[Action 1; Post Office; Mid-morning]
[His week, thus far, has sucked. Pulling a corpse out of a pool tends to do that to a guy. It's with no small amount of mild paranoia (and curiosity, let's be honest) that he stops in at the post office to claim the package waiting for him. Outside, he uses his house key to cut a jagged tear in the box tape, pulling the top flap off and finding himself greeted by a cool, green glow.]
No way.
[Lifting the handle just slightly, the edge of what appears to be a green railroad lantern can be seen before he slips it back in the box. Hal's day has just turned up.]
Oh baby, are you ever a sight for sore eyes.
[Action 2; Neutron Diner; Afternoon]
[After the power battery has been safely stowed at the house (as he wishes he had somewhere more secure...Sinestro is surely chortling at him), he stops in for a late lunch. Maybe he sees a friend?]

Date: 2011-07-22 06:39 am (UTC)Here's a hint: it might be.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 06:48 am (UTC)Home. Now.

Date: 2011-07-22 08:20 am (UTC)[Holding the box to his chest, he lets her pull him along like a recalcitrant child.]
Should we stop by ye olde Pleasantville grocers? I think this calls for a beer, or several. Olney's is a little too bland for my tastes.

no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 11:46 am (UTC)[He's a little out of breath. He's holding a brightly-colored bat (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Atomizer) in one hand and a can of soda in the the other.]
Oh, I made it to tha diner! (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Bonk!_Atomic_Punch)

Date: 2011-07-22 03:19 pm (UTC)Are they ever done right? I haven't been here often enough to catch that.
[ She blinks a bit, and her smile brightens. ]
You're in a good mood today.

Date: 2011-07-22 06:06 pm (UTC)Beer? Come on, this is a champagne occasion if I've ever seen one.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 06:28 pm (UTC)[Her excitement is infectious, and he chuckles.]
It just seems to be the battery, I'm still missing an integral piece of the puzzle. But this is a start, at least.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 06:37 pm (UTC)Wait, so it doesn't actually do anything?
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 07:14 pm (UTC)Once I get my ring, it will provide its charge. A power ring is only useful if you have a way of charging it, otherwise you'll get one good light show and a pretty, empty ring. Considering how the town nerfs powers here, I wouldn't be surprised if it drains ring energy at a faster rate.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 07:24 pm (UTC)Got a plan on how to get your ring back, then, hoss?
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 07:57 pm (UTC)Am I? [That smile grows, sly at the edges. He practically radiates goodwill, his countenance light. Of course, this means he's prime for flirting.]
I got something from home today.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 08:17 pm (UTC)Hey! Good day today? [Then, with a nod to the bat.] I didn't know you played.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-22 08:47 pm (UTC)Are ya kiddin'? I only eat, sleep an' breathe the game.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-23 02:32 am (UTC)Ooh, really? Tangible or intangible... or seeeeekrit?
[ Ilsa raises an eyebrow. ]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-23 08:36 am (UTC)[At her look he sobers, mildly.] I'll burn that bridge when I come to it. It might take another trip to the post office and a trade of some kind to have it returned.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-25 02:50 am (UTC)[He shrugs a shoulder.] It's just something from home, made me feel a bit better. I think it excited my roommate more than I.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-25 03:29 am (UTC)Given that I've not actually met your roommate, I really shouldn't be imagining what her fetish might be. Uniforms come to mind.
[ Nope, not implying a thing here. ]
