024 VOICE LIST ELEVEN

[deadliestviper]

[Private to Friends (if you think you're on here you probably are)]
This should come as no surprise to anyone. I'm going to kill this fucker.

This is not the time to lecture me on morality. If you want to help me, do.

[mistconduct]

Kick his ass for me.

[deadliestviper]

There won't be anything left of his ass by the time I'm done.

Right now I'm thinking of pulling off a few teeth and digits, maybe followed by a nice blood eagle.

[mistconduct]

The fuck is a blood eagle.

[deadliestviper]

Cut through the ribs down the victim's back. Break them and pull them out of the wound. Rub salt in. Pull out lungs, then admire.

[mistconduct]

[Despite his current circumstances, Chris gives a wheezy laugh]

For fuck's sake.

[deadliestviper]

Yeah, you're right. Crucifixion would last much longer.

[mistconduct]

Easter's coming up.

[deadliestviper]

Then it must be fate.

[mistconduct]

Damn, girl, you're crazy.

[deadliestviper]

No. I'm angry.

[mistconduct]

So am I.

Also I think there's heat rash under my armpits right now.

Have you ever had heat rash?

It fucking sucks.

[deadliestviper]

Put some A&D ointment on it.

[mistconduct]

I will when I get out. Thanks.

[deadliestviper]

What are you in for?

[mistconduct]

Throwing a punch at a warden.

[Private]

[routemistress]

Not if I get there first, and by that I don't mean I'm planning on stopping you, Bea love.

You got any thoughts on who we're lookin' for yet?

Private.

[an_abomination]

Bea, you have to be careful. If you try anything violent or maybe even think about it too much, you'll be automatically sent to Zero.

[deadliestviper]

Did you hit him?

[Private]

[deadliestviper]

No. Considering the Admiral frequently trumps gods I assume we're looking for someone with an extreme amount of power at their disposal. Loki would be the obvious choice if he hadn't been effectively neutered and wasn't making such an obvious attempt to fill the power vacuum.

[mistconduct]

Her? Nope.

Private.

[deadliestviper]

I'll be in Zero soon anyway. I intend to earn it.

[deadliestviper]

Wow. Way to quell the threat to society, Admiral.

[mistconduct]

Yeah, I'm a regular fucking anarchist.

....

[That telltale silence is him wondering whether it's too late to change his supervillain name to Anar-Chris]

[deadliestviper]

Funny, isn't it? Lock up the protesters, let the really bad motherfuckers roam free. How can someone be so powerful and still so fucking stupid?

[mistconduct]

I wish I fucking knew. That's who I'd want to apprentice under. Someone who could teach how to give power but still be fucking dumb enough to be overthrown.

[deadliestviper]

Trust me, you'd learn nothing from this person but the fine art of utter uselessness.

[mistconduct]

And also how a blood eagle's done.

Private

[with_my_teacup]

Not morality, practicality. Ain't gonna do anything, whatever SOB ex warden it is. They're looking to die.

[ Private ]

[warisart]

Beatrix.

[That's all he can think to say. Her name. She's talking suicide, in his experience, and she's talking sense, also in his experience.]

[darknessb4me]

Found him?

Private

[deadliestviper]

The way I'm planning? I doubt it.

[ Private ]

[deadliestviper]

Ben. Are you okay?

[ Private ]

[warisart]

I'm doing better than most I think. This is...

Manticore taught me how to survive this. I am trying to show others.

[Quietly. Where he isn't drawing attention to himself because Attention Is Bad.]

Are you?

[deadliestviper]

Still looking.

[ Private ]

[deadliestviper]

Then you're one of very few.

I've had better days but I'll survive. Don't worry about it.

[ Private ]

[warisart]

It is one of the very, very few ways I could be considered lucky.

How can I not?

Private

[with_my_teacup]

They're brainfucked, you think they'll even notice? It won't do you any good, it'll just keep you here longer for more shit like this to happen.

Private.

[an_abomination]

You don't know that. Trust me, I've been tempted to do things that would send me to Zero, but I've managed to hold off. We need to be out here to figure out what's going on.
