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.]

[laughing] No, no. You're very right. Or...well.. I'm female. Lady might be too formal. Or all too grown up. [she might be an adult, but that didn't mean she had to think of herself as one]

But I'm not at all opposed to the helping part. If you tell me where you're starting from, I can sketch you a quick map to the bakery. Or to the welcome center, since they have better maps that will point out a great deal more than one shop.

Certainly a chance. I haven't heard of anyone who couldn't find their own clothes, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Let's go look. [He nods to the clothes shop.]

[When they reach the shop, Archie pushes open the door.] The local what?

One day, she was just...not here. All her things were gone. She's been returned home.

[Okay, he is a dead ringer for Beckett, but he speaks differently. Actually, he doesn't seem like a half-bad fellow; Jack has no qualms with people who get rejected by the Navy. He's not very happy with the Navy himself, at this point, considering what went on with Hornblower.]

Ah. And that is what, sir? Critiquing the morning meal?

[voice]

[personal profile] mistlegacy 2011-09-26 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
She was returned alive, yes. It's possible she'll return at a later point; that happens sometimes. Whether or not she'll remember being here...that's another issue.

[Jack has absolutely no idea what the BBC is. British Foreign Office? Intelligence? He understands THAT.]

Hmmm? Me? I've been working for myself for a very long time. Pirate, actually.


...Have you tried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches yet? Food of the gods, that.

Very amusing, thanks to you.

There are ways to eat here beyond providing for yourself.

[Wow. Tony can already tell this one's a special snowflake.]

Yeah, well, clearly you haven't tried the Lucky Charms yet. You should They're magically delicious.

[Raw garlic on......wow. But he IS British Intelligence, after all.]

Be reminded, though, Sir Guy Burgess, that there is very little to pirate here. Not much at all, really; I do maraud a bit to keep a hand in. So not as interesting as it could be.

[That gets a chuckle from him, too.] That's a good word for it, not quite an alehouse or an inn, though I always liked the inns the best. No need to take anyone home, you just went upstairs. [He picks up a shirt that could probably fit Guy and offers it.]

Burgess seems to be the safest then.
