[ A lot of things happened to Marco after his last post. Well, maybe not a lot, but he did things that seem pretty momentous while suffering depression. And thanks to Jesse Pinkman's rather generous donation, he was more than able to get an apartment: he was able to get a job. A real job, mind you. No more consoler Marco, little kids. Summer's over, time to go to school.

When Marco presents himself, he's in a different room now. No hotels, no plain looking beds with plain looking prints of beach paintings. No, there is a real room, a table that looks like it is actually being used. That's a real dinner plate to the side. Behind him is the kitchen, with the oven and the fridge and a toaster and something that looks suspiciously like a waffle iron.

Perhaps the most surprising change of all is Marco. Previously he looked at the NV with a mop of dark hair with crinkled clothes and eyes that just look like he is done with the Universe's jokes and wish them to stop. Now? He's brighter somehow, wearing an actual suit for once. He looks cleaner and sharper, and looks like he even took a small haircut. He still holds the swagger and the shit-eating smirk, but that cold glare he gave to everyone in his previous post is now gone. There's still no warmth to his expression, but it's cocky, as though saying Fuck you world! I'm the better comedian, and I can see the buckets of dog pee that you are and I laugh at it all.

Well, maybe people might not understand exactly what his look is describing as, but they'll get the point. If not, he will be making it clear very soon. ]

I've got a job.

[ He sounds terribly pleased with this. ]

Now, I thought about going to school. Gave it some real, deep, serious thought. I thought about home. I thought about being here. I thought about home again, and then I realize: no way I am going to be the same kid from home.

Screw home. Screw it all. Gangs are one thing, those are a dime a dozen and they still shoot you in the head. I can deal with gangs. Well, I rather not, I hate them, personally, but I can tolerate them. It's a human thing I can deal with, you know. But good God I'm tired of home. I'm tired of going to school. You know what school is? A place where you have to pretend you learn everything, do things half the time you don't even care, and come back again.

But then I have to go home, pretend I'm asleep, and go out at night to be part of a secretive guerrilla war. And Hell just happens to be directly underneath my school.

If that won't solidify your hatred for your school, I don't know what will.

So I'm going to take a job that might not give me the risk of getting shot, or disemboweled, or stealing old men's toupees.

I think being an actor covers that, don't you?

And hey, if I have to sing the praises of AGI on the side . . . well, I'm good with that too.

[The video opens from a lower perspective, showing the grungy wall of a brick building, grey and adorned with graffiti. This is clearly the less-- pleasant side of town.

And there's a man dressed in a plain tunic and trousers, hair pulled back to show the glint of an earring and-

Are his hands on fire?

There's suddenly screaming - a man, by the sound of it - and sickeningly desperate cries for help. An older man who might have looked just haggard and dumpy on any other day stumbles into the video's frame.]


Help me, please! Help!

[Yup. He's on fire.

Fenris - in Anders' body - looks at his still-burning hands completely panicked before he scoops up his NV (amazing how it remains uncharred!), thus ending the feed before he goes running off.]

[ooc | Fenris: Ending the last few days of his body-swap with a bang. Feel free to run into him as he's panicking! And NV responses will come much, much, much, much later.]

[Yosuke isn't smiling. He isn't frowning, either. He's carefully neutral, while he makes his announcement.]

If you're kind of squeamish, you shouldn't watch this.

[And then he counts to five silently. That's long enough, right? It'll have to be.]

I need some help training. I...if I had been training all this time, I could have done more. I thought I could pretend that things around here weren't as screwed up as they are, but I can't. I'm not standing down anymore.

Anyway, I can't pay in cash, but I can offer you a trade.

Someone I care about has stopped eating and has been losing a lot of weight lately. I'm worried about her but when I try to talk about it she closes up.

Is this as big a deal as I think it is? How can I help her if it is? What should I do?

Is there anyone who knows the Darkness and the city well? I have some things to find and am in need of a guide.

Message to Tim. )

For curiosity for anyone else . . . has your horoscope ever come true?

[Diego has been very quiet today. Any phone calls or messages have gone unanswered. He didn't go to work. Aside from one person, his whereabouts today have been completely unknown.

But now he's at home, sitting on his couch with a cup of coffee in hand. He's not quite sure why he's bothering to even make this, except to reassure people that he isn't dead. Or maybe to reassure himself that he isn't dead. So he can watch this message tomorrow at this time and know.

Tapping his fingers on the back of the sofa, he sighs and finally speaks.
]

It's funny, the opportunities you get in a place like this. Leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Coming back from the dead. Meeting those you've lost.

[He gazes at the cup in his hand, then sighs.]

I can't say I ever thought I'd get a second shot at the worst day of my life.

[The feed turns on, and Raul Creed and Vincent Law are on the screen. Vincent is the one standing up, and Raul is the one sitting down on a park bench, a brightly colored playground in the background. It seemed the right thing to do, to go back to what could only be the scene of the crime.]

This is a problem. Whoever has done this is going to pay. ["Vincent" says formally, very unlike how he usually talks, and the expression on his face is one of anger, much different than the usual one.

"Raul" starts to say something.]
Maybe we should--

[Then "Vincent" turns to "Raul" and yells.] Be quiet! Or better yet, get the hell out of my body! Don’t touch anything, don’t say anything, just get out of there!

If you could just let me get a word in edgewise-- ["Raul" says plaintively, before getting cut off again.

Raul is this close to tackling him, but "Vincent" looks back at the NV instead.]


This is Raul Creed speaking, and we require some assistance. Preferably of the kind that deals in supernatural means, or has had experience with this "body switching" experience already. We know that this is not the first time this has happened, but I want this man ["Vincent" points at "Raul".] Out of my body immediately.

[Ah, at last an expression that looks at home on Raul's face. He looks fed up.]

You think I'm enjoying this? I'd get out if I could, believe me. I'm not all that happy with you in my body either, you know.

["Vincent" turns back and looks at "Raul".]

Shut! Up!

[The feed ends.]

[ooc note: Raul's replies will be from Vincent's journal and vice-versa!]

Who the hell do they get to write the horoscopes? This shit is ridiculous. Look:

[Port, he's finally learned how to do multimedia messages without breaking everything. Isn't that amazing?]

You're once again a creature of genius and romance. Sadly, this special intensity rarely lasts for more than a few days at a time. Don't worry, though, because your love light flickers off and on all throughout the week. Expect overwhelming high points near mid-week. Maybe knowing this will help you between peaks when your heart sinks to subterranean levels. Your emotions enter more rational territory after Wednesday, when the distance between wishes and ability wobbles toward a reasonable balance.


Where in the hell do people get this?

[Nope not in denial about his horoscope at all, no sir.]

If they're gonna keep publishing this shit, at least make it entertaining. Weekly World News unbelievable, at least, not this crystals and true love crap.
