Be cool, Major. God damn it, just be cool. He does his best to appear as casual and unaffected by the man's message as he can, but there's a sudden pink in his cheeks and the top ridges of his ears, and he looks a little giddy for someone asking something innocent.]
DUDE YOU DON'T - [Nope. Try that again. Ahem.] Sorry about that. Sometimes I can't, uh. Control the. Uh. Volume? Of my voice.
I don't have an embarrassing question but mostly it's that I was sorta thinking, hey, we get a do-over here, might as well go all-out. The name I was given at birth is kind of silly, even though I've gotten used to it, but I might as well try to make it more Average Joe, you know? [Is it working? Does he seem casual yet?] Uhhhhh. Well. They're pretty much defunct now, where I come from. They're like. Uh. Tapes? You could watch movies and stuff. Record your own and re-watch them. But they were replaced by DVDs, which .. might stand for Digital Video Disc? I actually have no idea, I made that up. And those were half-replaced by a thing called a Blu-Ray. I don't really know what the difference is between the two since they're both discs, except Blu-Rays are better quality.
ALSO, Raiders of the Lost Ark is just like, one of the best movies from my world. You .... uh. You look startingly like .. the uh. Main character. Indiana Jones. Like.
