soul_campaign | 1st | video | April 16th : Accidental post to all

[So when the video actually came on, it was evident that it came on completely by accident. It probably fell at some point and switched itself on while he was struggling. After all, Zagi decided to assault Aranea and not bother listening to any of the explanations about where the hell he was, what he was now, and especially what this communicator was. It must have fallen to the floor and activated on its own. The angle of the video was from the floor slightly to the side with partial view of this predicament. He was tied up with rope to a chair and he looked, quite frankly, really pissed off.]

Damn it....

[There was a little bit more struggling against those ropes, but to no avail. The room was dark and obviously in somebody's apartment. There was a bit more struggling before he just sort of slumped forward. Being able to get himself out of this would've been so easy if he had his weapons on him or if his prosthetic still had that blastia there. When that bastard got back...]

[Feel free to mock him. He got himself into this after all. He was obviously being kept alive and looked like a mess.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Luckily there will be no mocking from this one. Being a hero-type and all.]

Are you all right? [He doesn't appear to be injured...then again, the room was dark so it could be hard to tell...]

[He strained to look into that screen again.]

Do I LOOK all right to you?

I can't see if you're hurt in this lighting.

[If she made it a habit to check the other replies she might realize that she was better off not trying to deal with this. Then again, even if she saw she might still try...]

Do you know where you are?

[If only Zagi deserved somebody actually being genuinely concerned.]

I plan on getting out of this myself. I won't let him win...I WON'T!

[It doesn't look like you're succeeding. Is the first thought she has, but Aqua's never been the sort of person to blurt out the first thing on her mind so she didn't say it.]

Who are you talking about? And I can't in good conscience just leave you like this.

I can get out of this myself! I told you! And he's MY target! I don't need any help!

[Stubborn stubborn. The idea of having somebody help him was not a thing he could accept. He had to beat Saleh himself. After speaking with him earlier, he wanted to make him pay.]

I'm a member of the Watch, if someone is tying up random Guests, I need to know about it.

[Though when she squints, she finds that this person seems to match the description given in that anonymous post.]

And this isn't the kind of situation that you can get yourself out of. You're going to need help.

What the hell's the Watch?

[He narrowed his eyes at the screen.]

I CAN get out of this you know! It's just a stupid rope!

We're a city defence organization made up of Guest volunteers.

[She briefly went to check the other messages and yup, looks like this is the guy the anonymous post was talking about. Still...she can't just leave him like this.]

There's nothing wrong with asking other people for help.

You DO know who I am, right?

[Because the Watch sounded like the kind of guards he saw back in his own world and they were always annoying.]

I don't need help....especially from something like the Watch.

I know that an anonymous post went up a while ago implicating you in the attack of another Guest.

[And yet she is thinking about helping you anyway.]

You're going to have to accept help from someone. Unless you want to stay stuck in that chair.

I would've killed her too. She got away somehow though.

[he definitely sounded annoyed with this. The more he thought about it, the more Zagi just got irritated that he didn't get to finish what he started.]

Get lost. I'll kill you if you show up here.

Lucky for you you didn't.

[And her voice is noticeably colder when she speaks this time. The longer this discussion goes on for, the more she wants to just leave him there.]

And to kill me you'd have to be able to get out of that chair first.

[Zagi was quite the charmer as usual. In this case, it was working exactly the way he wanted it to.]

Oh I'll be out of this chair...WITHOUT your help!

Why are you being so stubborn about this?

Because I don't need help. Go away.

[Yes, Zagi. This proves how not stubborn you are.]

It doesn't look that way to me.

The ropes are LOOSENING! It's only a matter of time!

[She sighs.]

Fine. If you insist I'll leave you alone. If you change your mind, just... [She doesn't even know. It's not like you can write SOS on the communicator from there.]

If it'll make you go away faster. Who the hell am I supposed to call then? Who are you?

[He won't call, but he thought she would go away faster this way.]

[She considers not telling him, given everything, but she relents in the end. Because, really, what harm could it do?]

My name is Aqua.

[Not a good idea at all, but hey. We all make mistakes :|]

Well then, Aqua. This is Zagi. Remember that name for when I get out of here myself. Got it?

Well...good luck with that.

I don't need any luck.

[Feed cut off.]
