[VOICE] Transmitting via WTAX Radio - First Broadcast

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

[Loki spotted the building a week or so ago, on one of his wanderings, and ever since an insane plan has been percolating in his brain. The weekend party was awesome, but today it's quiet again and he's reminded of the things he misses from home. Like bullshitting clergy members and discussing every inane topic under the sun with Bartleby.

Shit, he misses Bartleby.

So today he makes his way back to the little building with WTAX painted on the side, and discovers that it's frighteningly easy to talk the Extras into letting him have access to the equipment.]


Well what do you know, Taxon! I guess they'll let anybody on the radio these days. It seems to me that you people have a lot of questions, and nobody up top wants to give you any answers. So let me offer my humble services, and many, many...fucking many years of experience.

Hello, I'm Loki, how can I advise you today?


[Treat this like a call-in advice show, ask any questions you like, or just yell at Loki for being annoying. Modlies, is there any chance of a WTAX tag maybe? :D?]

[A little confused about just who's running the show here, Amy calls in.] Hello? Anybody there? Are you one of the aliens' lackeys or are you a fellow prisoner?

[voice]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

[First caller! How exciting.]

Nope, pretty sure I'm not anybody's lackey. Did you need advice about something? I have lots of advice.

[voice]

[iminmynightie.livejournal.com]

Ehm, just wanted to make sure you weren't one of the aliens trying to brainwash us or something. Advice... sure. [She thinks for a second. She's tempted to ask for advice on how to deal with loneliness, but she realizes that with her Scottish accent, probably everyone listening would know who she was.]

Any advice on activities to do here to keep boredom away?

[voice]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Not unless they've already brainwashed me.

[...Nah.]

Video games. I can get video games that don't even exist yet where I come from! It's like the ultimate exclusive preview.

[voice]

[iminmynightie.livejournal.com]

I guess I could hatch a console and a few games... [Though she's wondering how much that will all cost. Good think she has a job now.]

I was thinking something a bit more active though.

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

Hey, Loki, is your refrigerator running?

[ :DDDDDDDDDD! ]

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Hey, mysterious caller, do you know how old that joke is?

[ voice ]

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

Approximately a zillion and a half years old.

[ NO SHAME. ]

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Give or take a couple trillion.

[This is his amused voice, he's totally laughing behind the mic.]

[ voice ]

[timedaughter]

I have a question!

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Great! You kinda have to actually tell me the question before I can answer it though, this isn't the Psychic Friends Network.

[ voice ]

[timedaughter]

That would be fun, though. You should get some psychic friends if this is going to become a regular thing.

But my question is, when are you going to take me to see a movie?

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Actually, having psychic friends isn't all it's made out to be.

[People don't tend to enjoy hearing about all the horrible sinful things they've done in their lives.]

Um...when do you want to go? It's not like I have a busy schedule or anything.

Long remembers the young man's voice from his arrival, although he hasn't had a chance to talk to him since. He's a bit intrigued by the 'many years of experience' line, though, so after a moment's thought, he hits the button to answer.

"Hello again, Loki; you appear to be settling in well. How many years of experience are you referencing here? Inquiring minds wants to know," he asks, with a smile perhaps audible in his tone.

[Voice]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Hey, Mayland Long, right? Good to hear from you, man. You recover okay from the zombies?

[Shit. That question requires more evasiveness than Loki's been practicing lately. Bartleby's already going to have words about his forgetting he's supposed to be 'Larry'.]

Uh...a lot? You know, more than your average bear?

Re: [Voice]

[imperial-long.livejournal.com]

"More or less, yes, thank you."

He chuckles. "Now, now, that isn't fair-- to hint and then evade. Besides, there is no such thing as 'average' here, whether ursine or otherwise-- we are a very odd group, and not everyone here is mortal, I don't believe."

[Voice]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, kind of getting the impression that we're more of a sampling of unusual than average, around here. I wonder if there's a reason for that.

Hey, man, you tell me and I'll tell you.

[No he won't.]

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight.livejournal.com]

...Huh. I didn't know there was a way for the citizens to broadcast to the city at large.

[ pause. ] Outside of the tablets, anyway.

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Well I guess it must be okay because everybody here seems fine with running the equipment for me.

...Maybe the think you guys need help.

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight.livejournal.com]

[ she laughs. ]

So you're offering to give out 'I've just been abducted by aliens' or post-glitch advice, that kind of thing?

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Any kind of advice you need! Don't feel that you have to limit yourself.

[ voice ]

[cametolife]

Loki. Like the god of Norse mythology?

[ close, liz my dear, but not quite it. ]

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. I mean yeah as in the names are the same, but there's where all similarities end.

[most similarities. okay some similarities.]

[ voice ]

[cametolife]

That's still neat, being named after something like that.

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Um...yeah, I guess. [Except that he's not, but he can't explain that to her.] Some people think it's weird, so sometimes I go by Larry.
