00001010 [video] - BRUNO THE NETWORK IS NOT CRAIGSLIST
[Well lookie here, it’s everyone’s favorite blue-haired robot pointing the camera up at his face and smiling awkwardly. He’s got a bunch of grease smudges on his face, plus a generally rumpled sort of “has been sleeping in his clothes and also probably on a couch for two weeks” look about him, but he seems cheerful enough.]
Hi! Uh, I’m not sure if this kind of thing gets posted here much, but... well, I figured some of you out there might be interested, and I thought I’d give you guys the first pick, you know?
[And with that needlessly vague lead-in, Bruno holds the camera out and pans it side to side a bit to show a wider angle of-oh, that’s what he’s talking about.]
[So he’s standing in the middle of… uh… well, it sort of looks like the general layout of a MAC apartment, except for the fact that it… appears to be a small mechanic’s garage. Filled with motorcycles. ALL KINDS of motorcycles. Seriously if it can fit through the front door then there is totally at least one bike like it in here. A bunch of them are clearly only half-built or very very rough around the edges, but a just as many of them you could easily imagine lined up on a dealership sales floor. Turning the camera back up to his face now:]
So… since I’m living in here again, I kind of need to free up some more space. [... UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY. Bruno rubs the back of his neck a little.] So I think I need to sell a few of these. Er, pretty soon.
[And now he flips the camera around wholesale and starts walking up and down the few little rows of bikes, stopping to get a few good angles each on the nice finished-looking ones. You can still hear him talking in the background.] They’re all road legal-with taillights and license plate holders and everything, I mean-and I won’t charge a whole lot or anything. This is pretty much just something I do in my spare time.
[And back to the face! Bruno’s smiling again, brighter this time.] I know there are at least a few other motorcyclists out there on the Network. If you see something you like, go ahead and reply!
[(Oh, by the way, the very sharp may have noticed that the walls have some kind of soundproofing material on them. But if you other MAC denizens ever happen to have heard some strange engine revving noises that seemed to somehow be coming from a few units away... um. Well, I guess that’s one mystery solved?)]
[Filtered to CASSANDRA CAIN (in VOICE ONLY hmmmm)]
[Trying to keep the giddy self-satisfaction out of his voice. Only halfway succeeding.] Have you got some free time later today? There’s something I wanna show you.
[And while he’s speaking it kinda sounds like he’s... walking across the apartment and opening a door?]
[Filtered to KIRYU and ALASTAIR also now in VIDEO AGAIN]
[And now we have Bruno stepping into what looks like it was the bedroom once (judging by the carefully disassembled bed components and mattress leaning flat against the wall) but is now mostly filled with various tools and, parked in the center of the floor, two more bikes: this one in the background, and the one camera is pointing at. Not even bothering to hide the giddy self-satisfaction anymore.]
It’s almost done. The saddle came in the mail today, I just need to let my guy at the shop know which parts of the faring design I want him to go ahead and punch out. Should we go for full faring or a more streetfighter-y kind of look?
... Also, what’s Bakura’s favorite color?
[ooc: If you wanna buy a motorbike, gimme a heads up here! :3 ]
