Case #53: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is in the infirmary. He looks slightly green around the gills (not that he has gills), but otherwise well.]

That was quite unpleasant. I don't believe I like myself when I am angry.

And I hope I didn't put anyone out too much, particularly you, Captain Angua. And Dick: I do of course trust you completely with any of my bodily fluids.

[He nods] He was a millionare. Billionare really. He had a special car and worked closely with the police. There were movies about the guy too but...

[He shrugs] These are all the ones I have. My faster father was a bit of a dick but he let me keep them. My mom gave them to me.

Goodness, just think of all of the crime fighting apparatuses he could afford...

[George slows his flipping.]

I'll be sure to be quite careful with them, Detective. How did you manage in this port?

[He smiles] I fufilled a childhood dream and worked with the Gotham Police Department...as a cop. Second time I've fallen overboard for this sort of thing.

...It was good to be a cop again, even if I was some other guy clinging helplessly to the idea Batman would come back and that his wife and kid were okay.

Hope is never a helpless idea.

No, he believed that.

[Hoffman looks a little sad] Hope his wife and kid made it out before things went bad. Working with Gotham PD though...that was something.

Yes. I too worked for the department for a matter of hours.

You still haven't told me how you ended up here. [Hoffman's voice is very quiet. If shit happened, bad things are going to happen. :| ]

Of course. I was sent to investigate a disturbance, and got into a scuffle with one of the suspects. While blocking one of his blows, my hand was punctured by some sort of needle he had on him. I believe that's how I was exposed to the substance which transformed me.

I'm afraid it gets a bit hazy after that, but I do know I was under the assumption that Dick meant to steal my blood for nefarious means, and that I dog-napped Captain Angua.

And then I died.

[Ah. Death.]

...How'd you feel? ...about..

[And he hates himself because he can't remember if this is the first time George has death-tolled or not.]

Dognapping.

Re: Spam

[19centconstable]

Yes. I'm not proud.

I remember feeling afraid.

...Of being big and scary or of hurting the dog? [Or death, just say it. Death?]

Of dying, actually. What if I hadn't returned here, and was trapped that way in heaven?
