[ There's a zoom in of orange-red before it moves back to resolve itself into a long-haired man with an eyepatch on his right eye, an unlit cigarette perched on his lips. He sounds slightly agitated when he speaks. ]

Let me get this straight. I got straight up magicked or whatever here to play hero? Didn't ask for this but here we are. If it wasn't for th' fact that I was kinda in mortal-fucking-danger a few minutes before and suddenly not, I'm gonna guess this ain't a hallucination. Feels solid enough.

Anyone want to give me pointers?

[ He seems to be taking this well... Is it suppressed? Is it because he's been through a lot before this? Who can say?

There's a deep sigh. ]

So yeah, before we get to the good shit and someone gives me the cliff-notes...Anyone got a lighter?

Oh, look who's here. My pointer is to run right into more danger here.

[ There is an expression on Badou's face that he is none too pleased to see Giovanni. It is an expression that speaks volumes. ]

No thanks, I'll pass. Thanks fer caring y'psycho.

[ Ok, the big question. Is it Herbst? Is it the OG Giovanni? Time to find out. ]

Go fuck off to the opera or something.

[ Brilliant maneuver. ]

[sixtyeighth]

Why the hell would I do that, eyepatch? Especially when there's so much fun to be had here?

[fthisgetmecigs]

[ Not Herbst. Check. He has an expression of mock realization on his face. ]

Oh right, I forgot! Yer idea of fun is fuckin' around with people with a side of murder. Ain't sure why they brought you here out of all the crazies. Better than your psychotic mom though I guess.

[ One more thing. ]

Don't call me eyepatch!

[sixtyeighth]

They just love to have me world-hopping.

And - I'll do what I want. What can you do about it?

[ Because he's a petulant shit -- ]

Eyepatch. Eyepatch. Eyepatch. Eyepatch.

[fthisgetmecigs]

Fuck, some other place got afflicted with you too? Standards are pretty low these days I guess.

[ He clenches his teeth despite the cigarette. As much as he wants to snap back at Gio - He's got guns but no bullets (Not that they did much damage anyway on his kind of people) and he has a feeling throwing the guns at his head will be pretty ineffective. ] There's gonna be a bigger fish in the pond that's gonna get you one of these days - Fuckin' count on it.

[ At the nickname, Badou's expression quickly changes to a rather pissed off one. The video shakes, clearly he'd been sitting down previously and is now standing. ] Don't.Call.Me.Eyepatch. You little shit.

[sixtyeighth]

I'm sure these places don't pick, and neither do we. A real shame, maybe they could have brought Heine instead of you.

[ Hmm. He sounds amused rather than anything else. ]

None of those big fish are here. A real shame that there's not really any challenges here.

[ Well, there's one he knows of, but -- he wouldn't disclose that. ]

I'll call you Eyepatch all I want.
