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.]]

[ YES HE MINDS VERY MUCH THANK YOU ]

What do you mean, together?

[ Pssh. No togetherness for you. ]

[undespairing]

[Oh okay that's fine. He'll just take off his jacket and wring it out a bit instead.]

We're both lost here, aren't we? It makes more sense for us to team up to figure out what's going on than to wander off in our own separate directions. [Wring, wring, putting that slightly-less-wet jacket back on over his still-soaking shirt, sneezing...] --Plus we're friends!

[resentive.livejournal.com]

I've told you, we aren't friends. And I certainly didn't ask to be here with you.

[undespairing]

Oh come on, we're a team, right? A team! I bet you'd rather have Monica instead, wouldn't you?

[resentive.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could both be here, and I could be back in Lotto Valentino.

[undespairing]

What, are you being shy? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!

[resentive.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[undespairing]

I wonder if they use our currency here?

[resentive.livejournal.com]

You should ask someone if you want to know.

[ He's curious, but he won't ask. ]

[undespairing]

All right then, I'll go ask.

[Now he'll go up to the nearest person and do just that.]

[ Better Elmer than himself... ]

[undespairing]

[Aand he's back.]

Apparently they don't. He gave me a coin!

[See, it's all red and stuff!]

[resentive.livejournal.com]

[ ...takes it, just to look at it. ]

This is what they use?

[undespairing]

Apparently.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

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.
