[This is one of the few times anyone will ever catch Malcolm in anything other than his full suit. He's washed up and mostly dressed-plain white undershirt, trousers. He's shaving and getting ready to greet the day.]

[Paddy got up early or went to bed really, really late to avoid running into anyone in the showers. So, when he came out, towel draped over his head, still doing his shirt up and toothbrush unceremoniously being held in his mouth, he was a little surprised to run into Malcolm.]

Mmph. Mawnin... [this was the point where he had finished doing up his shirt, so could yank the toothbrush out of his mouth to correct himself.] Morning.

[Slightly startled, Malcolm nicks himself with the razor.]

Ow. Fuck.

[As he inspects the tiny cut:] Almost fucking understood you better with the fucking toothbrush.

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom christ_onabike April 28 2010, 18:58:06 UTC

Sorry, mate. [Paddy puts the toothbrush down on a sink and ruffles the towel through his hair,]

Not fucking apologising for the accent. And you've got some fucking room to talk.

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom f_ckitybye April 28 2010, 19:44:41 UTC

[Malc resumes shaving again, carefully avoiding the nick.]

I am perfectly fucking intelligible, mate. There's not a fucking soul in Whitehall who misunderstands me when I tell 'em I'm gonna rip off their fucking ears if they don't stick to the party line.

[Malc's in cheerful-bullshitting mode at the moment. The annoyances of the day haven't really had a chance to set in. He rinses the razor and bends down over the sink to rinse the last bits of shaving cream from his face.]

And there's not a fucking soul on the estate that doesn't know what I'm fucking saying when I want them to fucking pay up.

[Paddy shrugged and pulled the towel off his head and glanced in the mirror,] Guess people underfuckingstand what they need to.

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom f_ckitybye April 28 2010, 19:52:48 UTC

Some concepts are fucking universal, like the threat of imminent fucking harm.

[Malcolm towels off his face, checks his nicked chin again. Blots the tiny droplet of blood there and goes to put on his shirt and tie.]

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom christ_onabike April 28 2010, 19:54:33 UTC

It's a pretty fucking obvious one - although my fucking voice implies imminent fucking harm to some people.

[Paddy gives his hair a quick ruffle in the mirror and then folds his towel neatly.]

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom f_ckitybye April 28 2010, 20:07:26 UTC

[Malcolm notes the towel-folding but doesn't say anything about it. Paddy's unexpected tidiness amuses him.]

Aye, well, you and me both.

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom christ_onabike April 28 2010, 20:11:36 UTC

[Paddy shrugs, picks up the toothbrush and gives Malcolm a nod on his way out, saying a little cheekily behind him,] Bet nobody's actually pissed themselves at the sound of your voice, though, mate.

[Actually happened. No, Malcolm, you don't get to know the circumstances.]

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom f_ckitybye April 28 2010, 20:13:16 UTC

[Malcolm chuckles as he puts the final straightening touches on his tie.]

Don't be so fucking sure of that.

[He nods to Paddy on his way out, checks his hair, and then heads back to his room to grab his jacket before heading up for breakfast.]

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom namorofthesea April 28 2010, 23:18:42 UTC

Namor, on the other hand, is fully dressed in his daily attire, a small, green fish scale speedo with a gold belt and armbands. He, too, was shaving his face, the one part of his body aside from his scalp to actually have hair.

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom f_ckitybye April 29 2010, 03:02:50 UTC

[Malcolm sets down his kit and does a double-take at the sight of Namor. Then decides to just try and play it normally, like all the other insane shit he's encountered on the Barge.]

Morning.

6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom namorofthesea April 29 2010, 21:09:11 UTC

"Good morning," he replied, finishing up his shaving before splashing his face with water to rinse it off, the splashing his gills for good measure.

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom f_ckitybye April 29 2010, 21:20:34 UTC

Malcolm glanced over at him a few more times, and finally his curiosity got the better of him.

"Where you from, then? Atlantis?"

A total shot in the dark, in fact.

Re: 6:30 AM - Men's communal bathroom namorofthesea April 29 2010, 22:40:56 UTC

"Yes." A shot in the dark that was absolutely correct. "I assume you are a surface dweller?"

Everyone else there was, after all.
