[ When North appears on the network this particular evening, he doesn't share anything about why he's so drunk or anything like that. He doesn't go mooning to the entire network about his problems or the situation with Wash and his sister. No, that's not on his agenda at all.

What's on his agenda is his ever-increasing irritation with how messy the people on the rig seem to be. ]


Look at this.

[ North turns the camera of his device to show one of the urinals in the restrooms near the living quarters of the rig. His words are slurred just enough to show to the discerning that he's pretty drunk. ]

You see that? That's filthy.

[ The camera is now turned to show North's face. He holds the device low, and walks out of the restroom. ]

And if you think I'm complaining about just one urinal you've got another think coming. Look at this hallway.

[ He turns the camera again. ]

The walls are stained. The floor is dirty.

[ There's a slight pause with a sound like him swallowing a burp. ]

And yes, I know there's parts from an oil rig and all that. But you live here. You're not telling me you lived like this wherever you came from.

And if you did...shame on you.


[ It's distant-sounding at first, but North's feed picks up York in the background calling his name and asking what's taking so long, then just: ]

Oh no.

[ A cheerful brunette appears in the feed, waving and smiling winningly. He'll make up for North insulting the entire rig with sheer charm, just you watch him. ]

Don't mind him, folks! He's just a grumpy drunk tonight, we're gonna head off now. Right, North? Bedtime. How do we turn this off?


(( ooc: as you can see, both Agents North and York of Project Freelancer are involved in this post, North in purple and York in gold. Feel free to specify either or both when you reply! ))

He's not, he's not, and I'm definitely not -- wait, who's Planker?

The guy who runs Phys Ed for the New Hires. And sorry to throw you in there, but Yorkie sounds cooler than Northie.

That's because it's a word. A yorkie is a small dog with bows in its hair.

I mean, if that’s the look you want to go for, but don’t go calling yourself a dog.

....my name's just "York." Not yorkie.

Okay, just York. Out of curiosity, personal choice or does your world not make nicknames by adding E sounds to the end of syllables?

Personal choice, based on the small dog with hair bow imagery. If you get more creative than yorkie let me know, other nicknames are probably fine.

We'll workshop it. I'm sure we can get it figured out.

Do you give everybody you talk to a nickname, then?

[personal profile] walkingballpit 2021-01-03 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Taken options include Supertights and Buckethead. Also, Fishface has been considered but never, ever outloud.

....geez, maybe I should bite the bullet and go with Yorkie after all.

I’ll have you know those are my best friends.

But, yeah, Yorkie is pretty basic. If I were you, I’d be insulted and make me try harder.
