Gabriel - Video - 02

[hung_garian]

You can all quit freaking out over The Box now. After painstaking investigation, I can reveal that it contains - a cat. It's simultaneously alive and dead. Hence all the funny scratches - if you ever tried getting your feline friend into a carrier, you'll know what I mean. Claws are not fun, kids, no matter what Whitesnake say. And that goes double for the undead kitty kind. Unhygienic on top of painful, double ouch.

[Needless to say, Gabriel is bored. Also needless to say (hopefully), none of that was true.]

So since that's all sorted out, who likes the idea of celebratory drinks? Sure, we might not technically have a bar, but where there's life there's booze, as my dear old gran used to say. Well, before she got packed off to rehab, anyway.

[He grimaces, despite not even having a grandmother.]

Anyway. Takers? Ladies, don't be shy. Doctor Barrett, that means you too, awful drinking habits notwithstanding.

How are you at code-breaking?

[primogen_vampirate]

Darling, how could I possibly say no to that?

Frankly, I think a little party would do everyone some good.

[noblexcompanion]

Zombie kitty? seriously?

[saltline]

[ It's always five o' clock somewhere right? ]

There's a bar.

[ Aside from that... ]

Somehow, 'm sensing you didn't even look into what that stupid box in the middle of town is. I'm generally not worried about a zombie outbreak as much as I'm just annoyed with it sitting there right now.

[hung_garian]

Can't say I've actually tried it, but I saw a movie about it and that looked pretty easy. So going by that and the fact that I'm fantastic at everything, I'd say... pretty good.

[hung_garian]

Exactly. And if it's in the interests of doing everyone some good, it makes me an altruistic public-spirited individual, instead of just an alcoholic.

[hung_garian]

Seriously. Guy won a Nobel prize for that, y'know.

[No, Gabriel, he really didn't.]

[primogen_vampirate]

You're a true giver.

[hung_garian]

There's a bar and no one told me? You know, sometimes I start to think you guys just don't enjoy my company.

[He shrugs.]

A box is a box and in this case, that's apparently all it is. It hasn't done anything, the inscriptions are mindnumbingly banal, and I've lost interest.

[theshield_agent]

[Well that sounds just stellar.]

Any chance that I can get you to see if you can pick out a code in all the nonsense on that cube before or after you party?

[hung_garian]

Well, my crippling modesty prevents me from agreeing with you outright, but I do so hate to argue.

[hung_garian]

Well, after seems more likely, but on the other hand if I'm having trouble walking in a straight line my code-breaking skills might not be world-class either.

[primogen_vampirate]

You'd only lose.

[hung_garian]

Perhaps. Out of courtesy.

[primogen_vampirate]

Oh, no, dear. I'm just that good.

[hung_garian]

I don't doubt you're good, but honey, I'm a very experienced cheat. Did you not read your Gylfaginning?

[primogen_vampirate]

It's been awhile. And I've been busy.

[hung_garian]

Let's put it this way, you don't want me reminding you.

[noblexcompanion]

Before or after he got eaten by the zombie cat?

[hung_garian]

After, of course. It's not a proper scientific breakthrough without a gory death.

[primogen_vampirate]

Should I take your word for that? You are a known liar.

[hung_garian]

I'm known for a lot of things. Some of which do perhaps include poor decision-making skills. If you don't remember, I'm not telling.

[primogen_vampirate]

A poor decision? I'm crushed.

[hung_garian]

It wasn't a decision involving you, unless there's something huge you aren't telling me.

[primogen_vampirate]

Only that I'm egocentric.

So where is this party of yours going to be?
