Second Guitar Solo // Eddie Riggs [Video]

So, anybody out there sides me suddenly saddled with a talking animal? [Eddie's settled outside on a stone bench in the gardens, a Toucan settled comfortable on the roadies head. It preening its feathers as the man spares it a brief glance upwards. The Toucan ignores him for now, content to clean itself.]

If not, I'd like to know why the hell I got a bird outta nowhere. [The bird tsks quietly, talking in a crisp British accent.] Now dear, is that really necessary?

...Is what necessary?

Using such vulgar language?

All I said was hell, s'not a big deal ya know.

It makes you look uncultured. [She fluffles her feathers some, as displeased as a talking bird can be.]

Ey, I'm cultured. Just in the ways of heavy metal and ass kickin'.

Not all of us can be the fancy hold your pinkys up while you do shit version of cultured. [He waves a hand lightly in the air, ignoring the Toucan's sigh. She having to agree some with his point, but still going to attempt to argue.] True enough but-

Lets just get back to the point alright, I want to know if I'm going nuts or if anyone else has a talking animal.

[Annoyed sigh duex, the Toucan hops down from his head to sit on his right shoulder to look him eye to eye.]

Daemon darling, Daemon. I am your soul.

...Didn't think my soul was so- britishy and so feathery. [Eddie past at his chest warily, half expecting another bird to pop free. His Daemon palm facing best a Toucan can before opting to press her foot onto the blackberry in Eddie's other hand, hitting a button and cutting the feed off while the rocker debates with her.]

[Meantime, looks like Heather's in her room, having a showdown with a weird-looking dog (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Lycaon_pictus_(Temminck%2C_1820).jpg/800px-Lycaon_pictus_(Temminck%2C_1820).jpg). Ala waving Mr. Pipey at it.]

All right, listen up good, okay? Your head splits in half, and I will pipe you in the face.

[The dog yawns.] You won't really hit me. [He sounds oddly reminiscent of... Michael J. Fox?]

Ohhhh yeah? And why not? [Heather cocks an eyebrow.]

'Cause. You know I'm a part of you. [And he settles down to take a nap.]

Want to switch talkin' animals? Mines kind of uptight for some reason. [Eddie replies, partially amused while Anvil gives a displeased noise in response.]

Gah! [She jumps at his voice. She keeps forgetting about the Blackberry. She lowers the pipe and pulls it out of her vest pocket so she can look at him.] Christ, you have one too?

...The hell is that, Toucan Sam?

Looks like it, though mines a feathery.

[The Toucan gives a harrumph! noise sounding insulted.] Why I never!

I wish, then I'd get some cereal. [He glances at the Toucan who looks affronted by all of this.] Think you can find some cereal Sammy?

Sammy?! I have a name you know!

And it is...?

Anvil.

[Eddie just raises a brown glancing back at Heather.] Okay, so Heather, this is Anvil, apparently my feathery soul. Who's really British for some reason.

Uh. Nice to meet you, Anvil...? Hey! [She turns to the sleeping dog, who groans a bit and lifts his head.] Do you have a name too?

Of course I do. We all have names.

Aaaand...?

'S Elric. Which I was trying to tell you before you got all excited and started waving pipes at me. You really should work on your patience.

Fantastic. I'm getting lectured by a weirdo dog named Elric.

[Elric puts his head back on his paws again. Heather sighs and looks back at the camera.]

Anvil and Elric. Sounds like some retarded comedy hour. Seriously, the more this Author person does, the more I think she's a giant hack.

The feeling would be mutual if you did not compare me to a cereal mascot! [She grumps back, fluffing her feathers up in displeasure. Eddie just gives her a look, sparring the bird a small poke. Anvil squawks in displeasure.]

I hope this Author Chick isn't expecting any fuckin' awards, cause this isn't exactly our generations ground breaking show, book or whatever. The headbangers wrote better stuff than this with graffiti back home.

Argh, fuck if I know. Is it nice outside? Maybe I'll come join you, just to get away from Elric.

[Elric makes a noise that sounds decidedly like a snerk, although he does not bother to open his eyes.]

Not that great, a little foggy but still nice enough to sit outside. [One has to wonder how Eddie can sit outside in muggy weather with a vest as his only item of warmth.] Wouldn't mind the company though. Be nice to talk to someone who isn't covered in feathers.

[Said someone covered in feathers gives an irritated sound.]

[She hesitates a little -- really not a fan of the fog at the moment, but... what the hell. If there aren't monsters by now she should be okay. She'll bring Mr. Pipey just in case, leave the others.]

Okay, I'll be right there.

[She leaves her room and starts heading downstairs...Except Elric starts following her. After going down the hall, she turns at him and glares.] I thought you were taking a nap!

Yes, well... now we're going someplace.

Why don't you just leave me alone?!

Not gonna happen, sweetcakes. [Elric yawns.]

Did you just call me "sweetcakes"?!

[Eddie shakes his head some. Even he knows pet names and Heather equal sad times for those involved.] Elric, s'probably a good idea if you avoid nickname, part of her soul or not, she's got a pipe.

[That earns an partially amused sound from Anvil.] So you do believe me?

Not really, but better safe than sorry. Piping your soul would probably hurt. [The roadie gives a small shrug along with his lovely explanation.]

Yeah? Didya hear that? I've got a pipe.

Kay, fine, what'd you like me to call you? You've got so many names.

[Heather halts and glares at Elric.] Can you read? My door says Heather. That's my name.

[Although it is a little more complicated than that, but she'd rather not explain that to anybody.] Ugh, I'll be right there, Eddie. I can't really walk and talk with this thing.

[The feed cuts out, and a few minutes later Heather shows up on one of the garden paths, looking around a bit in awe. She didn't have a chance to explore this too much the first time she was here, and then she was chained to people for a week. Elric trots along a few feet behind her.]

Hey.

[Eddie gives a small nod of greeting. Lips tugged into an easy smile.]

At least greet her properly. [Oh hay, that smile Eddie was wearing, goneeee. He gives his Toucan-y soul a side glance.] Yo Heather, sides obnoxious animals, what's up?

That is not what I meant.

[Heather plops down next to him on a bench and snerks at Anvil.] Oh, you know, can't complain. At least we're not chained together anymore.

[Elric trots up and promptly collapses at their feet, settling down for... another nap.]

Looks like we got the reject daemons, if you ask me.

Fuck yeah, I don't mind those guys- cept the butler...- but a week or so with them was too much. [Anvil just disapprovingly shakes her head at both of them.]

Heh, that or we have some weird ass souls. Last time I check, I wasn't exactly British-y and cranky like she is. [He jerks his thumb towards Anvil, who tsks and opts to flap her wings, taking flight and landing on Elric's back.]

The -- butler? You mean the tall guy in the suit? What's wrong with him?

Right, and I don't think I'm some good-for-nothing slacker. [She pokes Elric with the tip of her boot. Nothing. And he doesn't even flinch when Anvil lands on him.]

Okay, so I could do better in school, but I'm not this lazy!

He just smells fuckin' nasty. [Eddie wrinkles his nose some having to make a face.] Beyond that he acts pretty weird around me. Hell if I know why.

[Anvil meanwhile settles into her perch of dog, which is probably weird as all hell to behold.]

This place is sending me the message to be British and proper. [He jokes some, holding a pinky upwards in a 'fancy' fashion. Features shifting back into an eased grin.]

Edited 2010-06-15 07:04 (UTC)

... Huh. Maybe he just wasn't digging the idea of showering around other dudes last week. [He's always looked really clean to her, but she's never gotten close to him, really.]

Yeah, you should work on that. [zShe giggles at the pinky demonstration.] Maybe the butler can help you. He's British, right?

From the smell of him he doesn't dig showering at all. [Eddie had to sleep next to the man for a week, the roadie is finding it hard to forget the smell.]

[Eddie wiggles his pinky helpfully to make it more fancy.] I'd rather not approach stanky the butler unless I have to. The guy just is- kind of off. [Eddie's smile falters briefly at that but hey it bounces back quite easily.]

Smelly, kind of off butler. ... Fair enough, I guess. [All she's got is that he's got one of those pretty boy faces. Almost too pretty. Which she's fairly certain Eddie doesn't want to hear about, so she keeps it to herself.]

Good-looking, huh?

[That was Elric, who she was sure was asleep.] Shut UP! [She kicks him harder this time.]

Ouch! That hurt!

Oh my God, man up, will you?

Ey, I was around him all week. Dude is just- off. [Its all Eddie can say. His feelings are probably irrational, but he doesn't like the smell of rancid meat any.

Though Eddie does snort some when Heather kicks Elric.]

Dude, she's got bigger metaphorical balls than you do. Buck up.

I've got no problem being a baby. [Elric sounds defiant.] Just wake me up if you need protection or anything.

... Is he for real? I can protect myself fine. I don't need some narcoleptic half-leopard to do it for me.

[Sorry Elric, but even Anvil is stifling a laugh at your expense.]

You could always use him as a meat shield if worse comes to worse?

[Snerk.] Meat shield. I like the sound of that.

You'll probably like it even more when you need to duck behind something real fast.

Eddie, really, Elric isn't a meatshield.

Ey, I know that, doesn't make it any less funny though.

Please, let's just call a spade a spade here. [Giggles.] That's your new name. Meatshield.

And I got in trouble for calling you Sweetcakes...

Hey man, sometimes we roll with double standards, gotta keep up.

Honestly, you two are incorrigible! [Anvil gives them both a look, all the while getting settled in Elrics fur.]

Incorrigibly awesome you mean.

...Incorrigibly giving me a headache.

You're a bird, how the hell do you even get a headache?

By being around the two of you.

Edited 2010-06-17 03:34 (UTC)

[She laughs at the two annoyed daemons.] We exasperate our own souls. I'm really not sure what that says about us. Besides that we're awesome.

Think it says we're awesomely kick ass.

[Anvil just frowns the best a Toucan can at Eddie. Settling down in Elrics fur, comfortably.]

You two truly are impossible as you are incorrigible. Honestly with being kidnapped, you two should be more serious!

Hey, we ARE serious. We're gonna blow up some trees and get out of here. Eddie made a blueprint.

Maybe you should get on that, then. [Elric's ears twitch as Anvil settles into his fur.]

No real need to rush man, sides I still need to poke around this place a little more to find stuff to build what I have in mind. Can't build anythin' unless I've got the parts for it.

You still aren't seriously going to tear your room apart for parts are you?

Best place to start if any.

Hey, I'll help! [Gives a thumbs up.]

[Eddie gestures at Heather as he talks to Anvil.] See, we're totally serious. We're going to strip my room for parts and start building soon as we can!

[Anvil looks unimpressed.] It still seems silly.

Ey, parts for the Headsplitter don't exactly just grow around here like I do back where I'm from. Gotta work with what you got!

Yeah. What he said. I don't really understand any of it, but he seems to know what he's doing.

[This is Anvil, she is just biting back a sigh, roosting in Elric's fur. The wild African dog her new living perch.]

You'll get it when I go over the blue prints again. [This is followed by more chatter on Eddie's part.

The scene draws to a close with Anvil pulling herself free from the comfort of Elrics fur to land on Eddie's shoulder.]

Best we go get your axe than, you said something about chopping down trees.

[Eddie nods, he moving to get up from the bench]

I'll see you later Heather, gotta go kick some trees asses. [With that he walks away into the ~~sunset~~ the foggy scenery, Heather probably able to hear Anvil an Eddie talking about his use of curse words.]

Tucan, huh? Having a cat doesn't seem so bad anymore. [He snickers. Then...] OW!

[he drops the camera which reveals his Daemon, a sleek black cat (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3632/3567504307_ca4497f757.jpg?v=0), with the claws of her left paw out. She has just scratched his exposed arm. And Mello looks at it bitterly, as blood wells up]

What the Hell was that for?

Be nicer.

You just scratched me!

Don't be such a baby! It didn't hurt that much.

At least his isn't abusing him.

[Its Eddies turn to give an amused sound, crossings his arms while Anvil stays settled on his shoulder.] Good to see I'm not the only one arguing with my talking animal this week.

Daemon.

Yeah, yeah, babe, you're still a kind of a Toucan.

Who is apart of your soul, dear, you should remember that.

I'll keep it in mind. Hard not to when you're telling me it all the time.

You're getting that soul thing to?

[Mello is nursing his bleeding arm, glancing around for a tissue box.]

if you give me cat-scratch fever I will end you, cat.

You're so rude! You're acting like a big baby! And my name is Bubastis! Anvil, I don't know how you've kept your head about him. Yours, I mean.

More or less, finding it kind of hard to believe my soul is a Toucan. [It earns him a look from Anvil. Eddie sighs at that, sparring the bird a pet.]

I got the easy end of the deal darling in comparison to yours, Eddie tends to give in when he knows I'm right. He also doesn't mind the company from what I can tell.

Yeah, I thought a fucking cat was bad.

[Bubastis rolls her eyes, but she winds affectionately around him when she speaks about him]

Mello's smart, we'll work it out in the end, I think. And I know deep down he likes having me here.

I do not.

[He pushes her tail out of his face]

Think we're both out of luck man, can't exactly make either of them go away. [Eddie tries to shoo the bird, Anvil just settled comfortable on his shoulder giving him a 'Uh huh' look.]

Of course he does, he's just rough around the edges. Soon enough he'll adjust, Eddie has. Even if he won't admit it. [Anvil agrees, ignoring Eddie's flicker of exasperation. Simply replying amusedly back.] You have lived through stranger things darling.

...Alright, you got me there lady. [Eddie does not like being bested by a bird.]

You know, a long time ago I told myself that after the shit I'd seen, I'd believe anything. Seems like this Author is trying to test that.

[Bubastis is licking her tail] it wasn't that long ago.

Not too weird compared where I'm from. Trees back home grew exhaust pipes after all, but I'm still not going to get used to having an animal side kick all the sudden.

I am not a side kick. I'm apart of you. [Anvil amazingly doesn't sound irritated that this statement has probably been repeated this more times than she can count.]

[Mello shrugs. He thinks his world is way weirder than what sounds like a surrealist painting mixed with an Iron Maiden album. But whatever.]

They'll figure it out.

Ooh! I like yours!!

[Kio is sitting with a giant panda. (http://witsaboutme.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/giant-panda-china-big1.jpg)]

Kio-chan what about...?

Eh? Don't worry, Lei-chan! You're still my favorite! [He giggles a little] But I like Eddie-chan's toucan too! You're really pretty~! [This is clearly directed at the bird]

Tell her I think so too.

[Anvil preens at that, relaxing only a little to give a small sort of smile.] Why thank you, both of you, the compliment is appreciated.

You could go about teaching Eddie some manners. [Eddie gives a faint scoff at that and just ruffles the birds feathers some.] Your panda's pretty cool too man, her name is Lei right?

[Kio chuckles a little] I don't know, I like Eddie-chan the way he is! He's nice just rough.

Leizu [if a panda was capable of blushing, this one would be.]

Lei-chan is a little shy! And yeah! She's really cute, isn't she?

Th-thank you!

See? I told you cultured comes in a lot of different ways. [This is aimed at Anvil, who sighs some.]

S'cool to meet you Leizu. [Eddie offers back, having to smile some at the shy bear.] Hell yeah man, though I'm kind of surprised she's so shy though.

Hee, hee, thank you very much, Eddie-chan? Can I call you Eddie-chan? Is that okay?

Yeah! He likes it! Right, Eddie-chan?

[Kio ruffles Leizu's fur] I was a little surprised at first too. Especially with that whole "soul" thing. I never thought there was a shy part of me!

Course I don't mind, it's not what I'm usually called but it's cute.

Guess there are a lot of different parts of us. Though I'll debate over having any part of me being this uptight. [He pokes at Anvil, who by this point rolls her eyes at him.] You certainly are 'uptight' when it comes to stage productions dear.

Ey, cause that's serious stuff. Gotta make sure everything runs smoothly. [This is aimed at Anvil, who nudges Eddie with her beak.]
