[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 have no idea what to type to that: My brain has actually gone numb.

I don't want to call you drooling or stupid so I won't, but I'm 99% that's not how royalty runs in any sense. Your bloodline hardly matters when there's no line of succession in EXISTENCE. Why are you obsessing so much about it?

one my race doesnt evven do that succession shit like you humans do so wway to be fuckin xenophobic
twwo sea dwwellers are royalty caste no matter wwhat therefore wwhen the atlanteans stopped bein around to rule i naturally took ovver for em thats just howw it wworks
or howw its SUPPOSED to wwork anywway it aint like you humans didnt fuck up on a wwhole mess a other things after wwe put together this entire shitty univverse for you

and three because i like remindin the lowwbloods a their place

I wish I could just turn the communicator off and stop reading this but I can't.

Blood aside, don't you realize that we lowbloods don't care? We really couldn't. We'll forget in a week.

you wwont i bet
and evven if the rest of em do ill end up joggin their memory sooner or later its not a big deal
aint like im unused to bein fuckin ignored anyhoww

Wow, I'm not sure how to feel about this.

It's all just super depressing.

fuck off its inspirin

Didn't I type inspiring? I thought I typed inspiring.

youre one smug fuck for bein an assblood you knoww that

Look, I'm sorry and I'm sorry for you.
Having a kingdom backed by nothing doesn't sound like a wonderful prospect.

wwell ivve got a shitton of pirate gold i could probably go find since you humans wwent and made shitty fuckin ships til a feww decades ago so there you go wwe got royal coffers
wwhich sure aint NOTHIN so fuck you im doin great

You're going to hoard gold in your home full of domesticated fish.

i might evven put a bunch a fuckin piles of it evverywhere all ostentatious like and such like i did back in my old hivve

and theyre not DOMESTICATED im pretty sure xerxes here is tryin to sting the fuck outta me wwhen im not lookin

Oh, nevermind. I understand.

I thought you were a joke, but now I see that this whole scenario is. I must have been blind.

piss off i dont see YOU wwavvin around anythin a note
wwhoevver the fuck you are
see youre a nobody you aint got any right to go criticizin howw i conquer the fuck outta shit
noww if you start tellin me you got awwesome powwers ovver the truest a wwhite sciences LIKE SOME PEOPLE those people bein me wwell then i might be halfwway interested

I have no idea what the white sciences are but I'm a huge fan of the sciences. But that's not relevant.

I'm not the one suddenly grabbing at territory like a toddler.

wwell im a scientist myself actually
noww only the truest a the sort that bein the wwielder a the purest wwhite nonfictional fuckin powwer drawwn from the wweepin wwrath-wweary eyes a fifty thousand slaughtered nonfictional fuckin angels but its basically the same as any other kind
just a thousand times more kickass

[100% serious.]

[ literally painful to read

literally ]

I think I lost track after weeping? I don't understand.

dont wworry i didnt expect you to

Right.

Angels.

vvicious bloodthirsty fuckin monsterous ones at that
and fuckin difficult as FUCK to kill each of em ate about a minute a sustained fire from only the most kickass a god wweapons around before theyd evven quit buzzin around tryin to evviscerate folk and such

Oh, sure. I think I played that game before.

wwait you played sgrub
or sburb i guess wwhatevver

No. Just something with angels and shooting and leveling up.

Games aren't real.

considerin that GAME is the fuckin bullshit reason i dont havve a home planet anymore i think its pretty safe to say this one wwas

I'm not going to argue with you about something I didn't see, much less know about.

But it sounds unbelievable.
