[video] Unboxing

[ Grif is broadcasting from his room again, this time he's set his comm on something so it's facing toward his desk, where he's gathered a small collection of packages. This angle shows that even the wall of his room he hasn't shown is home to a pile of laundry, some discarded containers, and one boot just lying on its side in the middle of the floor. ]

Hey guys, I actually got some stuff while we were at that convention. Like, people actually gave it to me. And I figure that whatever it is, it's probably going to be amazing, horrible, or amazingly horrible. I shouldn't have to suffer through that alone, so I'm going to share the experience.

[ And brag if it's cool. But Grif prefers to focus on the negatives. He grabs a box. ]

So, let's get this shit started.

[ Grif dives in with gusto. He skims quickly through letters people have attached, making faces when people get shippy or a little too hero-worshippy. That's still super weird to him.

The fandom, for all its strangeness, has at least paid attention. Several people have showered him in snacks. Grif cheerfully stacks them up, though he nudges a few to the side that appear to be intended for aliens.]


Dude I can't even read some of these, I'm gonna have to figure out what they are. I'll let you guys know if they're any good. Or, you know, horribly toxic.

[ Then there are cookies. Two dozen of them. Two dozen cookies with hand-iced slogans supporting Primetime as the one true pairing on them. Grif sighs and rolls his eyes. ]

They're sending me more propaganda, guys.

[ ...And a rolled up printout of someone's epic fanfiction on the subject is tucked in there with them, because of course there is. Grif glances at it and the eyerolling only intensifies. ]

Yeah, this is going in the do-not-read-ever file.

[ He unceremoniously tosses it over his shoulder to land on one of his many trash heaps. ]

What else. Is this a shi-

[ He stops dead. ]

Why?

[ It is a shirt. A lovely custom printed number with DOUBLEPRIME 4EVER in painstakingly done typography on the front and a questionably accurate fanart of Grif and Rich looking sappy on the back. He shows off both sides, then looks at the camera like he's on the office with the least amused of stares. ]

Why though?

[ Just why. It joins the fanfic on the pile. The next box goes over better, there are several little decorative figures of himself and a few other Legionnaires. He immediately puts the Doubletime bobblehead on his desk, evidently quite pleased with it. ]

See, this stuff is good!

[ The collection rounds out with several other miscellaneous gifts, things people just thought he might like. There's a wall decal of a (perfectly vegan) pizza, which he's definitely going to put up like immediately. There's a sealed beer with a note about how someone wanted to buy him a drink but couldn't find him, so they mailed it. Some joker sent him a towel with the big Legion L on it and a bar of soap, which gets the most impressive sigh and eyeroll out of him yet. Overall, though, Grif's had a good time with this. ]

Alright, that's it for my generous, weird, possibly stalkery public.

[ He's sort of proud, actually. Creepiness and all. Grif may not like all of the attention he's getting, but he just basks in attention of any kind anyway. ]

How's being famous treating you guys, huh? Please tell me nobody got any underwear.

Oh my God.

[ What is this. What is life. ]

I didn't actually open anything people gave me? Which is looking like a better and better choice.

Really hate to disappoint you.

[Dry, dry as a desert experiencing a hundred year drought, Trunks just stares straight at the camera like he's in an episode of Space Office.

He'd had them thrown at his head. Granted, his reflexes were good enough that he hadn't gotten any panties to the face, but if this was what it was like being famous, he really didn't like it.]

I have commercials with my very own action figure.

Life's pretty good.

[Laughing at his pain and awkwardness are you.]

What's that website that they're always talking about? Where you can't actually say anything to people because you have to keep it to some arbitrary number of characters, and then they tag things so everyone sees it?

[Twitter, Trunks. You're talking about Twitter. Or whatever analogue exists here.]

They started one of those tags.

Pretty sure I didn't feel this much like dying when I actually died.
headinjuries: in spanish? (what is TOTES MCGOATS)

You sure you really wanna see what's in there when there's probably a lot of that weird dad crap with you and Rich?
headinjuries: a fart during an awkward silence between 2 strangers doesnt make it less awkward. (life lesson #1:)

[personal profile] headinjuries 2016-08-18 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
...okay, that's fair.

[He just, with a completely straight face...pans the camera over to the heaping box of them he was handed. They all sent them to one point person, apparently, who just packed them in like a clown car so the second he curiously opened said box underwear exploded everywhere like the world's worst glitter bomb.

Most of it is very obviously women's underwear. Lace and frills abound. He will be burning it all.]


I know a couple people that would be absolutely thrilled by this. Well. One person and one pig.

You think I can get a discount if I bought one for myself?

[Make that ten.]

[You're not expecting words, right? Because there's no chance of there being any words, not for a few minutes. Only laughter.]

Sorry, sorry. I know, it's the animal magnetism.

[He doesn't actually think this highly of himself, but for the sake of joking around, he's willing to act like it.]

But it's not like I can turn it off.

No, I mean a literal pig. His name is Oolong, he's an old friend of my mom's.

[Though really, it is both literal and figurative in this case.

In response to the eligible bachelor question, he just scoffs. Nope. He doesn't like this very much.]


Can't say I'm enjoying it.
fighting4afuture: (curious)

[personal profile] fighting4afuture 2016-08-18 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Why? It's no different than Nick and Judy. Except he can shapeshift and is a lot more crass.
