Second Gambit (Accidental? video)

Dec 26, 2010 21:49

*Some people might recognize the room on the screen as the inside of the House on the Rock. From the sparse furnishing, it would be obvious that someone recently moved in, even if David wasn't standing in plain view, holding an open locket. His expression could only be described as wistful as he looks at whatever's inside for a few seconds before ( Read more... )

that was private, missing my family, stringing you all along

[Cameron watches carefully] You seem sad.

[yes, she has a habit of saying things like that. Emotions are so baffling.]

[Video] just_asplanned December 27 2010, 04:22:32 UTC

Maybe a little disappointed. I guess I was looking forward to celebrating my next Christmas with a family before I got here.

[Video] le_pas_de_chat December 27 2010, 04:24:50 UTC

Yes. Christmas is a time to be with family. [A little more softly] I'm sorry for your loss.

[Video] just_asplanned December 27 2010, 04:35:52 UTC

I'll be fine without them for a while, but thank you anyway. *He closes the locket and offers a grateful seeming smile.*

I don't think I caught your name the last time we spoke.

You might find new family here. A lot of people have done that as a way of coping.

[She smiles, and it seems real enough; the astute will notice it's just a little...off] I'm Cameron. I'm from California. What about you?

*He notices indeed and if she's paying very close attention, she might notice a faint glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.* David Xanatos, from Manhattan. It's nice to meet you.

[Video] le_pas_de_chat December 27 2010, 05:24:09 UTC

[She's not quite as good at picking up subtleties as he is, but she continues watching him intently] I'm happy to meet you, David. I love Manhattan. It was pretty.

[Video] just_asplanned December 27 2010, 05:34:57 UTC

It is a magnificent island. Do you mind if I ask when you were there?

[Video] le_pas_de_chat December 27 2010, 05:37:04 UTC

2027. It's different then. I like it better in the past.

[Video] just_asplanned December 27 2010, 05:47:27 UTC

Different? *Probably not his version of Manhattan, but he's curious anyway.*

[Video] le_pas_de_chat December 27 2010, 05:48:28 UTC

[She's quiet a moment] Broken.

Everyone's dead.

[Video] just_asplanned December 27 2010, 05:59:04 UTC

*A moment of stunned silence.* I'm sorry. *Whether he means it or not is debatable.*

[Video] le_pas_de_chat December 27 2010, 06:03:16 UTC

I didn't know any of them. But the city isn't impressive without humans to run it.

What year are you from?

[Video] just_asplanned December 27 2010, 06:10:12 UTC

1996. A fair bit earlier than your time.

[Video] le_pas_de_chat December 27 2010, 06:35:43 UTC

That was a good year. I was there briefly. The pants were uncomfortable.

[Video] just_asplanned December 27 2010, 06:42:32 UTC

*That gets a faint raised eyebrow.* In the year briefly?
