[the feed is underwater, and not immediately focused on eridan (though his cape does drift slightly into view here and there). few, if any, will recognize the atlantean palace or its throne room, but the architecture and the being underwater thing might tip them off.]

Considerin' it's been about a week or so now, and I hawen't seen skin nor scale a her, it's pretty safe to say that Namora a Atlantis ain't roamin' these waters no more.

[a pause.]

That bein' said, as the last sea dweller and the only indiwidual who ain't got garbage slippin' through their weins around here, it's only natural that I take ower their palace and assorted territories in their absence. Maintain 'em and such.

Aforementioned territories bein' all sewen seas and ewerythin' in between, for the record.

[he flips the camera away from a meandering lionfish (his name is xerxes the sewenth) and to himself, comfortably sprawled in namor's throne. and being smug as a motherfucker. like literally, he's been super smug about shit before but at the moment his smugness may be mutating surrounding sealife just by how goddamn potent it is.

the lay of his cape obscures the slight bulges under his clothing at his shoulder and leg, for the most part, but his left fin is visibly torn, and still an angry purple.]

As fair and generous warnin', I'm allowin' the humans continued usage a my oceans not outta goodwill, but outta necessity. Mostly since you lungbreathers would probably start whinin' your tailfins off about widespread starwation or some shit if I didn't. But if I start seein' anythin' I don't necessarily like happenin' in my waters, I won't hesitate to fuck some a your laughable tin can ships all manner a up 'til the message starts comin' through clearer-like.

I ain't currently acceptin' wirgin sacrifices or tributes a precious metals and stones, but be watchin' for that in the future.

[he gives a little wave of his ringed fingers at the comm.]

Ewenin', dirtscrapers. And long liwe the Prince.

[end feed.]

I don't want their land, smartass. I'm just takin' my hatchright is all.

Besides, this ain't near as draconian as Nam was when he turned up. I'm bein' nice.

Namor is also a pretty powerful guy who could probably take on an army, if he needed too, and he's not around during the middle of a fucking crisis where the slightest misstep could mean more people going out of their way to fight us.

Just saying.

Then you better tell those people they oughta not fuck up my seas if they know what's good for 'em.

[sneering!!]

Just sayin'.

I can't control their armies. That's what their leaders do.

So have fun if you've got a Nuclear Sub on your fucking tail.

Then you probably oughta tell their leaders, huh?

Elsewise I'm goin' to hawe to blow up a fuckin' sub and it's goin' to be a major pain in my ass dealin' with the fallout.

And you can actually do that?

Just 'cos I got the good sense not to go flingin' my fuckin' powers around don't mean they ain't potent as fuck.

I can't control their leaders, asshole. If I could, you'd think I'd already be doing it!

Use, I dunno, mind control or somethin'.

This ain't difficult, Mitch.

I'm not going to control someone's mind! That's an infringenent of their basic human rights!

...That's actually somethin' humans think?

[CERULEANS AND THEIR MIND CONTROL POWERS, MAN]

Yes, that's something we think, and it's fucking real, too.

I still don't see how you people get anythin' done.

What, because we can choose things for ourselves? Easy, humans can put personal differences and beliefs aside for the common good.

Which is obwiously why they're all set on fuckin' oustin' you from their countries. Maybe ewen killin' you, if they had the chance.

They're doing what they think is best for their people. I don't agree with it, but I can respect the intent behind their actions.

[ And he would totally do the same thing...]

Well ain't that nice.

[SO CONCHDESCENDING.]

If you want to be a leader, Prince, you might want to learn how this shit works.

How about I just annex an island chain somewhere and show you lungbreathers how it's done.

Hawaii, maybe.

Hawaii? I don't think you understand the history we have with Hawaii. You wouldn't get fucking far.

You don't need Hawaii.

Now my oceanic nation, we could use some land dweller cattle to look pretty for the other land dwellers. Shit like that.

Bullshit you'll be able to take it. [ That's all he says, but there's an edge to his voice. ]

Don't tempt me.

[his tone is pleasant enough, but in that incredibly shitty kind of way.]

The fuck do you think it'll prove?

I dunno. Maybe I'll get bored a just fuckin' around with the rest a the kiddie pool and decide I oughta head to the deep end, if you parse my meanin' here.
