Case #8: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is COMPLETELY DRESSED. So dressed. He also looks slightly pink and wrinkly, like he's spent too long in the bathtub.]

I've been in the tub.

[For two days, apparently. And still so unclean. His hair is also not parted and slicked down as usual, and is currently making a sort of wild, fluffy, dark halo around his face. The ends curl a bit. George's hair may eat combs. George is too sulky to do anything about it. This flood has tested even his unwavering positivity.]

I want to apologize for...

...

...everything.

[A curt nod, and the camera is switched off.]

...

[Then switched back on again.]

I would just like to say, also, just so you know, that I am never...unclothed, not even underneath my clothes.

...I'm getting back in the tub.

[The camera is switched off.]

...

[Aaaaaaand switched on again. He's here, he might as well. George clears his throat.]

Who...does...the art?

colonics.

Right. Not you, I understand this, and you seem to have gotten the worse end of this flood...

...but still.

[Upper lip: so stiff.]

I'm terribly sorry, sir: I've no idea what you're talking about.

MMmmmmmhmmmmmm.

[worstsongever]

So you're George again, right?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Miss Penderghast! Yes.

I'm so, so terribly sorry.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's good to see you again.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I suppose I deserve that.

...Sorry. Parker's doing her troll thing.

[yourunichase]

Never unclothed? Not even when you're having sex?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

[So flatly.]

No.

[And actually, this is probably completely true.]

Good to see you again, George.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Sergeant, it is. More than I can say, I'm sure.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how to begin answering that.

[acid_rayne]

The hell is this about?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Er. Nothing, ma'am.

[vampish_aleera]

I do art!

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

You're in charge of the art room?

[most_feared]

...The art?

Oh. Holmes. Yeah, him.

Don't worry. I felt a little off after that flood myself. [UNDERSTATEMENT IS GO!]

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Mr. Holmes is in charge of the art room? That would be quite convenient.

Did you also...eschew trousers?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by "the art"?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Sorry: I was wondering who was in charge there abouts.

[everylittlegirl]

That's a good look for you.

Re: private;

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Sorry?

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

That was not a good flood for you. I like this you better.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Miss...

...

...I can't pronounce your name.
