011 [Video]

[Chris is at the bar today, looking like he's more interested in having a nap than making a broadcast. But he has a large coffee, at least, and manages a smile for the camera at the video starts.]

Hey. It's uh, been a little weird around here lately, huh?

[What with people arriving in two waves at completely the wrong time and all. But at least there's been some good snacks, even if Chris carefully avoided Delight's energy shots.]

Um, this has nothing to do with any of that, but I was uh... Hoping someone would be willing to like, talk about making a deal to trade for some bullets or something. I kind of ran through what I had during the whole zombie incident.

[Or well, most of them; he'd used the last one later on during the Confusion event, but those are unnecessary details.]

So uh... Yeah. That's about it.

[Have an awkward, dorky wave before he disconnects.]

you realize you can draw a quick glyph in a pinch and end up doing what's basically battle magic, right?

[Fuck you they probably would work.]

Uh, no, because I can't use magic.

Also the gun's been working pretty well so far.

[Let him have his thing, Em.]

are you sure you're not just too chickenshit to find out if you really can't?

[No.]

[Of course he's not afraid to fail at something, gosh Emily. Why would you ever think that?]

I'm totally fine trying it, just not relying on a skill I don't actually have yet.

Also I don't really want to pester Carlisle about it.

[Carlisle's doing enough and having a hard enough time, so Chris is not about to ask him to try teaching him something he'll probably fail at. That'd just be bad for both their confidences.]

[Chickenshit, chickenshit, chickenshit.]

you could've been taking lessons with him this entire time, you know. it's not like he's going out of his way to teach you if he's already in the house

[The irony is it would probably be better for Carlisle's confidence. And better for Emily's too, but who's keeping track.]

We're not exactly paying him, you know.

[So it'd be rude to ask. This is his story and he's sticking to it ~~even though despite being true it's totally not the only reason.~~]

he's not asking to be paid. besides, there's nothing to pay him with

That just makes it worse to ask him to do more.

But hey, maybe you can learn and then just teach me.

wtf no it doesn't because he can stop whenever he wants

chris, why would i teach you when you can learn from someone who grew up in the world where this shit comes from

I know this is a totally foreign concept to you but sometime people do things for other people to be nice even when they really don't want to.

[He's joking on the 'totally foreign concept' part and really hopes Emily doesn't take it more seriously than he means.]

I don't know it'd be practical and you know how to do it so why not?

i know, nerdbrain. why do you think i talk to you as often as i do

[He's lucky she's in a good mood because any other day, she would've fought him on that.]

i'm not teaching you glyphcrafting. if you want to learn something less likely to kill you, go ask carlisle. if not, see you when you get revived

Uh, because I'm delightful and inspiring company?

And wow, okay, I'll have you know I'm becoming like, a super hardcore monster hunter or whatever. I've totally not died any of the times I went to get bullets before.

[That may or may not be because Lilith was there but still.]

wow

okay but that's because lilith was there

It's okay you can say it.

Well yeah but I'll have you know I've also not died most of the other times I've run into monsters either.

[And the monster that did kill him really shouldn't count anyway; it was a special once-off thing. At least that's how he's looking at it to make it less horrifying.]

remember you asked for this

you're a fucking idiot and i am not in the mood to catch you up on all the shit that'll happen before you get revived

MOST of the other times. that explains itself, doofus

I meant that you can say I'm amazing company, geez.

Oh come on it took like a day last time and I missed nothing I wanted to know about anyway.

Also I have like a 99% living rate okay that's pretty good.

how is it possible for you to get nerdier with every little thing you say

Incredible talent. It's a gift and a curse.

spare me, shakespeare

I'd quote something annoying at you, but I'm not sure what's actually Shakespeare and what isn't.

[Emily rolls her eyes so far back, she's half scared they might stay that way, and the groant she makes is so loud that probablly the entire house heard it.]
