one laugh

[undespairing]

--t's this thing, anyway? [There's a soaking wet kid dripping onto the screen, when it turns on.] Some sort of magical object? Haha, that'd be pretty interesting. [He wipes it off with a wet sleeve, making the screen...wetter. A laugh.] Guess I should figure out where I am first, anyway.

[And with that, he pockets the communicator; viewers may hear him saying "Hey. Hey, excuse me," to random strangers, as he didn't bother to turn the thing off.]

[[Feel free to be the random strangers! He's bothering people around the fountain area.]]

It's different, but...that should be fine.

[undespairing]

Are you going to make more money? I like how colorful it is. Apparently they come in all the colors of the rainbow!

[resentive.livejournal.com]

...don't say that out here.

[undespairing]

Right, right, sorry. Are you though?

[He's lowered his voice a little, at least...]

[resentive.livejournal.com]

That depends.

[undespairing]

Depends?

[resentive.livejournal.com]

On if it's necessary here.

[undespairing]

That makes sense. If all else fails, maybe I can try getting a job! Work our way out of here.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

Don't be stupid.

[undespairing]

Was that stupid? Sorry, sorry. Hey, maybe we can go sightseeing while we're here.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

That's an even worse idea.

[undespairing]

Is it? We can learn about the area and the people this way, and have some fun while we're at it. We might even find somebody willing to give us a tour, if we're lucky.

[ ...how is that lucky? ]

You can do that. I'd rather look around myself.

[undespairing]

[How is it not?]

Well, if you want. Maybe we can find a place to meet up again later.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

That's fine.

[ ...walking away, without picking a place. ]

[undespairing]

...I'll see you later then!

[Waving!! He'll find you eventually, just you wait.]

[ Not answering that. Stupid Elmer. ]
