had his bouts of being outright evil, but he's starting to un-entrench himself from that thinking. He's been told he evolved past it, even if he can't remember that.]

But sometimes people just need empathy. They need people being comforting.
