[The video feed is live, but the visibility is terrible. The tablet's owner sits in the near-dark, three stripes of red light where his face should be. Diego's spent much of his initial week in as much solitude as the circumstances allowed, an ear tuned to the chatter streaming over the network.

Best to test the temperature lest you burn your tongue on the first sip. That's what he always says.

But there's a matter that needs to be addressed, and urgently.

When he speaks, his voice is gruff, drawling:]


This world seems determined to serve up one cup of bitterness after another: monsters, mayhem, missions to the past.

[The red light flashes when it's briefly obscured by his knuckles and the handle of a mug as Diego puts it to his lips. The contents are choked down with a scowl that's barely readable in the low light. ]

I was happy to swallow every drop until I tasted this sewer water. They call it "coffee", I call it an abomination.

If there's a single tolerable bean in this city, I want it. Name your price.

Huh...

[ still seems odd to him, but what does he know. ]

And you can see properly with that thing?
neveraskedforthis: (yes do go on)

I've... got something similar. That's the only reason.

[ at least it's not shades of gray. HOWEVER Adam thinks that reference to a terrible book that was popular during his younger years will be lost on this guy, so he spares him. ]

It's not quite so extreme for me and I can turn it off, but everything has a nice golden hue for me.

I imagine red must be a little more irritating.
