12∙00∙00 ☇ video. (red light, green light curse)

[saidrepent]

[Raymond looks as though he's only recently settled in again, not having had the chance to shower or sleep properly just yet. Clearly whatever he has to say must be of the utmost importance.]

Haven't been back in the City for an hour and already all I can think about is all the action that didn't happen this month — and of course I have to tell the whole network all about it.

Of course.

[He sighs. Dramatically.] That desert was hell, but at least there weren't any curses like this.

If you needed a gun you could've asked.

[saidrepent]

[A pause.]

Why would I need a gun? [Unless he's being metaphorical, which Raymond...really hopes is not the case.]

[orangetoughguy]

For proactive protection?

[saidrepent]

[Uhh.]

I didn't mean that kind of action. [And another pause.] Besides, I still have my own gun.

[orangetoughguy]

[....]

Oh. Wow.

[saidrepent]

Yeah.

[At least he doesn't have to elaborate any further. He hopes.]

[orangetoughguy]

Maybe you need to loosen up. [Wait, clarify!] I mean relax, you know, not be so uptight around people.

[saidrepent]

If it wasn't for the curse, I wouldn't even care. [See, he's catching on.]

[orangetoughguy]

Bull fuckin' shit, every man cares.

[saidrepent]

Trust me, it's possible to get tired of the game once you've hit your sixth or seventh decade. [Or sooner, in his case.]

[orangetoughguy]

For a guy who talks like he's played a hundred hands it don't sound like you clean out the house much.

[saidrepent]

[What.]

I've played enough hands. Either way, it's none of your business.

[orangetoughguy]

Hey I'm just helping out.

[saidrepent]

I never asked for any help.

[orangetoughguy]

That could be the first step you need to take.

[saidrepent]

Really. [He purses his lips for a moment.]

The first step I need to take towards what, exactly?

[orangetoughguy]

Learning how to kick back and chill out? Then get laid cause chicks aren't worried you're gonna freeze up in'em?

[saidrepent]

If I actually wanted to get laid — outside the influence of a curse — then I wouldn't have any trouble getting it. Without help.

[orangetoughguy]

Buuut....you don't want to get laid....normally? Help me out here I'm trying to speak your language.

[saidrepent]

It's not exactly on my list of priorities. [Except during curses like this, but, well. He figures that goes without saying.]

[orangetoughguy]

Oh yeah? Give me ten priorities, right here right now.

[signatures]

What kind of City were you in to not see any action?

(action)

[archivy]

[ Just looking at him. With this face. ]

[saidrepent]

You'd just be listening to me list "get out of the City" ten times.

[Though really, at this point, protect the Archive is somewhere on there too, but he figures Orange doesn't need to know about that.]

[saidrepent]

[He rolls his eyes before repeating himself:] Not that kind of action.
