4th lesson [Video]

[shackledpuppy]

[The communicator clicks on and for a moment, the camera is masked by a finger over the lens.  There's a shocked gasp and a few seconds of silence before the camera is suddenly clear and Danny's face and shoulders can be seen, albeit upside down.  There are scars littering his skin, too many to count, all of them long healed.  There's a deep scar

[Bass had found the collar in his room and pocketed it, knowing already that if something shows up in one's room, that it's the property of someone else. He also had a pretty good feeling he knew who it belonged to.

He didn't know where Danny's room was though, so he sets about knocking on random doors until he finds it. :| ]

[Danny freezes at the knock. He's stark naked, and the dresser drawers are hanging open with spare sheets and hand towels strewn over the floor from his search for his clothes.

In a panic, he stuffs everything back in the drawers and shuts them, ignoring the corners still sticking out. Padding over to the door, he stops. Wait, he remembered Bart getting mad at him for taking his clothes off where people could see him. Something about being uncivilized. He wasn't sure he completely understood, but he knew it made Bart mad, which meant he should avoid it if he could help it.

Scrambling around the room, he eventually finds a complimentary robe; it's too big and the sleeves are too long, but he wraps it around himself and finally opens the door, keeping his head low, expecting Ganon.]

[Bass tolerates that head down thing for all of two seconds.]

Look up, [he ordered gruffly. Probably best to keep his words simple; the guy seemed a couple fries short of a Happy Meal.]

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[Danny's head snaps up, but his shoulders are still hunched and his posture is completely submissive. He blinks. He doesn't know this guy.]

[Video] Claiming Shirt?

[lamortdeshommes]

[The feed clicks on showing Isabella staring into her comm. She blinks a moment before speaking.]

Is this yours?

[She turns the comm so that Danny can see her holding up his shirt between two elegant fingers.]

[Video] Done

[shackledpuppy]

[How did she know that?! Danny looks surprised when the video clicks on, and he nods.

By the time he answers, he's already wearing the new outfit that Bass gave him.]

[lamortdeshommes]

[Isabella laughs softly.]

Meet me on the top deck if you want it back.

[Isabella's already up there, lounging on a deck chair, enjoying the sun.]

[shackledpuppy]

[It takes a good twenty minutes, but eventually Danny does shuffle up to the top deck and HOLY HELL SUNLIGHT. It's bright out here, and he winces, shielding his eyes from the sun.

Grey, dismal London weather it ain't.]

*Normally, Marco would have ignored finding such old looking clothing, but this time he recognized it. Sadly, he had no way of knowing where to find Danny, but that's what the comms were for.*

Danny.
I found your pants. Reply if you want them back.

*His tone is somewhere between a request and an order, since orders worked with the dogman before*

[Audio | Video]

[shackledpuppy]

[There's a response, but it's little more than heavy breathing for a few seconds until Danny turns it to video. He nods his head.]

[Audio]

[ntjstapwn]

I'll meet you at Sergei's.

...the resturant with the kitchen we met in before.

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[Okay. This is probably good, considering Danny's still hungry.

He's clean now, and wearing fresh new pants and a t-shirt that says "MY BOYFRIEND SAILED ON THE M.S. ELEGANTE AND ALL HE GOT ME WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT" on it in dark red text. He's barefoot though, and he a little less jumpy now that he's been told in not so many words that he should be leaving his room if he's hungry.

Danny pads into Sergei's and peeks inside.]

Text

[unamvirtus]

[Who's this? He extremely freaked out by all the scars, but even more but Danny's behaviour. Also, what are these sneakers on his bed. That's freaking him out even more, considering that's exactly where Zelda's boots were, and now he's terrified someone else has gone and died.]

Are you okay?

Video

[shackledpuppy]

[Those are words.

Unfortunately, Danny can only read about twenty six words, and none of them are "are", "you" or "okay".

He's starting to get the hang of the communicator though. If he presses this button, someone on the other end can see him. So he presses the video button and looks mournfully into the camera, hoping the person on the other end won't be too mad he couldn't read their message. Mercifully, he's no longer naked.]

[unamvirtus]

[Oh. Well okay, Link has to assume he either likes video or hates text. Or can't read, like Simba. Maybe Link can teach hi... oh wait no, nobody cares about the Hylian alphabet here. Sigh.

Well, he can roll with this. He presses the video button as well and blinks at Danny, wide-eyed. He looks both confused and concerned, but he only waves for now, not offering any words yet. Behind him are the sneakers, but they may not be fully visible behind that pointy ear.]

Video

[shackledpuppy]

[It's a child.

Danny hesitantly holds up a hand in a rough approximation of wave. It's pretty clear it's something he's learned very recently and doesn't quite understand the mechanics of.]

[video]

[nothinglikegod]

[He's been listening. People offering up stuff to this guy. So our priest here thinks it's pretty safe to assume that this is his too. Wolfwood holds up a sweater to the camera.]

I think I have something that belongs to you.

[video]

[shackledpuppy]

[Danny's eyes light up, and he nods his head once. That's definitely his.

Despite having clean, new clothes, he's still attached to the old ones. They're his, and he has to keep his very few belongings close.]
