64th Gear... Fresh air and a freefall. [Video]

Jan 22, 2012 11:44

[Good morning, Nautilus! The camera is rolling from somewhere high over the city in the Northern District, specifically from a platform up in the branches of the giant tree supporting the Great Library. Up on that platform is Rex, dressed in his usual gear and taking a moment to pull his goggles into place. Noting the camera watching him, he ( Read more... )

... [ She so shouldn't have been watching that while trying to eat. But hey, best way to diet ever? ]

... having fun?

[ She promises not to hurl despite the slight greenness of her face. Eugh, what is food even. Something about /seeing/ the ground spiraling up vs actually doing it makes her stomach rebel a bit. ]

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 03:45:53 UTC

Yep! Figured I could use the rush after the last few weeks I've had. Clear my head, get some adrenaline going...

[Voice] sonic_blasts January 23 2012, 13:52:43 UTC

Huh. Well it beats blogging. [ That's probably how Stephanie Meier got her start. >.> ]

... glad to see you're feeling better.

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 17:02:30 UTC

I do keep a daily journal, but no argument there. This is definitely a lot more fun!

Good to be feeling better. And Circe? ...sorry about, you know, all the arguing I did with you before.

...well, that's definitely one way to wake up.

[If Peter's fazed at all by the acrobatics, he certainly doesn't look it. Or sound it. Probably because he used to do crap like this on a daily basis]

I take it you're feeling better? Since we last "talked," I mean.

[And by "talked" he means "you put on your best apathetic face and got into an argument with Ben, Dana, and what seemed like half the city."]

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 03:50:07 UTC

Oh, hey.

[Probably didn't make the best impression the first time around. Not that he could help it, but still... Time to try for a better second impression?]

Yeah, a lot better. Still trying to work out a few problems, but there's always something.

Sorry about what happened. You know, before. I literally wasn't myself.

Re: [Voice] wonhimself January 23 2012, 04:52:25 UTC

Don't worry about it, I know how that goes. I...wasn't exactly myself for a while back home, either.

[Hope you don't mind Rex, but he'll put off the whole "don't let an alien lifeform attach itself to your body and eat away at your free will" talk until another day]

Everything alright now, at least?

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 05:30:32 UTC

Hopefully not in the same way I wasn't myself.

[Not going to pry for details, necessarily. Just sayin'.]

Yeah, mostly.

Oh, uh... I didn't even get your name before, I don't think? Mine's Rex. Rex Salazar.

[Ben actually watched the whole thing from atop one of the buildings. Glad to see Rex is back to his old self. Have a grin.]

Show off.

[Ofcourse, now he wants to try it too.]

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 03:51:31 UTC

[Got it in one, Ben. He does love to show off and he hasn't done in it in a while. You all were overdue for seeing him pull some kind of stunt...]

If you got it, sometimes you just gotta flaunt it!

[Voice] crazylikefawkes January 23 2012, 06:09:03 UTC

When you've got it, flaunt it!
Step right out and strut your stuff!
People tell you modesty's a virtue...
But! In the theatre, modesty can hurt you.

You seem to be much more yourself, Rex, and I am glad of it.

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 06:33:26 UTC

[The response is laughter. Lots of it!]

Nicely done, V, and yeah. I'm definitely getting there. Helps that I've got awesome friends to get me through bad times like that.

[Besides being dizzying, it's scary how close Rex gets to smashing into the ground. Geez, Rex, would it kill you to be a bit more cautious? Still...]

Schway hobby. Do it often?

[Or just after something like the Nobody incident. Also, is this really safer than blowing up monsters? But, since he's enjoying it, she's not going to say any of that.]

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 04:02:20 UTC

Not real often, but I felt like I needed the rush this morning. Get my heart pounding and the adrenaline pumping through my veins!

I get fewer physical challenges here than I did at home, where my job sometimes involved air drops.

[Video] quality_friend January 23 2012, 04:06:41 UTC

Missed that feeling, huh?

[She'll leave it up to him if she's referring to home or his Nobody phase.]

Why air drops? Couldn't they land?

[Video] naniteknight January 23 2012, 04:22:54 UTC

Definitely.

Sometimes if I was going in somewhere by myself, it was just easier. Fly over the area, let me air drop in and save the time of landing and drawing too much attention.

And sometimes in our line of work at home? Too dangerous. If the ground is swarming with hostile EVOs, it makes it hard to land jump jets.

[Death picks up a piece of paper after writing something in his usual print, large enough to fill the entire sheet:]

[Rex turns on the video long enough to flash a double thumbs up at Death!]

Thanks, dude!

[Video] lastminutestuff January 23 2012, 05:42:46 UTC

[Death grins back.]

IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU IN HIGH SPIRITS.

[Voice] naniteknight January 23 2012, 06:07:01 UTC

Yeah, I'm gettin' there. Still...kinda having moments? You know. Reactions that are still a little over the top to stuff that shouldn't matter. Just what happens when you go from feeling nothing to absolutely everything, I guess.
