[At first, there's just a rush of air over the mic. It stops short for a long moment, instead picking up only the normal background noise of the City. Then, softly and irritably,]

Oh, man...

[The rush picks up again-- in the other direction, not that you can really tell. It pauses again. Then picks up for a minute. Then pauses. Starts again. Then, having traversed the City four times or so, Tommy stops and sits down on a convenient bench, not tired but certainly frustrated.]

Sooner or later one of the others will-- Hey, what's-

[BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP]




[ooc; open for action but please try to leave me a little wiggle room to maintain continuity? ;D also feel free to mistake him for Billy, now and forever and ever. <3]

I didn't have anything as good as what I had back in Texas while I was in Manhattan, so I'll have to take your word for it.

[Pause, and skipping over all the other obviously uninteresting facts.]

You have a codename?

[team_sociopath]

I hate having to buy into that smug New Yorker superiority thing but they do have better pizza then Jersey.

[Cough.]

Maaybe. What's it to you?

audio ][

[adamantined]

From what I've heard, I think everything is supposed to be better than Jersey.

And nothing, really. I'm just... curious.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

Hey, Jersey's got some good stuff!

Speed. Tells you everything you need to know, right?

audio ][

[adamantined]

I'll reserve judgment until I actually get there.

Speed? Can't you add a ster to the end of that?

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

Well, I'm from Jersey.

Don't blame me, blame the girl who came up with it. I like it. It's quick.

audio ][

[adamantined]

[Awkward shuffle.]

I'm from Texas. You can make all the 'bigger in' jokes as punishment and I'll stop blaming you.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

It's no fun if you say I can do it.

audio ][

[adamantined]

I'll give you an in: if you make short jokes, I'll get totally pissed.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

That would be two contradicting sets of jokes. That's way more than a casual internet mocking session.

audio ][

[adamantined]

This isn't the internet, I hate to break it to you.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

Close enough.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Except for the part where you can talk to anyone outside of this place.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

So it's like a giant, lame blog thing. My point stands.

audio ][

[adamantined]

There's a little more to it than just the network aspect.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

Why are you trying so hard to ruin my beautiful comparison?

audio ][

[adamantined]

Because I don't want you to have to wake up and face the harsh reality.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

So this is tough love?

audio ][

[adamantined]

That is the City's motto. I think it's printed on a t-shirt somewhere.

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

Well, it's good to know you care.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Hey, I offered to send you the guide and everything! What else do you want from me? Should I say Jersey is amazing?

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

I never said Jersey was amazing, I just said Jersey has produced some awesome things.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Speedsters, for example?

audio ][

[team_sociopath]

That is the point I was trying to make.

[adamantined]

It's good to see you're handling this new experience so well.
