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.]

Yes, that's right.

[Giles doesn't protest the taking of the chair.] Order something if you want, and then we'll get started.

No one's asking you to abandon anything.



Yet.

Most people here are live an' let live. Myself, I've infringed on that social imperative often. Marauding and such, eh? But it's who I am, I'm afraid, and it won't stop anytime soon. You, though?

[He thinks of the Third Party, then, and the ongoing intrigue.]

Just keep a sharp eye.

Oh really? Hm... I don't know much about her beyond that she plays piano at the nightclub.

They don't have rules. Well supposedly if I tried to dismantle the battledome for parts I might get kidnapped for their experiments. But that could happen anyway. I guess their rules are don't even bother trying to escape, we're all just puppets and have to play in their drafts and shifts. But it's not really a voluntary thing anyway.

And by mad, what do you mean?

...But I like baseball.

[If he sounds dismissive, he means to be. He thinks baseball is better, and of course, everything he thinks is right, ergo.]

Anyway, sports aside. How does your new home in find old Luceti suit you so far?

[Giles makes a face, but says nothing about Guy's choice. He gets tea and a ham sandwich, just something to keep him going depending on how difficult Guy is to teach.

Once Guy looks close to finished:]


Did you bring your journal?

...Sorry, haven't. Not yet at least. He's from your home, I guess?

Oh, it's seen a thing or two.

[Reliable? Maybe. Maybe not. The very definition of unreliable, that.]

And I believe that your possibility is possible, sir. [Jack, similarly, toasts Guy before draining his.]

I'll keep an eye out for him, then. Point him towards the bar, too.

Oh, is that all? [She says as though she lives inside an insane asylum of psychos. Then again, look at Luceti.]

Sounds like you'll fit right in with half of this nut-house.

[one eyebrow arches] Well, "Sir" seems to have earned it after the way you described your first cup....and, wow... I'm not calling you that again. [laughing]

However, I will still show you the grocery store if you want. For breakfasting purposes.
