#1 ON A COMPUTER THINGY. VOICE.

[loonyandproud]

[A VOICE. On the forums or whatever it is. A smooth, ridiculously fast Scottish radio voice, because Campbell is doing his radio voice for the occasion.]

This is Campbell Bain, comin' t'ye live fae who knows where? He certainly doesnae but he's broadcasting fae it all the same. It's no as nice as where I came from or where I've been cos it's all wee and cottage-y and probably populated strictly by sweet old ladies. And I'm sorry, but that's no my scene.

This'd be the part usually where I'd do some sorta intro t'the next song, but I've no brought any of my music again. I cannae stand always having t' put together my music library all over again. Is there naebody I can submit a complaint to? Probably one of the wee old ladies who I've gone and offended now. I'm sorry, hen, I didnae mean it, honest! I'll buy you new knitting needles! I'll bring ye as many cups of tea as you want!

[A thoughtful pause.]

D'ye know, I think I'm starting t' become an old hand at this.

[ooc: HE JUST BROADCASTED ALL OF THAT FROM A BENCH IN FRONT OF A SHOP. ACTION ACCEPTABLE.]

[Alec is thar. He wasn't a second ago, but that's okay. He's thar now.]

They're not all sweet old ladies around here.

[loonyandproud]

[Campbell just kind of looks at him, and then shuts down the computer (library loaner) and shoves it in the front pocket of his hoody.]

Aye, well, I s'pose not, but you cannae tell me there's no an old lady decorating the place.

[element_wizard]

[Alec is a bit of a weird one, with the tattoo on his face, the pointed ears and the long sword...]

There's not an old lady decorating the place.

[He grins brightly as he says it. No one says he had to be truthful.]

[loonyandproud]

[Yeah, good luck, Alec. Campbell is pretty unflappable. You still aren't Scuba Suit Jenny.]

Aye, well, ye'd have t' say that, would you no? I set you up for it. [EYE ROLL.] I didnae mean you LITERALLY cannae.

[element_wizard]

[Give him time?]

I suppose so. The line was there and I'm very bad at resisting those things.

[The eyeroll is ignored.]

[loonyandproud]

[Campbell sighs deeply.] Is there anything to do here?

[element_wizard]

What do you like to do?

[loonyandproud]

Fun things. Stuff that isnae sleepy cottage town stuff. I'm from Glasgae f'crying out loud!

[element_wizard]

[Alec sighs.]

Everyone's definition of fun is different. For example I enjoy antagonizing people until they try and kill me.

[loonyandproud]

I'm pretty good at that too. [Campbell pulls his legs up and sits crosslegged on the bench.] I like music. Music's fun, and so are films and going fae drinks wi' your pals.

[element_wizard]

Well, there's a couple of taverns and bars around. I don't know about music around here.

[loonyandproud]

What about radios?

[element_wizard]

Dunno about those either. But I haven't looked for them.

[Iroh is browsing through the small, poorly run technology shop. He doesn't know how any of it works, but he finds it absolutely fascinating.

And he just about jumps out of his skin when he picks up a small little handheld device (a smartphone that isn't very smart, but he doesn't know that) and Campbell's message blasts out.

He accidentally presses the button to record video button. Congrats, Campbell, you get a very long video reply that's just of Iroh looking extremely confused.]

[Jareth, in all of his sparkling and form-fitting finery, has been stalking about Burby looking for minions. It's dreadful, really, being a Goblin King without goblins. Through the magic of selective hearing, however, he catches a very small part of Campbell's delivery and walks--no, saunters--over.]

What did you say about music, boy?

[voice]

[pantysniffer]

Burby.

[lawbender]

We don't knit.

[ It's almost funny how mean three words can sound. Calm down, Lin. Lighten up. It's just a new resident. Ask a sensible question. ]

What do you mean by old hand?
