This place is lousy with smilers.

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

[ooc: In other news, somebody's horse got turned into a motorcycle again (yes, again) for the purposes of 1950s angsty, um, "youth." He'll be riding around, looking cool, feeling cynical and scornful about your gray flannel suburban lives ( Read more... )

[The feed rattles itself awake, sparking and flickering up out of the dark, as usual. But when the image clears, it seems not to show the City, nor any place near it, nor anything at all familiar--save, perhaps, in vague ways. Well, maybe there's one familiar thing (person) in it all. But, beyond that, it doesn't seem to be anything ( Read more... )

You want to clean the stables--go ahead.

[ooc: Ah ha ha ha ha >>;; No, seriously: you have fun with that. Signed, that guy who's very often seen hanging around at the Barn. Text post, btw.]

[The requisite flickering and flashing that begin most every one of the Network entries from this device are so requisite and are so flickering and flashing. But, after a moment, the view of a small, dark, spare room comes into view: two walls, a roof, a glimpse of a chest of drawers, a blue-pattered pitcher--not much to speak of, ( Read more... )

((Click, shuffle, fumble, rattle, and sounds emerge more clearly as the device is, apparently, set down. There are the sounds of the edges of the City--a few voices, footsteps on a road, a dog barking, the whining and twanging of summertime insects, the wind, a few faint shreds of music drifting by, someone whistling in the distance ( Read more... )

((A click and a rattle and the Network device turns on--but only sound this time, not video. It's quiet without being quiet: the recording hisses and in the background are the sounds of dishes, food, eating, drinking, glasses set on wooden tables, money dropped on top of a bar. There's a settling sound, a quiet tap as the device is ( Read more... )

[It's dark at the beginning, but it's the sound the starts first: a horse's hoofbeats, walking: 1, 2, 3, 4. It's after a moment or two that the cover of the Network device (the catch is still broken) swings open. Once again, the device is hanging from the horn of a saddle, swinging along gently, and twisted on its strap enough that ( Read more... )

So long.

Can't say how long.

[ooc: Don't worry, it's not for keeps. It's just that, after this weekend, he'd like a little time away from...things. He'll be riding out of town this afternoon and camping out somewhere past the northeastern edge of the City for a few days.]

[Flicker flicker, and the image emerges, but it's difficult to tell at first that it truly has pulled clear from the usual interference. But, watching carefully, one can see that it has and it now shows a view of the straight, gray trunks of the trees at the edges of town in the sudden and unexpected summer snow. The snow is still ( Read more... )
