[For those who have seen Will Graham before, the difference today is pretty drastic. The difference being, of course, that he's gotten himself a much-needed haircut and actually shaved, which means he looks like a regular guy in plaid as opposed to a cousin of some mountain cryptid in plaid. What's behind him is probably the thing that grabs the most attention, that being a picture of a shark that's been made big enough to cover a nice section of the wall behind him. A handful of people are gathered around it and talking, but it's too far away to make out much of anything.

He doesn't sound extremely excited (shock), doesn't like being on video, but oh whale.

I read a story where I'm from, some group that specializes in studying great white sharks had caught one near Jacksonville, tagged her, and tracked her to gather more data. Named her Lydia, followed her paths, got information they wouldn't have had otherwise. While back, I told some of the fishers here, we got together, and...recreated it. ["We went out and caught a shark and put a bunch of tags on her," is what he means.] That was a little over a month ago, and our Lydia's given a lot of data here, too. Ended up getting a nice monetary bonus tossed their way which they've decided to use on a little. Fish fry. Party. [This does not look like someone who talks about parties much. Or goes to them.] Since I was the one who told them about it, and I'm an imPort, I was asked ["""""asked"""""] to extend that invitation to the rest of you. Saturday after next, not far from Heropa, arrangements can be made to get people to and from. On the beach. It's a lot of free food and beer and boats and music and I'm sure there will be fireworks at some point—

[He's running out of steam in regards to how to talk about a party, nearing the end, when one of the men in the group behind him calls out, turning to show that he is wearing one of the tackier, more suggestive shirts Will sells because Master Baiter.]

Why don't you hand out some of your shirts? I love mine.

[Will hasn't turned to fully look at him and doesn't need to to know exactly which one is being displayed, which tacky joke is haunting him right in plain sight. He takes a second (during which he looks about ready to kill) to compose himself so his voice doesn't sound murderous before:]

And. Free shirts. [SWIMMING ALONG QUICKLY] Anybody interested, just let me know. I'll give out directions.

[He can't even try to smile. The shark looks like it would be much nicer than he does by the time he ends the feed.]


[ooc. there will be an open log up on the 26th!]

Why "Lydia"? One wonders.

[Blah blah blah, Tech, blah blah, Shark, blah blah Party.

Hey, wait.]

That's what a shark looks like?!?

[Maybe she doesn't want to see a mechanical shark now. No...if it was mechanical, it could be controlled.

Still, it's no wonder most people she talked to about them weren't as excited.]

Seriously, though? "Lydia"?

[ though (stiles tilts his head, jaw shifting) if he really thinks about the lydia he knows... like actually, really thinks about it: ]

Yeah, no. I can see it.

[once she's done snickering over the shirt, she turns on her video to record a response]

That's the worst party invite I've ever heard in my life.

[personal profile] nitidus 2014-07-17 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll make wristbands. Sweet tea? Fantastic. Could we bring our own drinks? I've been trying to perfect a lavender pink lemonade.

[Aahahahahhahahahaha. ]

If it's for science.

That's just so normal. It didn't, like, lead you to Godzilla's underwater base or turn out to be a wereshark or anything?

Cool. She's got time to take us somewhere terrible.

Will Gunther be there?

[ Noting that you look all cleaned up, Will.

And of course, making the dog more important. Gotta know what's most a-lure-ing.
