By any chance does anyone need anything electronic repaired? I've been restoring old TVs and such for about a month now and I'd really love to work on something else for a change. So long as it's native to here or someplace comparable I could probably fix it. I'll do it for free.

Okay moving on to my main point. I've been told that I should get out of the house more, and while I agree, I can't say I really know what there is to do for fun around here. [His idea of fun right now involves holing himself up in his room and building things.] Anyone have any kind of recommendations? [There's a brief pause.] Like maybe a Rocky Horror Shadow Cast? ...Do they even have the Rocky Horror Picture Show here?

[While May really did tell him to get out more, his main reason for asking is that his 21st birthday is coming up, and he's looking for some small way to celebrate.

A rustling can be heard as he goes to turn the feed off, only for it to suddenly stop.]

...Oh. Also. I just wanted to thank anyone who dealt with me when I was... smaller due to that incident in De Chima. I appreciated all of the help, and I owe you one.

I've got a radio that hasn't been working right since, uh, someone fiddled about with it. [ guilty as charged ] Television too, but I know you want to avoid fixing up any more of those.

I haven't heard about any Rocky Horror stuff. Sorry.

[notyourfathersosborn]

I can definitely repair those. [A slight chuckle.] I think I can manage repairing one more TV.

Don't worry about it, I know that was random. The thought just popped into my head today and wouldn't leave it.

[acclimatized]

Cheers, I'd really appreciate it if you could. The missus threw a fit when it broke.

I can't help with that but what else are you interested in?

[notyourfathersosborn]

Oh no. I'll be sure to do it quickly, then.

I wish it didn't make me sound like a crazy shut in, but mainly things that keep me indoors: tinkering, reading, that sort of thing. Brenda got me into plays, but I really can't see myself going without her.

[walkingballpit]

I've heard of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but what's a shadow cast?

[notyourfathersosborn]

It's the midnight showings with actors performing in front of the screen and audience participation.

YEAH, YOU MIGHT NEED TO FIX UP MY COMMUNICATOR, DR. FRANK-N-FURTER. I KEEP HEARING WEIRD BULLCRAP COME OUT OF IT EVERY FEW DAYS.

[text]

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Is it the sound of your own voice?]

What kind of "weird bullcrap"?

Re: [text]

[cigarchomping]

WELL BETWEEN PEOPLE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HORNETS AND THE "I'M FIFTEEN YEARS OLD AGAIN PLEASE HELP MY WHINY ASS" THING, MY COMMUNICATOR IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE FROM CHURNING OUT SUCH CRAZY CRAP

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Excuse him while he goes to get his violin.]

The network is here for people to communicate. No one's dictating how.

Besides, the Hornets may be gone for now but that doesn't mean the few still scattered in the wind aren't dangerous.

[ he straightens his voice. ]

Well, I was walking down the street just having a think. When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink. Well it shook me up, it took me by surprise. He had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes. He stared at me and I felt a change. Time meant nothing, never would again.

[ and then in a hushed "ah" he continues: ]

Let's do the time warp aga-ai-ain.

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Claps and adds, completely spoken:] It's just a jump to the left.

And here I'd think you were a "Sweet Transvestite" kind of man.

[selfimage]

I'm a whole cast kind of man.

[ he adds easily. ]

[liverletdie]

That's an odd choice for entertainment. Any particular reason you're gravitating toward that?

[notyourfathersosborn]

Is it?

Honestly, I was thinking of things that I did back home that I wouldn't mind doing by myself here. My wife and I has been planning on going to one, so it popped into my head.

[liverletdie]

Oh, well, I guess that's... a good reason to.

[ Ugh, sentiment. ] I just always thought it was more of a cult classic, honestly.

[khajidont]

Well, Rocky Horror's totally a thing here. I think it's on Netflix!

[Ah, but...]

Not that mentioning Netflix is that great a solution to, uh, getting outta the house.

audio

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Laughs.]

Even if it was I don't think my roommates would appreciate me throwing toast at the screen.

[Still, note to self: check Netflix. Netflix: the greatest invention ever.]

audio

[khajidont]

...okay, I'm gonna fess up: I've never been to a Rocky Horror showing before. That's a thing? Throwing toast?

[boobwindow]

I'm guessing you're not the outdoors-y type.

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Chuckles.] I know, I sound like a crazy hermit.

I used to run a bit, in high school. [Back when he wanted to be the Green Goblin, and thought that would be a good part of his training routine.] I can't say I was particularly fond of it though. [He smirks.] Does reading in Central Park count?

[boobwindow]

Why not take a trip somewhere? Go hiking or scuba diving?

[nitidus]

If you find a Rocky Horror production, let me know immediately. Please.

[this is urgent; if there's one, she's going. ]

voice.

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Finally, someone who gets it.]

I will. I mean, it's gotta be something that exists here, right?

voice.

[nitidus]

If not, surely there must be people willing to fund it?
