[Walkabout to 4th Wall] Oops

[failgoyle]

Alright, we're under the hospital, past the airlock, there's a...thing down here, I dunno what it does...but I'm going to see if I can crack it like I did the airlock door. Seeing as how I'm the best-qualified and all...

[There's a long pause with a little bit of the psychic equivalent of Jules muttering coding nonsense to himself.]

Huh, that's weird, I wonder if--

[It is at this point that the shift back to Liminal occurs, and that everyone, not just the people on Walkabout, will be able to hear it.]

I DIDN'T DO IT!

Why were you even fuckin' with it to begin with, kid?

[He missed the whole part where somebody told Jules to be useful. He was out in the jungle still, at that point.]

[failgoyle]

By told me to make myself useful over there! So I was!

[itsananimalthing]

[There may or may not be an actual groan on Riddick's end. Thankfully, Jules can't hear it, if there is.]

I don't think he meant makin' yourself useful by fucking with a dimensional portal, Jules. You got some common sense in there somewhere, I know you do.

[failgoyle]

But what else could he have meant if it wasn't to try to get the machine working!

...and it's not like I meant to set the thing off!

[itsananimalthing]

It meant he just didn't want you underfoot, kid.

[failgoyle]

But I can be useful and not underfoot!

[itsananimalthing]

Yeah, somewhere that doesn't involve you messin' with a dimensional portal.

Though I guess I ain't all that put out. I was gettin' sick of that island, anyway.

[failgoyle]

It was kind of creepy how quiet it was...

...and the ferris wheel. That was beyond creepy.

[itsananimalthing]

Creepy don't mean nothin'. It was just empty and broken, that's all. Now if there'd been people, then I might've worried.

[Except probably not. Riddick isn't really a worrier, much, especially not over something insignificantly like "danger".]

[failgoyle]

When you've had as many terrible carnival experiences as I have, they're creepy just by existing.

[itsananimalthing]

Never had any, so guess I can't get that. Never even seen a carnival except during a Jaunt, and that was always on tv or somethin'.

[failgoyle]

Well, you're not missing much. They're awful.
