Well, that went about as well as it could've. Bit disappointed I was late for the party earlier with Kouga and Leo, though my other theory about the little present I got ended up being true. Too bad - doesn't suit me to have a matching set.

Enough of that, though - I'm curious, since people do mention it from time to time:

Do you prefer working alone or in a group when you're asked to do something?

[The video flips on and it's blurry and then shakes as Birkin's phone flies through the air and lands in a pile of dirt. Birkin is then seen following his phone's example and landing in Stein's front yard before the owner of said house slams his front door and locks it.

Birkin, rather understandably, sits up looking absolutely livid]

Asshole! Fucker! You can't just kick me out of my own house you dick! Three years and this is what I get?! No! No, no, no... I'll get a lawyer! I'm pretty sure we were in a common law marriage at this point! And I will sue your ass in half, Fran- Stein!

[He sighs, before picking up his phone and clearing his raw-from-yelling-way-too-much throat] Yeah, hi, I, uh... I need a worldhop back home I guess. Home-home, I mean. The universe I was born in, the one I won't get [turns back to Stein's house, showing the variety of things all belonging to Birkin littering the lawn] forcibly removed from! At a moment's notice! For no reason! [Ahems again and goes back to the phone.] So, yeah, I, uh... Yeah, worldhop. Home. Et cetera.

Oh! Uh... A-Ah, uh... Annette? Can we...? Can I...? [He sighs again, looking guilty and embarrassed] Can I just talk to you? Please?

[Somehow or another, Birkin manages to stop the video before he starts to cry, but the audio manages to pick up the beginning of a sob before getting cut off.]

Uhh... [he seems calm at least...]

[and then all the OH GOD WHY comes into his face] What the heck is this supposed to even mean?!

Fuck. Alright. Fine. Shit, I've had tattoos that were easier to shake than this goddamn community. Are you happy now? Is this what you wanted? [And yes, it's perfectly normal to hold a conversation with a website. Especially if you’re Michael Trinity] Did Michel put you up to this because I forgot our anniversary? Is that what this is?

[There's a small thud and then a sigh]

Well I'm here now, so you can kindly just fuck off and give me my browser back.

[Cranky? Who, him? No, why would he be cranky? It's not like the community attacked him while he was uploading data to his terminal and gave him a headache or anything.]

Looks like things have changed since I've been away though. Like seriously, what's up with the domain change? Time for a roll call. [Amused] I'll start. I'm Michael and I'm a student studying aerospace engineering.

Your turn.
