Excuse me, everyone, but, I think that, ah... He's sick.

[Timcanpy's being help up in front of a somewhat dirty mirror by the wings; indeed, the golem's not looking too fine. it keeps baring its teeth, flailing its arms, swinging-]

[the top of Allen's face isn't viewable, but there's a definite worried twist to his mouth.]I... heard things about ( Read more... )

[Takes a picture of the Magician card for reference, making a list of names and cards.]

It's not a literal sickness. It means it's a computer bug, something that messes with the system and its functions.

... It isn't a literal bug, either, i-?

[abruptly, Timcanpy shuts his mouth, and the entire line falls dead.]

[it comes back, and even if the video is still playing, there's no sound. instead, text:]

How does it spread?

I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out. ...Everyone who has an infected NV has those cards on them too.

[Giving Timcanpy this look.] What is that?

[the rickroll cuts out, to be replaced by more of Timcanpy's fang-baring.]

[his voice is both sheepish and apologetic:] Aah, my golem. Or, well... NV, here. His name's Timcanpy.

These. [hoisting Timcanpy a bit, keeping his face out of the video again. the virus is turning the screen an awful green shade.] They're used as communicators, in my world. They are mechanical.

[Well, he was going to ask you about the lake, mate, but this is a little... distracting. Is that a Snitch?]

Er-- is your little thinger unwell, then?

video neither will I my friend so keep them coming. /continues to spam up the comm. payingthepiper June 5 2010, 22:45:38 UTC
I think so. It normally doesn't act like thi-- ouch.

[the music'd been sacrificed in favor of pearly whites chomping onto his wrist. Allen just looks sorry.]

... It's... A golem. You've never seen one?

video forever and oh what delicious spam om nom atrumcanis June 5 2010, 23:02:50 UTC
Yeah, seems a bit vicious. Might want to look into disciplining the little bugger before he gets any nastier.

...Hang on, now, I know golems. I've seen 'em. That's no golem, mate--golems are made of dirt! Y'know, large manthings with, with fists and glowing eyes! That's more of a little bird, or, well, really, a Snitch... That's what your NV looks like, then?

video forever yes. [1/2] payingthepiper June 5 2010, 23:48:51 UTC
It doesn't hurt so much, really. [as he pries Timcanpy off and bite marks are left behind. he eyes them.] It isn't like rabies, or anything.

Yes, he's... my NV. A... snitch--?

I suppose it's catchy. Less so after forty times in a row, but then it doe sort of grow back on you. [And that song is still playing in the background.]

[voice] payingthepiper June 6 2010, 04:16:50 UTC
I... can't really tell enough of what they're saying to call it very catchy...

You've never heard it before?

Apparently he's not a stranger to love. And he's never going to let her down? It's all very sweet.

But no, I haven't really heard it before these last two days. Have you?

[voice] payingthepiper June 6 2010, 06:32:07 UTC
That sounds a bit... personal. [oh, sympathy.] I can't imagine how many times you must have heard it.

Ah, same. I haven't heard... most of this music.

[Assuming this is after the slave auction thing, that means they have met at least, no? With that in mind, the girl smiles sweetly at the video]

It seems your NV is having some issues too then... so is mine.

[And it is too, note that right now her video makes her look very green as well as a bit out of focus. And... it's backwards... not that you can tell that but it is. If she reaches right it looks like shes reaching left. Not that it's important]

I remember that song though. Funny... mine hasn't played that one... ah, but I have had some interesting music playing.

It seems to be an epidemic for the NVs... [ah, he recognizes you, even if you are backwards and green; he himself seems to be upside down.]

-- You... remember that song? You mean you've heard it before? [blink. suddenly, everything's black and white.] What else have you been getting?

Reply

[oediv] controllingluck June 7 2010, 00:28:06 UTC
Oh, yes. It's a old American song... or I think it is. I've heard others playing it as well. Sadly I keep getting louder harder music then that. But only bits of it in the most strangest of times.

[blinks... the video of him just paused, rewind and played back again in fast mode. She frowned, head tilting to the right (left).]

Well... I just got you rewinding, repeating yourself in fast mode and... oh I do hope this is current. Hello?

Old? - Ah, you can't turn down your volume, either? Maybe... Would it be best to turn these in for new ones? [pause.] Strangest of-- you mean it seems to know what you're saying?

[blink blink. a not-very-familiar paperclip pops up, offers to help him, and Timcanpy's flapping his wings agitatedly.]

Ah-- yes- this is current- erm, do you know anything about, er... A... little spiral of metal? That talks?
