7th day off • [ all my powers waste away i fear the crazed and lonely looks ]

[video; private]

[A listless Ferris is sitting on the couch in the apartment. He's wearing pajamas, underneath a robe which is loosely and sloppily tied. Equally lethargic is John Lennon, the Japanese Akita that sleeps next to him, head resting comfortably on Ferris' motionless leg. Ferris stares at the camera for a very long moment.]

...ngh.

[The leg that doesn't have a dog on it reaches forward and pokes at the device, switching on the public feed.]

[end private]

[begin public video feed]

[The foot that Ferris used to activate the device is withdrawn and all of the City now has the ability to see him in his pajamas-and-robe-clad, lazy, couch-ridden glory. The dog sleeping on his other leg opens an eye as Ferris rests his leg back down on the coffee table, but soon closes it and settles back down.]

Man, there's a lot of noise out there. Way to make it hard for a guy to relax, City.

[He picks up a 360 controller off the arm of the sofa and waves it at the screen.]

This, by the way? Serious upgrade from what I'm used to.

[No longer addressing the camera, he calls into the apartment.]

Xander! Do we have any chips?

[Simultaneously, he reaches out with his foot and pokes at the device, succeeding only in shaking it. He takes another stab, destabilizing the device further as the dog whines at him for moving too much. On a third attempt, the feed cuts off entirely.]


[ooc:Average Joe Day does this to Ferris.]

Wow. Feeling lazy today, brother?

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-18 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Eh. Gotta relax once in a while, right?

[identity profile] theshockvalue.livejournal.com 2010-04-18 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I don't remember the last time I had the time.

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-18 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's a shame. Some days I think you're just not supposed to move.

Or, you know, get up and dressed.

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess I usually am, too, but... well, I woke up today and just didn't really care.

[action] I'm totally not late! Don't look at the time! It lies!

[identity profile] not-pirate.livejournal.com 2010-04-18 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[From in the kitchen] Do pretzels count as chips? If so...still no.

[action] I am not late either! Just... in the future. Yeah.

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Short, defeated silence.] So, uh... what do we have?

[action] Wow...the future!

[identity profile] not-pirate.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Pudding cups, pizza rolls, and some things that require can openers.

[action] It's seriously amazing, I'm in my flying car right now

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Huh.

You, uh... think one of those pudding cups could get a hand finding its way over here?

[action] You are my idol!

[identity profile] not-pirate.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I'll even bring a spoon. [And have a Xander heading your way, spoon and cup in hand.] Are you sick or something? You don't seem as Ferris-y as usual today. Ferris-y not to be confused with pharisee.

[action] pshaw. When you get here I'll show you my transporter XD

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Ferris arches a brow at that.] I don't think so. I just sort of woke up not really... caring.

[Even his reaching for the pudding is pretty listless.]

[action] Now you're just hitting on me. <3

[identity profile] not-pirate.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
You always care. You put yourself into brushing your hair in the morning. [Isn't being too helpful on the pass off of the cup, because watching him was kind of fascinating.]

I've never heard of anyone waking up with a case of apathy.

[action] XDDD

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not as if I did that today, either. It does seem kind of off, doesn't it?

[He's going to continue reaching as much as he can without moving too much. John is objecting to the disturbance with a whine.]

[action] ^_^

[identity profile] not-pirate.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Finally turns over the pudding cup and the spoon.] I wonder if it's a curse.

...Kind of a lame curse though.

[action]

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He settles back with that happily.] Maybe? I guess it's kind of disappointing.

[Yawn.]

Oh well... whatever.

[action]

[identity profile] not-pirate.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you're just staying in today then?

[action]

[identity profile] tenthsickday.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. Right here if I have my way.

[action]

I guess there's no reason to fight it. One day of lounging isn't a big deal. [He isn't cursed but the urge to lounge is now strong in this one...] I've got some carpentry guy stuff to do today though. [Look how comfy that chair over there is though...]
