[Daryl does not like video, but he's agitated and didn't feel writing this out would come across with the proper amount of outrage.]

Whoever sent this shit ain't funny.

[He can't really post a screen shot of what he's talking about, so instead he just reads a few of these off.]

"-Take more showers. Work on personal hygiene. Visit a barber at least once a month."

I take showers every fucking day. And my hair ain't no one's business but my own!

"-Get better taste in movies. If you must like Disney films for children, consider Nightmare Before Christmas instead of Pete’s Dragon."

FUCK YOU! Pete's Dragon's a great movie!

[There are actually worse things on the list of 'Resolutions' he'd been given. Two in particular that are more the source of his anger than then one's he going off about, but putting it out there would be showing too much vulnerability when he already didn't have a proper outlet for taking his anger out on whoever sent it. So it's just these few that he'll be publicly raging about and making it look like he has the shortest fuse ever.]

"-Learn to shoot better. But not at people."

Show your fucking face and I'll show you how good I can shoot! You can take your resolutions and shove 'em up your ass!

[With that he tosses the phone down hard on the couch and it bounces before he fumbles with it and shuts it off.]

Pete's Dragon is a great movie, but seriously, give Nightmare a chance. As long as you don't mind claymation shrunken heads.

Perma-Audio

[dirtyredneck]

It's still about Christmas.

[He's a lot more calm when he answers her, having had time to do so while talking to others. But that doesn't erase the annoyance in his tone about the holiday itself.]

[storyseeker]

Not a holiday person, huh?

[dirtyredneck]

Like holidays jus' fine. Ain't religious.

[And even before he lost his religion, it hadn't usually been good. Having it shoved in his face again for two months after not having to deal with it for two years back home didn't really do a lot to make him a fan.]

It's all trite shit about charity and fellowship the people preaching it forget soon as the new year hits and they're takin' decorations down anyhow.

[storyseeker]

I think it's better to have some charity all at once than people not thinking about it for an entire year, but fair enough. You're not totally wrong.

You want some other recommendations or are you going to stick with Pete's Dragon?

[dirtyredneck]

Depends on what kind you're recommending. Ain't like I don't like movies.

[He had a regular lunch date with Dorian Pavus for movie watching every couple weeks. He was enjoying his ability to go to a dollar theater and see something new each time.]

[storyseeker]

Depends what kind you like. I can stay away from chick flicks if you want.

[dirtyredneck]

They can't have walkers in 'em. Don't much care about the rest.

[storyseeker]

No—I'm sorry, what?

[dirtyredneck]

The dead bastards everyone here calls zombies for some stupid reason.

[He knew the reason. He still thought the word was stupid.]

[storyseeker]

Oh—really? [It only takes a couple seconds to work out why he might not like them.] You have them in your world...?

[dirtyredneck]

Yeah.

[storyseeker]

Oh, my god. I'm so sorry.

[Wow, apologizing for insensitivity re: the undead isn't something Elena ever thought she would do, but if his world is anything like those movies, she doesn't blame him for wanting them out of his entertainment.]

[dirtyredneck]

Whatever. Just don't recommend nothin' with walkers in 'em.

[He didn't need pity from someone who barely knew him. Not over that. It was life for him. He dealt with it. End of story.]

[storyseeker]

Monty Python, then. Completely ridiculous films, classic British comedy, none of those things at all.

sorry for the radio silence, life happened

[dirtyredneck]

I seen some of those. They used to play on some of the public access channels. 'Fore everything went to cable.

[Back in the 80s and 90s.]

no worries at all!

[storyseeker]

Oh yeah? If you liked them, try the TV show too—Monty Python's Flying Circus. We used to watch the DVDs back in college while we drank too much.

[dirtyredneck]

I'll look into 'em. Thanks.

[storyseeker]

Anytime. Let me know if you want more recommendations.

[dirtyredneck]

Sure. Name's Daryl.

[storyseeker]

Elena Fisher. See you around, Daryl.
