1st Broadcast- [voice]

[Guy Burgess hasn't been in Luceti long enough for most things.

Being a smaller man with little luck, he hasn't found his own clothes yet, or even been told that they were in a shop somewhere, waiting. He hasn't gotten over his newest accoutrements and the fact that no fine haberdashery could adequately swathe a pair of wings. He does like their colour, however. Reminds him of the coat he misses. He hasn't gotten the chance to make something of his bedroom or have anyone in it, but he certainly has plans. Personalizing his every surrounding is part of what Guy enjoys. His own loudness is everything his world mirrors, but none of that has happened yet.

One thing Guy has most definitely, however, been in Luceti long enough for is to make a bloody fit of breakfasts had so far with Kim and Anthony in mornings after too little sleep.

He's far too damned lazy to write, but he's sorted his way through enough of the guide to know he can press something and broadcast his voice. If there is one fucking similarity in this place, it is that he could broadcast at all. It isn't BBC radio, but what he has to say isn't exactly their material either.]


There's nothing continental about a bloody continental breakfast. At least an empire is built on a start of its kind. The best of thinkers eat empires as their breakfast, lob them into bowls and think of all the ways their countries could devour one another. Yet there's something appalling and dull, spooning into one's mouth the liquid and creamed wheaty remains of a box made hot.

At least in a continental breakfast one has something to chew on, physically, as they realize how bloody little there is to eat. EAT YOUR CONTINENTS TOMMY. THEY'RE BLOODY GOOD FOR YOU.

[There's a pause in his speech, perhaps for dramatics, though it's just as likely he's taking a suck from his cigarette.]

I've yet to find where everything is in this buggering town, but I refuse to endure another unacceptable morning of a spoon in an opened can of something. The best anachronisms are catchy, but I'd prefer not to be using little three letter blots in regards to my morning meal. Breakfast should not be UFO's... unidentified food objects splattered about in a bloody bowl.

Coffee can only take one so far without a country in it. Irish, Spanish, it doesn't matter. There's something to make it tolerable. I never knew it was possible to brew undrinkable coffee but it would seem my beloved compatriots have made a talent of it.

No more, I say. NO BUGGERING MORE.

Hello and good morning, Luceti. RISE AND SHINE YOU SHEEP OF THE WORLD. Guy Burgess, September the 24th, midmorning greetings.

[So ends your broadcast. Hope you like that you're now a substitute for the radio in part.

OOC: Backdated to before the event, that way he can get a proper introduction with people acting themselves. Also will begin tagging after work tomorrow. For now SLEEP.]

Just below the club, yes. Interesting that that's the leap you'd make, but yes. One of the few restaurants in town, I'm afraid.

That would be Ginia, yes. Due to this unfortunate rash of departures, she's taken over as owner of the place.

...I, um, generally provide assistance on the musical front.

Among other things.

Luceti has, at least, given me the opportunity to get back into practice.

...Fancypants. Me? I'm a college drop-out who now -- as you now know -- tends a bar. Believe me, there's very little passion involved in my career choice.

[ she lies! she lies about it all! of course -- anyone already acquainted with the village's guide would know she's not just the barmaid anyway. ]
herotypical: [ happy ; snarky ; bar ] (✝ but twice as fast)

There is when you wanted to complete it. I mean -- hey, it wasn't like Cambridge impressive but it was...good. And interesting. When I had the time for it.
herotypical: [ snarky ; neutral ] (✝ fit to drink)

Family. Family versus school? Family always wins. [ it hadn't been so simple but -- ah, well. ]

And you probably wanna hold off on the compliments until you see the cowering typical blonde beneath the wordiness.

I've found that to be true, mate. Very recently, I've found that to be true. One's crimes may resurface to haunt him years later. There's no true running.

Under ordinary circumstances, no. But you caught me at a good time.

Oh, dear.]


Rupert Giles, in case you have.

See you in about twenty minutes.

It seems like a reluctant king might be better than an overeager one...but a difficult situation. That's a huge responsibility to take on.

Really, mate? You don't look to be the sort who runs, though we've both managed to make it a ways into this bottle.
