[Look when you're trying to learn how to use this device thing there are going to be mistakes. This is one of them. Beep beep. Click.]

"I thought he died."

"No, he didn't die. They don't do that kind of shit. It's Happy Days."

[Beep of a button being pressed. Slurping a drink.]

"Well he disappeared."

"Yeah, they call it college. At least in TV land. Either way, after a while it didn't matter."

[More shuffling...and maybe the crinkling of a wrapper...then:]

"You seriously watched Happy Days?"

Comments

[whitetwoguns]

Yeah. Yeah I did. What about it?

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

Nothin'.

[Except no because it's funny and he's not hiding this grin around his fry.]

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

[Chews at his burger a little before speaking again.]

What kind of shit did you watch then, huh? Especially without flawed continuity.

audiojack;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, everything in those days had so much flawed continuity. It's bothersome.

[orangetoughguy]

[Kojak. No better not. Fucking Baretta. No absolutely not. Charlie's Angels. Um.]

I wasn't sayin' continuity is shit.

[White flag. Let's leave it at that.]

Happy Days has its moments. At the time it was quality T.V.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

[There's a lot of staring at his phone.]

Who's this.

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Xander? You know you're audio's on, right? The conversation was heard completely.

Who is this?

audio

[orangetoughguy]

It's a phone. It's supposed to be on when I pick it up. How'd you get this number?

[Not about to let on to his techy ineptitude.]

audio

[whitetwoguns]

[Shifting in the diner seat.]

Is that from the phone thing?

The hardware must be more sensitive than a fucking teenager. Did you even touch it?

audio

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

[And Xander's going to chuckle.]

[eiremagic]

Wait what's wrong with Happy Days?

audio;

[whitetwoguns]

Notta thing. Tell him.

audio;

[eiremagic]

It's part of the American cultural canon!

[orangetoughguy]

[WAIT A SECOND.]

Eden?

[eiremagic]

Trust me, boyo, no one else in the City has me accent.

Your device is recording.

Not that Happy Days is bad to open to discussion.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

I got that. Who's this?

audio ][

[justdoingmyjob.livejournal.com]

Peter. Met in the hospital, but I'm not quite as memorable as Eden and Cameron.

[as_damaged]

I'm sure someone's pointed out that you're broadcasting. One of the hazards of life here, I'm afraid.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

Twice over. Thanks. Did you have a hard time too?

audio;

[as_damaged]

You get used to it, more or less, after a while... but unfortunately the devices have a habit of accidentally turning on at the worst times.

How are you adjusting to life in the City otherwise?

audio ][

[adamantined]

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

That's the one.

audio ][

[adamantined]

You can't tell me that you honestly never watched Happy Days.
