[ It doesn't take long for Raven to figure out how to get the communicator on. It does take her a little longer to decide whether or not she wants to actually do anything with that information, though. When the feed switches on she's sitting comfortably at the edge of the fountain, although the expression on her face is anything but entertained. ]

When I said no, I meant no. I don't know where all this... [ the feed jumps about a bit as she rotates her wrist, but it comes back to normal after a moment or two. ] technology has come from, or why you'd bother disguising it, but it's not happening. I'm not interested.

[ And then she frowns and folds one leg over the other, gaze dropping from the communicator to somewhere to the left of her. She's had enough of talking to the device on her wrist it seems, because after a moment or two the video flips and it becomes apparent that she's stood up and has started to walk through the town.

It lasts a moment longer before her wrist bumps her leg and it cuts out. ]

Does it count as choosing it for yourself if it still reminds you of your old one?

[gloryisbullshit]

Huh. Yeah, I figure, yeah. How many you got?

[hidingtiger]

[ Hey, look. He actually got a slight laugh with that. ] Depends on how many people you ask.

[gloryisbullshit]

[A little laugh from her, a big ol' fuckin grin from him.] Tchyeah! Copy that, I copy!

Party Poison. S'what I'm called, is Party Poison.

[hidingtiger]

Party Poison, huh. [ Now that he's not playing the bad guy, he's painting himself as pretty damn interesting to her. ] And did you choose that one for yourself?

[gloryisbullshit]

Huh, huh, I did indeed. You like it?

[hidingtiger]

Yeah I like it, it's a good name. It's a mouthful though, you don't shorten it?

[gloryisbullshit]

You can say Poison, if you feelin lazy. Can I ask a question, Ravengirl?

[hidingtiger]

You can ask, but I can't guarantee an answer.

[gloryisbullshit]

Who's "Shaw"?

[hidingtiger]

[ Suddenly treading veeery carefully. ]

He came after me and some of my friends, not long before I came here. He's a- well. Extremist doesn't really cover it.

[gloryisbullshit]

What does cover it? Evangelist? Radical? Evil genius?

[hidingtiger]

Psycho murderer?

[gloryisbullshit]

Aw, that don't sound so bad.

[hidingtiger]

Maybe we have different ideas of 'so bad' then.

[gloryisbullshit]

Maybe. Why don't you gimme the explicit definition?

[hidingtiger]

It's not exactly something you talk about to a face on your wrist.

[gloryisbullshit]

So you're saying you prefer a more intimate setting?

[hidingtiger]

I wouldn't say intimate, but yes. That's sort of what I'm saying.

[gloryisbullshit]

Then name it. I'll locate it.

[hidingtiger]

A fountain, that's where I am. Do you know where that is?
