[ hello and welcome to Boredom Hours, sponsored by one too many midafternoon beers and a perpetual inability to not immediately make his ennui everyone else's problem. today's host is... Reno!
when the video starts, it's to a shockingly decently framed shot of Reno doing the hooligan squat on the front stoop of his apartment building. he's got a lit cigarette hanging from his mouth, and once he's sure that the video is rolling he takes a long drag of it before he speaks. ]
Sup. I'm Reno. Some of ya may know me from my colorful past as "guy who got yanked into pool by tentacle monster."
[ probably nobody knows him that way but it's fine. we are not concerned with strict veracity here. Reno blows a neat smoke ring and grins the kind of grin that means he knows he's being a pain in the ass. ]
I was thinkin', y'know, there's only so many of us. Probably ain't a bad idea to get to know each other, right? [ he gestures with his cigarette as he speaks as if to underscore his words. ] We need some conversation starters. Some icebreakers, y'know? Everybody's favorite highlight from their corporate bonding retreats.
So! [ he holds up a hand to count on.
one finger. ] Two truths and a lie. Post 'em, let other people guess. I'll leave mine too. Shoutout to the blond girlie who had that party a couple months back for this one.
[ two fingers. ] Hot or not. Or smash or pass, whatever you wanna call it. Post yourself and let people vote, if you're brave. Or post your friends if you want to fuck around. You can all see my face right now so count that as my submission.
[ three fingers. ] Creativity exercise, open prompt. You can go anywhere, be anybody, do anything you want. The world ain't ending and there's no war or whatever the hell going on. Who are you and what are you doing? [ brief smoke break, and then Reno stubs the butt out on the cement, exhaling as he says, ] Me, I wanna make mediocre coffee for minimum wage and not worry about shit except makin' rent.
[ and lastly, four fingers. ] "Reno, this is fuckin' stupid and I don't want to do it." Okay, nobody's got a gun to your head. We ain't even got guns here. Do what you want.
[ his four fingers curl in so he can offer a cheerful, if a bit manic, thumbs-up before he reaches out to turn off the video.
just before he touches the button, though, he pauses as if something just occurred to him— ] Oh, shit—also, drop map pins for your favorite restaurant in this place. I'm in the market for new eats, bonus points if it's spicy.
[ okay, now he's gone. ]

video, @DONQUIXOT3
Thy features are sharp but fine, alike to the very nickname thou'rt fond of! I find thee quite pleasant to look at, my friend, particularly when focus takes thy mind.
no subject
It is surprising to be described as pleasant to look at in any way, Yesod finds, for a number of reasons. ]
...That is good, then. I was unaware that my expression changes noticeably.
no subject
Heehee, if thou art unaware of thine own face, I wonder what sort of secrets it shares without thy knowing?
[ she's not trying to give him any form or anxiety or self-consciousness i promise she's just teasing him... comfy. ]
I should rather like to make thee smile, actually, for I believe it would suit thee well.
no subject
Hopefully Yesod's face shares none of these thoughts. ]
That appears to be a skill of yours.
[ Both smiling and making others smile. He might be giving Don a slight smile of his own now, though, giving in to teasing her just a bit in return. ]
no subject
so no, those thoughts are largely unseen -- just the slight smile, which she wiggles happily at. ]
And it is one I shall gladly call mine, since I have been proven right. Have thee a dream alike to that which Ser Reno has made an example of?
