[Video] From the Brave Police Hoosegow
[Those from Earth might be familiar with the old movie cliche of the prisoner rattling his cup back and forth over the bars of his cell. Whirl somehow also knows this cliche. And is doing it.]
[Except he's doing it with his face. ]
Nnnnnnngh. So fraggin' bored!!
Someone come kill me or something.
[Except he's doing it with his face. ]
Nnnnnnngh. So fraggin' bored!!
Someone come kill me or something.
[Action]
[One yellow optic clicks on, tracking the motion.]
...the frag you been?
[Action]
...but it's an eerieness that is familiar, at least. Slowly, he presses one hand against his helmet. Gunmax's speech is hard enough to decypher, but Whirl's is an entirely new language to him.]
Prima's temple.
I think.
[He shakes his head, and the hand drops.] Did something happen today? Something important?
[He keeps feeling like it did.]
[Action]
What the frag were you doing over there? Craning someone out of a fraggin' well?
You've been gone forever.
[Forever in Whirl time. ]
[Action]
[Something is definitely wrong.]
How long, Whirl?
How long exactly?
[Action] poke if this is too infomoddy?
[Seriously. What is with McCrane and precision.]
I don't fraggin' know. Something about Overlips torturing Shooty McLineface and then you run out all I'M GONNA BE THE LAW or whatever.
...fraggin' hungry.
[Action] OH GOD NO ITS HILLARIOUS
[Yes. Yes, that was exactly what it was. That was the important thing he'd forgotten! He was supposed to find Overlord...]
Where is he? Did the others make contact?
[Oh. Wait.]
You haven't been fed?
[Action]
[From what he could gather from the Link and his attentionspan.]
Do I look like I'm lying. [Look at him. Would this non-face lie to you?]
[Action]
[That is the most distressing part. Locating Overlord and engaging should have been a more pressing item.]
Is there a way to tell?
[Action]
[Because it would be not boring. Maybe.]
No. [Curses. Foiled again.]
But no one's fraggin' fed me in days.
[Action]
[It would better document any future memory-loss, as well.]
...
Then give me one moment.
[Because he's going to go and fetch one for you, immediately, which he'll slip through the bars.]
I should put a system in place for this, should I vanish again. I am...
I'm sorry.
[Action]
[Wheedling: Whirl style. McCrane was out having fun: Whirl was here, bored. Life: UNFAIR.]
[Hopefully McCrane doesn't stand much on manners: Whirl really is hungry, so he's going to snatch at the cube.]
Straw.
[McCrane he needs his special straw u r a terrible host.]
[Action]
[Because if he is around, perhaps Whirl will be less likely to engage in detrimental acts, himself.]
[Thankfully, he is prepared! A straw is handed forth.]
This was only meant to be temporary.
I could fill out some paperwork, and have you released.
[Action]
Rung calls them 'hasty' and 'ill-advised'. [Totally different!]
[Whirl snatches the straw. 'Bout time.]
Keeping it, this time.
Hnrgh. Paperwork. [Whirl hates paperwork.]
