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.]

[Another difference might be Jack having laid claim to crimes that did not belong to him. But he was a pirate, after all, and sought fame. That was part of the fun of it: all the fame and dodging the noose each time.]

Then you'd best not speak of 'em here, lad. There's those who would impose a new system of "justice" on this place.

[Smoker. And Angel. They'd openly talked about it on the journals.]

I just meant that Cambridge was fancy. Y'know, all on its own. [ a pause. ] A friend of mine got accepted but turned them down.

[Giles is waiting at a table near the door, writing in his own journal. He looks up when he hears the door opening.]

Guy Burgess?

That's good, at least. I don't know that being royalty really means you're suited for it, but if he's earned respect, he must be doing something right.

[she orders herself a simple coffee, black, and cradles it in her hands, enjoying the warmth against her fingers]

The second. The second of the two, there, Burgess. There IS no current power here---nothing in place.

[It IS important. The Joanna Joyce is still at stake, Jack feels.]

They've threatened to take away my ship already, you see.

[He latches onto that first statement, completely dismissing the idea that his presence alone wasn't enough to summon someone to a bar (protip: he thinks it always is).]

Yeah, I'm curious about that. Actually. Cricket, I mean. What's up with that? It's like Baseball Junior.

[Of course, he says this knowing full well which came first. But he can't resist the opportunity to purposefully bungle some stereotypes.]
doubleppk: (Mm)

Yes.

Oh! Probably Nami. She makes pretty good maps I hear.

What's on your mind? I'll try to answer. Or make something up. [Obviously the best person to get information from... someone who openly says she'll bs things she doesn't know.]

Sometimes that's a lot to ask of someone in any station.

[she wasn't saying it out of acceptance. While still cheery, there's a solemn note to the observation]

[A shrug.] Just the usual types, is all. Champions; marines; people who enjoy doling out punishments. I'm just telling you about this so's you're aware, mate; they've made no moves yet. Just chattering about it on the journals.
herotypical: [ happy ] (✝ nothing survives)

...She had a higher calling back home. The choice was both really really easy and really really hard.
herotypical: [ sad ; neutral ; maybe happy ] (✝ but we're cheating cheating cheating)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-10-17 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...I won't complain. It meant her staying nearby. I don't think I would've forgiven Oxbridge if either fancypants college stole my BFF. Y'know?
herotypical: [ neutral ; snark ; angry ] (} give me half as much)

Corny as it is? It's true.

If they choose to carry it through...well. I haven't exactly been a respectable citizen in this place, mate. I've robbed and plundered. [A drink.] I've already stood in the pillory for a crime, once, for two days. I wouldn't want that to become habitual, here.

So how did your friend get the opportunity to manage art for so daunting a figure?

[she sipped her coffee, glad for the conversation]
