Interdimensional Cable
Today in the forum, someone has set up a techno-pile of video gadgetry. At the heart of it is a television, and an old one at that. The screen is large enough, but it sits in a retro wooden fixture that gives it the appearance more of furniture than of an entertainment system. All the better for it to hold the weight of a number of video-playing devices from across the ages and dimensions.
On either side of the pile of plastic boxes and tangled wires stacked on top are a set of outdoor lounge chairs. One, sat up like a chair, is empty. The other, fully reclined, is full of a whole lotta dead dude. It’s Harrowheart, who can’t possibly understand the vast majority of what he’s lying next to, a lit cigarette between his lips and his arms dangling off the chair and onto the grass. His floating hands are hard at work twisting knobs and pounding on the top of the television. Now and then the screen flickers with a hint of a signal.
Without spending the energy to lift his head, Harrow calls out to any passers-by, “Hey! What’s your favorite movie? People keep tellin’ me about ‘em, but I ain't ever seen one. I wanna find a good one and invite everyone over to watch it. Help me pick one out, will ya? And if y’ain’t ever seen a movie either… I dunno, weigh in on someone else’s recommendation?”
(( OOC Info: I want to stream a movie in-character! I love streaming movies, usually it’s a really good time for everyone involved. I’ve never done one IC, but I think this is a great opportunity to start. I’ll take any and all IC movie recommendations (real movies only!) and by next Wednesday I’ll try to decide which one we watch. The better your character talks it up, the better its chance! I’m shooting for next Saturday the 21st at around 8 or 9pm Eastern for a start time, but I’m going to be flexible if people know they can’t make it. I want as many people to be able to enjoy this as possible! If you’re interested in the idea or have any questions shoot me a PM and I’ll PM you back with answers and details and remember to get back to you when the movie and time are decided. ))

Jim's grabbing a seat. Sure it's probably a kids thing, but whatever he's got time to kill. He's off today.
no subject
He points at the dinosaur baby snuggling up with its parents and asks, "So y'all got those kinda animals on Earth? That's how y'all made those tall buildings in New York City, huh? Here I thought it was all impressive. You just stood up on their heads, right?"
no subject
Jim ponders this a moment before he gets to his feet.
"Be right back, you enjoy." And whether Harrow hears him or not, Jim will trot off for a bit, only to come back later with a six pack of beer and plop down again with the beer between them. "Why not, right?"
no subject
He reaches over to where his chair had been and picks up one of the axes he'd stowed under there. It's a blue thing with a vicious edge and bright runes that glow when the handle is in his palm. He uses this noble blade to pop the top of his beer, then leans over to do the same for Jim's.
"So, Jim. You were born in space, right? What's that like?" He takes a swig of beer and waits to hear about the man who grew up never having seen dirt.
no subject
"Don't remember much about it, to be honest. My dad died when I was born, and after that Mother took some time off from the fleet, remarried a shitpile, and we spent our younger years at the family farm in Iowa." Jim takes a swig form the beer and watches a chunky triceratops be sassy to the other dinotykes.
"That's basically a redneck middle of nowhere town where cattle outnumber people in the middle of the United States. Which, before you ask, is the same country Verity is from just way in the future."
Actually I forgot Jim was born in space, I thought he was born in Iowa. So wrong I was right.
He chuckles around the lip of his beer and mutters, "Shoot... Jim, we got too much in common. Maybe you and me, we're alternate dimension versions of each other? You think that can happen?"
\o/
"Weirder things have already happened. My best friend/adopted brother here in the Nexus is also an alternate version of my great great grandpa or some shit like that."
I have a poopoo memory IRL so excuse me when I ask the same questions twice *fart*
I am nearly as bad dearest, worry not *sage nod*
He really cares about Verity and Clint, even if he doesn't realize it.
"Got back to the ship and Bones about lost his shit with us. SO he's fixing up Clint and he does the usual blood scans, making sure hes reacting okay to future-germs or whatever. And he starts freaking out. Calls me over, and bam. DNA test says we're blood related. Freaked me right the fuck out because he's looks like he's my age, right?"
no subject
But he laughs at the story! What a good visual. "That's funny as hell! I probably woulda... Shoot, I don't know! What's a guy even do in that situation? Did you have to lie to Bones about where you found Clint? Say he was your cousin or somethin'? Or does he know you go through interdimensional doors and drink beer and watch cartoons with dead bodies?"
He chuckles to himself and takes a swig of beer. "If you ever wanna freak Bones out again, man... We could put some makeup on me and have him do a physical. How much you think he'd shit pants?" Oh, he loves this idea.
no subject
"He'd..." Jim rubs at the back of his neck. "He probably wouldn't think it was funny. Actually." Undead jokes kind of aren't funny on his ship at the moment. Too soon. And that's coming from the one guy who should be able to make them if anyone could.
Jim is an honorary undead, that's why he can use the Zed word
"Breathers don't think dead jokes are funny, Jim. I don't know why I always forget that, but I do. You brought up a good point, though. That people can go through each other's portals here. I was wonderin' if that was the case. Part of me hoped I could take some folks to Azeroth. Show 'em some castles, some floatin' cities, maybe introduce 'em to a dragon. Hell, I could show you the spaceship that crash-landed on my world. It's all made of crystal and stone, it's real cool."
He uses Zed because Jesse does, otherwise he'd call them lord knows what.
"If going to my world didn't involve going on my ship, I'd be thrilled to show you around, man. But I really don't want you to be hurt when the alarm sounds because someone who has no idea your kind can exist sees you with me and assumes the worst." Jim sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "Gotta get one of those PINpoint things. Then I could take you wherever. Show you a bunch of cool stuff."

"Man, don't sweat it. I rib ya, but I get it. You think I don't already know what it's like to be public enemy number one?" Oops, time to sip some beer. "Doesn't mean I can't dream, man. Can't pretend. Just don't listen to me when I make those comments. They're jokes, Jim. Don't sweat it."
