genessia | VIDEO via Tannusen's communicator, ACTION optional for Nova

[It starts off as just voice. Looks like Tannusen switched this on in a bag, and the reason for this bit of sneaky behavior is slowly becoming clear-]

Voice activated lift my skinny white arse, been yellin' at this useless souped up piece of horse shite for five goddamn minutes now-

It isn't funny, Tannusen!

Quit your feckin' gigglin' an' help me!

[No dice, the tiger just keeps trying not to break something with laughter as the annoyed Irishman digs himself deeper into his foul mood.]

ELEVEN.

ELEVEN YE RUSTED PIECE OF AMERICAN DOG SHITE, ELEVEN!

.... ELEVEN!

[Now the camera is out, mostly because the man in question has his back turned, trying to scale up along the sides of the elevator using the hand rails]

AYE THEN, LISTEN TO ME WHAT WHEN I TALK TO YE!

[Cooley, a smooth, female, automated voice answers, ever tranquil.]

Please state your floor slowly and calmly

[This doesn't seem to help his anger management at all.]

CALM? CALM, I'LL SHOW YE CALM! STICK IT UP YER ARSE YE FECKIN' AUTOMATIC COW!

ELEVEN!

ELEVEN!

TAKE US TO ELEVEN GODDAMNIT WHAT BEFORE I BLAST A HOLE IN YOUR TIN SIDIN'! YE THINK I'M JOKIN' WITH YE?!

TANNUSEN, STOP STANDIN' THERE AN' QUIT LAUGHIN'-

[The priest whirls his head around to look at the tiger, catching sight of the communicator]

... TURN THAT BEDAMNED BLASTED THING OFF, YE FECKIN' PILLOCK!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ He chuckles again, this time a little sadly. He misses his giant slab of a boyfriend, okay. ]

Nearly useless, aren't they?

Feckin' useless as hell- I ain't sharin' me bed with ye for the laugh track, goddamnit!

[ He clears his throat. ]

Well, not completely useless, but...yes.

[Fuck did he say a thin-

He DID SAY A THING.

He sobers up pretty quickly, adjusting his collar a bit and clearing his throat]

... Tisn't quite like that.

[... Mostly like that but not quite if only because they haven't hit the 100% mark yet]

[ Dorian's expression softens at his reaction. He knows it well. ]

I know how such things are, Cassian. [ He takes a breath. ] I, too, prefer the company of men. There... [ He swallows. ] Is no shame in that.

[For both their sake here, since it's clear neither of them are exactly spandex wearing rainbow caped crusaders]

Aye well...

No there isn't.

[BUT.]

Talkin' about what ye do between the sheets seems a bit forward.

[Awkward talk for no one wants to hear about anyones sex life]

Ah, yes. Well, that isn't necessary, unless you'd like to.

[ He smiles. ]

Though I believe you're more involved with your present company.

[dONT

He may be taken but god, an attractive intelligent man flirting with him is an attractive intelligent man flirting with him.

Another wheeze, but Cassian's pretty good at covering any emotion with ANNOYANCE]

Tisn't enough room in the bed for three, we barely fit the twofer in there.

[ Dorian blinks long lashes at the video screen, but he'll be nice. For now. He's not normally a nice man, though. ]

I'm an only child, Cassian. I never learned to share.

[ Yes, they're talking in private, but Tannusen's right there in person. He slings an arm over Cassian's nearest shoulder to peer down at the shorter man's phone, now that the fun screaming-time is over. ]

First you spoil the elevator fun, and now you're trying to steal my boyfriend, Dorian? And here I thought we were friends.

[ ...Yep, Cassian is definitely the target of that murder plot. So much for anonymity. ]

Though I can't blame you for wanting to, he is quite the catch.

[ Oh good, now it's time for tag-team flirting with the priest, apparently. ]

[ He chuckles in response to Tannusen's appearance, though there's a bit of sadness in his gaze. And sympathy. ]

I would never do such a thing, but it is tempting. He's a bit rough 'round the edges, but workable.

[ Fully aware Cassian is RIGHT THERE WATCHING THIS CONVERSATION... ]

The edges aren't half as rough as they look.

[ He's gonna get skinned. ]

[ He chuckles. ]

You have seen his hair, haven't you?

I've done a lot more than see it.

[ Here we goooo further into that hole they're digging. ]

I quite like it. It's poofy, makes him look like an owl. A sexy, smart owl.

...a smart, sexy owl in dire need of a preening.

I'm working on it.

[ That blow-job joke is subtle as shit, okay? Okay. He's pretty sure Dorian will catch it, though. Just a feeling he's got. ]

GET OFF ME BLOODY COMMUNICATOR!

[ATTEMPTING TO SWAT TANNUSEN GO]

M'HAIR'S FECKIN' FINE, DAMNIT!

[ At that, Dorian laugh, a hearty, robust sound that's somehow sultry. He can't help it, okay. ]

Then I wish you the best of luck, my friend.

As for you, Cassian, "fine" is subjective.

[WHEEZE.

That one was more obvious. He didn't have anything except Tannusen to hide his face in, so Dorian finally gets to see some ashy sort of color appear on Cassian's face as it begins]

Shut up, Tannusen.

Now, now, gentlemen. There's no need to fight over me.

[ A pause. ]

Though I can't say I don't enjoy it.

PISS OFF!

[SCREAAAAM]
