[ The video opens on Klaus, settled on a bench outside, looking a little tired and restless, what with the way he glances around him before he starts. A bus roars by in the background, but he waves off someone just outside of the viewing area, looking bemused when he turns his attention back to the video. ]
While I can appreciate the divine paradisaical mundanity of a place like this, I just can't contain myself. I've seen some of the delightfully anonymous posts from our adoring fans, and it really makes us out to be much more entertaining than we are, don't you think?
[ He pauses and glances over his shoulder, hushing someone off screen. Is it a ghost? Probably.Definitely. ]
Why I've only been here a week and haven't heard a single peep that doesn't reek of domestic bliss. By all means, bake your bread, enjoy your evening shows, revel in your day job that you've been so graciously bestowed. But does anyone have any fun around here? Inquiring minds need to know.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, after all.

Speak for yourself, I'm incredibly entertaining, thank you very much.
( Shame Ben isn't still around to speak to that. Hanscom, that is; not Hargreeves. )
That's a really broad question. Some people might consider sitting at home reading a book to be fun. Some people might require a night out at the club to have fun. And then there's the people who can find fun in just about anything if they really put their mind to it and those are my people. Pick your poison, honey. I'll tell you the best spot for whatever it is that makes you not such a dull boy.

[ Klaus smirks, listening to her as he props his chin in his hand, drumming fingertips on his cheek and jaw. ]
Entertain me, then. What would you do for fun, since you appear to be the connoisseur of all things poisonously fun.
no subject
I am. I do a lot of things for fun, depending on the night and my mood. Tonight, I'm trying to decide between shopping downtown or cruising for an especially pretty academic at the Starbucks in the community college library. After I finish training my new protege on how to kick ass and take names, that is.
( She is so sorry, Adam, please do not call her out where people can see it. Framing it that way gives her way more clout. )
no subject
[ Klaus is a man of opportunity, after all. ] The day is yet young and all those cute little academic types will be inhaling their caffeine fix long after lunch time, praying to the gods of Academia to write their papers for them. After all, if you're on the prowl, you'll need to make sure you have the perfect outfit. The look is half the battle. Make 'em all weak in the knees.
[ A shrug. ] Your protege could make a learning experience out of it. Life is so short, after all.
no subject
( She looks a little apologetic. )
That said, you do make a good point about needing the perfect outfit and while my wardrobe is plentiful, it will never be complete. Is waiting until 7 too long for you to wait?
no subject
[ He sighs dramatically. ] But seven will do. I will persevere.
no subject
( Lydia smiles a little. )
I'll see you at 7, then, sweetie. Looking forward to it.

Define fun, first.
video;
Well generally speaking I believe fun is anything one derives pleasure or enjoyment from. Though I always prefer my fun to be a little left of PG-13 and stopping just short of X-rated, depending on the day. But I'll try anything twice.
no subject
Well...that's still pretty broad. On the PG-13 end of the spectrum, I keep meaning to take the hypermonorail to Baltimore to check out the National Aquarium or testing out that Supers only portal from here to Laguna Beach, and perhaps having company might actually give me that last little nudge of motivation I need to actually do it.
On the just short of X-rated end of the scale, there's Sexy Saturdays at Landos. I haven't been, yet, because I just found out about it the other night, but it's on my To-Do this weekend.
Are you more interested in day time activity or after dark? The narrower you make my focus, the better my suggestions will be. ...well, at least I'll try. I haven't had much time here to check everything out, yet, but I've been poking around a fair share.
no subject
[ He snorts at himself on that one until his expression shifts and he passes a dirty look off screen. Seriously, the ghosts here are so nosy! ]
But a trip to Baltimore and a sexy Saturday? You've got yourself a date. Where, when, and please let me know if it's clothing optional. [ He grins, tapping a finger against his lips. ] The little Saturday adventure, that is. I'd hate to show up in my birthday suit at the aquarium. I'd scare all the fish away, poor things.
no subject
( Her expression looks like it can't decide between confused and amused at the look on his face. )
Oh, good! I don't know about the clothing thing, but I'm guessing you'll want to wear something because that place is a little bit yuck during the week, if I'm being fully honest. When do you want to go to Baltimore?
no subject
[ Not that he's the paragon of either of this things, of course. ]
Oh let me check my diary and see— oh wait, I'm here on loan, after all. I'm all yours for the next two days. For longer, if you care to rot your brain out with a little meditation and a deep look into your soul.
no subject
( She's laughing, though, when she says it. It's not so bad, but it's definitely not as nice as Perfect Spot. But then Klaus mentions meditating and she's instantly excited. )
Shut up, I love meditation! Do you meditate?!
no subject
I... do? [ Congratulations, Jo, you've genuinely caught him off guard. ] I'm currently training to be a Thought Leader at the spa downtown and I have the pleasure of leading a session this weekend, in fact. Oh, Though leader's just a fancy word for expert meditator, I'll have you know.
no subject
Oh, I'm so coming to that. I haven't sat for a guided meditation in way, way too long. When's your session?
no subject

[A pause.]
You tried boozing it up at a nightclub yet? Since you wanna make your own excitement.
no subject
[ He makes the explosion with his hands for dramatic effect. ] But I don't know that I'd prefer here to there. Running is so good for my delicate figure. A nightclub could be a good replacement, though. Know a good one?
no subject
[Give Richie a second, he’s checking on Google Maps. After a moment:]
Try the Perfect Spot on Main Street. Or Fahrenheit off Main Street. Oakdale Theater’s where I work, if you feel like catching a comedy show or some amateur trying a new spin on Shakespeare.
no subject
[ He sighs and props his chin in his hand. But he raises his eyebrows all the same. ] Nothing like bad comedy and butchered Shakespeare— the greatest comedic tragedy of them all— to really get you going, huh?
no subject
[That makes him laugh, a little. Yeah, not all the comedy at the Oakdale Theater's that bad, but most of it is clearly made by amateurs who haven't quite gotten the knack of it just yet. Richie might be the only professional comedian working there, now that he thinks about it. Certainly he's the only one who can get consistent laughs.]
Hurtful. [Placing a hand over his heart like Klaus has actually physically struck him.] Don't put some college student's all-dogs Hamlet on the same level as my shitty jokes. It's not their fault they have to make up for every terrible amateur comedian telling anecdotes about their sad lack of a love life onstage.
no subject
[ He hums, thoughtful. ] Jeez. That's a lot to unpack for a college kid. So who's really the loser here?
no subject
[A shrug.] Speaking as a comedian? The college kids. They’re idealistic, they have these big dreams about [dropping into a New York Critic accent:] “interrogating the text from a new and modern perspective to enhance its relevance to the audiences of today”. But then they gotta share a stage with me and fifteen amateur stand-up comedians. The poor bastards.
no subject
[ He perks up when the man's accent changes and he laughs. ] You sound like you're a tough act to beat. Unless you have a room full of furries, because they'll eat up that Shakespeare with dogs bullshit any day.
no subject
That’s just ‘cause I’ve been a comedian for years, of course I’m a tough act to follow. But you’d think there’d be more effort. [A snort of laughter.] Shakespearean dogs would be a fucking hit at furry conventions. Nothing like a dog barking at a skull to really get them in the mood, yeah?
no subject
[ He sighs and sinks his chin into his hand, elbow propped on the armrest of the park bench. ] Dogs barking up boners, what's there not to like?
no subject
Well, nothing if you’re a furry. [Doing an impression of a roguish action hero:] Is that a juicy treat in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
