2nd brick | video;

[dirtyword]

Got quick questions for you. Bite the barber and indulge me, dig?

[ Brendan's looking pretty uncomfortable. That's probably because he's not used to (nor does he like)video, but he figures if he's asking a public question he might as well... well. Be as public as possible. It's exactly why the film noir slang is a little more pronounced. ]

First, if the word "brick" catches, hit me on the square. That's the most important. Don't ring any bells, don't worry about it.

[ An odd shrug. He's crouched down just outside the med bay, hands hovering up to just over his chin, most of his eyes hidden behind his glasses and an unruly mop of brown hair. ]

And if anyone's got actual music--y'know, like on a casette--and want to cop it off, drop me a dime. Lookin' for Lord of the Flies, too. Paper, not hologram.

...If a guy's dizzy with a dame and that doll's got in the dutch recently, what's there to get her? He's on the nut and thick as what all, but she's pretty gowed-up.

[Oh, fucking hell no. Wilee knew something was up with that weird talking kid. Goddammit. Why didn't it occur to him earlier why that voice was so familiar? He was too caught up in trying to translate whatever Brendan said into English then, but now Wilee has no other choice but to face his physical past.]

You have got to be shitting me.

[ Brendan quirks an eyebrow, looking half unimpressed and half amused, if at all possible. Yeah, there's a reason why he went audio only, Wilee. ]

Nice to see you, too, Coyote.

[player_not_slayer]

[f r y s q u i n i n g at this post, like that'll translate it into English. Dude.

What.

The.

Flying.

Fuck.]

...What fucking century are you even from, bro?

[Seriously? Cassettes? And what the holy slanging fuck does 'in the dutch' mean. Does that mean he's knocked someone up? The shit, dude. For shame.]

He said he was from 1995. No one from 1995 talks like that.

[dirtyword]

'95. Problem, pal?

And here I thought your style of speaking couldn't make less sense then it already did, but here you are surprising me with the mess of that. Someone should make a you to English translator if you're going to keep doing this.

[ Ugh goddammit it's you. ]

Maybe you should be the one since you're not the one that understands me.

[peccadillo]

Why would you bite a barber?

[ Nothing wassup about this look... just puzzled. Why would you do that? ]

video;

[dirtyword]

No--no. Barber means talk. Bite is more to indulge. Get it?

voice;

[abrahamic]

Well, you're not an alien, but you kinda talk like one. Congrats on that.

Why cassettes?

voice;

[dirtyword]

Yeah. People keep reminding me no one talks like I do. [shrug. ]

I'm used to 'em. Or CDs, I guess. Never got a CD player.

[thenormalsquint]

Brick. Construction brick?

I'm not sure whether to hug you or brain you for reminding me that I remember when music came on cassettes.

You're asking what kind of gift to get a girl you like? I'm lost on everything else, but I think I'm there with you.

[ The brick comment gets ignored--it's not the right kind so there's no need to adress it--but the last sentence pings him. ]

Yeah. S'exactly what I'm askin'. Not a lot of options on a ship...

[jurisimpudent]

The novel Lord of the Flies? I'm afraid it's not amongst the physical books in the library.

Yeah, I checked. Real shame, never got to finish it.

[Man he so warned you about the slang thing.

Blake vaguely remembers Brendan mentioning something about a 'brick' but Brendan uses a lot of slang, and he kind of doubts they're in a place yet where he can just offer to help if he needs it. Brendan is way too independent for that.

So he'll just focus on the last part, even though it's more incomprehensible than usual.]

I feel like you're kind of asking a question for the ages there. Especially in a place like this. What do you do for the girl you like when you're both trapped on a space ship full of horrors?

Unless I completely misinterpreted that. [Which is possible.]

Eggs in the coffee. [ A pause. ]

Uh--I mean, yeah.

[throwsdown]

[He staaaares. And stares. What is he saying? What's he saying? Takeshi thinks... maybe he's just not used to grown-up talk yet. He needs to keep up, if he's gonna be independent and able to take care of himself, right?]

Um... No bricks... ringing any bells, I'll catch you--on the square. If it does!

[Why would you want a brick, it's all heavy and stuck in a wall. But he sorta' gets the square thing. He wants Takeshi to catch him there. It makes total sense, okay?]

I dunno where books are. I wish I had some with pictures... I don't have any...

oh god takeshi i can't

[dirtyword]

Don't worry about it, bucko. [ Is that a hint of a smile? It's tiny but--yeah, it's there. A small small small smile. ] You're golden.

To which part?

[testgasm]

Have you been to the media library? Loads of stuff, in there. Not sure if it's got what you want, but worth a try, I suppose.

whats so fly about this brick, mack daddy oh?

[dirtyword]

Nothing fly, just curious who's peeping 'round corners and who's got their ear to the ground.

voice; laaaate like a late thing

[handelaar]

Brick, huh. Prob'ly not the same thing, if that's the way you always talk.

voice; eee! it's ok.

[dirtyword]

What's it to you? [ Not said rudely at all--more of a 'what's it mean where you're from?' ]

later like a later thing

[bloodplay]

Maybe try charades next time. [his tone implies NAW JK if anything, though, and when he continues he tacks on, more seriously:] I've got a CD, but trust me, you don't want to hear it. What's she like?

[ Brendan's smile is thin, but at least he isn't giving him sass. A joke, Brendan can take. ]

What's on it? Maybe I know the band. And as for her.... She's a real charmer. Probably able to kick your ass, though. Sparkplug.
