[ 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. ]

If both of us are busy, how ever will we remind one another to rest?
no subject
You enter the hour and - at the precise, specified moment - a sound will play, thereby alerting you of whatever task you are meant to see to next.
Ingenious, really.
no subject
"Rest? How could I possibly rest when I've this and that to complete? I'll set it for another bell or two and then I'll reconsider."
And thus did it continue until the sun rose the next morning.
no subject
And in case you hadn't noticed, we've a great deal yet to unravel - not only in relation to circumstances back home, but many of the city's more unsettling tendencies.
You were the one who suggested that I go forth and seek new opportunities, were you not? I have chosen to seek them in answers.
no subject
So stubborn.]
All work and no play...
But all right then. Even so, you should still strive to take breaks for your own sake. Even if the only hobby you decide to take up while here is napping.
no subject
And what's this about no play? I've been having an obscene amount of fun finding myself on the pointy end of others' scathing wit. I may just have to turn it into a regular pasttime and forego napping altogether.
But I believe we were talking about you before you went and cleverly changed the subject. If there's something you wish to try your hand at, I see little reason not to, so long as you don't do anything overly reckless.
