038 (Voice/Video) And, all the while, coyote keeps on singing....

Jun 26, 2010 23:31

[There's some scratching sounds on the microphone and what to human ears will sound like a frustrated dog's growling is actually Gabriel swearing and trying to urge HIS NEWFOUND PAWS to operate the controls on his journal. After a moment of cojoling, the video clicks on and there's an EXTREME CLOSE-UP OF A PAIR OF AMBER EYES AND A SNOUT... And then ( Read more... )

[!] this could be worse, [!] likes hearing himself talk, [!] flood time is my least favorite time, [!] fiddling while rome burns

[Some doggy snuffling as he messes with his communicator. Then, SAM'S WEARY VOICE comes out of this little guy.]

It's official. We might as well be living in Looney Tunes.

[Thankfully, Gabriel no longer has the facial muscles to make the face he really wants to make at you right now, Sam. WHO IS A TINY DOGGY? YOU ARE. Yes. He definitely got the good straw out of this port.]

Where's your sense of adventure, Snoopy?

[YEAH, SEE. IT'S ONLY FUNNY WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING. He's good this time.]

[Sam lets out a little sigh.]

Left it back in port, I reckon. Y'know, when my head got bashed in.

[PAUSE. He sniffs the air.]

Although. This is sorta... [HMM.] D'you smell that?

[Gabriel scratches his ear with his hindleg, which is surprisingly awkward to do in a chair. It doesn't actually have an itch... Just when you have hindlegs that can reach your ears, you sorta just wanna try it. Look, in all his shapeshifting years, turning into an animal.. Never occurred to him. He figured the original Loki did that enough for him to... Justify never doing it again.]

Oh right. I forgot, considering I spent the whole time... Y'know what? Never mind. [YEAH. ANYWAY.]

Yeah, it's called the Barge. I can smell that much even when I have opposable thumbs.

[Growling, scritching, and then a Murphyvoice.] At least we can talk.

There's a small favour.

For some reason I'm not surprised we're all canine.

Makes me wonder what Cissie's turned--

[PAUSE. He sees her reaction in this very post.]

Well, that's not fair.

[Cissie's just kind of... staring. That's a coyote.]

...So this flood is turning the Barge into a zoo, then.

painhumbles June 27 2010, 05:02:40 UTC

[It's a Cissie! Gabriel puts his paws up on the table and looks... You know. Adorable. Yeah. The predatory animal is adorable. Like the tiny archangel is adorable. Pfft.]

Looks like. See you missed this one. Too bad. It's actually kinda freeing.

[All of that just... Sounded like a series of yaps, really. Gabriel does not know this.]

notarrowette June 27 2010, 05:07:05 UTC

[And Cissie... continues to look flabbergasted. Because she thinks maybe the wild animal is trying to communicate, and that's just nutty.]

...Well, this is special.

painhumbles June 27 2010, 05:12:01 UTC

[And Gabriel thinks that was actually directed at his comment and is just gonna keep talking.]

....What? Okay. So I have a bad kneejerk reaction to floods. So sue me. I like being the guy, running these party wagons. This one just happens to be kinda hilarious... And not the kind at my expense, either.

[At least squirrels have finger-like paws, so there's not so much trouble with Bruce's comm. Though now the keys are bigger and there's that annoyance when dealing with a keyboard that's not familiar, but there are bigger issues now, Bruce, so focus.]

Uh. How exactly could this be worse? ...Besides, er. Zombies. Randomly showing up. While we're like this. ...Or, um. Oh, lord.

[Yeah, his brain is running through all the possible permutations of how this could be worse. Each scenario is more outlandish and horribly ending than the last. SOMEONE BREAK HIM OUT OF HIS LOOP, PLEASE.]

[video] painhumbles June 27 2010, 05:16:47 UTC

[SQUIRREL.

...Okay, moment over. Time to break Bruce out of his fugue state.]

Eh. For me anyway. I might, I could be a squirrel.

W-well there's th- [Yeah, it hasn't hit Bruce that he's a tiny, prey animal yet.

...Oh. Now he still gives you a 8| Gabe. ...Minus his nose twitching.] Hey now, at least I have. Fingers. ...Fingerish. Things. Kind of. [And look! He's pointing at you. With his fingerpaws.]

[Gabriel shakes his head.]

And I have telekinesis. I still win.
