[See Badou.

See Badou (looking very tired) clad in overalls, his clothes, skin, and hair covered in grit and sawdust and dried sweat and various other construction-related residue. His nose looks kind of sunburned.

See Badou light a cigarette and take a good long drag before speaking.]Yo, construction workers! My fellow Vikinglandians! Whoever- ( Read more... )

[And here, Germany deadpans at you, as is his usual.]

... Ah.

You may work at night if you please. I believe Tassadar does.

Erm. I will see to the lamps.

[Way to make things anti-climactic there, big guy.]

Uh, who now?

[Video] thebestandwurst May 16 2010, 10:43:00 UTC

Tassadar. Ten-foot alien. It would be hard for you to miss him.

[Casual drag on his cigarette, and a vague sort of gesturing.]

The uh, big glowy-eyes thing? Yeah. Sure, I've seen it.

You know, I've just never talked to it.

...It does talk, huh?

... Not gonna give any specifics when asking for someone with one of the most common names around?

[audio] smokeeasy May 14 2010, 11:05:02 UTC

Yeah, well, I'm only looking for one.

[audio] bulletcarnage May 14 2010, 11:07:47 UTC

Yeah, but what if several hundred start looking at you?

[audio] smokeeasy May 14 2010, 11:11:33 UTC

Man, how many guys you know around here named Dave?

[He raises a hand in a thumbs up to the camera while he takes a drag on his smoke. Much to his chagrin, there's a visible tremor in his hand. Damn. Lowers his hand from view with an exhaled puff of smoke. Yeah, okay, not even gonna bother trying to cover these nerves up.]

I've gotta be blowing this whole thing outta proportion, man. No way I'm really gonna get an answ--

[He cuts himself short. Another feed is coming in on another line. He swallows hard... Time to face the music, as it were.]

I'll keep you posted.

[There's a few moments delay and Badou seemingly trying to keep up the appearance of nonchalance. Then he reaches over and switches the feed to private, and his expression falls.]

Shit. I can't do this. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to say now? "Hi, I think I'm your brother, and you're dead"?

[VOICE] smokeyou_out May 14 2010, 17:31:23 UTC

[there's a slight pause as he thinks about why this guy might be calling him out -- but then again, it doesn't really matter all that much. he looks ... like someone Dave has seen before. But...not? he shrugs that off and goes into a Voice Feed, just because he likes it over the Video function.]

Aaah? Why're you calling me out, kiddo?

[Video] smokeeasy May 15 2010, 06:27:00 UTC

[Well fuck. You just gave him chills all over, okay? This can't really be real, right? He can't seriously think that this is real. ...Does the fact that it's still just the guy's voice and not his face on screen constitute plausible deniablity? Or is this getting into the realm of just plain denial.

He wonders if he looks like he's just seen a ghost and realizes that he probably does. Tries to cover it up with a laugh which sounds nervous in spite of his intentions otherwise.]

Well you didn't tell me your name, ya know.

Call it a shot in the not-quite dark. But hey, it got your attention.

[VOICE] smokeyou_out May 15 2010, 15:29:45 UTC

Word travels, yeah? But you got my attention. There somethin' you want?

[Video] smokeeasy May 15 2010, 23:25:58 UTC

[He takes a good long drag on his smoke. This is all just too surreal. And well, shit, he'd psyched himself up for not getting an answer. He hadn't figured out what to say if he did get an answer. What is he supposed to just blurt it out or some shit? He opens his mouth to speak.]

........

[And freezes up. After a long moment, he manages an ever so articulate,] Uh..... No, just, you know, wanted to see how you're holding up. Adjusting to the climate an all that.

[Oh, great, well that was super smooth.]

... Working at night would be pointless. It's always hot here.

[Video] smokeeasy May 15 2010, 23:29:35 UTC

Yeah well, all things relative, it's a helluva lot cooler at night, man.

I mean 80 feels pretty damn chilly when you've just spent a buncha hours out under 106 degree sun.

[Video] would_be_knight May 16 2010, 00:22:50 UTC

80 is hot enough that it doesn't matter if it's twenty degrees below something else.

[Video] smokeeasy May 16 2010, 07:54:15 UTC

[He looks momentarily surprised by this. Maybe this guy just hasn't been here that long yet and his body hasn't adjusted or something? Or maybe he just spends all his time inside in the air-con. As far as Badou's concerned though, after the heat of the day, 80's practically brisk sweater weather.]

Look, man, you wanna work out there with the sun blazing down on your shoulders and your skin cooking on your back 'cause you say it makes no nevermind, you can be my guest. But if I'm gonna break my damn back, I'd rather do it without Captain Sun-Laughing-Face slowly tanning my hide to leather.
