[Video Post]
[The recording starts, but when the usual Network dust settles, there's still not all that much to see: just a shabby room--and "shabby" in a very old-fashioned sense, with all its old furniture and raw wood. There's a little shaking and settling as the device is set down, propped open and left viewing the room before it. There's the back of a chair straight ahead, pushed into the table on which the device has been set. There's a window, with a view of a few rooftops and then the Wilderness beyond. The foot of a bed can be seen, as can part of a dresser and mirror (with the usual things set on both of them). A wide-brimmed and tan-colored hat hangs from the bedpost. A (potentially) more familiar (and more battered) brown one can almost be seen on top of the dresser.

Nothing else to see. But there are a few footsteps to hear. Jingling ones--if that's any indication as to whose device it might be that's recording. If you don't know, don't worry: he's coming into view now. But all dressed up--a dark blue shirt (it even has some little white pattern sewn into it), brown trousers (and not jeans either; pity you can't see the boots into which he has tucked the legs of his pants), even a long black silk scarf for a neckerchief (looped up and knotted almost like a tie, but never that tight)...no gunbelt yet, but he gives the device a look that's almost a smile (clearly this was an intentional recording this time) and reaches over and behind it. Something heavy and metal moving there... There's the belt and the gun, too, with the rattlesnake done in silver on the grips (looks almost polished). He settles that as he likes on his hips, still almost-smiling at his device, and turns then to the mirror to fuss with that silk neckerchief for a second. (Cuz every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.)

How'd he get the clothes? With money, of course. (Actually, he got them for Tony Stark's party back in December, but they're still good. This is Cowboy Formal, so far as he's concerned, thank you.)

Well, too much fussing and you ruin things, right? He's content enough, though he's disappeared from view for the moment to collect somethi--oh, there it is. That would be a tan-colored coat, fairly long, almost like a frock coat (though almost as if one were made based on an explanation of a frock coat to someone who had never seen one), and certainly in infinitely better condition than the tan, flannel-lined duster he's been wearing all winter. Much better (if you ignore the fact that he's cut the pockets open on the inside--this is necessary). It even fits him, as can be seen as he gets the lapels good and settled in the mirror.

That's pretty much perfect. So in one fell swoop he collects the (new) hat, sets that on his head as pleases him, indulges in some vanity at the mirror for an instant more, and then turns back to the device.

And, yes, this time there is a smile...and a wink...and a sharp snap as the device is closed and the recording is cut off and the whole thing is thrown back into the darkness and dust that one must assume litters the whole of the Network when it isn't in use and the view turns simply to black in a--]

[ooc: Cut due to ridiculous RPer self-indulgence. Cough cough. So, if you know TGtB&tU, think of his outfit in the first few scenes in which he appears (see also: the icon on this post). ...because that costume... I wanna touch it. That coooooooooat. I want to chew on the hem of that coat 9~9]

boutant: ([curious] all the questions)

[personal profile] boutant 2012-02-06 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
You wore that at the gala, didn't you?
boutant: ([architect] hmmm)

[personal profile] boutant 2012-02-06 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
It looks good. I don't think I said so then.
boutant: ([smile] architecture)

[personal profile] boutant 2012-02-06 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
It was. Fun, though.

[ There's a slight laugh. ]

Yeah, at least there's that.
boutant: ([default] I must be looking for somethin)

[personal profile] boutant 2012-02-06 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I want to.

Probably.

I'm not really big on the dressing up thing, I guess, but it's nice to just... take a night and not worry about things.
boutant: ([default] leather)

[personal profile] boutant 2012-02-06 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

Still not having many problems with the sand?
boutant: ([unsure] you really think so?)

[ Someone get this girl a cowboy-to-English dictionary. ]

I think it put a hole in my couch.
boutant: ([wet] lost)

[personal profile] boutant 2012-02-06 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ /holds out hands ]

I have no idea, but the edges of the hole are definitely sandy.
boutant: ([unsure] o_o)

[ Well, Ariadne is more than willing to test it out. ]

I... guess it did, yeah.
boutant: ([unsure] are we going to die?)

"Something else"?
boutant: ([default] nothing's real)

It's City sand.
