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?

I came onto a good friend of mine. Embarrassing as hell.

Sometimes people show up here and they look like they could have been twins with someone else. [It still bothers him Persephone looks so much like his daughter.] You're no more that guy than those people are each other. Arthur and Rex? Two totally different guys. Bruce and Preston? Vegas and Hoffman?

You were as alike to that guy as those sets are to each other. But you got the very upsetting misfortune of some of his memories. I'd just... not put too much weight on them.

It is helpful to hear it put that way.

I do hope your friend wasn't too terribly scandalized.

[Scandalizing Parker is almost funny.] I think she thought it was funny.

Then I hope her reaction wasn't too hurtful to your pride.

Luckily I used most of my pride up years ago. I'm not too worried about it.
