☣ 5th Clone [Accidental Video]

[49th_indigo_czar]

-and so you're certain they are ready. Lord knows I've been waiting long enough for you to pull your finger out and get a move on. Its rather annoying, leaving me to wait as much as you have. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have you disposed of? Actually, on second thoughts don't, I couldn't care less.

[Ukyou had his NV hanging down his back as it swayed on the pendent, facing the mirror directly behind him. It must have been knocked on as the self proclaimed Emperor hadn't the slightest idea that he was being filmed in the mirrors reflection. He appeared to be talking on a phone, peeping out of the window.

A guard was seen ushering in two robots. Both a few feet taller than the average human adult male and both heavily armed.]

Ah yes they've just been delivered now.

[Hanging up and turning to look at the robots with a look of disgust on his face.]

I've always hated machinery. Yuck. Yes, yes very impressive and all that. Take them away- or, better yet...

[Ukyou pressed a button on a nearby remote, this in turn opened a secret compartment in the wall. There in the darkness of the chamber was a chained and caged darkness monster, and chained out of arms reach from that was a slave.]

See how they fair up in there. Give the man some weapons to make it fair.

[Waving a hand as a servant set a few guns and a mechanical sword at the slaves feet. Ukyou then wandered off. Still he was filming everything from behind him until he reached a 'viewing room' above the other chamber, much like a Roman colosseum, only smaller.]

If they survive this, have the money wired over and start the mass production at once.

02 - Voice

[un_fated]

[The male voice is rough, faintly irritated. There is no video.]

I'm looking for someone who can make something like this. Attaches to a long pole, can be used as a weapon. To be made for a girl, fairly small. I'll pay what it's worth.

[A long hesitation, and he flicks an option that will lock out a certain priestess from the rest of the message.]

How do you keep an eye on someone who has no idea what this place is like? And generally stumbles into trouble to boot?

[summing_it_up]

[And here's Hiccup, sleeves rolled up and everything, while he absentmindedly grabs a large plate from the ever-growing pile of dishes sitting next to him.

It looks like he was testing things out a little earlier, but he eventually grins lopsidedly at the screen.]

Uh. Hey guys! How's it going? I know - it's been a while. But I found some work. If anyone cares, that is. [He takes a moment to eye the dish he's still holding.] It's...not the best, to be honest, but it's something! But I was wondering-

[The pile of plates shift as more is added onto it, causing the scrawny Viking to throw himself against the side he faces, waiting until it settles before he speaks again.]

That was close. [To be safe, he takes another plate from the top.] Um. As I was saying - I was wondering, since I just got here about a month ago, if anyone knew or had any connections with- [The casual wave of the plate proves to be too much as ceramic clunks, hitting the device.] aw no-

[Blurring happens. The rock NV is submerged in murky, soapy water. Sound becomes muffled and enclosed as a faint yelp is heard. A quick thrashing past multiple plates and utensils and a blur of a hand grabs onto it, resurfacing to show Hiccup, now all squiggly and ripply due to the accidental dunk in the dish water, breathe a sigh.]

...Yeah! Anyway. Short version of this is the options in housing. A better place to stay would be great. Any place. Just in case.
