motherflocker: Look at that tux (Classy Motherfucker)

.10. Video

[ The feed clicks on to a rather posh desk. Very posh, actually, despite the stands where they are very obviously very well-loved by the birds that occasionally perch there. Oddly enough, there is not the just the usual accompaniment of Percival, but a new face as well, a bird that looks like none other. Something with vibrant feathers, a rather musical-like chirp, and a face that still looks like it's drinking in every detail. There's a definite intelligence in the bird's face, and it literally looks like something that some people would recognize as something that looks vaguely like something from TíraFórsae. ]

It's curious, how exciting things continue to be, isn't it? One thing after another, after another.

[ He's smoking, and he waves a hand, smoke curling from the cigarette, and drifting back and forth across the screen. ] And yet life does need to go on, doesn't it? No matter what nonsense seems to come up from one week to another. Thankfully, things seem to be a bit more low key now.

I was thinking that perhaps something a bit more low-key is in order, hm? I've been feeling rather inspired lately, if I do say so myself.

Next Friday would be the perfect time, and I was considering something of a theme. After all, most of us wore some sort of costume at one time or another, didn't we? Although I do think this will be a bit more vintage than most are used to. Something historical, I think. [ He waves his hand, like he's coming up with it at the drop of a hat, but everything is perfectly considered and carefully plotted.

He smiles at the camera, something sharp and just a touch sharp.
] I know how people here enjoy nostalgia, after all.

[ And then he lifts in front of the camera a cardstock version of a poster that's going to be making the rounds in places where... posters show up. Advertising, of all things, a 50's themed night. He even looks a little pleased at the prospect. ]

[ There's avian avid curiosity in her expression when she peers into the camera, the first part of the feed catching her attention more than the latter. She doesn't recognize it, but there's something about that bird that reminds her vividly of her own Chain and its eerie, inhuman intelligence. ]

I've never seen a bird like that before. [ A relatively inane opener, but she really is curious about it. ]

Really, in the City, we also have to get into the issue of which version of that past. But all of it aside, I hope the theme is more about the pleasant parts than the historical accuracy.

Gypaetus barbatus.

[He's sure that the man has said something very important and exciting to the inhabitants of the City, but Dan is far more interested in Ozzie's two friends. He frowns at the other bird having no idea what species it could be]

Is, um, is your other friend from your own world?

[Next to Dan a white face peers into the camera, seems to huff, and then moves back out of view]

...don't be rude.

[More like he's Dan's stalker if birds can be stalkers]

She isn't from here; I've been looking through the Internet and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that species. Do you know where she came from?

Very balanced decision-making. According to my sources, things that fall into the vintage-retro category are always in style because of how long they've been out of style. It's a delicate balance of reverence and total irreverence. [ This is what fictional high school girls and select community college students taught him. ]
