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]

[Seth can't quite remember how they got here, either. It's a theme tonight.]

Is that so?

[ooc: never too late...]

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

...Yeah!

[And he's got no forethought, so he's going to swing there.]

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

[He swings too wide, and Seth can see it coming from a mile away. He catches the other man's arm and twists it, pining it behind his back.]

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

Ow. Stop!

[He twists and squirms around for a bit and then slams his free elbow back towards the other guy's torso.]

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

[The stray elbow gets him between the ribs, enough to make him stagger back a bit, but not yet go.]

Watch it!

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

[Okay that was really his best idea so aside from flailing and trying to like, catch his own leg around the other guy's and knock them both over he clearly doesn't know what to do. A few seconds later he tries the elbow thing again.]

Let go. How did you get back there.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[i-invented-dice.livejournal.com]

[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.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

[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?
