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.]

The spoon clinks in the mug as he stirs it.]
He's learned, I believe. Which is more than I can say of most men in positions of such power.
Re: [action]
[she wasn't saying it out of acceptance. While still cheery, there's a solemn note to the observation]
[action]
[He will never step up into a position of power, not only because his ideals that have deep roots in communism would go against it, but because he does not ever want to feel that weight.
Having to bear the burdens of the information he has is enough, knowing that there are lives and plans and futures all resting on the outcome of his actions is enough gravity to grey the edges of the colourful life he lives. He will never ascend to any place of power, but what he is remains close enough that he could never want it.]
[action]
[she sipped her coffee, glad for the conversation]
[action]
[He took a drink and leaned back in his chair, satisfied.]
It does help that he's related to Queen Mary.
[Another sip.]
Aaaah. That's a good cup.
[action]
[action]
Sir is very happy.
[action]
However, I will still show you the grocery store if you want. For breakfasting purposes.
[action]
To think, your assistance will aid in properly nourishing myself and two other poor, inept fellows.
[action]
[she grins, nodding towards the door] It's not far. Nothing here really is...at least, not by city standards.

[action]
I'm from Newford. It's in New York, but it's closer to Canada than it is to most of the U.S.
[action]
[Like Cambridge, maybe.]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[He smiles, genuinely.]
Are you more fond of the cold, or warmer weather?
[action]
I like both, really. It'd be hard to choose between them.
[action]
[Another sip of coffee.]
You would quite like the artists I've befriended there.
[action]
[action]
[Other than the artists themselves. They were works of fleshy, wonderful art in all their different anatomies.]
I watched Anthony paint, once.
[action]
[action]
[He drinks from his cup, and begins talking again as soon as he swallows. His words sound a little wet as he does, as though he's sifting coffee and vowel sounds over his tongue simultaneously.]
I became the first to see his finished pieces soon after. I remember most of them quite well. He was always quite mad on Poussin, and it showed a bit when he painted.
