canon is district 9, voice testing/rusty

[didnotknow]

I don't want to do this again. Listen, you always say you're going to do things with me, you talk about it, you open the file to start an application, and you...don't. I'm not insulted, not with these places you've looked into, but you don't have to do anything with me now.

Or ever, actually. Are we done yet?

It doesn't work like that. It'd be nice if it did. But it doesn't.

[didnotknow]

It's worked pretty well for me so far. What can you do with a half-prawn half-human like me anyway? Nothing. It's pointless.

[Keep thinking that, Wikus.]

[norussianplz]

The same thing you can do with a whole human. Or a—a whole prawn, I guess. I mean, what can those do?

[didnotknow]

[Oh no.]

They can...they can eat tires and, and...metal cans and whatever else, and they can be very violent and they...they've got their own special weapons that won't work for humans, and they can pilot all sorts of things just by using their, ah. DNA, or whatever you'd call it.

[...]

They can't speak, though. Not like humans speak.

[Which is one of the shittier parts of it, no lie.]

[norussianplz]

So they're...

[Okay, no. That doesn't sound like shrimp at all.]

You're not talking shrimp prawns, right? You're talking about, well...

[He has no idea.]

Another species? Different from any type we know, I mean.

[didnotknow]

No. No, not shrimp prawns. That's—they're aliens. They've been here—well, home, I guess—what feels like for-fook-in' ever. People call them prawns because...derogatory, being compared to them. The shrimpy ones.

[Does he need to do a tentacle gesture?]

Ah hell yes, Wikus!

[virulently]

You should be thankful they're not doing anything with you. If it's not the place you're being sent to that's horrible, then it's what they plan on doing with you that is.

Of course you could always get both.

\o/!

[didnotknow]

Yeah, thanks. Thanks for the reassurance of what happens when you end up in a place. Or places. Very comforting.

Serious, District 9 is like one of my fav movies

[virulently]

Best to just keep quiet. Out of sight, out of mind. Writers are a sadistic bunch that enjoy putting us through hell. Mines not quite done with me yet, and what I have been through in the past, heh, I've got more coming.
