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!

[It's so not okay. It's not even remotely okay. But he's also not going to let go, either. Just press himself in closer.]

[This could go on for a while, sorry, Riptide.]

[knaval]

Take your time, Sideswipe. I just need to ask you something when you're done.

[redshitlord]

[It's gonna be a while.]

[He'll nod, eventually, though, peering up at him. What's up big boy?]

[knaval]

I spoke with Magnus. I want you to come with me and him and we're going to talk about how you two treat each other.

[redshitlord]

...

You'll be there?

[Wow, he really doesn't want to. But-- if Riptide isn't going to make him go alone, then...]

[knaval]

Yeah, I'll be there too. There's stuff you both need to hear.

[redshitlord]

Okay.

If you're there... okay.
