03 - and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man

[righthandedragon]

[ The feed opens not from Rand's hand, although the view was of the sleeping man, but from Mat's. Given that Mat didn't really have that good of a grip on it for taking video - one of his fingers was half on the camera - this probably wasn't on purpose.

Mat has a brush in hand. He keeps grumbling things under his breath as he doodles things on the sleeping man's face, careful not to get ink in his hair. ]

Just like you, sleeping through a bloody invasion. Of some other place's Shadow! [ Mat adds the other half of a mustache - a long curly one - with a flourish. ]

Think that may be why it didn't wake me. [ At Rand's words, Mat yelped, wobbled, spilled his ink over himself, and fell off the stool. The SFC dropped to the floor as well. Rand sat up, resting his chin on his hand and watched with some amusement. ]

Blood and bloody ashes, Rand! You've been asleep for a flaming month and a half in this bloody place and that's the first thing you say? Light! [ As Mat pushed himself up, his hat slid free of his head and his scarf free of his neck, showing the awkwardly flat mostly-closed left eye, and a vivid scar circling his neck. ]

I wasn't aware it was that long, but that may explain why you reacted so much that your clothing is beginning to fall free. [ With a yelp, Mat went to tie his scarf again. ]

((OOC: Rand is back among the awake, and replies will be from both Rand and Mat. Rand is red, Mat is green~))

Aww~ The sleeping beauty awoke after all~

[Just. Amused forever, don't mind him.]

Video

[righthandedragon]

I'm flattered, but I'm married.

[princeoftheravens]

[Mat rolls his eye, resting an arm on his knees.]

To three flaming women. Rand, this is Johnny. He started a school here.

[not_heavens_adam]

Mmmm~ At least the scenery can still be appreciated, hmm~?

Video

[princeoftheravens]

[Mat snorts, turning to face the SFC. When had it turned on...?]

Finally.

Video

[not_heavens_adam]

[He winks.]

Mmm....next time, do the face-marking after the first week, or so, that way you've given the person enough time to wake up, but then they're less likely to wake up on you~

Or you could even start on the first day and escalate from there~!

[princeoftheravens]

[He grins. He should probably tell Johnny that he is married too, but later. He was still waiting for Perrin to tease him about it, no need to announce it on the network- and get teased on the network. By both of his friends, most likely.]

If it happens again, maybe I will! [He picks his hat up and places it back on his head.]

Light! Considering he didn't wake up when I tried moving him a while ago, I didn't think something like this [He waves the brush] would wake him. Shows what little I know.

Video

[not_heavens_adam]

[Johnny nods sagely as if this is a very serious conversation. Clearly how to mark up a person's face is important!]

Yes, sometimes it's the smallest thing. I tried several things with Crowley including yelling at him. But, wouldn't you know it, it was a tiny kiss that woke him up~ Should've known~

Apparently, it's the small things~

Maybe I should have let Mat draw on you sooner, Rand.

[For all that he's amused by the little exchange, there's obvious relief in his voice, too.]

[Video]

[princeoftheravens]

[Hi Perrin. He smiles at the SFC. Grumpy he might be from falling off the stool, and his scarf and hat falling off him, he is relieved that Rand finally woke up. Even if he'd have preferred the SFC not to have turned on and not to have fallen off the stool.]

Maybe. Let's try this first if he falls asleep for more than a bloody week again. [Who knows, it might work. Though he'd resort to other tricks if it didn't.]

[Video]

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[You can't be that grumpy if you're smiling.]

Agreed. It's certainly easier than trying the coral.

[Video]

[princeoftheravens]

[True. But then again, forcing smiles is certainly a skill he has. He nods.]

When did the SFC turn on? [Since. He hadn't meant to turn Rand's SFC on at all. He just hadn't wanted it to get ink dripped on it. What is Mat's logic...]

[Video]

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[Perrin had sort of figured Mat intended to take the video after finishing his masterpiece.]

While you were muttering to yourself. Before the mustache.

[lunaria]

. . . nice view.

[For both men. Except not really. Because hello, he can see everything from a most likely unintentional broadcast.]

video;

[princeoftheravens]

[What. Kurow. What do you mean? His scarf came undone showing his scar, not a nice view. Never a nice view. The people here don't know about it, unlike almost everyone and their mothers back in his world, though they thought he'd hung for much longer than he had. ...Best not to think about how they learned.

But he just sighs and waves a little, placing his hat back on his head.]

Hello, boy.

video;

[lunaria]

[Sarcasm, Matrim, learn it. Or, well, Kurow saw the vivid scar, but he has no intention of prying.

The address prompts him to puff up his chest. He has a name, and it is far more notable than "boy."]

The name's Kurow! By the way, was this even supposed to be on? Seems kinda strange for a broadcast of choice.

video;

[princeoftheravens]

[He should. It'd help to be able to tell when people aren't being serious.

...Kurow, you're reminding him of Olver a bit now. Except that was "And my name's Olver, not boy". Maybe he should make an effort to learn people's names so he wouldn't keep calling them boy.]

Kurow then. My name is Mat. And it wasn't. [He kinda wants to hide behind his hat...]

video;

[lunaria]

[Would you call a girl "boy," Matrim. That would be awful.

Kurow nods understandingly, committing the name to memory. Short and simple. Easy.]

Mat. Should I leave you guys alone, then?

video;

[tsundyne]

[...Oh.

That's um. Well, kind of awkward. The only reason she even watched the broadcast all the way through was because she recognized Mat, and Rand's name-- but she has to avert her eyes.

She pulls herself together for a response though, at least.]

So he's been asleep, huh?

[From their last conversation, she hadn't even been sure of Rand was in the city. Nice to meet the guy in person... or, well. Through the SFC.]

video;

[righthandedragon]

That seems to be what everyone is saying. [ Hello person who seems to know a bit, Rand is going to pick up his SFC now, and settle it so that both of them are visible. Oops, his left hand is most definitely a stump, but he doesn't seem bothered by it. ]

video;

[tsundyne]

[Yukari doesn't seem to mind it either. At least Mat told her about it, so...she was kind of expecting it, really. There's a friendly smile, and she figures she'd better tell him all this before he labels her a creeper.]

Hah, 'morning then. Mat's told me a bit about you...

My name's Yukari.

video;

[righthandedragon]

Is it morning? [ Rand sits properly up on that couch and..

Realizes he's not quite in the same room he remembered. Seems to be lots of new about this place. Huh. ]

Rand al'Thor, although you seem to know that.

video;

[princeoftheravens]

[Awkward is almost the story of Mat's life. But he nods at the SFC, fiddling with the end of his hastily retied scarf.]

He fell asleep a couple of days before we met.

video;

[tsundyne]

[Yukari has fallen into a sleep coma before-- and although she was grateful for the rest, waking up has never been so weird She can sympathize with Rand here.]

You must've been worried.

video;

[princeoftheravens]

[From what Perrin said, he knows when it turned on. So he nods.]

Yeah. You haven't found an archery range yet? [He was worried, there's no point in hiding that. But changing the topic is something he kinda wants to do. Not much more to say about him being worried over Rand sleeping.]
