First Scare | Video

[shadowbound]

[The video feed comes to life, revealing one of the cabins. Limited light filters in from the window, drapes pulled closed, but a single candle lit up the desk in which a figure sat at.

The flame flickers, revealing a man's face, highlighting his displeased face. With his lips pursed, silver eyes narrow at the video feed, which changed to gold whenever the light from the candle shone in their direction.

Those eyes roll in their sockets, and the man looks away, his face enveloped in shadows once more.]

This is ridiculous. [He mutters into the darkness, exhaling heavily through his nostrils.]

Reduced to nothing but almost a mere mortal. [The spirit lifts his hand, his eyes concentrating on it. But for the nth time, nothing came. His hand shook and the side of his fist slams onto the desk.]

Locked up like some criminal. Unacceptable. This is no place for me. [His hand soon rests on his face, running down the front of it, pulling at skin.]

What am I even talking about; no one will hear me on this thing. Why even bother?

Nah, they'll totally hear you. Hello, then. I'm Megamind, a warden, and you are obviously a new inmate. Welcome to the Good Ship Redemption, otherwise known as the 'barge'.

Guessing nobody's filled you in, huh?

[worldofviolentlyinsane]

I'm guessing video cameras aren't your strong suit.

[Hey, Pitch. Meet Guerrero. He's watching you from some anonymous common room somewhere, slouched back in his seat and kind of dryly amused.]

[mistconduct]

Shit sucks, New Meat, what can I say?

Though calm your fucking jets on the whole mere mortal bit. Some of us mortals could kick your scrawny ass.

[Well this guy looks like a happy camper. Also, clearly an inmate. Awesome.

Which means naturally that Dean is obligated to chime in even if he hadn't heard a certain key phrase that demands his attention.]

Mortal, huh? Them's the breaks.

[with_my_teacup]

No no, this isn't how criminals get treated. Criminals get treated so much worse pretty much anywhere.

Tried your door yet?

[Here's a guy who looks way too happy to see the embodiment of fear and darkness.]

Pardon me, but I couldn't help but overhear mentions of spirits, guardians, and that you are the, or a bogeyman. Strange that a being such as yourself would be brought to a barge inhabited by uncommon criminals. You can't be all that culpable when you're merely performing your given function.

[He clears his throat.] But that's something to discuss at a later date. Right now, I suggest a look at the deck. I'd be willing to conduct a tour, if you like?

[Hello fellow semi-immortal. Claire goes for compliments, offering up a small, sweet smile.] I like your eyes, they're really pretty. I know pretty's not a very masculine word but I feel like gorgeous is laying it on a bit much for us having never met before.

[Which is good a time as any to do the introductions thing.] My name's Claire.

[secretasshole]

Have the others answered your questions satisfactorily?

Well, that's strange. I can hear you loud and clear. It's almost like the communicators were built to help us communicate or something.

[ Don't mind her, she's in trolling mode. ]
