No. 23 [video] god my timing is horrible - BACKDATED to this afternoon

[hackeralastair]

*the feed opens on Alastair...in a wetsuit. A wet wetsuit, and the tips of his hair are damp as well*

Heheh. Greetings from Lima. What, did you think I was gonna pop on to show you guys shots of Macchu Picchu or something? *snort* Hell no. I mean yeah, we went to see it. We flew over Nazca. We did all kinds of stuff like that. But the reason I've been having a blast down here has nothing to do with Incan relics, lemme tell you...

*an attractive local in a similar wetsuit passes by in the background, and Alastair takes a second to ogle him and flash a grin before continuing*

Let's see, today I learned how to surf. The water's a little cold 'cause it's almost winter here but that's what thermal wetsuits are for. Last night I went out to a club called Xcess, and boy was it ever. There's some fantastic coffeehouses in Miraflores and...oh! Did you know there's a China Town in Lima? There totally is! I had some pretty awesome Mandarin food there.

I mean, we've been all over the place and seen all kinds of touristy things, but historical stuff is...eh. I can appreciate it for what it is but after a while, dude. Give me night clubs and surfing beaches any day. I don't even need my power to know I'm looking for a good discoteca. I'm gonna try to hit Bauhaus before I leave.

Enjoy your wars and shit, heroes. I'm on vacation till this weekend. Adios! *smug wave*

Damn, was I ever wrong when I thought Lima was just a bunch of old rocks! Kekekeke!

[hackeralastair]

You were so wrong, man. It's a little on the chilly side for the water but that isn't stopping the locals any, so I figured, why the hell not.

[hellcommander.livejournal.com]

Well you've got a wetsuit. Those keep you pretty toasty.

[hackeralastair]

Yeah. It's pretty sweet.

I mean, it's no Tahiti, but I'll take what I can get. Actually, you'd probably like it here. There's casinos.

[hellcommander.livejournal.com]

Casinos you say! Well, I am a fucking gambling man, kekekeke!

[hackeralastair]

Gee, you don't say? *snerk* Yeah, I saw the ads for 'em and totally thought of you. Lima's a pretty hip city, it's not all Incan ruins and pueblos around here you know.

[strongest-tool.livejournal.com]

Nazca? Were the lines all there? They weren't starting anything, were they!?

[hackeralastair]

Hey, short stuff. Yeah, the lines are all there, nice and ancient-like. They're just lines on the ground - lots of tourists were there like us to see 'em.

[strongest-tool.livejournal.com]

Well, goo-

....SHORT STUFF?!

[hackeralastair]

What? Are you denying that you're shorter than me?

[strongest-tool.livejournal.com]

Well - I'm not - well I'm not short stuff, even then!

[hackeralastair]

What's the matter, don't like the nickname? I could call you munchkin or something, that's even worse.

[Voice] Later that evening.

[shiromadoushi]

[[sounding a bit tired and doing that 'nope, nothing's wrong' voice]]

Heeeh, glad you're having fun still!

I'm back home now. So you don't worry or anything.

[Voice]

[hackeralastair]

*by now he's caught up on the sudden breaking news as well*

DUDE. What the hell happened out there? You're home, you're all right then?

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

I'm not even really sure. I didn't know anything was going on until Vector showed up to get me.

Un, I'm home. I may go to Ben's, though. It's a little lonely here without everyone. [[sounds just a touch shaken by everything, but is doing his best to put it in perspective and not be bothered by it.]]

[Voice]

[hackeralastair]

Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. Find somebody to hang out with for a while, till I get back. I'll see if I can get my flight bumped up but I don't know how easy that'll be. Not like I can do a hell of a lot back home either, besides just sit around going 'man that sucks.'

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Don't worry about bumping your flight, enjoy your last few days! I'll be fine, really!

[voice]

[cancersparkles.livejournal.com]

Peru is beautiful, isn't it? Sounds like you're enjoying yourself.

I take it all the Lines were in their proper positions? [She lets out a slight chuckle. She's kidding, of course. Maybe.]

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

It has its moments. *never minding that his idea of beauty is probably much different from hers*

Uh...yeah. They're giant petroglyphs, I can't imagine them going anywhere...

[voice]

[cancersparkles.livejournal.com]

Meet any friendly locals?

Heh, you never know... Some of them like to vanish every five-thousand years or so. [Still playful in tone, but no laughing this time.]

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

A few. It helps when you can speak the language - any language.

*yeah, he knows a little about the Lines and the Signers, thanks to Kiryu* ...I don't think you guys have anything to worry about in this dimension. It's all good.

[voice]

[cancersparkles.livejournal.com]

Any...? [She'll speak Quechua now.] Well, that's a useful talent. I certainly wish more people had it. I can't recall what language most of the people in this city speak, but I can't understand a word of it.

Hn. Glad to here it. Still, this dimension is wrought with evil, the likes of which I don't at all care for. And that boy is present...
