[video] un: linneus.

Hello every… ah, anyone who might see this. My name is Linneus. I... am not sure if this is working.

[leaving comments on other people’s posts is one thing, but putting his own out is quite another, and there’s a certain degree of nervousness that hasn’t been present in his everyday interactions, accentuated by the fact that he is clearly chilled and just about holding off a shiver]

I was hoping perhaps someone might be able to help. Someone in Olympia, that is. You see I returned from Wyver just now and-- well, look.

[the shift in camera angle is clumsy, but eventually he steadies the device on his surroundings. A broken-in window, the snow blown inside in small drifts. As he pans it’s clear that what little home he had started to make for himself has been quite overturned, covers tossed back and pulled off beds, cupboards and shelves standing empty, but he doesn’t linger too long on those. His main focus is on the window, one hand reaching into frame to gesture as he draws closer]

I can manage much of the housework and the cleaning, but it’s this is the trouble - it’s sort of a sash window, but it draws to the side instead of up. [a careful tug - broken glass notwithstanding, it’s clearly stuck open] I’m not sure I can manage to take it off its track by itself - I think the glass will break further if I try. But I hoped someone might try and help me with finding a replacement and perhaps fitting it?

[turning the camera back on himself, a slightly shy smile.]

I should forewarn that I may not be capable of instant repayment, but I would consider myself in your debt and endeavour to do what I can. I… await any reply, even if you’ve only advice to offer, but I shan’t be instantaneous in my replies, you understand. I have no small amount of cleaning up of my own to do…

If it's glass, I should be able to help you. And I just got back into Olympia.

Careful not to cut yourself!

[ He's waving cheerfully at the screen, a bright greeting for Linnaeus, who seems once again to have been dealt a domestic sort of problem. Never mind that Cain was the first domestic problem himself... ]

Have you spoken to any of the guard? You'd think they'd be willing to have the city's restoration efforts include the refugee housing...

Linneus! Hey!

[ It's been a while! And so, Sorey's experience with these things is a little... rusty. Thus, it takes a second for the feed to actually show his face, rather than the ground, the sky, something that might be fabric but isn't quite discernible even as overly-zoomed into focus as it is. ]

I'm not sure I'd know what to do with the window, but if it's cleaning you need a hand with, I'm here to help!

[ Should he say again? ]

Yes, that shouldn't be much trouble. I can fix that quite easily.

Where are you in Olympia?

[Maybe his voice is the last on Lineus' expects to hear on the network. Maybe it isn't! Dylas hadn't planned on replying at first, but after letting it sit for a while...you know, since he's in Wyver right now...he decides to answer anyways.]

You okay?

[Just two words, his tone gruff and unpleasant like always. But. Coming home to find a wrecked home probably isn't easy on the...heart...or something.]

[personal profile] sullenstallion 2017-12-05 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey. Someone has to ask it? Dylas doesn't really care about the property damage as much. He can be a softie sometimes.]

You could do that, yeah. But you aren't, so that's a good start.

[That's almost a compliment if he squints.]

They took all of your food? Every last piece?

You should focus on cleaning first. It's not as hard as it looks.

[He still thinks Linneus might be some fancy noble, alright? Someone who's never worked until they started emptying bedpans.]

Worry about food second.

[personal profile] sullenstallion 2017-12-05 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Wha...you mean you're not some fancy noble or something?

[Or is this like a Cinderella story? His normally emotionless voice comes across as shocked.]

That's what you made it sound like last time.

I can fix the window and I should be able to move it into place. Where are you?

Linneus?

[ lance's voice comes in with a slightly blurry image of the boy, standing in what appears to be a field. definitely not olympia.

he lifts a hand to wipe his sweaty brow with a back of a hand. ]


Wait, someone broke into your house?? Are you okay?
ofseraphim: (facepalmy)

[personal profile] ofseraphim 2017-12-05 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I have! Bad news is, it sounds like that means I was one of the lucky ones...

[ But let's not bring the mood down. ]

You're back in Olympia, right?

[ ...did someone say wrong-doers? sure he's not in Olympia, but... ]

Do you have any suspects?

[ it's the ex-cop in him. or ex-vigilante. or both. ]

If it is, I can go get some tools and make adjustments.

Eh, I'll bring the tools anyway. OMW.

[ ooc: I was going to give him a log today; should I set up a continuation there or here? ]
