003 ☠ video/action
[ Evening, Network. It's been awhile since you've seen this kid on the network, but here he is. The video starts with him trying to adjust the communicator on the coffee table in the living room of his residence, though it falls over and there's an obvious "aw devilshits" in the darkness.
Ok, try again.
Looks like we're being picked up again and we see two curious green eyes behind thick, rectangular glasses. He sets the communicator up on a hard surface again and then steps back, muttering something incoherent to himself before he steps back and adjusts himself a little.
This is Jake. This is Jake with his hair actually combed and his face free from dirt and bruises. He's a bit over dressed for the communicator, wearing this. Just where the hell did he get that anyway?
The teen shuffles back against the living room sofa, the area brightened up by a mere lamp. Then, he lounges, crossing one ankle over the other and we see he's still wearing his combat boots. What a nerd. ]
Greetings fellow residents. Uhmm.
[ Oh wait. He's pulling out a piece of paper now. It's obvious he's shaking by the way he's holding it and he reads off of it. ]
If I am not terribly mistaken, the holiday known as Valentine's Day is coming up within a duo weeks, and it would be my greatest honor to escort an individual on this day. It is absolutely peachy if you want this not to be anything too, uhm, forward on the romancing spectrum, but rather just one of comradery, especially if I am unacquainted with you.
[ A deep breath. He withdraws from his pocket a handkerchief and paps his face down a little. He lowers the paper and looks at the camera. ]
I've never celebrated Valentine's Day, so, uhhhhhh. I don't want to be alone for this holiday. And while friends and what have you are absolutely splendid, it is customary to have a specific date if I am understanding correctly. I guess.. that's it? I'm asking in advance so may chance we can get to know each other first, or plan accordingly on schedule. I'll make sure to take care of the dinner one way or another!
[ He'll be spearing fishes and preparing it that way, jsyk. ]
Uhhh, shoo. Well, thanks.
[ /end personal advertisement. He'll reach way over and click the communicator off. ]
[ Action available for room mates! ]

[ jake you're making this too complicated. ]
no subject
Jake no this is a terrible idea. There are feelings involved here that just make the entire situation sticky as fuck and it'd probably be better to just not touch it at all. You go get your one night awkward date with someone. Or stay home. Or whatever. I don't even know anymore.
[ WHY IS THIS SO TRICKY ]
no subject
Feelings? Whose feelings?
[ cause yep playing dumb with the whole dirk thing here.. ]
no subject
So many feelings.
no subject
no subject
[ OH NO, MR. ENGLISH. SHE'S NOT SPILLING BEANS. ]
no subject
And you said people, so it's more than one!
Who are they?
no subject
no subject
Roxy! It's you and Dirk! I know this without a doubt!

no subject
It's alright, Roxy! There isn't any reason to be shy about this. I mean, I hope you aren't terribly offended, I'm just a little caught off guard with this discovery.
I never really considered you in that sort of category cause I guess I didn't precisely reciprocate those kind of feelings for you?
Though, I always found you a rather sharp sort of lady; attractive, too. Who knows what could happen in due time to get to know you on a more escalated, romantic level.
I certainly don't.
But, wow, that makes a lot of sense the more I think about all those sketchy remarks you've made to me before. I feel silly I didn't catch any of your hints.
[ a beat. ]
You want to meet up and talk more about this?
no subject
Fuck she could go for a drink right about now. ]
You know what? No. Fuck this. Fuck this noise right in the ass. We're all gonna sit down and we're gonna have a god damn feelings powwow 'cause I can't do this.
I ain't sayin' yes. I ain't sayin' no. I'm sayin' that we all need to screw our heads on straight and those who may or may not have a crush on Mr. English need to come forward and tell him!
[ BREAAAAAAAAAATHEEEEEEEEEEEE ]
no subject
[ He leans out of the camera for a moment, then pokes his head back in. ]
Could we rain check that?
I have to wrestle Mr. Eridan soon.
no subject
[ Way to slam on the brakes there, Jake. ]
--You're wrestling Eridan?
no subject
Yes! Shucks, weeks without fistciuffs and he agrees to wrestle me! I think I may have pissed him off some how and he said he wanted to hit me so I said oh god please do that and he got really confused so I said I'd tell him to fused him with Mr. Sollux if he would wrestle with me!
I said I wanted to do this shirtless like a real man!
[ look how proud. ]
Aw, I love him so much he's such a good pal!
no subject
[ Okay hold on let her just... okay.
Okay. ]
...I gotta fuckin' see this.
