║ sixty-eighth stanza ║ video

[mumbled_truth]

[Hello, City. Here's Todd Anderson, looking just a bit less modest than usual. Surprise - the few years he's been in the City mean he's old enough to grow a little bit of facial fuzz (and maybe the curse is helping). His hair has also grown out a bit, and while he generally keeps it neat... today it's not. In fact, he looks like a lot like this, just a bit younger.]

Well, you do know what they say.

[His outfit, by the way, is a white button-down shirt he's neglected to button the top few buttons on, and a very nicely tailored pair of black pants with light pinstriping.]

It's the quiet ones you have to look out for.

[He smirks, winks, and cuts the feed. This boy is hitting the town. Yeah, he'll hate this tomorrow.]


[ooc: Slightly placeholderish for curse purposes! Will be getting this and also all my old tags & also ilu ♥]

Nice job with the hair.

[mumbled_truth]

Why, thank you.

And just the other day I was thinking I needed a haircut.

[totallyinaband]

Nah, it's good longer. You're rocking it.

[mumbled_truth]

Yeah... I guess I am, aren't I?

Seems like the theme, today. It's nice to see everyone feeling so good about themselves.

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, totally. Like usually I'm all shy about my appearance, and I have no idea why. I'm totally smoking hot.

[mumbled_truth]

Exactly. I'm the same way - well, shy in general, but I have no reason not to be confident.

But today I'm just seeing myself differently, you know?

[totallyinaband]

Yeah man. You look seriously hot today.

[lookjustlike]

Uh, hey, Todd. You look different.

[mumbled_truth]

Do I? Guess the confidence might be helping that.

[lookjustlike]

Yeah...well, that and the curse...Is Neil around?

[mumbled_truth]

Neil? He's on his way home, I think. Why?

[lookjustlike]

Nothing, just a little curious what he thinks about your new look. And if he has one of his own. Not that it's really my business.

[mumbled_truth]

I guess I'll just have to ask him when he gets in.

[Sounding ever so amused.]

"It's the quiet ones you have to look out for?"

voice;

[mumbled_truth]

It's a very common saying.

[Honestly, Neil.]

voice;

[had_not_lived]

If you say so.

[He'll stop trolling you on the Network, really.]

voice;

[mumbled_truth]

Well, I did, didn't I?

[Coyness. There's an odd trait for Todd to adopt.]

voice;

[had_not_lived]

Well, you are the expert.

voice;

[mumbled_truth]

On being quiet? I am, aren't I?

[He laughs.]

I have no idea why. You're right, you know. I am amazing.

[othersdie]

You too.

[mumbled_truth]

What, the confidence? Does seem popular today.

It is a nice change, though.

[othersdie]

Confidence, vanity... it's terrible outside. Thank you for wearing clothes.

[mumbled_truth]

Well, I'm not about to broadcast all that for everyone.

[And Justin is one of the few people who doesn't need an explanation for that statement.]

[othersdie]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates that.

[mumbled_truth]

No, I don't think so.

Besides, there's a lot to be said for leaving some things to the imagination.

[This will be one of his least favorite statements tomorrow.]
