 [ When the feed clicks on.. Curtis is soaked.  He looks pretty pissed about it, too, as his eyes focus to the dark cloud above him. Rain continues to fall down on him as his glare hardens. Some people were going to find this so funny; he probably should have chosen audio. ]

I don't know what the fuck it is, but if anyone can tell me how to make it stop I'd appreciate it.  [ And he continues to stare up, almost hopefully, before shaking his head and running his hand down his face.

His wet hand. Down his wet face.

It isn't as productive as he'd hoped it would be. ]

I wanted to ask about jobs in this place.  Is there a bar or... anything.. that's hiring?

Are you all right?

[mrbackwards]

Fucking peachy.

[likeboudica]

You do not sound it.

[mrbackwards]

I've got a fucking cloud that's been raining on my head for the past hour.

[signatures]

I don't think anyone will hire you like that.

[mrbackwards]

The cloud'll be fucking gone when this is over.

How do you know?

[designedtoparty]

Does this mean I start getting free drinks again?

[mrbackwards]

No. [ Sob. All the raining. ]

[designedtoparty]

Aw. Come on, man. Just a few here and there. They wouldn't even know.

[valentineluke]

What kind of bartending experience do you have?

[mrbackwards]

Ran one back home.

[valentineluke]

High, medium, or low end?

[invisibilities]

[There is a whine. That doesn't look at all fun, Curtis. Big, familiar green eyes are staring at the video screen with concern.]

[video]

[mrbackwards]

[ He's just. Staring. ]

Do I know you?

[video]

[charring]

[There is a faint yelp and a wag of her tail. Yes. Yes, you do. Think, Curtis. Think. She at one point got ahold of a magazine about camping and tore out a picture of fire and decided now was a good time to see if people made the association if she held it up. So, she's doing so. Waiting patiently.]

That's taking a dark cloud above your head a little literally, don't you think?

[mrbackwards]

Everyone else seems to think so.

[ She's not laughing. It does look uncomfortable and if it was happening to her? She'd hate it. But, it's not. ]

Oh, don't be like that, it's -- really -- well, it's inconvenient. Did this start today?... Is it a curse?
