[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... )

[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?

[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.]

[VOICE] smokeyou_out May 16 2010, 00:36:03 UTC

Hahaha, adjusting to the climate?

[he sounds like he's taking a drag of his own]

I think I already got a sunburn. I'm gonna have to find som'a that SPF 300 I heard about, I've got shitty white skin that burns like bread stuck in a broken toaster.

[Video] smokeeasy May 16 2010, 07:44:29 UTC

[Small talk is easier. Way easier. He laughs a little.] You and me both.

[But then that's just a reminder of how the similarities are stacking up on all sides. He makes an oblique gesture towards feeling out the subject he wants to broach.]

And, uh, what about all the other crazy this place brings? You know, different world, different time, different histories--that junk.

[VOICE] smokeyou_out May 16 2010, 16:19:09 UTC

Hahaha. Well, what do you think? It's weird, yeah. But I can deal.

[Video] smokeeasy May 16 2010, 18:23:01 UTC

[He sighs.]I think maybe it's about to get weirder.

[He falters again. He simply can't bring himself to say flat out "I'm your brother." Especially not like this.]

Look, I can guess how this is probably gonna sound, but...er, I--

Would you meet me somewhere? [Ah, crap. That just sounds like he's asking the guy out on a damn date.] I mean, could we maybe talk face to face?

[VOICE] smokeyou_out May 16 2010, 18:44:17 UTC

Haaah?

[a beat]

Hahaha, well, why not. Only if ya promise to buy me a fancy dinner, though, I ain't a cheap date.

[a bark of laughter and a slow exhale]

[Video] smokeeasy May 16 2010, 20:16:54 UTC

[Crooked smile.] And here I was gonna suggest DeathDonalds.

[He takes a good long drag on his smoke, knowing that he hasn't really passed any hurdles at all, but feeling like he has nonetheless.]

Tell you what. We go to Bitch's Brew tomorrow after work. I'll buy the drinks. Think you're gonna need 'em.

[VOICE] smokeyou_out May 16 2010, 21:18:27 UTC

[he catches that last part, just barely, and wonders on it briefly, but lets it go. he'll see tomorrow, won't he?]

Sounds like we got a game plan, then.

[Video] smokeeasy May 17 2010, 16:21:12 UTC

[A little shocked that he's even gotten this far. He tries (not completely successfully) to force an expression of neutrality onto his face. But he's gotta take a good long drag on his smoke just to steady himself, just for getting this far.]

Y-yeah. Cool. I'll see you then.

[OOC: There's a log up for us here. I figure we can start with Badou and Crane, and then Dave can come in after Badou is well and truly gassed. \o/]

[VOICE] smokeyou_out May 18 2010, 03:15:21 UTC

Hahaha. I'll see ya, kiddo. Unless you decide to skip out on me so you don't gotta pay a bill.

[ooc; sounds brilliant to me! I might be a tad slow because of work, but I'll be sure to hit that up.]

[Video] smokeeasy May 21 2010, 05:47:55 UTC

[That gets a crooked but genuine smile from him.]

Heh. Never happen, man. Never happen.

[And so saying, he switches off the feed so that he can pace around his apartment for a bit.]

[OOC: At least I won't have the market cornered on slow then? lol Log is moving slowly so far (as only logs can) but I will drop you a note as soon as we're ready for Dave to come save Badou's ass. XD ]
