[Live from one of the starter apartments, it’s Saturday night. The feed starts with a thrilling view of a couch and a wall as Pickles gets up and leaves just a second after hitting record on his phone. It almost seems accidental before he starts addressing the video.]

Isn’t it supposed to be, y’know, cold here? Dat’s how it was when I was through

Are you complaining about it not being cold? This is lovely weather. At last.

[also, you too are a weird looking fella. She's going to stare at the video for a moment, before rolling her eyes] What do you need spray paint for? [curiosity. It got the better of her.]

[video]

[drinkthebleach]

I'm not complaining, I'm just shocked. Dere was snow last time I was here, believe you me. An' dat wasn't too long ago.

[And you're very pretty. He stares back before blinking owlishly at the question and realizes that the truth wasn't something he should go spreading on a public forum.] Well y'know. ...To paint things.

[video]

[namiwasheretoo]

It might be a time thing. People come form all times. Give it a bit longer. There'll be too much snow soon enough. [Loves this weather, damn it. As one might guess seeing as she dresses in bikini's and shorts half the time...]

I don't suppose they have stores where you're from... [Sarcastic reply of "check a store, idiot"... though she still wasn't used to spray paint. It didn't come in buckets. It made things easier when painting on flags though!]

[video]

[drinkthebleach]

Yeah. I'm startin' to get dat. [The whole thing about time and space being different in the Port.]

Dey do. But y'know, I could go out and do all de leg work, or I can ask around. See what's going 'round dis whole circle-jerk phone system.

[rea_norton]

Stop and search a chav. They'll have spray paint. But watch out for their knives. They're rather violent.

[drinkthebleach]

[A crease of confusion appears between his eyebrows.] Yeah. Thanks fer dat...

...What de fuck is a chav?

[rea_norton]

Well, they'regenerally really rough, and the boys have shaved hair, a lot. And lots of the girls have blonde dyed hair, and they wear pony tails on the top of their heads, and short skirts and tops that show their belly and most of their chest. And the boys and some of the girls, wear tracksuits a lot, and caps with hoods over the top and trainers and the girls wear fake tan and fake designer clothes and they're all loud and obnoxious and they hate people like me, and probably like you, too.

[drinkthebleach]

[As she goes through the anatomy of a chav, Pickles listens silently with the blank expression he often wore when Charles updated them on the business. That face lingers a couple seconds afterwards, until he lights up with recognition.]

...Ohhh. You mean douche bags!

[cowboy_newsie]

Summer's miserable, but winter's deadly. Anyway, I like the heat.

[drinkthebleach]

Hey dude.

Deadly as in freezin' yer ass off, or do we get killer snowmen or somethin' like what happens at night?

[cowboy_newsie]

Deadly as in freezin' your ass off-- though we might get killer snowmen, you never know.

[drinkthebleach]

As long as the snowmen have like, claws and sharp razor teeth and I dunno. A spike fer a nose, dat dey use to kill people. Dat would be pretty cool.

[He puts a hand to his forehead.] But I've been down dat bridge already--I mean, almost gettin' my ass frozen off an' all. Don't wanna do dat again.

[narcotizes]

Think you can be finding the soap near a motherfuckin' ablution trap, brother.

( video. )

[drinkthebleach]

[He opens his mouth like he's going to say something, and then slowly closes it.] Honest to God I have no idea what dat-- what. Uhh.

...Sorry. What de fuck are you?

( video. )

[narcotizes]

Naw, bro. Don't gotta be.

I be a troll, haha.

( video. )

[drinkthebleach]

Really?

Are you like, a baby or a midget or somethin'? Cause I swear de last troll I saw was a thousand times bigger den you.

[Toki is out wandering the streets and browsing the network like it's a catalog for furry friends and candy when he stumbles on this.]

Oh hi, Pickle! [He looks to his right.] I's standings right next to the paints what sprays.

[Video]

[drinkthebleach]

[When Toki's face appears on the NV, his first reaction is to arch an eyebrow and lean to the side to check the other room (when the fuck did Toki leave?) Then he grins.]

Kick ass. You got any money?

[Video]

[dumbgayheart]

[He looks over to the side again with a troubled look.]

I don'ts know, Pickle. I think it ams really expensive.

[Mentally scratching his beard in thought right now. He glances to the side, checking to make sure nobody was peeping inside their apartment...]
