Hey, ya'll! DJ Lúcio comin' at ya! How's everyone settling back in? I'm sure you all aged gracefully. Now, originally me and Mettaton were gonna surprise you guys in a month or so with a rave, but... [his expression goes hollow for a moment.] I think we'll scrap that for now. That being said, if anyone needs help with anything, just give me a buzz. I'm always around.

[lúcio never wants to party again and he has a sneaking suspicion every single crew member might feel the same.]

I have a couple things to update you guys on, anyway! For some reason, a ton of new music came through the Ingress and the kind workers in mail addressed it to yours truly. I'll use it to give you guys some variety to listen to! If it makes just one crew member feel a little better, then I'll count it as a wild success. If anyone wants a song or twelve sent to their MID, let me know.

[his tone grows somber.]

Secondly... I can't find Trish around or on the MID. Doesn't seem like she's on the roster anymore. She was a truly inspired individual and a pleasure to work with, so I'm sorry if you knew her. This next song is for you, girl.

((just a quick reminder that i made a ooc post last month about what to expect on the radio and how it could possibly used to icly spread information and be a spark for CR. i'll try to make a more comprehensive post about it on lúcio's journal at some point this weekend because i'm meticulous and have nothing better to do /gunfingers))

[ He sighs tiredly. ]

I'm thinkin' more like Alison Krauss. Or something along them lines. Something relaxing.

[wallride]

Alison Krauss with beeps and boops?

[HE'S NEVER LETTING THAT GO OKAY no okay he will after this just once more OKAY]

[flashbanging]

[ He groans! ]

C'mon, fella. I've had a long coupla days.

[wallride]

Alright, alright. I just had to do the call back. Brace for impact, McCree! I got a whole bunch of music for ya!

[there's like 4 legit ones then it's just big green tractor and like 6 remixes.]

[flashbanging]

[ FORTUNATELY he unironically enjoys the likes of most country and western music, no matter how questionable the provenance. The remixes are a little iffy, but if there's some Cash and some bluegrass in there--he's grateful. ]

You got interestin' taste, partner. I'll give you that.

[ He sounds half-amused, half-exhausted. ]

Thanks, though. I needed a distraction.

locked - FIRST USE OF NEW ICONS FOR YOUUUUU

[wallride]

[uh ohhh spagettiooooo... lúcio locks the communication line, tone suddenly serious.

he doesn't know mccree's involvement with overwatch, but still considers him a friend.]

You alright, man? What's been going on?

hashtag blessed

[flashbanging]

[ He doesn't know Lucio well. He remembers the kid from when he was a kid, during those temporal shenanigans--an embarrassment in and of itself. But besides his ridiculous flirting technique, he remembers Lucio taking it in stride. The guy's been a pretty positive force of energy all around, jabs at McCree's musical taste aside.

He sighs. ]

Just a lot been goin' on. You're from my neck of the woods, so I dunno if you ever saw the news reports, but we got a real bad sort on board with us here.

[wallride]

Uh. The guy with the red visor or the one with the black cloak? Or both?

[lúcio figures it might be the latter, seeing as reaper was trying to goad 76 into attacking him.]

They ain't been giving you trouble, have they?

[flashbanging]

Red visor fella ain't too friendly, but he's not a bad man.

[ A bad man wouldn't have given him a leaf cone. Surely not. ]

Black cloak, now, that's the one you gotta watch out for. He goes by Reaper, these days. Has it out for Overwatch. Not real fond of anybody else, either.

[ He rubs the back of his neck. ]

I've had run-ins with both of em, but it was Reaper who damn near tanned my hide.

[wallride]

Mmm. On the fence with him, personally.

[he punched lúcio twice, but also made sure he didn't pass out where he could drown. but then also just dumped him under a tree and left him. HMMM.]

There's that Overwatch again. For an organisation that haven't been around for a while those guys sure have a lot of drama, huh?

[flashbanging]

[ McCree does wonder where that coolness comes from, especially given Lucio's otherwise friendly attitude. Perhaps 76 had greeted Lucio with the same warmth he'd offered McCree, back then. A fist to the jaw isn't the most pleasant means of introduction, but McCree's let it go, for the most part. Reaper is a much bigger shadow over his mind.

He rubs the back of his neck as he replies, his tone turning sheepish. ]

Yeah. Reckon we did.

[ He thinks over recent events. Sighs. ]

Still do, apparently.

[wallride]

"We"? Huh.

[well, THAT'S interesting.]

I'll do you a favour and refrain from asking, I feel like there's a bunch of stuff behind that.

[time to??? stay in his lane??]

[flashbanging]

[ He shrugs. ]

I don't mind it. If you got something you wanna know, I'd be glad to help you out. Been a while since I was part of things proper, though.

[wallride]

[...okay he's honestly too curious to stay entirely in his lane. lúcio swerves into the overwatch lane slightly.]

Who here has ties to it, exactly?

[flashbanging]

[ He taps his chin. ]

Me, a'course. Angie--Dr. Ziegler. Old man Reinhardt was one of the founders. So was Gabe, for that matter.

[ Hmm, who else ... ]

That's about it for the folks we got here presently. I suspect 76 has somethin' to do with us, but I can't pin it down just yet.

[wallride]

Ah, yeah. I remember Reinhardt mentioning that.

[lúcio frowns at the unfamiliar name.]

Who's Gabe?

[flashbanging]

[ Wups. He murmurs, sounding just so slightly forlorn. ]

Reaper. Gabe's who he used to be, back before it all went to hell. Gabriel Reyes.

[wallride]

The apple murdering guy? He was in a peacekeeping operation?!

[flashbanging]

[ He chuckles weakly. ]

I wanna tell you he wasn't always so dramatic, but ...

[ He shrugs. ]

Some things don't change.

[wallride]

He's a bit beyond dramatic, man.

[lúcio sucks some air in through his teeth.]

I mean, I'm not sure what to expect considering what happened, but... man, I dunno. This is too complex for me.

[he's just a simple dj]

[flashbanging]

[ McCree can't really argue with any of that. ]

Don't worry too much about it. Just--if you see that fella comin' towards you, try to duck outta the way.

[wallride]

Yeah, no problem. What happened to him?

[that is one thing lúcio wants to know.]

[flashbanging]

Wish I could tell you.

[ He wishes he knew the whole of it, himself. ]

Last I saw him, things weren't right--but he was alive. He wasn't ...

[ McCree trails off, frustrated; possibly even a little forlorn. He had loved Reyes as a father, after all. ]

He wasn't whatever the hell he is now.

[wallride]

I get what you mean, man. I'm sorry for pressing. And for, uh. The situation.

[yyyiiikkkeeesss]

[flashbanging]

You're all right.

[ He shakes his head; sighs. ]

I'm pretty sorry about it, myself.

[ But he doesn't mean to burden Lucio with his problems. His voice takes on a lighter tone. ]

Anyhow. You take care. Thanks for the tunes.
