[ 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. ]

I'm not any younger than I look.
[ He shrugs, the expression a little exaggerated. He seems pleased with himself. ]
I don't really need a prize though, participating's enough fun for me.
no subject
[ that's the only way Reno can judge the veracity of this claim, after all! ]
I guess gettin' to know people is a prize in itself. I'm glad ya had fun, though. It ain't the most elegant party game in the world but it tends to get people talkin'.
no subject
I'm not looking to give up all my secrets though, sorry!
[ He's being a little Shit. ]
I don't think anything needs to be elegant to be fun. Getting a couple of drinks in a bar is fun, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who might find it inelegant.
no subject
[ he sure is!! Reno loves it, actually. ]
depends on what you're drinkin I guess, but yeah, for me that's true. I ain't the fancy liquor type
quietly retcons texting because I know what consistency is
[ A shrug. He pauses though, exhaling a little hum. ]
Whiskey, usually. When I get the chance to. But the stuff's pretty expensive.
HAHAH no worries okay same
I like whiskey when someone else is buyin'. Otherwise I'm a cheap beer guy. [ he grins, no shame. Reno doesn't mind spending other people's money, especially his boss's money.
although in this place there's no need for money at all, so some of the appeal is kind of lost... ]
no subject
Only when someone else is buying?
[ It makes vash laugh. Yeah, maybe that's nice but.. ]
I don't often get to buy the expensive stuff. I'm usually sharing, anyway. Beer's okay I guess. [ in a pinch. ]
no subject
Oh yeah. The good shit's expensive, plus if ya save it for special occasions it tastes better.
[ that's like, demonstrably not how it works but it's fine. Reno is only loosely tethered to the fabric of actual reality. ]
"Okay, I guess." [ that makes him laugh. ] Y'know, fair enough. It ain't for the taste that I'm buyin' it, let's just put it that way.
