Case #41: Video

[George looks much less youthfully enthusiastic than usual. And sad. Try as he might, he can't quite help but look sad.]

I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of this, but I'm afraid Miss Jane Brunswick has elected to return home. If anyone was wondering.

Jane Brunswick? Wasn't she...

[The last other person from a totalitarian world. It takes him a moment to realise this, and the feed abruptly ends with a click. Sorry, George, he's got some sulking to do.]

[19centconstable]

[But Prefect we could be sulking together.]

[buywithme]

[Last time he sulked in front of you you used logic on him, George. Don't think he doesn't remember.]


[...On the other hand]

Would you like a drink? It would have to be in the infirmary, because I have to wait for my inmate to wake up, but normally when someone I like leaves I go for a drink.

[19centconstable]

I would I think. Though just the one.

Is drinking allowed in the infirmary?

[buywithme]

I'll make sure I get you a big cup then.

Comrade, we're wardens. Even though people like to act as though there are rules which govern the Barge, we are technically allowed to do whatever we want.

[19centconstable]

I suppose that's true. I was just worried it might be unsanitary.

[buywithme]

Oh. No, don't worry about that. What we'll be drinking is completely sterile.

[19centconstable]

How's that?

[...what are we drinking Prefect.]
