v-voicetesting ;; mildly entertaining the idea of some places

[godreallyhatesme]

Calm your tits, try-hard, you haven't even gotten all the way through the campaigns yet, and you're already thinking of new, mutant infested shitholes to send me into? If this is the way you express fondness, I'd hate to see the body count your love life leaves.

When you get around to settling on which place you want to use to re-ruin my freaking life, let me know. Apparently I'll be around.

[No Sherry's not going to be over here snickering]

aw, don't like the action? So unlike your father then. [Though hey that's a good thing.]

[godreallyhatesme]

[ he hears that and he's giving a snort and a headshake at it. you're lucky he sort of secretly is fond of you kind of ]

Yeah, well, think I'm gonna be disappointing the old man in not taking up the family business if no one minds.

Don't get me wrong - action's fine, and I've slept in worse places than a rusted up cargo ship, but I'm usually getting paid for it.

[dreyrugr_barneska]

[She notes it]

Good the old bastard needs disappointment in his old age.

Yeah, good luck finding decent paying jobs when you're attached to a mun. They need to work on that.

[godreallyhatesme]

Right. 'Cause that's apparently what it is at one of these places - old age, not old death. [ He has some mixed feelings about this whole Dad being alive thing that he is Not Talking About rn ]

I'd settle for paying at all at this point.

[dreyrugr_barneska]

Yeah... well he's hard to keep down anyway. [Sherry pauses a moment.]

Hey! It's not my fault you didn't get paid on that job. My boss lied to both of us.

[godreallyhatesme]

Guess we got that in common.

[ a short laugh and he shakes his head ] Nah, I got my 50 bucks. Barely even covered a few days of food, but I got it.

[piously]

Maybe if she paid you, you wouldn't have anything to complain about.

[ Seriously, just. Everything that comes out of your mouth, Jake Muller. 8| ]

[godreallyhatesme]

Well hey, you finally learned the definition of 'mercenary'. Maybe Jarheads do have more than two brain cells to rub together. Will wonders never cease?

[ :> don't hate him cause he's flawless and knows kung fu ]

[piously]

[ 8| ]

The real wonder will be if you ever learn to keep your mouth shut.

[ Yeah, sure. Whatever helps him sleep better at night. 8| ]

[godreallyhatesme]

No one asked you to pipe up, boyscout.

[ Kanye shrug. Keep walking, precious, he wasn't getting all up in your bis ]

[piously]

That hasn't stopped you before.

[ Alright, alright, he's done. Bitterness over the puppy joke and jarhead comments aside for now. ]

Look-- [ this ain't easy for him 8| ] If you go to that ship, Captain isn't going to let anything happen to you if he can put a stop to it. One less thing you have to worry about.

[ He's trying to offer some reassurance, maybe a little comfort. But that's the best he's got, dude. ]

[godreallyhatesme]

...Is this supposed to be you comforting me?

[ Wow, hear Jake crack the fuck up. Chris, protecting him. Yeah. Okay. ]

Yeah. The guy who shot my dad looking to save my ass from the spooky horror boat shit. Sounds like a party.

[ Shaking his head in a sort of incredulous disbelief. ] Not sure if you've noticed, but I can take care of myself already, thanks.

[tobeagod]

Another one. What it is about this rusted hulk of a haunted ship that draws victims in?

Sheva will most likely be pleased for more sheep to herd.

[godreallyhatesme]

I don't herd well. And I'm shit at playing victim. I end up killing too many people to really be convincing. My bad.

[tobeagod]

Such bragging. Does that make you feel more impressive when you are not?

[godreallyhatesme]

[ le shrug ] I dunno, does wearing sunglasses that look like they were sapped outta the 90s make you feel less like you're having a mid-life crisis?

[tobeagod]

It was the fashion when I died.

Do keep your better thoughts in place here on the Charon. I imagine Sheva will be recruiting any assistance she can gain as soon as possible.

[godreallyhatesme]

You died in the 90s? Man, shitty way to see the world before you go.

My better thoughts in place? The hell is that supposed to mean? And I'm not a charity worker, so here's hoping Sheva's paying.

[tobeagod]

[Wesker does not engage in arguments with lesser creatures, especially on the subject of his clothing.]

It means that this place will destroy you mentally and emotionally if it can. Imagine your worst moments being played over and over for yourself and others to re-live.

[godreallyhatesme]

[ Image consultants are hardly lesser creatures.

And while that's... concerning... he's not about to let it show. ]

I lived through my worst memories already. Hardly that scary if I already know how they end.

[tobeagod]

[That unkindly cold smile rises again, a flicker of red from behind his sunglasses.]

Then you are unimaginative, and this ship will most likely tear your psyche apart. There are few things as interesting to watch than the base deluded breaking down.

[adapter]

[.... Jake..............]

I guess they just figure we're more prepared than others for those types of places.

[godreallyhatesme]

[ yo, supergirl ]

I'm prepared for streaking through warzones with nothing but a butterknife, but you don't see me doing that for fun.

[adapter]

[Yo!]

Yeah, well, they do it for fun. We're sorta' trapped whether we like it or not.

[She doesn't sound too thrilled about things, either... even if she's used to being a pawn being shoved around. Life issues, y'know?]

At least the memes I've been thrown into aren't... [oh god wait i retract this comment----] R-rated.

[God that would be a nightmare. She shudders at the thought.

Yeah no, she's not a fan of some options.]

[godreallyhatesme]

[ Sup, boo, how you livin' ]

Not really something that's stopped us before.

[ Though he's somehow doubting shooting their way out of mun control is really going to work here. ]

Yeaaah, those ones. [ He hasn't really had anything R-rated yet, per say, but... ] I've got-- [ Piers Nivans macking on me in one. Yeah, no, he's not about to tell Sherry that. Ahem, clearing his throat and moving on. ] --more issues with that crap than I can really count right now. Or any of this.

Is what it is, though. From one shithole to the next, huh?

[adapter]

[Been keeping the man down, bro.]

From one--shithole to the next.

[Look at how you're influencing me. Look at that.

Leon and Claire's heads will explode.

But no, she doesn't even want to think about what your mun's doing with you, because oh mother of god, why—she'd go into shock for a full winter's time.]

This one does have less monsters to deal with... and less pay. [s m i l e] Win some, lose some, right?

[godreallyhatesme]

[ Fight the power, gurlfrond. We're not a part of their system.

A little smirk for that. He's so proud. Leon and Claire can eat it. ] Atta girl.

[ You'd get a headpat if he did that kind of stuff ever. ]

Here less monsters, yeah. Where I might be headed, probably not. [ It's either horror cruise or world that's globally overrun but zombies for him. Still unsure if that's worse or better than making out with Piers. ] But hey, it's tireless work being the savior of humanity. [ Kanye shrug. It's not his fault he's so flawless that he has to go fight all the good fights apparently. ]

[adapter]

Your mun's really going to send you then.

[She's clearly worried at the thought, sue her.

INTENSE WORRY STARE GO.]

... How bad does it look there?

[godreallyhatesme]

Eh. [ A lame kind of shrug. Ugh, that worry stare kills him and he's not about to give her reason to mom face him anymore, so this is as casual as he can make it. ] Seen worse. Not by much, but seen worse.

[ If you don't count Silent freaking Hill and whatever the fuck that sea monster was, yeah, sure. And technically he did see Haos, and that seemed worse than a lot of things. Maybe. ]

I'll live. Always do.

[partnerinheels]

I hate to break it to you, but the ship doesn't have any apples.

[Don't worry, she has no plans to herd anyone. Though, it would be nice if Jake were on her side rather than his dear ol' dad's.]

We could use the extra hand though.

[godreallyhatesme]

I'll live. Somehow.

[ He's been worse places than Charon ]

You make it sound like I'm volunteering for the local neighborhood watch. I'm not offering hands.

[partnerinheels]

You never know when management will decide to treat us with fresh food.

[So has she, but that doesn't mean it's not a nasty piece of work.]

And why not? It's self preservation too.

[godreallyhatesme]

Is that supposed to make me feel better? Goodie.

I do self-preservation better on my own. [ Shut up, Jake, you know you'd be attached to Sherry at the hip if she were there ]

[abandonedlegacy]

Good luck with all of that.

At least if you end up on that shithole of a ship I can stop worrying about my mun tossing me there, and she can focus on actually sending Redfield's puppy like she says she is.

[godreallyhatesme]

Yeah because hanging out on a rust bucket in the middle of buttfuck nowhere with my, our, psycho old man and some over-excitable jarhead is just my idea of a good time.

I'm not your scapegoat, asshole. [ calling yourself an asshole is a little bizarre and he's not sure if he should be insulting by... himself... ]

[abandonedlegacy]

Beats the shithole early Seattle's turning out to be. At least you'll only have one jarhead to start with. I got dumped in with both of them, our old man, and Kennedy--it's a big fucking party over here.


I can't exactly get away with calling myself a scapegoat now can I?

[notzombiebait]

Dunno which is worse, getting sent to one of those shitholes or being stuck in limbo with no plans for the future.

[ Chris doesn't like being idle. ]

[godreallyhatesme]

[ ew hi chris ]

You would be the busybody type, wouldn't you?

[notzombiebait]

Something like that.

There's some quote about idle minds that applies here.

[godreallyhatesme]

...Pretty sure that's not the phrase, man. But nice try. [ Not that he... actually knows the correct version. ]
