019 ∞ VIDEO // ACTION

[Nathan is at a pub. A very, very crowded pub. He's nursing the dregs of a beer, glaring a the people at the bar who are squished up against him.]

You know, they really ought to think it through before bringing so many people at once. How's a man supposed to get served with these bastards crowding up the place? It's really incon--

[And then he cuts off, tensing and making choked noises. His hands go up to his throat, as though trying to tear something off.]

Barry!

[And then he falls off the bar stool, kicking off the device and his pint whilst he's at it. The drinks of a few unfortunate people nearby also fall off the bar, smashing as they hit the floor. Only Nathan's flailing legs are visible on the screen now, but his wheezing and choking, with a few protests about "Barry's" actions thrown in for good mention.  ("Barry, no!  Don't put your cock in there!" and such.  Nathan is classy as ever.)

The display is basically Nathan's equivalent of "Don't think I didn't see what happened last time. Where the hell are my friends? :|" Unfortunately, he's cut off by a rather angry sounding man.]


Oi! How many times do I have to tell you you're barred?


Am I? You only said you didn't want to see me again! You never said anything about barring.

I told you before. I won't tell you again. Get up. Now.

All right, all right... just let me get my-- [Nathan's hand covers the screen and the feed cuts off.]

[ooc: Open for anything and everything! Action outside the pub he just got thrown out of, if you don't want the devices. Blue text is just an NPC pub owner.]

[A girl, possibly 16, flips on video. She's laughing, but she's in shadow, and wearing big, hipster-style sunglasses.]

That was AMAZING. Who's 'Barry' meant to be? A ghost?

[She doesn't believe a word of it, but she's smirking at him. Also, she's technically 61, Nathan, so...]

Not much of a friend, then, is he? And... [A finger to her lips, fingernail painted hot pink.] Are you saying you're emotionally vulnerable?

[Appleby pouts sympathetically at him. She knows it's a game, but she knows how to play. Also, she would be very offended at "old woman". She is 16, thank you very much! ...sometimes 15 when she feels like acting younger. But basically 16!]

We both know that's not true.

[She's doing the doll-equivalent of narrowing her eyes in thought behind those sunglasses. Might as well throw caution to the wind, it's her very first vacation, after all!]

Is there anywhere trendy here you know about? A club? I might choose to go with you if there is. It would have to be properly at night, though. My skin's very sensitive, and as a model, I can't afford to spoil it.

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-19 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I'm a model, can't you tell? [Demonstrative hands with spread fingers around her face.] And I'm asking now. Tell me where it is and I'll meet you inside at...10.

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes? And which of the second two is it you do? [But she's giggling, she can't stay flippant.] I'm the first and the last. Mostly the first. I'm really fairly exclusive and I can't afford to put up too many amateur photos.


[She is. She wanted to be, so she's there slightly early, even. She doesn't want him witnessing the methods she has to go to to get in without being looked at too closely by bouncers. She'll be sitting inside at a table in the club, watching the crowd so he can't creep up and surprise her.]

Myspace. And it's your choice, now, whether you think I'm being rude or polite by that.

[Appleby doesn't notice him straight off, but she does notice him before he's done at the bar. She eyes him, considers, and moves out from the corner, to make herself more noticeable. She doesn't go over, though. She can't drink, Nathan wouldn't understand a pretend, and it's easier for them both if she just avoids interacting with him until he's finished.]

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody, obviously.

[Appleby waves at him, a small, casual, cool-person wave. She's wearing sunglasses in a club, but she is clearly a hipster, so it's not actually that odd, is it? She's also wearing thin, fingerless gloves. She learned her lesson after the time she went to the club with Tony in the 90s.] Hey.

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Appleby leans forward conspiratorily, her hair falling more forward around her face, and her sunglasses tilting slightly so that her srs bsns raised eyebrows are visible. She is about to be outrageous.]

Oh, I could lie and say that it is merely my style as a fashionable woman of mystery, but I can feel you're too clever for me. You'd know right away I wasn't being honest. In actuality, you're completely right. I'm blind. However, I've developed a deep connection to the world around me and developed all my other senses so much that nobody would ever know. You are the first to discover my secret.

[Appleby holds up her hands briefly and wiggles her fingers.] I have chronically cold hands. It's why I wear gloves. You wouldn't want that. [She's having to 'bite' her lips together a bit, though. This boy is ridiculous.]

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind of girl do you think I am? [She rests her chin on her hand.] I have very delicate skin, I'll have you know. Besides, I don't even know your name yet.

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Nathan. I'm the kind who doesn't take off her gloves.

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pout. There'd be wide eyes too if Appleby was capable.] Are you saying I don't NOW?

[identity profile] truculentsoul.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Appleby giggles, and spreads her hands out in front of her on the table.] Are you into hands?
