[Eddie turns on the camera and leans really close to it, inspecting the communicator, then pulls away to a more respectable distance. He tries his hand at a charming smile, but it just comes across as kind of sleazy.]

Hi. It's Brock. Edward Brock, Jr. How's it going?

[Then he looks around the room and talks, his voice slightly deadpan and sarcastic.]

Soooo. This is a nice boat. Really, I mean, the cabins? The whole [Yeah, he's BUSTING OUT THE AIR QUOTES, along with a slightly creepy giggle-grin combo. Blame the symbiote.] "personal touch" theme you've got going? I like it. I mean, it's creepy, but I like it. [He puts a hand to his heart, looking "solemn."] You really know how to make a guy feel at home.

The thing is, I'm not really a... [He pulls a thoughtful expression, tilting his head from one side to the other as he thinks of, oh, how to break the news that he doesn't belong here?] nautical person. In The Navy? Never really spoke to me. So, you know, if you could just park this thing at closest tropical island, I'll let myself out. Okay? [Leaning closer now, he grins.] Glad we could have this talk.

[OOC: IGNORE THE ICON. He doesn't have black tendrils or fangs right now. He just looks TOTALLY NORMAL. I'm only using this icon for the expression. Also, I've been up since 3 am, so I might... fall asleep and drop tags for a few hours.]

Brockedwardbrockjunior? That's a bit of a mouthful.

Oh, buddy, you have no idea. I could name a few women who can verify that. Fact check, if you know what I'm talkin' about. [Yes, he just said that :c OH HO SMARMY CHUCKLE.] Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't, y'know, kiss and tell. [SMILE.]

[Yeah. This face.]

Gods, I hate you already.

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

[Ugh, more jackasses on my Barge. Still he's perfectly pleasant when he speaks, no sign of contempt at all.] Well, you're in luck! Why don't you go up on deck, take a look over the side, you should find something interesting. [This is far easier than the whole Admiral, you're dead, inmate, conversation anyway.]

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Or you could... I don't know, tell me.

[toldastory]

Sorry, Mr. Brock, I'm afraid this place doesn't really work like that.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Well, hey, [He chuckles genially.] it was worth a shot. [YES, Eddie is totally fine with this and not screeching in rage on the inside.]

Mind telling me how this place works, beautiful? Say... over a cup of coffee?

[vinkus-witch.livejournal.com]

You're dead. There will be no tropical islands, or if there are, you will probably see countless untold horrors on them.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Looking at the view [I.E. YOU.] I can tell I'm in heaven already. [Yes, he is not put off by your coloring. EDDIE IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SLEAZE.]

[mightymorbid]

Well that's one we haven't seen in a while.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

[IGNORE THE ICON. THIS IS HOW HE LOOKS ON THE ~INSIDE~]

I guarantee you haven't seen anything like me.

i don't even know what his problem is now

[darknessb4me]

Light above, do we have to do this every time? "I'm not dead! I'm not on a boat!"

No. Don't post again until you stop being an idiot. You are not special, you are not amusing, get over yourself. I am not explaining. Figure it out.

Well... Eddie brings this out in people

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

You know... I don't recall asking you. You should probably take a step back, guy. Relax. Your blood pressure'll thank you for it.

[strangehistorian]

Ah!

[So eager to not be the new one any more! c:]

Hello, Edward! I'm afraid we can't let you out just yet, though.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Because I have to find "redemption" first?

...

Here's the thing: I don't need it.

[plz-gtfo-dragon.livejournal.com]

Your first reaction to dying and waking up on an unearthly ship containing your home is to make Village People jokes?

...Somehow I have a feeling the quality of the gene pool just improved considerably.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

The fact I feel fine probably has something to do with it.

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

A tropical island as a port. What a ridiculous notion! The Admiral is yet to set us somewhere so uncivilized.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

[BITING BACK A SNARKY COMMENT FOOOOR:] Where does this boat usually stop?

voice;

[everylittlegirl]

It is a little creepy, yeah, but you appreciate it once you've been here for a little while.

[Have something that sounds a little like flirting but is actually mocking.] Are you sure you weren't in the military? I mean, you're just like, such a dreamboat. I'll bet you were a total charmer.

voice;

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

[Mockery? HE DOESN'T EVEN NOTICE.] Well, I'm not one to brag, but I played a few sports in high school... These days, though, Iiiii'm something of an artist-slash-investigator. A photographer for The Daily Bugle. I'm sure you've heard of it.

[Have a "charming" chuckle.] And may I say you have a beautiful voice? Do you sing?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Wait right where you are, Brock. I need to find the jock to your frat boy and commemorate this occasion with a photo.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Frat boy? I'm pretty sure there was a distinctive lack of bro in my entry.

[Private ] so he doesn't have to talk about his woobie feelings anymore filter. D:

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

If you can convince the son-of-a-bitch who runs this boat to do something like that I want in. Fuck, I'll help you convince the guy.

[Private ] this is going to be such a hideous team up. I AM EXCITE

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

[As usual: IGNORE THE VENOMFACE. He's not showing it on camera. But you may notice his voice sounds a LIIIITTLE different. Smoother, less dweeby and awkward, with a little growl to it.] Oh, believe me, I can be a very convincing guy. What do you know about the Admiral?
