Video.
Who: Sam and you!
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Bloodsport or Iskaulit Bar if you find a way to squeeze in an action thread!
When: Today or whatevs, but backdated stuff is cool too.
[The last week has been really, really rough. Most people probably know.
He's been all but nonexistent for that entire week, and a few days after, too. Buried in hell memories and glitched to the point of barely functioning, he had stayed aboard the Bloodsport mostly with Nami. For the better, he knows later on; Nami understood him best, when it came to that side of him. It doesn't make him anymore ashamed and embarrassed that people had to see that. It makes him a bit depressed in the short time that follows. He wakes up on the third as himself — himself now, anyway. But he decided to just sleep for a day or two and try not to think about all the baggage.
But — he'll get pushed to move eventually, and the bar does need bartenders.
He will be out at the bar as he had been before the glitch.
It was what it was, he reminds himself. It was a part of him, and it's... well, it's not over, it'll never be over, but he's come a long way. He's better than that husk he'd been in the garden. He adapted and he survived. That has to count for something.
Still, there's some things to address.]
[Video.]
Hey, guys, I'm alive. Sorry for being so MIA at the bar, but I'm back now... Let me know if I missed anything.
[He's much better. See?? No burns or scars, and he's got his hair brushed, and everything is A-OK.]
I wanted to... apologize to everyone who ran into me, last week. I, uh, I said some pretty miserable crap and I know I sounded like a crazy person. And I just wanted to thank you guys for putting up with, um... that part of me. It's been years, and I'm much better now, and I don't... want anyone to - [He pauses, wringing a rag from the bar in his hands.] - to worry or anything like that.
I'm okay now.
So If you need a drink, I'll be here.
[A deep breath.]
Well... I don't want to just leave it on that note, so.
... Aaaah, let me think.
...
What's something you've accomplished that you're really proud of?

What's something you've accomplished that you're really proud of?
video; private
We kind of get by... illegally. Um. Credit cards under fake names and hustling pool and poker games, and stuff. Luckily we have a normal residence now we own, so we pay way less than we used to, to stay places.
[He can't bring himself to speak past tense about his brother.
It's easier to just... forget what happened back home, the last few weeks.]
video; private
My understanding of the modern world is that children do not work, so that is why I ask. It is a little strange to me, since boys start young learning their fathers' crafts.
[the talk about legality does amuse her though, and she cracks a real smile] I do not know what credit cards or hustling means. But I used to pickpocket for money when I was not being paid to be a criminal, so I know what living illegally is like.
video; private
Hustling is... well, it's when you pretend to be too drunk to make good decisions. You play like crap for the first half of the game you're playing, up the betting pool, then miraculously get really good at the game in the last half.
So I mean, it's not... technically illegal.
Most people don't appreciate it, though.
video; private
Is that what it is called? Then I know what it is, I have done that. But not with pool.
No, they do not appreciate it at all.
video; private
Yep, that's sure it. I haven't done it recently though.
... I mean, maybe once or twice on waystations.
[A dimpled grin, albeit a little sheepish. Oops?]
video; private
One must do what one must do, yes?
[does she condone this sort of terrible behavior?
You bet your ass she does]
video; private
Guess so.
I try to be good otherwise.
video; private
Do you? That's no fun.

A book and a little music sounds like a good time.

We can have reading circles set up, then, for us boring people.

[...]
What is a - reading circle?

[He grins, a little bit of a cheeky bastard.
Younger brother, this one.]
video; private
That is the smartass tone of a little brother for sure.
This is the face of an older sibling who is not at all impressed]
I did not know it was literal.

What do you think? It'd be a nice way to pass the time in space.
video; private
I suppose it is. I do something like that with a friend sometimes.

My door is always open to you, Sam.
