17th Blur | Tommy Shepherd [Accidental Video]

[notaspeedyhobo]

[When the video jostles on, it's because it was tossed to the ground, giving a good view of a certain white-haired speedster being shoved out the door of his room into their common room. He's uh. A little less than properly dressed, wearing just a metallic silver speedo, showing off quite a bit of pale skin and lean muscle. He looks a little

What sort of projects did you want to learn to sew?

[still filtered because he's paranoid]

[notaspeedyhobo]

Just... stuff. Something for a present for my girlfriend. [Oh god he's so embarrassed.]

Re: [still filtered because he's paranoid]

[So cute! Emilia smiles]

I can teac you needlepoint or how to sew together small items.

[notaspeedyhobo]

[He's flushing a bit. Stupid pale skin.] How small? I'm having a bow made for Kate and I was... wanting to put together a quiver. I've got fabric and all that, I just... don't know anything about pattern-making or sewing.

[Audio]

[notasidedick]

I'm just going to go out on a limb-[Wow Dick. Do you just subconsciously make really terrible puns?]-and tell you that a lot of people probably don't appreciate the speedo dance.

I guess I'm not the only one having a hair problem though.

[Audio]

[notaspeedyhobo]

[Oh. Hey. Someone saw the video of you falling flat on your face not too long ago and had no idea how to respond to you missing an arm.]

Yeah, I guess not. I uh... You doin' alright?

[Audio]

[notasidedick]

[Okay, he didn't fall on his face thank you. Just his butt.]

Huh?...Yeah I'm doing alright? Why wouldn't I be? [You know, other then for obvious reasons that Dick keeps avoiding.]

[Audio]

[notaspeedyhobo]

I do watch the network. You're minus an appendage. [Well. Being blunt is one way to go about it, I guess. This is why Tommy didn't say anything earlier.] How-... Shit, I'm sorry I didn't... come by to check on you or anything.

[Filtered to Tommy]

[kingroadie]

Ey, kid. S'nice to meet ya. [He feels you for the original post, Tommy. Sasha does not approve of underwear based dances either.]

Yeah, I can. Got a sturdier prototype I hade for Roy still lyin' round. You can tell me what exactly you want and I can fix it up.

[notaspeedyhobo]

[Plebes. Clearly they don't know the wonders of underwear-based dances.] Likewise, I mean. You know.

Really? That's awesome. I've got a couple of sketches, Kate's normal bow is a double recurve, and I'd like something pretty similar to what she usually uses. How much do you want for the bow and a stock of arrows? I can provide feathers for the fletching and I can also help however you need me to. I mean, I don't know shit about this sort of thing but I can heat metal without fire... [Sorry, he's rambling. Silly speedster.]

[kingroadie]

[Oh how they'll woe when they realize just what they've missed.]

Those sketches will help me a hellva lot, make things go smoother in makin' the bow for ya too. I'd only really have to tweak what I've got, get your approval 'fore I start makin' it.

Price wise, whatever beer you got is good. M'plenty okay with just that. I already got plenty of stuff for the arrow's themselves, so don't worry bout that, kid.

[Damn speedsters! It just makes Eddie smile back at Tommy's rambling.]

[notaspeedyhobo]

[All their woe. All of it.]

Great! I'll bring those and the booze by as soon as Kate leaves the room, she won't notice beer missing at least, she doesn't drink and she doesn't let me drink ever since my brother and I got drunk that one week and played I Never- Yeah. [He catches himself, remembering the lesson his girlfriend has tried so hard to drill into his head: not everyone speaks speedster.]

Oh, could you also do like an engraving just above the grip? It's cool if no but I'd like to put her mark on it, make it a little more special. [Because they've been together for almost six months now. It doesn't warrant an anniversary, but he IS a lovesick puppy wanting to get her something special.]

[iwantbluefont]

That'd be so much funnier if we weren't identical. [Still smirking though.] Do you want something else to wear?

And...I guess if no one else offers I could try and trim your hair.

[Video]

[notaspeedyhobo]

Bill, don't ogle your brother, that's weird. [Sticking his tongue out at you.] Yeah, mind loaning me a shirt? I think I'm temporarily banned from Kate's and my room.

I'm debating whether I should trust you with my hair or not. [He grins teasingly. Prepare for terrible jokes.] On one hand, you've never cut hair before. On the other, you are gay so maybe it comes naturally.

[Video]

[iwantbluefont]

[Sticks his right back out at you. He should have seen that coming.] No teasing or I'll leave you out there half naked and long haired.

[He nods though.] You can borrow whatever you want. No hairdresser jokes though. I can probably manage a trim, that doesn't make me a one of those uber gay stylists.

[Video]

[notaspeedyhobo]

[You should always see these things coming with Tommy.] Is that a threat? Just means the ladies of the Facility get to look at my sexy abs and Fabio hair for a while longer. [Modest? Oh yeah, he's totally modest.]

Yeah, yeah, no making fun of you while you've got scissors by my head. [He laughs a little.] Butcher my hair and I'll butcher yours so we can stay identical.

When do you have time?

[felldown7gotup8]

Pffft, these things have the worst timing, don't they?

Do you still need someone to teach you to sew? 'Cause I'm pretty good, at least with making things functional. [Who's bored out of her skull? This girl.]

I'd offer to do your hair too, but, uh, given that I've never tried before, I think you'd probably be better off if I didn't. Unless of course, the hacked off look is what you're going for.

[notaspeedyhobo]

Eh, no big, I got nothin' to hide. [You now have a shirtless speedster grinning at you.]

Yeah, if you've got time, that'd be cool. I mean. Not 'cool' but, you know. I kind of need to learn for a present I'm putting together for my girlfriend.

...Think I'll pass on that. Probably gonna have my brother do it.

[felldown7gotup8]

[What a shame he's too young for her to enjoy the view. /is shot But have an amused grin in response.] Doesn't sound like your girlfriend agrees with this sentiment though.

It's totally cool. A quiver, right? [Ooh, look who's being nosy, watching his other threads.] You're lucky. That's not very complicated. The other girl's idea about the water bottle is good, just make sure your girlfriend doesn't use broadhead type arrows with it or the edges will catch in the fabric when she pulls them out.

Also, can I just say? Coolest present. If this is the kind of thing your girlfriend likes, she must be pretty awesome.

[notaspeedyhobo]

[Hey, he'll be legal in two more years! /shottoo] Eh, apparently there's a 'no dancing in skimpy bathing suits' rule for our suite that I didn't know about. [Because Kate is the queen of suite 32.

He's unconcerned about the hacking, at least. He's got nothing to hide except from Kate.] Really? That's good, I mean. I don't really want to learn to sew to any ridiculous extent, I just want to get this made for her. [He looks a little thoughtful at the suggestion.] Hmm. I don't know what kind of arrowheads Eddie usually makes. She'll only need this for F1, she's got her own bow and trick arrows for F3s. Think I should line the inside with water bottle plastic, too? I can heat it with kinetic energy enough to shape it, I think.

She is pretty awesome. She's... Well, let's just say a dozen roses doesn't cut it.
