video - this is stupid

[knaval]

Uh-- is this working? Hello?

[the screen picture is perfectly showing riptide's panicked expression.]

I have absolutely no idea-- uh. My name is Riptide! I was with the crew of the Moira, but now I have no idea where I am. Crazy, right? I think I passed out? I have no idea. Anyway, this is a call for help! I've been approached by people and-- it's awful! I need an extraction immediately!

[he groans dramatically.]

They want me to get a job! [he was recommended to get a job.] A job! Like-- like being employed somewhere! Being paid to have responsibilities! I think one of them even said I can buy a-- a place to live?! I... I need to sit down. I have literally been tortured before and I've never, at this exact moment, been more uncomfortable in my entire life!

Why not?

Would you believe me if I said it's personal? No offence, but we're not exactly best friends. I figure you wouldn't care, if anything.

Yes, I would believe you. [He huffs a little. He's not unreasonable. But he is silent for a moment before he speaks again. Not condescending, not angry or anything. But even, trying to make a point.]

On the Lost Light, I started to care. I started trying to be nicer to you, and others on the crew. [And it seemed to be going okay, aside from maybe Getaway. He was even invited to drinks at the bar! By Bluestreak who turned out a traitor as well. But still.]

Having that eventually leading to my death, has made it had to trust people. Would you not feel the same the same way, if it happened to you?

Of course it would. You know I'll never forgive myself for what I did.
