IV.22nd Jan| video | post earthquake

[speaksdaggers]

[... if Nezumi were phased by the sudden earthquake, he's certainly not showing it. He's got the communicator loosely hanging from one hand at an odd angle and is stood on his balcony, giving the viewers a brief glance of his face before he flings his arms out. The swirling, zooming picture settles on an image of the post-earthquake Death City.

Bins, pots knocked over, a few lampposts that look like they're drunkenly swaying to one side, and cracks in the pavement.]

So, is this normal here too? Aside from constant surveillance, ongoing war and random kidnappings in the name of "war effort" they seem so fond of.

[The screen tilts again, and Nezumi gives the screen a very slight, lidded grin.]

Inquiring minds would like to know. If you'd all be so kind.

[... so sincere. :|]

Welcome to the new year, by the way. Late as it is. Seems as though we've been set up for such a fortuitous year.

[He shrugs.]

I do have a job. [And it's not like he has any other expenses in Death City.] But we could probably raise money for it, or ask for volunteers to help us build it.

[speaksdaggers]

[Nezumi stares at him levelly.]

I doubt one of us alone could fund it, even with our wages. Not to the standard it deserves. Besides, why should we fund it? We owe this place nothing.

[tauborn]

It has nothing to do with owing the place anything. If we want a stage, we're going to have to make ourselves.

[He crosses his arms petulantly.] You'd rather give up before even starting.

[speaksdaggers]

[Nezumi waves a hand. If you're so gung ho about it don't let me and my terrible lack of ambition towards the project you thought of, you leapt on and got all excited over stop you.

[tauborn]

I'm just saying that if you want something, you have to work for it.

Do you want a stage?

[speaksdaggers]

I would like lighting, walls and a few chairs as well.

[tauborn]

[He nods. Eve has a good point.] So we should look at some of the vacant spaces available for rent and see if we can make one work.

[That would take care of basic lighting, and a wall wouldn't be so difficult. He's certain chairs are easy to find.]

[speaksdaggers]

[Nezumi folds his arms and narrows his eyes slightly before shaking his head.]

Hm. Good luck then. Call me if you get anywhere and want to give it a decent opening.

[tauborn]

[That is probably the most encouraging thing Eve has said so far!]

Okay! I'll keep you updated!

[speaksdaggers]

... [Well that worked.]

If you like.
