Video; the.boneless. Guess who's back?

[ragnarsson]

[So it looks like a familiar face has returned after a couple of weeks away. He's only been gone a short time, but it's clear more time has passed for Ivar. He's aged about a year, maybe two, and his hair is different. But there's some things that never change. His eyes are still angry and sharp, missing nothing around him, and he has a look on his face like he's contemplating murdering everyone in Riverview. It's quite possible he's gotten crazier and more unstable. in his time away.]

I always knew I'd make it back here. Something about it made it inevitable. You all really should just learn I'm always right and not question my judgment.

[Oh yes, his arrogance has only gotten greater. That's what happens when you win almost every battle as the teenage leader of an army. Also, it appears the video is being filmed from an unusual angle for him, almost like he's standing up rather than sitting down.]

So if I've missed anything of vital importance, feel free to tell me, but I've got some catching up to do with people.

[Well, look who it is. His young and slightly wimpy friend.]

I'm right when it matters.

[And that's all that counts in Ivar's book.]

[stantheman]

I think this is probably why you don't get along with a lot of people.

[ And this is why Stan doesn't get along with a lot of people. ]

[ragnarsson]

I don't deny it. But most people aren't worth getting along with.

[Ivar is irritable, pissed-off most of the time, in constant pain, and just generally has an abrasive personality. It's not the best combination for being someone that people get along with.]

[stantheman]

Why?

[ragnarsson]

People tend to end up disappointing me. They're either idiots or can't keep their word.

[stantheman]

Everyone?

But, I guess it's hard for people to not disappoint someone like you.

[ The kind of person who thinks he's always right and all. Stan knows people like that back home. ]

[ragnarsson]

Everyone. They either betray me, leave me, or do both at the same time.

[Is someone just a wee bit bitter over having all this happen to him over the past two years? Probably.]

[stantheman]

Ever thought if that's always happening to you that maybe you're doing something to cause it? It's just... mostly when the same things happen to people whether they're good or bad usually the person is doing something that makes people behave a certain way. like if you antagonize a bully you're going to get hit every time.

[ragnarsson]

I know exactly what I'm doing.

[That's not a yes or no answer to the question, which means Ivar is aware of what he does to drive people away, but does it anyway so he doesn't end up being hurt. The fact it ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy has not escaped his attention.]

[stantheman]

Why do you do it?

[ragnarsson]

Good question.

[Which is Ivar-speak for 'I'm not answering it because it's way too personal and you're being a nosy little pest.']
