WHO: sami rowd, dami brat & pals WHEN: jan - feb WHERE: places WHAT: a catch-all NOTES\WARNINGS: discussions of death, dismemberment, arson, child endangerment, and someone in here will probably start a fight at some point.
( he asks, but he's reaching for the headphones regardless. it's not as if gorgug's answer is going to change sam's intention of listening. it has been a minute since he's listened to any, more because of the lack of availability here than anything else.
granted, tim has speakers around his place. he's probably got something else hidden away somewhere. sam'll add that to his list of things to bother him about later - somewhere below the weird mask he wears sometimes. )
[ Sam can take that, freeing Gorgug's hands, and Gorgug searches his pockets to find which one has the aforementioned crystal in it. It's a rectangular shape, much like an iphone, but is literally a slab of gemstone with pointed edge on one side. Gorgug presses a forefinger to a corner for a couple of seconds and a screen appears along the surface.
He'll start flipping over to his music. ] I've got metal, thrash, heavy metal, death metal, rage metal, some hate metal, a little chop metal. I've got some smash metal too, a few tracks someone gave me. Punk, and emo...
[ And he lists all that, but he's been going through his list, and- ] Here, try this.
( at least sam understands what headphones are and how they work. he puts them on, looking to the crystal with curious eyes but - he doesn't really care all that much. gorgug can have a magic music-playing crystal, there's weirder shit around here. the music starts, and sam keeps one hand on the headphones, index finger tapping along idly to the beat. his eyes stay focused down towards the ground, not really looking at it but more focused on listening for another few moments, before he looks to gorgug with a smile on his face.
slides one side of the headphones off of an ear so he can hear gorgug a little better over the music in his other ear. )
[ Gorgug isn't watching Sam. That's a pressure he doesn't want to put on the guy, to be obviously invested in Sam's assessment of what he's listening to. Did he put on a good track? Should he have put on that other nearly identical one he had been eyeing but didn't go for?
But he's paying enough attention to catch Sam when he moves (he was glancing at him, okay--just once or twice!), and so he looks back at him--reading his face, trying to gauge his interest. And, he's smiling! That's good!
Only, that isn't a comment on the song. Which might not be a bad thing? Actually: ]
Yeah. ( his hands are too full to reach over for a hair ruffle, what with one keeping the headphone off of his ear and the other holding onto the rum, so sam instead opts to bump his shoulder against gorgug's - playfully. it's not a shove, just a momentary lean into him. ) You always keep me on my toes. Expect the unexpected, an' all. I like people who can do that.
( he likes interesting people. people who are fun, exciting, who get into shit and live rather than be dumbasses who refuse to go outside because they're too scared of what might happen. gorgug's more of a. . . shy kid, but he isn't any of those things. awkward at times, but definitely not boring. )
You should invite your pals over, later. We can all get high and do stupid crap.
[ Wow, he's never been described as keeping someone on their toes before... and a guy like Sam? It's flattering, sure, and Gorgug wonders how exactly Sam sees him to get that impression, but--maybe he's doing something good?
He's almost forgetting this is coming off Sam listening to his music. Actually, maybe he is forgetting. ]
Yeah! [ Yeah! Gorgug is now in post-compliment stage, where he's feeling nice and a little more energised. Especially after a shoulder bump! ] I'll introduce you. They're all cool- you'll like them. They'll keep you on your toes, too. We'll do cool shit together.
[ You know--cool shit. Chool shit that Gorgug definitely knows what that is right now! ]
( since he seems excited to chat about his friends, which - to be fair, sam'd be pretty stoked to talk about his, too, if they showed up around these parts. maybe not ari just because of how - weirdly complicated that got when they were both here. but raff'd be fun to see around. tal. sylas. he misses them, and they'd probably be better off stuck here than back home anyway. at least here they've got a relatively large amount of downtime they can utilize. back home? not a chance.
the headphones stay on, one ear still half-off so he can tap his fingers idly along to the beat while still listening to gorgug. )
Riz and Fabian. Riz's a goblin-- small, green. [ He makes a motion down to around his knees for an example, using the hand not holding his crystal still supplying the music. ] And Fabian's a half-elf, around this height.
[ Which comes up to around his shoulder. A few inches off his own 6'6". ...by five. ]
Riz is smart, he's big into investigating. And Fabian's a social butterfly--he dances, and he's got a pirate thing going on.
