[ A tired young man who looks exactly like Billy Kaplan, colouring aside, is broadcasting from one of them Diadem rooms. ]
Anyone else fall out of the sky and run down the side of a building today? I might’ve missed seeing someone worthwhile because I didn’t read the nonexistent sign telling me to stay put the entire time.
So. Guilds, flash hotel rooms, superhero social media for public outreach or whatever. Consider yourselves reached. Name’s Speed. Should I give the tour now, or wait until I hit ten thousand followers? Nah. I know.
[ There’s a jumble of frames that are barely in focus. Anyone who pauses at the right spots will catch moments of a superspeed tour of the room: Tommy dressed but in repose on the bed, pretending to drink from the minibar, showing off the full ice bucket, and of course a bathroom mirror selfie before returning to where he’s been sitting. ]
I’ll redo it every time I get a cool number of follows, a little slower each time. I get bored. I’m already bored. There’s nothing to do in this hotel except watch tv. I’m going out. In a world where you could go anywhere you want at any minute, where would you go that’s not lame?
And don’t say Paris - I’ve been there, and it’s French. Good carbs. Bad music.

If my interests are new interests, then what? Anything I say would taint the responses. Besides, most people like talking about themselves.
[ He is sounding increasingly distracted as he ponders her appearance. ]
I like places to go and touch and be and do. I don’t like sitting and watching someone else live or fake live, so no movies or plays please - Are you telekinetic or is that your hair?
no subject
The hair is natural. The ribbons are enchanted.
[ Said with the casual flow of someone who has been asked this many times. ]
Going and touching and doing could lead you many places. Tell me... Do you enjoy nightclubs?
no subject
[ He's already into the discussion, and he perks up more at the suggestion of nightclubs. ]
If they're good. There's an immediate, steep dropoff between amazing and tragic, and it's like a direct line between the amount of baseball caps, oversized polo shirts, and Axe body spray they let through the front door.
no subject
I'm afraid you are too young, and too male for my tastes.
But, you should come visit the club where I work. Club Crimson. Nary a baseball cap in sight, and the only axes there are my own.

[ He hadn't meant anything by the compliment (aside from the compliment itself), but he'd rather go along with being dismissed for reasons than take back the compliment or explain that he's not looking for a date right now. ]
Breathable air and no hathead, you say? What city is it in?
no subject
[ She fumbles with her phone for a moment, then sends a location ping. She's still learning technology, but she's much better than she used to be. ]
