013 [action] - backdated to Friday

[Private to France:] How about that coffee? Any time that works for you. (ooc: we could totally skip right to that and tag as if saturday coffee stuff, if you want?)

[And action, after that:] [Basically Cooper is all over the streets of Goldenrod today. He needs a new coat (there’s a nasty-looking tear in the sleeve of the one he’s wearing right now). And a suit (same there). And some strong coffee.]

[If you run into him, you might notice that he looks a bit different – could be the scratches on his face and general messy state. Coop is ... never in a messy state. Feel free to bother him about this and the fact that he seems generally tense.]

Games...

_{[He smiles, and shakes his head.]}

Incredible. Just incredible.

When exactly are you from? When I left, it was October of 2010.

It was March 24th 1989 when I found myself here.

It's fascinating that there are so many different time gaps between people from the same and similar worlds. So much has changed technologically since then; it must have been difficult for you to adjust.

Not as much as some, I imagine. While I'm not technologically inclined I don't find it too difficult to follow instructions.

_{[There's a definite glint of excitement in his eyes that should be familiar to anyone who knows him and he gestures a bit.]}

I never thought I would see something like this. Or this world, but that goes without saying.

I hate following directions for electronics. They're often more confusing and damaging than trial and error.

This place certainly is unique. It's definitely not anything like Earth. There aren't enough nightclubs.

I'll admit to it being confusing at times. I mostly try to stick with what I know.

_{[Hence why everything he does is audio. He misses his tape recorder a lot, actually.]}

Maybe you should start or fund one.

Yes, but where would I start? I don't even know where I would go to rent a facility that could host such things, or what the minimum wage here is, or even if people would be interested. I suppose I could do a survey, but the only thing I know for sure is that this city would be a prime location. And what sort of music would I even play? The stuff here is generally awful.

_{[Yes, but it's not Diane, and it's - not the kind of tape recorder he's been used to since he was 13. He misses it for sentimental reasons, mostly. And because he knew his tapes would get to the right person, which they don't here. Heck, there are no tapes here. So unfamiliar. ;o;]}

You'll figure something out.

_{[He smiles, a little.]}

Either that or it's as they say - some things are just not meant to be. Maybe night clubs is one of them, regrettably.

I'm sure that there would be interest among us foreigners for a nightclub or two, but I'll have to do my research.

_{[They're still all the rage in Coop's head. Recording things = good.]

[Cooper doesn't really answer, instead watching France think.]}

It would be beautiful. So many lights, so many drinks, so much sex...

_{[He shakes his head, amused. That's what you want to achieve, France?]}

I thought you had a partner.

_{[Lightly teasing, he knows that France probably meant for other people, but hey.]}

Sex is a beautiful thing! Who is to say I cannot still appreciate its delectable art?

_{[Coop grins a small grin, leaning back a little.]} I don't think I've met anyone who has referred to sex as "art" before.

You, good sir, have obviously been deprived. Haven't you ever entered that moment of bliss when sharing yourself with another, that moment when everything is at your fingertips and more?

Yes, I have.

_{[Not uncomfortable with the topic, he clarifies.]}I said nothing indicating otherwise. I was merely stating that in my experience few people view it that way or, if they have, they have not vocalised such an opinion.

Edited 2011-03-26 11:29 (UTC)

No need to be shy. This is France with whom you're speaking. If anyone has made art out of such things, then it would be me.

_{[Shy, what?]}

I'll take your word for it.

Of course! I defined courtly love, the most romantic aspect of royalty.

Sounds like a pleasant state of mind.

Very much so!

Although, if you got caught, it was pretty awful at times...

I take it that was some time ago. Tolerance on the whole was lower, right?

_{[Regarding any kind of behaviour that broke any kind of norm, including excessive romantic tendencies.]}

Sort of...

It depended on the genders of the parties involved. And class.

You didn't stick to the acceptable norm.

_[Right?]
