[r8] talking head: spike

[loveauthority]

[ Spike is led to a quiet room within the resort with a pair of hammocks to suit the scene, and upon one of them is where the overseer sits. She beams, shuffling her cards in hand (she will not use these), and motions for Spike to take a seat already!!!

This is the Talking Heads room, and there are cameras. Prepare to loosen those lips! ]

arrival!

[loveauthority]

[makeine]

[ wow, stylish. ]

Spiegel-san! It's nice to meet you! Are you ready to set off fireworks and find your one and only beneath the colorful glow of each burst?!

[dimeless]

Uh...yeah, sure.

[ he seems a little preoccupied trying to figure out how to sit down on this hammock. if he bends like this...damn it, the thing starts to swing dangerously. maybe if he sticks his leg up like that...nope, nearly overbalances. sticks both arms out to hOLD IT STILL as he manages something between an undignified fall and a controlled roll to sit down...and yelps as he loses his balance from behind. ]

I hate hammocks.

[ did you say you were filming? ]

[makeine]

[ oh my god she wishes they had this last time she would've killed to see her friends handle a hammock ]

You can lay down if you want! Body first, then one leg at a time, Spiegel-san.

1/??

[dimeless]

[ jfc is he being lectured by a small kidperson on how to lay down in a hammock?? listen, it cannot be that hard to SIT IN A HAMMOCK — ]

[dimeless]

[ nearly flips over ]

[dimeless]

[ on the other hand, he does like laying down ]

[dimeless]

[ body first, then one leg a time. yeah, yeah, how hard can it can? any idiot can do that!!! ]

[dimeless]

[ and he's not just any idiot.

he's a gigantic idiot. ]

[dimeless]

[ okokokok

3...2...1...let's go ]

[dimeless]

[ manages an absolutely ridiculous back flop, followed by getting each leg in the hammock. surely it does not require this much theatricality?? maybe it does. maybe it does. ]

[dimeless]

— ha!

[ he is IN THE HAMMOCK!! he could even nap now!! really, this is NOT so bad after all. victory is his. ]

[dimeless]

[ abruptly realizes he dropped his cigarette

his cigarette is lying on the ground, impossibly out of reach, snuffed out ]

[dimeless]

[ rip, cigarette...you were a real one...your life cut off too soon... ]

[dimeless]

[ how many more does he even have? god, he is so broke ]

12/12

[dimeless]

[ anyway.

ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!! ]

...you were saying?

[makeine]

[ Good Riddance. ]

Well, at least you got there. [ said the world's most judgemental small kidperson. ] "What do you think of TNT's engagement?" That's the first question.

[dimeless]

[ this is why he hates kids!!!! ]

Who?

[makeine]

TNT? Tr*vis and TSw*ft?

[ please oh my god they can't use this as a podcast. ]

After a decade of false starts and broken promises, she finally found someone that wanted to be with her and make her the happiest woman alive! They're proof that love wins! That you can have the worst luck, the worst track record, and still come out on top! I mean, my darling and I totally showed that first, but as far as worldwide news goes it's TNT!

[dimeless]

Never heard of 'em. What is she, some TV actress or something?

week one!

[loveauthority]

[makeine]

[ mr softserve himself. ]

You're out on two people now, Spiegel-san. I think you and Leslie-san are ahead of the game with that in mind.

[ since now they can narrow it further. even just a bit more. ]

How're you feeling about it?

[dimeless]

[ he shrugs, slouching where he sits ]

Guess that makes us lucky.

[makeine]

[ has he finally conquered hammocks. good for him. ]

Absolutely! Anyone caught your eye? Think you could pick out a handful of potentials for this week's ceremony?

[dimeless]

[ IT WOULD SEEM SO...for now ]

Du Ruo's a fine lady. I wouldn't mind spending more time with her. Tall, dark, and broody seems like he can show a guy a good time, too.

[makeine]

[ tall, dark, and...

... ]

Dettlaff-san?

[dimeless]

That's the one.

[makeine]

I totally wouldn't try. He's into direct, honest, earnest people.

[ real stick in the mud, spike. ]

You've got an issue being any of that.

[ what's with this slander ]

[dimeless]

[ WOW ]

Anyone tell you that you can be pretty rude?

[makeine]

Of course not! Who'd say that to such a sweet, pretty young girl?

[ yeah no she's told that on the daily by nukumizu dw ]

I prefer "direct".

[ or "tactless". ]

[dimeless]

Or tactless?

[makeine]

[ violence isn't allowed she's kicking his hammock. ]

Does it matter if I'm right?!

[dimeless]

[ sorry he can't answer rule of funny says his delicate balance on the hammock is disrupted and he's toppling over comedically ]

week two!

[loveauthority]

[makeine]

[ anna's curled in her hammock dwbi, swinging a little... ]

Aligula-san keeping things interesting I get, but what could you offer her?

[dimeless]

[ BRUTAL

shrugs, anyway, ]

We agreed on trying for the ceremony. Date guessed we could keep up with each other, and we can.

[makeine]

Wanna take her for a spin anyway?

[ matchlessness aside. ]

[dimeless]

For a date? Sure, why not?

[makeine]

[ please she needs the distraction from her broken heart ]

Good! Then I'll make sure they send you two someplace super duper nice!

[dimeless]

You reaaaaally care about this romance stuff, huh?

[makeine]

Of course! No one cares more than me, not even Aligula-san!

[dimeless]

Now that's impressive.

[makeine]

She'd deny it, but it's true. That's why I'm Cupid's assistant.
