[Video] Week 34 - Friday Evening

[wisdom_of_hounds]

So about this fog...

[Hey guys, there's a redhead on your network looking magnificently scruffy. That is full Irish beard right there. Actually... that's way more than a week's growth for those of you that knew he was leaving. He's currently sprawled out on the stone floor of his cavern hideaway, holding his arm up so the video's looking down on him.]

I was hoping to make it back into town today but apparently Verdana had other ideas. [And there's a knowing smirk that comes with that because he at least has spent most of the last weeks (as far as he knows) talking to her.]

So, I don't know when I'm going to be able to get back but... [His free hand comes up to thread through his shaggy crimson curls.] Anyone out there good with a pair of scissors?

[Private to Lyall]

As soon as this damn fog clears we need to go hunting... Oberon is bored out of his mind and we both need to stretch our legs. You in?

Well, that's what corporate jets with satellite uplinks are designed for... but I admit I've pretty much gone right through jet lag to some strange other side by now. Or I did before ending up here, at least.

[Pepper's good cheer falters for a moment, as hopeful thoughts of getting home get tangled up in concerns about how seamlessly she might be able to adapt after all this time. Smile reinforcing itself, she moves on.]

But the corporate world is a lot more boring than the movies paint it as. What part of Arizona are you from?

[He can understand that little pang of homesickness, it’s one he’s been familiar with long before showing up here, after all. He doesn’t comment, just lets her pull that smile back into place and keep going. It’s really all you can do.]

Somehow I doubt the life of a bookseller from Tempe is much more interesting. [Not that that’s exactly what he is but… she doesn’t need to know that.]

Oh, I don't know...

[Pepper's smile is still small, but a little more genuine as time passes.]

I didn't spring fully-formed from the forehead of the accounting pool, so I've done my time working retail. Comparing the similarities between entitled board members and entitled customers could be good for a laugh some time.
