XXXVI ☤ Holy sugar-rush, Batman! ☤ Hermes [Video]

[msg_ina_bottle]

[The screen clicks on to a very wide-eyed youth, the sounds of a dozen or more arcade games filling the air around him as he lifts up an orange, plastic gun before looks at the camera with as much seriousness as he can muster.]

I have to kill all the things on the screen, why don't stand still? How do you win, why doesn't it work!?

[He jumps,

[bado_nails]

Holy Crap. Slow down there kiddo'.

[He laughs, for this is far too amusing... for now anyway.]

[msg_ina_bottle]

...[What is talking....is the machine talking to him? He stares at it wide-eyed clinging to his cup of Godly Goodness. Alex said it was the drink of the gods, right? RIGHT?

....Oh Zeus, was the machine talking to him?]

I don't want to. It is mine. Mine

[bado_nails]

Uh...

Down here lover boy... the 'boy' bein' pretty relevant at the moment... God that's weird.

[msg_ina_bottle]

.....[Uh...

He turns and peers down at the screen with a long, if confused expression.]

It is still mine.

[To which he takes a nice, healthy gulp of his drink.]

[the_daybreak]

Uh, Hermes?

[msg_ina_bottle]

...[He peers at the fountain machine for a long moment, before turning to look at the faciliberry on the floor with wide eyes. What did it want? Did it want his drink of the gods? It could have it. It was his. It would just have to find it's own drink, for not god things.]

What do you want?

[the_daybreak]

Are you okay?

[msg_ina_bottle]

....[He peers at the screen a little more, finally focusing on Riku's face.]

Uh...I'm fine. Just fine. I'm playing games. You can hit things, you know. I can't kill the...things though, I keep losing. I have to be right back. You just...

You just wait right there.

[He'll be back, as he carefully disappears with is drink in his hands. He has more dinosaurs to try to kill in the Jurassic Park shooter game.]

[alma_karma]

... What's "coke"?

[msg_ina_bottle]

The nectar of the gods.

...

I need more hands.

[alma_karma]

I thought that was ambrosia...

Are you okay?

[msg_ina_bottle]

It is.

[He finally comes back over, drunk carefully held under one arm as he picks up the device from the floor and zips over to yet one more game.]

I'm fine, what are you? Are you fine? Are you lost? You're always lost. You know there is a thing here called a mall. Lots and lots of other places are here and there are so many weird things here. I found a store that cells something call batteries. I don't know what they are for, but if you put your tongue on it it tingles!

Oh...

...Nevermind.

You look like a forest monkey with too much wine.

[msg_ina_bottle]
