with_my_teacup[The feed shows Riddick, tired but smirking just barely visibly. He's in the darkness of his room, a big wall of shadow with still squinting silver eyes. The only thing in focus is the pair of rubber-strapped welding goggles dangling close to the screen.]
I like'm and all, but they aren't real... casual. Anyone got some 21st-century style sunglasses I could borrow for a few days?
[Private to Selina]
I don't know how much you like water, but I could do with some solar heat and a little hydrotherapy-- I'm looking to hit the beach and then shop like I'm civilized and rich. You down for that?
Anything you wanna hit while we're back in all the brightness? It ain't Gotham, but somehow I see you fitting in fine anyway. I'll be a little slow, but I'm with you.

Date: 2013-07-26 06:41 pm (UTC)I'll be right where we get off the barge.

Date: 2013-07-26 06:44 pm (UTC)Okay. I'm getting you sunscreen too. That big bald head of yours is going to fry like an egg.

Date: 2013-07-26 06:50 pm (UTC)See you in an hour. [Or he's coming after you like a slow-walking horror movie antagonist.]

Date: 2013-07-26 06:52 pm (UTC)In the words of this port's governor...I'll be back.
Re: Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 06:58 pm (UTC)The departure point is -- for them at least-- near the waterfront. Riddick chucks his thumb at a patch of beach.]
I shouldn't be too hard to find.
[By which he means as soon as Chris is out of sight he's going to strip his shirt, use it as an eye mask, and grab an hour of sleep on the sand.]

Date: 2013-07-26 07:00 pm (UTC)[But whatever; Chris is heading down the Barge rail, dropping happily into the sand and going the opposite direction, on a quest to find Ray Bans and a unicorn shirt]

Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:15 pm (UTC)Finally, Chris, wearing his own shades and in newer, nicer clothes that better fit his frame, drops down beside Riddick. He's got a plastic bag full of stuff, and is holding two italian ices with the other hand]
Sup, Death Toll.
Re: Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:24 pm (UTC)[He sits up and grits his teeth through a wince as he stretches-- the muscles feel tight and stiff, without actually being affected by efforts to relax.
He squints at Chris-- just the faintest sliver of silver showing, and the light is still enough to make his eyes water.]
Find a unicorn?
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:28 pm (UTC)[He twists to the side, rooting through the plastic bag before pulling out a pair of high end sunglasses much like his own, and hands them over]
Nah. Found one with a kitten, though. Enjoy.
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:36 pm (UTC)[The sunglasses help. They aren't his goggles, but they'll do-- and they won't draw attention. His mouth flickers in a brief smile once he's able to see Chris' better fitting clothes.]
We hit Earth a lot-- maybe I'll get there. I can taste the magical water you need to make bagels.
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:40 pm (UTC)It's amazing. God, you know, you'd think I'd miss the really big, important things like my mom when I came to the Barge, but most of the time I miss shit like going to the movies or the beach whenever I wanted, or eating a bagel.
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:43 pm (UTC)By the way, thanks. I really am fucking exhausted.
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:46 pm (UTC)[He hands the bag over; inside is sunblock as well. And for good measure, he gives Riddick the other italian ice]
Yeah, no shit. What the fuck happened to you?
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:50 pm (UTC)Got in a magical industrial accident, basically-- got careless, got in the way of a spell. [He shrugs]
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 07:51 pm (UTC)[He digs into his own, licking the top]
How's wardening?
Re: Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 08:01 pm (UTC)How's inmating? Dent hasn't given you any more shit, has he?
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 08:05 pm (UTC)You mean since he fucking destroyed Cassel?
No, he's been quiet. Every time I think I'm going to go find him and kick his ass, the idea just makes me feel tired.
Re: Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 08:39 pm (UTC)[He slowly works his ice down, lick by lick by annoyed bite. ]
I understand how you feel. It's such tiring bullshit, ain't it-?
Spam
Date: 2013-07-26 08:47 pm (UTC)No, it's a weird new feeling for me. Normally I'm all about the vengeance. What the fuck's happening to me where I just...don't want to go after him? Even when he hurts the people I love?
Maybe it's a thyroid thing.
