vi. wildcard/network

[ The feed begins by broadcasting one of the private rooms in communal housing, a blank space without adornment, even the bed unused. This person is very new.

The person in question sits at the desk, bright-eyed and smiling. When he speaks it's with a posh British accent. ]


Hello my loves. How are we all doing today?

[ Simon turns in his chair, one way and then the other in increments. It's a perfectly natural movement, nothing odd, but it's a tell nonetheless. He's wired in spite of appearing relaxed, upset in spite of his smile.

No one who doesn't know him very well would be able to tell.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, there's no one here who knows him that well. ]


This is an interesting situation in which we've found ourselves. Novel even for me.

[ A wink. ]

Anyone out there interested in a cocktail and a chat? I'd love to learn a bit more about our mercifully non-utilitarian surroundings.

Novel even for you, huh?

Sounds like you find yourself in 'interesting' situations often.

Welp, I don't know a helluva lot more than you do.

All I've got is what the welcome wagon spit at me, and it sounds an awful lot like the stuff they say to the orange jumpsuits coming off the school-bus back home.

Shut up, keep your head down, do your time, and maybe you'll get out on good behaviour while you've still got hair.

Never tried.

That makes you a pruno man. Pruno's the good stuff.

Fruit, candy, ketchup, sugar, milk, stale bread, hell, I've even heard of people using Cheetos, all crushed up, filtered through a dirty sock, and aged to a fine vintage of 'as long as you can get away with'.

If you're lucky, you'll catch yourself some botulism and win an all-inclusive trip to the club-fed health spa.

Me? I make sure no one gets lost and accidentally winds up in Mexico. Guess that makes me a club-fed travel agent.

There's nothing I enjoy more than surprising people at the airport with a welcome sign. I'm nice like that.

That's too bad. I'll have to keep an eye out for you then.

That makes one of us. Me and the FBI don't get on that well.

Chalk it up to creative differences.

Pleasure to meet you.

[ STARE.

STAAAARE. ]


I have a question-- and it might be a weird one, but bear with me!

[ Here goes... ]

Have you ever tried growing a beard?

[ Hello, Labrador retriever, MEET GOLDEN RETRIEVER. ]

No!

I mean, I do have a preference, and the preference is for 'beard' but not on your face! I MEAN IT'S KIND OF YOUR FACE, BUT NOT REALLY--

You look like my boyfriend, and he has a beard! That's all! It's fucking eerie, man!

I don't know, I can't say I'm feeling disappointed, myself...

Uh... So... What's your name?

[personal profile] bardish 2018-09-18 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure he's older than you, so technically you're loaning his features. He had them first!

[ YEAH NO, 'SIMON TEMPLAR' RINGS ZERO BELLS. Then again, he could be related to Cam like... on his mother's side?? Maybe??? ]

Jeff Calhoun! Also at your service! Not that I have very many services to offer, unless you need a high school teacher...

[ He smiles, pleasantly surprised by the sentiment. That's BASICALLY WHY JEFF GOT INTO TEACHING IN THE FIRST PLACE! You're a pretty cool guy, Simon. ]

Sounds like you had a teacher who made a real impact.

What kind of work are you in?

[Tell Jeff that, and you'll immediately become one of Jeff's favorite NON-CAM people. ]

Yeah, I teach, ah... basic subjects to kids who need special attention. Because of their magic.

What kinds of work did they offer you?

No, I don't have any relatives here. [ SIGH. ] Unless my mom lied when she said my real dad was John Travolta.

[ Oh, well, that's a new one. Mickey has to take a few minutes to do some digging of his own.

...

Well, that's a fucking creepy resemblance. ]


I guess I ought to be asking him what he was up to twenty years ago...

Would you look at that? If you stuck our interests on a venn diagram, it'd be a perfect fucking circle.

[ Okay okay he's more into hard liquor than 'fine wine,' but CLOSE ENOUGH, RIGHT? ]
