[ 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 always nostalgia for something.

[musement]

Ideally balanced with a hope for the future. But let me see you would be...from the 60s, 70s?

[backatthehotel]

1977.

[musement]

The start of Star Wars. Yeah, you're in for a let down these days.

[backatthehotel]

Oh, love. Not you too.

[musement]

What can I say. I'm a bit of a movie buff.

[backatthehotel]

I don't care about the movies. The whole thing with my time being that much better than today. Drives me mad.

[musement]

Oh, no. All times have their good and bad parts. Honestly, it's the personal experience that decides the real worth of a time period to an individual. Even history is only a carefully recorded account of personal events, riddled with the writers own bias.

Anyway. The Star Wars franchise specifically went way down hill.

[backatthehotel]

I can agree with that. Thank you.

I liked the effects. But the writing went a bit stupid. I only ever saw any of them here, though.

[musement]

Too busy with your own art?

[backatthehotel]

1977, we were on tour. Not a lot of time for the cinema.

[musement]

Now that's a big step down between there and here. I know the feeling.

[backatthehotel]

You would think so. I don't have much of a problem with it. I was having a hard time with the whole "success" thing. It all went very Syd Barrett. So this is quite a nice change.
