[it was perfect... the formulas, the design. Pure genius! He could hardly contain himself, throwing off his gloves and tucking his goggles up onto his head, Billy sweeps out of his laboratory, not bothering to even shut the panel behind him]

Triumph, my friend! I did it!! It took longer than I initially thought, but I finally--

[Moist waves him off from his place in front of the TV] --Hang on, can you believe this? [pointing a half-eaten candy cane at the screen] Commander Benevolence and the Golden Titan are leading the Christmas parade this year.

[immediately, Billy's excitement switches to indignation, and he walks over to the couch]

You're kidding me. Wasn't Golden Titan the one who gilded his entire mansion two months ago? And now they're setting him up as some sort of mascot for a holiday that's supposed to be about goodwill and charity??

[Moist shrugs] He's also the one who sold the most action figures this year.

Tch. See, this is exactly what I can't stand about this stupid holiday. It's, like, World Hypocrite Day. Or... Praise the Corporations Eve.

[the bitching goes on for a few contented minutes before the doorbell to their apartment rings]

--Hey, did you invite someone over or something?

Yeah, just a couple of the guys. Pink Pummeler said he'd bring over Monopoly - the Global Domination edition.

Oh, sweet!


((ooc: open to absolutely anyone who wants to hang out with a couple of baddies. Just ring the doorbell!))

[he shrugs off his leather jacket and flips it over his shoulder, offering his free hand] Hard Harry. I'm new in town. Heard this was the place to be.

[the castle seems to be throwing him around into random people's dreams - and he's decided the best thing is to roll with it]

[perfect. he edges past with a grin] Monopoly? It's good enough, I guess, if you like shameless commercialism. Talk about a golden calf dedicated to The System. [he snickers]

I was always fond of playing Backwards Life. You know. You start out retired, lose your kids, your family, your money, your job ... and then it ends with you back in hell.

You know. High school.

[yeah, what you said]

Seriously?! I didn't even know they MADE one like that. I mean, sure, there's the shitty ones based on movies, but ... this sounds like it could actually be a worthwhile game. Please, PLEASE tell me that they changed Community Chest into something to do with anarchy.

Underground. [he rolls the word around a little, savoring it, as he gives Moist one of those cool-guy "hi" nods]

Speaking as a pirate DJ? I think that makes me like it even more.

Nice. ... What're my token options? Since it's obvious you have beaker dibs. [YESSSS, sugar. he'll grab one of those and chow down, either oblivious or apathetic to the stale-ness]

Oh! Bullhorn! Dibs, definitely. [in the meantime, he'll help himself to an arm of the couch, perching]

... Yaaah.

[picks up one of the hands he was supporting himself with and stares at it, disturbed] Uh, guys? I don't know how to break it to you, but your couch is slightly --

[y'know. Moist.]

[identity profile] hard-talker.livejournal.com 2010-12-28 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well, uh ... [he's just gonna figure the guy's got a sweat issue or something]

As long as you weren't jacking off on the couch right before I got here, I guess we're cool.

Merry Christmas!

[squeezing past, she'll set the beer off to one side as she steps into the living room and starts peeling off her gloves]

So what've you been up to, today?

[waving back, she'll come over to lean on the back of the couch, nearby, to get a closer look at the screen. When she sees what's on, she can't help but laugh]

How is a parade a travesty? I always thought they were fun.
