2nd Deal - [accidental video/action]

[powerguy]

[The camera opens to a blurry close-up shot of a face. It pulls back, focuses, and reveals That New Guy with the tattoo and the accent. He's got a cut lip, and looks in a mild state of shock. He wipes his hand across the back of his face, wiping the blood off. Then something in his expression hardens.]

So that's how it's going to be, yeah?

[The camera pulls back just in time for him to tug his shirt off, tossing it out of shot.]

Come on, then.



[ooc: Seth is cursed and cursed hard. Please feel free to bump into him and get into some fisticuffs. NEW CR Y/Y. Also, you're welcome. :-P]

[It only takes Seth a few moments to wrestle the other man to the ground, holding him down with a knee to the small of his back. He did nail him a few more times with those flailing elbows and he's a little out of breath.]

[ooc: ffff okay so sorry this got completely lost in my inbox under a pile of Christmas party tags.]

Ow! Okay, you win! Whoever you are. [He's breathing heavily but that's more for unnecessarily spent energy than anything, although being pinned down and constantly talking probably doesn't help.] I mean, I haven't hit you really and I might try again but mostly I'm starting to think that's not going to work and you're quite big and you have really a nice, thing, whatever it is -- I haven't really got a point here.

[ooc: You are forgiven. THIS TIME X-(]

[Seth gets off the other man pretty quickly, sitting on the ground next to him.]

Right. Thanks, I guess.

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

[He just sort of rolls away from the guy onto his back and lays there because ow.]

Sure thing. Who are you, again? Or firstly. Did we even do that to begin with?

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Seth. I'm new round 'ere.

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Me too. I'm Harry. Just got here like... three days ago.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Just been a week, me.

[One of Harry's flailing limbs actually managed to get him in the jaw, and he's massaging it a little.]

Bit of a weird welcome, innit?

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

Yeahhhh, I'm not too sure how much I like this place yet. Everybody's nice and all, and meeting a twin I didn't know I had was... well, actually a little annoying but that was more because everyone keeps calling me Tony than because of him specifically, but the bare-knuckle boxing matches I can probably do without. Did I actually hit you?

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

You have a long lost twin? I thought that only happened in the soaps.

[He rubs his jaw once more before dropping his hand.]

's alright. I think I hit you back.

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Weirdest thing. Except not totally, but still. Although I think it happens a little more often here than normal, which might actually be weirder.

Oh, you did, don't worry. I don't even want to touch my face. I'm just not used to hitting what I'm aiming at unless it's moving really fast. Or I'm moving really fast.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

You're better at aiming when you're going fast?

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's adrenaline. You know like how you're better at something when you don't think about it?

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Not really, no.

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

Oh. Huh. Maybe that's just me. Gut-instinct kind of guy. Usually it works out pretty well, actually. I guess I'd rather have a better gut and less thought than have to think about everything and never think it's the right thing.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Suppose you're right, yeah.

[Seth is so lost but way too amused to stop him.]

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

[That works for Harry.]

So what do you do? [Because a year in LA has taught him this is a totally acceptable way to get to know someone.]

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Harry. Your new friend deals magical powers. He's not about to bring that up yet.]

In this place? Nothing, yet.

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

[Probably a good thing. Harry'd bombard the hell out of him with questions.]

Oh, right. A week. Yeah I guess that's not really enough time to work anything out too much. I still gotta find a place to stay and shit. Welcome Center's nice once you can find the place though. I mean, you can't really stay there, but they're nice. The people are.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

I'm at the centre as well. I need to start looking for a flat.

So what do you do at home, then?

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. A... flat.

[Tilts his head.] I don't have a place to stay here yet, I don't really do anything at home without one.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Guess that's fair enough. If feels weird to, you know, settle down in this place. I still don't even know how real it is.
