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

[ 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~))

[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.

[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.

[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...]

[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?

[No. No, he wouldn't. He's got that much sense.

Mat shrugs.]

If you want. I was just going to tell him what happened while he was sleeping. [Since things did happen. Sure, that hadn't been his plan - to (accidentally) make a post and Rand waking up during it - but he had been planning on explaining what happened beforehand when he woke up.]

[That seems reasonable -- until a memory sparks in him and Kurow leans in, his head tilted as he scrutinizes the screen.]

. . . You gonna ask him about that?

[That...that....what is that...OH! Mat shrugs.]

I did what I said I would. He hasn't read it yet.

Tell me how that goes next time, dude. I'll let you guys talk now -- and read.

[So with a nod, he moves into the disconnect.]
