Unit 1 - Video

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face. Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's guessing he's alive.]

Oh so that button is the same...[Oh. Right. Broadcasting. He clears his throat]

I suppose I should go out on a limb and assume that this was not where I was supposed to end up. For one thing, I've been to most of the planets that like to emulate Lost Jerusalem and this does not look at all familiar. Would someone be kind enough to tell me what is going on here? Or at least where this place is? I have to admit I am a little lost.

[Gaignun. He hates you so much right now. He hates you because he can't find himself to come back with a retort to his words without being wrong, or foolish.]

... [For a moment, he looks away once again. Just hating the fact that Gaignun was absolutely right. There was no way that all of them could be saved. Not when Yuriev was still alive, and in Gaignun's body no less.] I believe you.

Good, I forbid you from beating yourself up about this any longer. [He means this Jr.]

We're all here now, let's just enjoy it. Okay? [He is very sure to keep any note of pleading out of this. Right now he just wants everyone to get along and be on semi ok terms while they have this stolen time.]

Yeah yeah... I hear ya. [For once in his life, Jr. actually takes Gaignun seriously this time. That, and he doesn't want to hear Gaignun talk about how Jr. shouldn't have a martyr-complex anymore.]

Fine. But if I see our idiot father, I'm not going easy on him.

Why do you sound like I would actually protest this? I killed the man. Twice. However I hope he doesn't show up, who ever runs this place can not be that cruel.

[Gaignun glances down at the floor. He never wants to hear Yuriev's chilling voice ever again. He's had enough of that thank you very much.]

Do I sound like that? I meant to sound like "I have first dibs" if we see him. [Not that Jr. wants him to be here either. Not after all the shit he put them through...]

[That manages to get Gaignun to laugh a bit.] I suppose I could give you a turn. You are the oldest and maybe you've earned that privilege. Just leave enough for the rest of us.

No way! He's mine. [FIGHTING OVER THE RIGHT TO BEAT UP THEIR FATHER... Ah yes.]

[Hey, whatever works to cheer up the little derp-face] Now hold on! We're all angry at him! It's only fair that we all get a shot!

[And there's his teasing smile again.]

Fine. One shot, and that's it.

[Ah yes. He utterly missed these kinds of interactions with his brothers.] I still got a grudge against the old man, and I'm not letting him near any of you again.

Well fine then, I guess I'll have to take what I can get. [He missed it too Jr., you have no idea how much. Now he gets to boss around both of you again! Joy!]

It's hard not to hold a grudge against him. He almost destroyed the universe.

[GRRINNNNN. Childish grin, of course. Like a kid getting a gift for his birthday.]

We went through hell and back because of that man. I'll be happy not to see him at all.

[And there is the Jr. he likes to see. Happy brothers are always a relief.]

Same. Even though it would be satisfying to see him powerless in a place like this.

Agreed. That guy deserves the biggest beatdown of his life... [And when Jr. gives a beat down, you know that it's going to be a legit beatdown.]

[Full Throttle/Dragonfly. Best boot to the head combination. It's how Dmitri should be KO'ed.]

As many times as can be administered. Normally I would tell you not to be so bloody minded, but I don't think I care this time.

[Fuck Yeah. Older brother agrees.]

I think I would have to knock you to your senses if you cared.

I may be a bit rattled from all of this, but not that rattled thank you very much. Still, don't get into too much of a fight, apparently we're all human now.

[Aaaaand lecture mode activate. He can only keep it suppressed for so long.]

Hey. Just because we're human, doesn't mean I still can't take hits. [Grinning like a child, indeed. It's what he does best.] Besides, what kind of brother would I be if I didn't protect you guys.

Yes but you're a little too used to taking advantage of being a bit more sturdy so no stupid stunts. I mean it.

You're a good brother Jr., but you make me worry so.

Stupid stunts are my specialty, Gaignun. [He only jokes, of course. Enjoying the company of his stupid brother since, as long as they were here, he wouldn't have to lose Gaignun. Or anyone else for that matter.]

Worry? You got nothin to worry about! I'll be fine.

Look, all I'm saying is don't get yourself into a situation where your big mouth or your guns can't get you out again. [He teasingly wags his finger in mock admonishment.]

As long as you keep that in mind, I won't worry about you so much.

You lookin' for someone to bite that finger off your hand? [Speaking of mocking...]

Okay okay! Don't worry about it, jeez. You sound like I always get in trouble.

See? This is what I'm talking about. And you do get into a lot of trouble. [He sighs and relaxes a bit.]

I know you'll be fine whatever happens, you'll just have to forgive an old man and his habits.

Old man? Now you're starting to sound like Ziggy. [Look at that. Brotherly love again. All is well.]

Like I told MOMO, that isn't so bad. Ziggy is quite wise when one actually listens to him. [Like a certain older brother really should once in a while!]

Speaking of MOMO, she seems well. She's very glad you're here.

What are you implying? [Are you mocking him again, Gaignun? You know he doesn't like that. Pout.]

Yeah... [The pout he has on his face is lifted into a smile.] I'm glad she's here, too.
