[Hey Barge, you're currently being treated to a close-up of a hand.  Not a very helpful shot, is it.

No problem, it clears up a few minutes later, to be replaced with 15-year-old Richie, staring at the screen like it's the most fascinating thing he's ever seen.  He's even got that same vacantly engrossed expression just about every girl he's come ( Read more... )

It's official; I'm sick of snow.  You can take it away now, I'm done.

[Private to not-Santa]

( Seth, Will, Lua, and Claire, as well as selfish wants he probably shouldn't be granted. )

[Anyone paying attention is treated to a good thirty seconds of humming -- "Jingle Bell Rock" at first but then "Do They Know It's Christmas" -- but it stops abruptly when he actually finds his train of thought.]

..Is there a word for when you get a song stuck in your head, but every time you get to one part it turns into something else?  And it ( Read more... )

[Backdated to closer to the end of the flood because I meant to post this sooner and...didn't?

Have Richie on screen, clearly pretty darn pleased about the whole Flood in general.]

That?

Fucking.  Awesome.

I mean, I'm not really much for history, it's all dates and places and shit that doesn't matter when you're doing the day to day thing.  The Battle ( Read more... )

Now what do we have here.  I get what's goin' on here, don't think I don't.

This here's what we call an Indian trade; you let me think I'm gettin' you this big bad schnitzel-eatin' sonuvabitch when really you're just handin' us all back over to the Krauts.  Thought you could get one over on me, dintcha.  Well HA, 'cause the joke's on you, now ain't ( Read more... )

[The camera shows the ceiling of his room and all its varied cracks, and...that's it.  Off-camera you can hear Richie shouting at...something and the occasional crash of one thing or another toppling from its usual spot.  The camera view shakes once, then stills again.

Fortunately he doesn't actually have that many belongings to break.]

Stay. Still. ( Read more... )

[Accidental Visual]

[Viewers can't see much; the communicator's on the floor after he abandoned it there earlier, meaning it's mostly ceiling and the side of the bed.  There's an arm and a leg draped over the side towards the camera, fingers tapping against the fabric rhythmically as if to some song in his head while the leg just dangles.  There's a ( Read more... )

[The last thing Richie remembers is being in Lua's room.  And mostly boredom broken up by periodic forced trips to the kitchen because she didn't trust him left alone; she never said it, but he figured it out on his own anyway.  A lecture (or what generally passed for one from Lua, anyway) after he ransacked the room once while looking for ( Read more... )

You got your education from just hanging around
You got your brain from a hole in the ground
You come on up, look around for a will of your own
But you're mine

[A/N: Hey, look! I did things while the power's out! ...No, not a post because I am a week behind in game plot, BUT. I did fill a Korrin!prompt! Because I had nothing more exciting to do ( Read more... )
