"The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity."

[ neal's not quite back to his fighting weight, but he looks a whole lot better (and a whole lot less crazy, natch) than his last network outing.

he's also fussing with the cuffs on his devore, because you never go to battle without your best armor, right?

metaphorical, of course. ]

Wise words from a wise lady. [ and now with a slowy flip, he sets a fedora on his head and gives the camera a smile that's lovely lovely lovely and just a bit barbed. ] Résumé seemed apt, too, but a little dark given the occasion.

So, how was the month off, Tranquility? --and welcome to the new additions, of course. Watch out for Kardashians.

[ neal stop telling the ren faire kardashians are a horrible demon from your world, son, it's not as funny as you think.

also: one more hat flip because he can and we're out, tq. welcome back to the airwaves. ]

"Four be the things I'd been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt."

[ hey, someone said dorothy parker.

ava just matches neal's smile with an ever-so-slightly-vicious one of her own. she likes you on principle, disney prince with a really great suit who also casually quotes dorothy parker. this is a new and unfamiliar feeling for her and THAT MEANS NEAL SHOULD STOP IT THIS INSTANT. ]

Honestly, I for one didn't miss the network at all—but I'm sure I'll be able to struggle on now that it's back.

Two hat flips was gilding the lily, by the way.

"That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment."

[ ava go away before young girl starts playing spontaneously that song is really creepy when you listen to the lyrics okay. ]

Ah, but you haven't seen the thirteen millionth post covering the same information covered previously. You haven't lived until you've seen that.

I like to think of it as-- punctuation. [ and another hat flip and a grin that might as well be gap-toothed for how grossly perfectly adorable (and practiced) it is.

so sue him. ]

I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound--if I can remember any of the damn things.

And here I was, thinking I'd been doing fairly well with life experiences just by, well. Living in space. I might just die of excitement, now that I know I have endless repetitions of the same information in store while I'm here.

[ the most doe-eyed-innocent deadpan.

she will just carefully not mention that those life experiences are things like 'cleaning up after oneself' and 'having a tiny room' and 'not being able to order chinese food at 2am'. shhhh. ]

Oh, don't say that. Now I'll be disappointed when you don't end every message you send on the network with a fedora flip. [ SERIOUSLY. YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW, MISTER. STOP BEING CHARMING. ]

[ the most delicate sigh ] You're losing all the points you got for the suit, you know. Taylor?

[ right idea, wrong designer. not bad for a teenage girl from 2036. ]

...Devore, but I almost like you better for the mistake.

Old Blue Eyes is an idol of mine.
