First Broadcast (Video)

[There is a man on the feed. He is not tall or short, not thin or fat, and he looks to be somewhere in his thirties, with black geometric tattoos sprawling out from the rolled-up sleeves of his sweater.

He also has just about the worst fashion sense of any man you could ever see, I'll tell you that right now.

More important than any of his other physical attributes, however, are the look of senseless fear upon his face that only years spent huddled in needless isolation can bring, as well as the oaken baritone that escapes his lips when he finally manages to speak:]


...hello? Is anyone here? I don't think this is Night Vale, I...where is this place? And why is there a woman in this house who claims to be my mother, when my real mother had always warned me to beware of any possible mirrors? Also, to beware of just about anything, but oh, you know how parents can be. I miss her so much...

Oh. I almost forgot.

[He puts on a face of stony insularity, and, with a piercing-yet-vacant glare, points at the viewer.]

INTERLOPER!

[His expression returns to normal, and he puts his hands back into the pockets of his furry pants.]

That was the traditional Night Vale greeting to all outsiders...although I suppose in this situation, I'm the interloper? It's so hard to tell when your entire life fades away in an instant, leaving behind nothing but fuzzy memories and the sense that none of it was ever real.

Sorry about that.

On to more pressing concerns.

[He gestures towards the Bronzor near him, which currently looks nothing like a Bronzor. Most of this has to do with the paper shopping bag draped over its body, hastily-cut-out eye holes visible but not helping one bit..]

Uh, does anyone have an idea what this...being eats? It didn't want any of my trail mix, and when I tried feeding it a rice ball and some pickles it just stared at the food blankly, before hovering into this house's bathroom in disappointment and concern. I am afraid that I might have offended it enough to bring a terrible curse upon us all...or at least, have it telepathically assault me, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

[ Valmont doesn't want to say anything. He almost doesn't say anything. He almost ignores this message when it plays on his Gear, like he has countless others in the past month or so. But there's one thing about this man he absolutely can't ignore, and that's what makes him hit the reply button. ]

What are you wearing?

[ Guys who wear green suits probably shouldn't throw stones, V. ]
whitehairedprettyboy: (excuse me?)

[ He wrinkles his nose. ] I'd hardly call those monstrosities "clothes". Are your pants fuzzy? Who on earth told you it was a good idea to dress yourself?

[ Why has no one in this damn world heard of a nice suit? ]
whitehairedprettyboy: (annoyed)

[ ...Well. That isn't the type of answer you get every day. Valmont can't tell if the man is messing with him or not. He's inclined, however, to think not. As he's well aware, some people are just that strange. ]

All right, look. Whatever issues you have are your own to deal with, but: the moment you get to Goldenrod City, you are going to go to the department store and you are going to buy some decent clothes. This is an order.

[ Valmont you can't actually order around people who don't work for you... ]
whitehairedprettyboy: (continue)

[ That's a very good question. ]

You'll continue to look like an idiot, I suppose.
whitehairedprettyboy: (hmph)

[personal profile] whitehairedprettyboy 2014-12-02 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, if you're all right with that. Most people don't enjoy looking like idiots, but I suppose it takes all kinds.

...What is the appeal of furry pants, exactly? [ The common people's minds are so hard to understand. ]
