Video 4 - George's room

[toiletseat_girl]

[the video opens on George, sitting on the edge of her bed with her legs crossed. she looks curious, but also a little sheepish as what she's about to ask is . . . personal.

no, she's not asking for flirting advice again.

that was one time.

stop looking at her like that.

no, this time what she's asking is even weirder]

So, uh, I was kind of wondering. How many people here died before they came here? And how many are now immortal?

I was just. Wanting to know?

I know, right? Couldn't get a cushy Natural Causes gig where you hang out at the hospital and wait for them to come to you.

I think you might need to invest in some reaper entrapment tactics! Maybe if you get a cardboard sign that says free beer, you'll reel a few more in the easy way.

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah, I asked about that. Something like that, anyway. I was told that I'd be fucking with fate and that I'd have to find them.

Y'know, the more I hear about grim reaping, the less cool it sounds. Have you considered switching over to being a cleric? Clerics have all the fun.

[toiletseat_girl]

Cleric? Like a priest?

video;

[weedbgon]

Yeah! Yeah, like a priest! I very humbly serve the deity Pan! Cool guy. Y'know, goat legs, has a nice beard. Nature domain. I've also always got my trusty Xtreme Teen Bible on me, if you ever wanna hear some of the good word!

I'm cool, thanks. This place has more than enough gods to deal with.

[weedbgon]

Dealer's choice, right? Hope probably can't whip out free nature magic for everybody, but I guess there is a lotta good stuff about havin' hope anyway. If that's your schtick.

[toiletseat_girl]

Actually, I'm not into gods. In general. Never believed back home and I don't see much reason to start here.

video;

[weedbgon]

Well, to each their own, huh? Y'know what, it's just as well. More nature magic for Merle! I could grow ya a tree sometime.

video;

[toiletseat_girl]

...my own tree would be cool. Especially if it's pretty.

video;

[weedbgon]

I've never met a tree that's ugly. Maybe I'm biased, I dunno.

video;

[toiletseat_girl]

Okay, then. I would like a tree. Where do I go to get it?

video;

[weedbgon]

I dunno, I could set you up in the orchard? Pretty sweet digs. Other trees to keep it company.

video;

[toiletseat_girl]

That works. Meet you there?

video;

[weedbgon]

You got it, kid. Catch you on the flipside!

[ And he's even actually gonna show up without forgetting because it's about a tree. That's the real commitment. ]

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah, see you there.

[she shows up and takes a look around. she's a short, skinny blonde in jeans and a tshirt]

[ Merle enjoys sending texts more than most methods of communicating on the network, if he's honest. There's something chiller about it. Chill is his whole vibe.

But in this case he can admit that the video conversation makes it so much easier to know who the hell he's looking for. He'll be the one looking like a fantasy-world dwarf with a beach hippie flavor. Which is fair, since that's basically what he is. ]

Heya! Look who made it! I should try to give all my friends trees, maybe they'd show up to hang out, too.

[George will take any kind, text, audio, or video, but she usually sticks to video. she likes seeing who she's talking to.

she sees him and heads on over. the whole fantasy-world dwarf with a beach hippie flavor doesn't faze her one bit, she's been here too long]

It wouldn't hurt? I mean, who doesn't like being given something.
