Have you aseen thsi?

[Insert one blurry picture taken of a TV screen. It's hard to tell what exactly D33's watching, but--]

hoem shoppgin network.

Honeslty, why do es anyone leave theri house? You can evne buy weaponry.

[He turns on his camera then (which he could have just done in the first place), and uses it to zoom in on a set of brightly-colored kitchen knives that the salesperson is currently featuring. A heavily drunken voice slurs behind the camera:]

Incredulous.

[Wait.]

Incredible, I mean.

Obviously.

[There's a pause. Who is he talking to again?]

Goodbye. [The feed goes black.]

[Her voice comes suddenly from the other room, small and confused, but very much not moving from her spot.]

What are you watching in there?????

Voice

[d33tached]

[He's so drunk that he clicks the voice function to answer her, but he doesn't bother to private it.]

Magnus Chase sent me something. His suggestions are typically very good, K31.

[k31rfree]

[K31 lays quietly on the bed, curled up and browsing her communicator. Her drowsy, equally liquored brain attempting to wrap her mind around the odd video on her feed.]

[d33tached]

[am_i_a_monster]

[Abigail looks very concerned.]

D33? Don't buy anything. Turn it off, drink some water and get some rest.

Action

[d33tached]

[Rather than respond using his communicator, D33 decides to shout from the living room:] It's alright Abigail! You needn't worry about me!

[am_i_a_monster]

[She calls back.] Yes, I do. You're my friend. I'm coming in there. [A moment later, she walks into the living room.]

[Video]

[cadbane]

They sell weapons through these televisions?

[He really hasn't even bothered to watch any TV in the entire time he's been here. Seemed like a frivilous exercise to him.]

[d33tached]

Obavoisly.

[batburgers]

Never use HSN for weapons. It's like buying knives out of a suburban mom's kitchen. Pretty but cheap.

[d33tached]

It's n ot as if I'd actualy use one for combat.

[But they are available, and that's the point.]

[heliophilic]

[He sends a link.]

Also, don't buy those. They're terrible. If you want something sharp I know several people who can get you better.

[Text > Voice]

[d33tached]

[D33 doesn't respond for a long time because he's watching the video.

[...over and over and over again. Eventually, he thinks to text back.]

I"ll havvve you knwo that I am qiute well- versed in baldes.

[He's also tired of typing, so he turns on his voice function and slurs:] Look, look. Look.



Look, I'm not...I'm not trying to say that they're of any quality, okay, but they are knives and they're being sold on the television!

[How can he make you understand?]

[minorgod]

Should I preemptively schedule you a delivery for hangover cure in the morning?
