[Owen can be seen knocking back some sort of alcoholic drink at the bar nearby Discedo's hospital and, judging by the empty glasses and bottles around him, he's been there a while.

At first it seems like the device has turned itself on without his knowledge, but then he begins talking, not looking at the camera at all.]

You know...doesn't really matter where you go, same shit happens no matter what. You meet people, you lose them, you end up alone and none of it even really matters.

Seems to me the only smart thing to do is become a hermit, at least then you avoid all that drama and the idiots who populate this ridiculous world.

And it's not just Fortuna or Earth, it's everyfuckingwhere. I've seen all kinds of species and learned about all these different places and you think, for just a second, maybe there is something better, something that makes it all worth it, but then the second passes and you realize it never changes.

Every species, in every world, in every universe; they're all exactly the same and none of it ever fucking changes.

[He sighs heavily, knocking back another drink, before switching the device off.]

[ For a moment Ange is quiet, just staring at the feed which ended already for a little while, but then as she turns on her own feed she just makes a somewhat bitterly amused sound. ]

Yeah, you got it exactly right. Pretty funny how you didn't realise that until you started drinking, apparently.

[Drunk and pissy, he just scoffs.]

Yeah, well, some of us're busy. Didn't exactly have time before now to contemplate life and all its disappointments.

It's not really something you have to consciously contemplate before realising it. [ She just shrugs a little to herself, her voice deadpan - she doesn't get riled up too easily. ]

It's just more or less a fact of life. A constant.

Yeah, well, sorry for tryin' to hold what hope I could. It's gone now, so no worries.

Oh, you don't have to apologize to me. You're the only one getting yourself in trouble with that sort of attitude after all.

[ audio ]

[weevilroyalty]

Trouble? Don't think so. I've spent 18 years with this attitude, I'm sure I'll be fine.

This place and your home world are undoubtably different though. I mean, unless you're from some ruined post-apocalyptic city infested with monsters, then I'll take that back.

[ audio ]

[weevilroyalty]

Take out the post-apocalyptic and you're not too far off, sadly.

[ audio ]

[isolatedpiece.livejournal.com]

Infested with monsters all the same, then? I'm a little impressed. [ not really, probably, judging from that deadpan tone. ]

[ audio ]

[weevilroyalty]

Oh yeah, I can tell. Look, luv, you want to mock me? Fine. Do it some other night when I'm not trying to get drunk off my arse, okay?

[ audio ]

[isolatedpiece.livejournal.com]

... Don't get me wrong. If I would be mocking you, I would be more open about it. But either way, go ahead and drink yourself into a coma, I don't particularly care.

[ audio ]

[weevilroyalty]

Yeah, thanks, I'll do just that.
