yes i do.

text... to action? is_the_walrus February 28 2011, 18:06:41 UTC

got that.

[The only person behind Building Seven is a raggedy young man staring disconsolately at the package of cigarettes in his hands.]

[It takes her a while to make her way through the crowds in the City to the store and then back to Building 7, but it's still faster than a person on foot.

- Ah. There's someone waiting, it must be him. The courier pulls a PDA out of... her sleeve?, typing away as she approaches, showing him the screen when she's closer.]

lighter?

action! is_the_walrus February 28 2011, 18:17:38 UTC

[It's quick enough. He doesn't hear her approach on her too-quiet bike, but doesn't seem surprised when there's a PDA being shoved in his general direction.]

Yeah. Thanks. [He gets up to search a pocket for change.] You're a fucking lifesaver. Those crowds're hell.

action! seekinghead February 28 2011, 18:20:57 UTC

it's no problem, they're definitely annoying. here you go.

[She nods silently, moving to fish a plain zippo from her bike's pouch, handing it out to him.]

action! is_the_walrus February 28 2011, 18:24:24 UTC

Gotta be good for business.

[He takes it and lights up immediately, hands shaking. He offers her a handful of the City's coins in a variety of colors--too much for the delivery, but he doesn't seem to care.]

Nice helmet.

action! seekinghead February 28 2011, 18:27:35 UTC

it is.

[Celty looks at his hands, then back up, counting the money- and tried to hand back a few coins.]

thanks.

here. it's too much.

action! is_the_walrus February 28 2011, 18:34:01 UTC

S'posed to make you look like a cat or something?

[He refuses the money.]

Shit, take it. You need it more'n me, right? I'll be gone tomorrow. Afterlife has a fucking funny sense of humor. Sends me here with a pack of smokes and a pocket of cash and never a damn lighter. Every single time.

action! seekinghead February 28 2011, 18:38:51 UTC

i've heard that before- i just like it i guess.

[She hesitates, but then nods, putting the money in her bike pouch. Afterlife? Another pause, before she types again on her PDA]

maybe your afterlife wants you to quit?

[Without a voice, it's hard to tell if she's trying to be funny or serious.]

action! is_the_walrus February 28 2011, 18:44:37 UTC

Looks good.

[He apparently chooses to interpret the comment as a humorous one, taking a long drag before replying.]

Maybe. Maybe I'll listen to it if it tries to kill me again with lung cancer.

You got a name?

action! seekinghead February 28 2011, 18:46:23 UTC

[She gives a little shrug of her shoulders that might indicate a brief laugh of amusement, but no sound comes out.]

celty sturluson.

action! is_the_walrus February 28 2011, 18:52:42 UTC

[There are stranger things than mute cat-helmet-headed people who ride bikes and communicate via PDA.]

Celty? [The initial vowel is pronounced like an 's.' He has a fifty-fifty chance of getting it right.] Henry.

action! seekinghead February 28 2011, 19:25:39 UTC

that's right.

[Hey- he got it pronounced correctly!]

nice to meet you, henry.
