ceiling_catYou guys usually have weather like this? Nothin' but rain and sleet... it's enough to get anybody down. [He looks back at the video feed, grinning.]
That said, since the weather's keepin' me in, thought I'd bug ya all with a question or two.
First, I'm tryin' ta fix up a place to stay. This place doesn't happen to've dragged in a hardware store or somethin', does it? Anyplace I could pick up some tools? Be nice ta get my hands on a bit of paint an' plaster, too.
Second thing is I've been hearin' a lot about what happened last week, and somebody told me weird things happen every other week 'round this joint. Anybody willin' to tell me stories about what they've seen when? You never know, maybe we can figure out what's comin' if we look at what's happened before.

Date: 2011-10-07 08:02 pm (UTC)Aight, yo!
....
An' uh... thanks, yo. For lettin' us stay an' all.

Date: 2011-10-07 11:52 pm (UTC)[He'll hang up for a few minutes, then come back on, outside in the rain now but screw it, what's a little rain.
And he's determined.]
Aight, I gotta ask, yo, an' I'm tired a' beatin' 'round the bush.
You the Composer, yo?!
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-07 11:58 pm (UTC)No, Beat. My job's just what I told Phones - I keep an eye on the Game, make sure everybody obeys the rules. Sure, I make pins too when somebody sends in an order, but I'm not the guy givin' the orders.
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 01:54 am (UTC)Aight, yo... so what 'bout them red pins? They look like the player pins, but they make everyone go loopy. An' the pins are CAT design... an' Neku says your CAT.
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 01:57 am (UTC)You're right. I made the pins, but I'm not the one that came up with the idea for 'em. That was the Conductor.
Think of me as bein' like the prop guy on a movie set, Beat. Just 'cause I make somethin' the director asks for doesn't make me the director.
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 02:06 am (UTC)... Oh shit, man, they JUST beat the conductor, you think he'd have realized that. But he wasn't there for the whole Neku/Conductor speech, but at least Coffee-man's words seem to fit]
... Oh... sorry for accusin' you. Jus'... seemed to fit, yo.

Date: 2011-10-08 02:11 am (UTC)So, any luck findin' those cinderblocks?
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 06:29 pm (UTC)[He got so caught up in the composer thing, they just went and slipped his mind.]
Aight, yo! I'll go an' find some right now! You jus' keep chill!
[Hanging up, he'll call you back later when he's found some]
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 06:32 pm (UTC)That was way easier than it should've been.]
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 07:23 pm (UTC)He'll turn the video back on much later. He's drenched but he looks pleased with himself]
Yo! Told you I'd find some!
[He'll pan the camera around and focus on a pile of blocks. They're mostly about even, a few are smaller or broken, but there are some that look useable. They looked to have been part of a building that collapsed]
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 07:34 pm (UTC)[The useable ones, anyway; it looks like there's enough of those to set up a decent enclosure for a fire. No mortar, of course, but as long as it's small and no one runs into it....
Maybe he can cake some mud over the inside, let it bake solid.]
[Video | Private]
Date: 2011-10-08 07:51 pm (UTC)Ain't far, yo, didn't take me long to walk. Jus' be careful, ain't easy.
[Video/Offline]
Date: 2011-10-08 09:23 pm (UTC)[He closes down the feed and heads out to the location Beat'd sent. It's not that far, after all; but the kid wasn't joking about the terrain. No wonder he found some bricks here. The buildings are in serious ruins, and picking his way over them in sandals is tricky.
Five minutes of that, and he's glad to spot that black cap. He waves.] Heya!
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-08 09:34 pm (UTC)[Beat returns the wave, seemingly more at ease around Hanekoma now. He's grinning, at anyrate, and not suspiciously oogling]
How many trips you think it'll take, yo? Bricks ain't 'xactly light.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-08 09:37 pm (UTC)[Doing a bit of mental math.] Five trips oughta do it. Think you're up for it?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-08 09:46 pm (UTC)[You just laid down a challenge.
Beat accepts it with gusto.
He'll start gathering as many as he can hold, which is indeed about three and starts heading back towards the house, with as much grace as a drunken moose]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-08 09:55 pm (UTC)Careful where you're steppin', I'm not carryin' ya back if you break an ankle.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-09 12:02 am (UTC)[That's such an insult to Beat's sensibilities. He's way more sturdy than you, Spindlyman. He will go a little slower though; rain makes things slick and he really doesn't want his first week in this place marred by him busting his face open on something.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-09 12:05 am (UTC)Figured we could just dump these out back, save the trouble of movin' em once they're all at the house.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-09 07:06 pm (UTC)So he's silent for the rest of the walk, and when they finally reach the house, he skirts around to the back to drop them off there, whew'ing and rotating his arms a little, before glancing back to Hanekoma]
How you holdin' up, Coffee-man? Think you can do that again?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-09 11:12 pm (UTC)[He chuckles. Might be silly, but damned if he'll let a teenager outwork him... and he's a bit stronger than he looks, in any case.
Not as much as he ought to be. But enough for hauling bricks, sure. He smirks.] Sure you're doin' all right? You sound pretty wiped.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-09 11:55 pm (UTC)[He's taking off again, full speed. His time on the skateboard has at least given him some reflex, so he's able to move over the rubble with relative speed.
He will do this as many times as it takes]
[Offline] ...and then we assume this continued for like an hour? XD
