truant[video; private]
It's been a while since our last installation; and really, I offer my sincere apologies for being so lax in my account. You know how it is. Life keeps moving, you've gotta keep up. Things have certainly kept moving here. Not entirely in a positive sense-- biblical plagues can put a damper on things, but, hey, we pull through.
I'm taking today's "curse" [the quotations are indicated with finger gestures] as a bit of a peace offering, though. Really, it's almost as if the City doesn't want me to be homesick. Which I appreciate, sincerely.
And hey -- apparently, I'm an icon of the eighties. Really, I'd be more surprised about it, but I always suspected the decade and I had a special relationship.

[Ferris appears with a reassuring smile.]
Good afternoon, City. Ferris Bueller here with a helpful bit of advice to help you survive the day.
Do not attempt to adjust your set. The colors are that bright. To be honest, they're not really my personal style, but hey -- to each their own. I'm not about to get on anyone's case if Day Glo is their idea of a good look. You get used to it. Oh, and then there's the leather, the lace and the studs. I have to level with you there, all that hardware's a little bit too complicated for me.
As to my own personal tastes...
[He pulls on his beret.]
Well, I prefer the understated classics. It helps you maintain yourself as a free-floating individual, not pigeonholing yourself into a predefined social circle. It can be limiting, you know, letting your appearance define you before you have a chance to do it yourself based on your own personal views and merits.
I seem to have gotten off on a tangent. At any rate--
[He pauses to pull his glasses on and smirks at the camera.]
I'm going out to enjoy this choice day. Frankly, when the deities decide your era is the next stop on the time shuffle, you've just got to see for yourself what they do with it.
